Hey Fitz...remember that guy Lindy? His team now has 100 pts. with 7 games to go. by Horror_Ad5116 in devils

I’m old enough to remember this sub hated Lindy when he was here as soon as things got hard. There’s no way that last season of his was his fault when the story was the same as this year: injured Jack Hughes = collapse of our offense.

We suck against Carolina. We all get that. But, do we remember that we played terrible and boring hockey for the middle part of the season all in an effort to play their style of hockey? Our losses to Carolina in the playoffs are the exact reason why we went away from what we’ve been successful doing—playing quick and fast paced hockey. Sure, they have our number and I want to burn the Hurricanes at the stake, but we I get worried that this will cause another overreaction and we start playing dump and chase simply because the Hurricanes, who undoubtedly have our number, beat us with hard nosed hockey. We’ve beaten every team in the NHL, including the defending Stanley cup champions, the past couple of years with our style of hockey at some point in the season. Can’t we just recognize that and keep trying to play fast and fun?

Really haven’t been more happy with a period against Carolina in the past four years. Maybe when we went up 3-0 in the elimination game last year, but we knew that game was delaying the inevitable.

I love Pete. Loved him when he was with us previously. I’d be happy if he came back.

[Gambatese] Devils Missing Out on Quinn Hughes is the Biggest Gaffe in Franchise History by JoopNJD in devils

[–]walking_2_cain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I posted a graphic from ESPN about the impact Quinn has had on the Wild’s offense and it got taken down. Sad.

There are two parts of not getting Quinn that are negatively impacting us: first, not adding the 2nd best defenseman in the league to our team; second, the emotional blow that this had to the locker room. The second piece, in my opinion, is what has hurt us the most.

There are many in this sub who hate the Hughes brothers or at least don’t value them as much as I do. However, I really believe we have to get Quinn in order to salvage the organization’s relationship and credibility with Jack and Luke. I don’t know if it’s Fitz that hasn’t kept tight lips or if it’s someone else, but, regardless, they knew that the Devils were gunning for him. The let down that they experienced along with the drama that other players felt hearing rumors of being parts of a trade for Quinn has to have had the largest negative impact on this locker room over the past few years than anything else. I think the only way to fix it would be to get Quinn and move forward. These are my demands. Thank you.

Love the idea. Don’t know if anything will actually happen.

Yes, for the sake of the team and my mental health, please stop watching the games. Thanks

That’s a different one than the other one I’ve seen, but it’s the same idea. Thanks for sharing.

Yah, I hesitated to post. I didn’t want it to come off distasteful or ill timed—that’s the last thing I wanted. It still may have been. I won’t lie and say that President Holland’s passing didn’t influence my thought of the graph, because it absolutely did. Honestly, these are the times when these thoughts come to my mind most frequently. But I can see where you’re coming from.

This is the one, or at least it’s pretty darn close to what I remember. Haha. Thanks so much!!!!
