I think DOC can be a good bottom 6 player. He has the athleticism to do it. He just needs to focus on getting involved in plays quicker. He's usually a step behind reactionary wise.

If he can figure out how to be a bit more cerebral he won't go back to WBS

Sounds like the forward version of POJ.

Unfortunately DOC has the Ty Smith problem (no need to clear waivers) which means he's back down as soon as Sully can manage it.

Seeing Marino go back to his rookie form, seeing how bad the PP is, seeing how crappy the D is still with little adjustment to the pairings ever- suggests that Reirden needs to GTFO, Velucci too with the PK.

Boy the greatest HC ever having his entire staff liquidated out from underneath him twice during his tenure without his own seat even so much as increasing several degrees in temperature would sure be something!

It's a drawback for him for sure but only if there is a certain level of ambiguity concerning who is better. If he comes in and plays well but not noticeably better than Archicald (for example), then yeah he's going down in favor of Archibald in the effort to maintain both assets.

If he comes in and has a noticeable impact above and beyond what others are providing, then he will stay.

Smith was darn good in pre-season. POJ was pretty darn decent as well and he's been decent this season. Smith in WBS and POJ in the NHL is not an indictment on Smith, Sullivan, or POJ. It's simply a roster/asset management decision to keep both players (for now). I would suggest the front office did not feel there was a measurable or material difference in Smith vs POJ.

Marino is having an excellent start for the devils. He may not be entirely back to form but he is putting up some of his best numbers across the board in a small sample.

it isn't to surprising because he is entering his prime. marino is a good player. I would have preferred to move Petts over him but it is what it is. The issue with the defence is not Petry or lack of marino. Its the top pairing being dogcrap and dumo being overplayed

Who gives a shit about what Marino has done through 9 games?

I hope they get POJ or Smith som being minutes at some point this season. Dumo really needs out of the top 4. He is the biggest problem right now on the defense.

The Devils have played the easiest schedule in terms of strength of schedule to start the season.

Flyers
Wings
Ducks
Isles
Sharks
Caps
Wings
Avs
CBJ.

They've likely played two teams that make the playoffs. Glad Marino is doing amazing work against the bottom of the league.

look man I am just saying he has had a good start. The fact is that trade will be under a microscope all year. It is what it is.
 
Red hot to ice cold to start the season. Not sure which team we actually are, but the answer is likely something in the middle. Interested to see how thosbplays out.
 
The Devils have been really good analytically so they might just be for real. Will be interesting to see how that holds up when they play a tougher schedule though.

Marino has been unquestionably good for them.

I don't know that Marino would have been as good here, so it what it is.

She has some really cool outfits which I always enjoy. Badass wardrobe.

If we play as badly as we did on the road trip then it's gonna be fun listening to Ray Ferraro rip this team a new asshole. He never minces words lol. If we are mailing it in he will call it like it is.

I believe us Bruins fans are pretty surprised at the good start. Most of us thought the first half of the season would be rough without MacAvoy, Brad and Grizz. I was thrilled to see Brad back so soon.

Also David Krejci (upper body) will travel with the team, though he will not play Tuesday,

Whether the timeline was legit or not, I actually have a lot of admiration for that little rat for his return. Double hip surgery is no f***ing joke and he looked strong in that comeback game... the athlete in me applauds that.
