2013 New Jersey Devils (Team News, Player Discussion - Part VI)

[Bleedred]

For the billionth time I posted this in the wrong thread.

Oh well **** Tallinder.

 

[DevilsAnimal*]

Its not Tallinder's fault when we only have one goal (now two)

thats like saying we need goaltending because we lost 1-0

 

[daveskirtun]

He needs at least one more goal so his trade value goes up.

 

[bmqdevils]

his trade value is only going down the more he sucks. get him out of here asap!

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

When was the last time he was on the ice? I almost forgot he was dressed tonight.

 

[Saugus]

I think he was benched in the third tonight. Didn't see him at all.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

When was the last time he was on the ice? I almost forgot he was dressed tonight.

he had 3 shifts in the 3rd period for a total of 1:56. I'd say he's benched next game.

It's not his fault the Devils couldn't get an even strength goal the first 2 periods. However Marty made a save on that PP goal the first one. Marty is in no position to cover that rebound. Tallinder, and whoever was opposite him need to clear that.

I'd trade Tallinder for Foster right now.

 

[Zippy316]

Devils winning and not scoring in the first couple periods doesn't change the fact that Tallinder was ****ing awful tonight.

 

[Bleedred]

I can honestly see us either having to trade Tallinder for a late round pick, or using an amnesty buyout on him cause he's terrible. Not even kidding. 2 of the last 3 games have been a joke. I don't think it's rust, I think he just SUCKS!

He's been a shell of the defenseman he was in Buffalo his entire time in Jersey. Other than the half season with Lemaire. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS expect Tallinder to lose his man.

I'd trade Tallinder for Foster right now.

I'd much rather another 5th round pick.

 

[Whaddagoal]

It was a good portion Greene's fault on that PP goal. Tally had to come across and he got juked out a bit. Greene was still stuck up ice from the rush and Tally had to cover an extra guy.

Just saying.

 

[NJDevs26]

I'd trade Tallinder for Foster right now.

Ew, no...unless you just want to shed salary and send Foster to Albany.

I think the 'experiment' is over after tonight, he only got two minutes in the third period.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Captain obvious thread... Yeah he's playing so bad that he doesn't deserve to be alive.

He sure as hell doesn't deserve to be playing over Fayne right now. There just isn't any excuse for it.

We were also on the PP for nearly 10 minutes, so I'm hesitant to say for sure he's done, but really hope Fayne gets in.

It was actually like 7:15 in the third period. It seemed like more because of the 5-on-3's but it wasn't, there was still plenty of time to have him get a regular shift.

If he isn't scratched/gone on Saturday I think half this board including me will be making a visit to the funny farm.

 

[rtr1105]

If we didn't bench Fayne for his incompetent ass in the first place he would've had much more value.

 

[DatBoyJPP]

If we didn't bench Fayne for his incompetent ass in the first place he would've had much more value.

Except Fayne is our third best defensman and in no way incompetent

 

[CerebralGenesis]

He meant Tallinder's ass

 

[DatBoyJPP]

He meant Tallinder's ass

I see

I've seen people ***** about Fayne on Twitter so I never know anymore

 

[BrodeursCups]

I see

There's a huge anti-fayne crowd on twitter. Don't understand it at all as he's a very solid defenseman. He'll get back in soon and play well. No doubt about it...

 

[onefatsurfer]

I'm willing to give him some more time to snap out of this. He was a very solid d-man before his injury, and has played how many games since? Not many... You guys are being too hard on him, IMO.

 

[NJDevs26]

Twitter? Who the **** do you guys follow on Twitter that's bashing Fayne?

Of course the staff themselves don't seem too high on him now...

 

[Bleedred]

Not me. I think he's been pure trash since we got him. An awful half season like the rest of the team. A great second half like the rest of the team. Nothing impressive in 11/12. Same old **** as now. Also caused a bunch of shorties during that period we were giving them up every other game. Looked like he belonged on the side of the Turnpike during construction last year too before he got injured.

Now he's just playing Foster bad, but he's just **** now. I honestly think if Lou can't get **** for him there's at least one of our amnesty buyouts. He's a shell of who he was in Buffalo. A crushed broken pistachio shell.
