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

[DEVILS ALL THE WAY*]

What about Zubrus, Clarkson, Bernier, Harrold, Butler, and Hedberg?

Can't complain about Zubrus, even if I thought the term was wayyyy too long for someone like him but he's a key piece that's very underated around here.

Regarding Clarkson, we signed him on the cheap didn't we not, so I don't see the point of bringing him up cause we didn't spend over 10M$ like we did with #7 and Anton. See Clarkson when talking about Bernier, Harrold and Butler.

The only real gem Lou pulled out of his hat was Moose, I'll give him that.

 

[DEVILS ALL THE WAY*]

Volchenkov isn't playing fine relative to Tallinder. Volchenkov is playing fine regardless. If you truly believe that Fayne in over Tallinder makes Volchenkov the problem, then you're honestly just looking for someone to be the goat.

Put in Fayne instead of #7 and Volch becomes our weakest d-men. It's just reality, nothing more.

 

[MartyOwns]

I'm talking about the players we actually inked to deals... you know, like #7 and Anton.

Parise left and that's just fine. I don't remember me talking about Parise in the first place, since he didn't resign with us.

right...and im saying for every boneheaded contract he does sign, theres a million he doesnt. i.e. parise

 

[DEVILS ALL THE WAY*]

We gave Parise a pretty solid offer and if Lou would've broke the bank like the Wild did, who knows, he would probably be here today. Lou did offer him a outrageous deal, Parise just chose a bigger one and signed elsewhere.

It's not like he didn't offer him a deal, wich seems to be what your implying.

 

[NJDevs26]

I'm pretty sure the Devils get fined if Fayne is injured and it's not reported.

I don't think he's injured.

Not if nobody ever finds out. This is the Devils, they can keep just about anything they want from going public.

 

[Bleedred]

Someone made the joke after the 5-1 loss at Pittsburgh that all of our defensemen are playing like crap. To purposely play like crap so their trade values goes down, and they don't get traded away. Clearly Tallinder is either doing this or he's done.

I would agree with you but with the amnesty that would only hurt his value on his next contract. If he was Volk and signed for three years that would make sense but he would literally take millions out of his pocket if he was doing that this year

They're insane for playing him tomorrow. Take him out tomorrow, and put him back in Sunday if it's a must. Ovy was passing him around like a dirty magazine, and even superstar Troy Brouwer was having fun with him at one point.

I was trying to defend him before yesterday, but yesterday was bad. Maybe he needs to sit one more time to get his head straight but we can't have such a liability I won't be harsh and say he is done but he is making mental mistakes. it isn't talent as much as it seems to be confidence he seems to always go for the wrong side of oncoming players

 

[NJDevs26]

Imagine if this was Montreal, and a Fayne-type was getting scratched daily there. Good god, the speculation that would be going on would be almost laughable. This is where we're 'lucky' nobody really pays attention, other than when we scratch Kovy for being late to team meetings.

What have been the Devils slogans/campaigns for the past couple of years? Can't think of them off the top of my head. Like this years is Get Your Jersey On.

Rise Up, Red Alert, Jerseys Team going off some of the playoff towels in my room

 

[Zippy316]

Speaking about players from the UFA period, I think Lou knows what kind of players this team needs. We need big-bodied strong wingers whose strengths are along the boards.

Just some guys from this UFA period that fit that:

Antropov
Horton, unfortunately, he shoots right, if he was a lefty, I would love to see Horton-Zajac-Kovalchuk.
Clowe, shoots left too.

Honestly, that's it for the realistic wingers, didn't include Iginla. There's the abundance of guys like Ponikarovski, but those are really the only guys that have some sort of top six ability.

swarm it up!

Edit: i remember the devils putting up a poll on facebook between, "get your jersey on" and "the devils made me do it" and i could have sworn "devils made me do it" won and it was never used.

Red Alert

Devils Army

I love that "Jersey's Team" is back. I could never get into "Get Your Jersey On".

And "Red Alert" has been an awesome playoff theme. Those air raid sirens get me amped.

 

[HenriquesJawLine]

I think 08-09 was "rock your red" or something similar

That one was very meh

 

[MountainGoat]

didn't Fayne have a death in his family a week or so ago? or am I thinking of someone else?

 

[Bleedred]

Yes he did.

 

[Jersey Man]

Thanks everyone. It's for a marketing project.

 

[Devils86]

Not sure how you can hate Oates, good guy, just not great and drawing up Power plays

I hope after we leave Saturday (with a win) he can get something on track. Want to see him succeed.

Met Oates in a bar (in boston this hole in the wall place)when he played there. Bought us a round of beers and talked hockey for a half hour,,,was very cool just like a regular guy hanging out.

Jersey's Team is good, I always saw that on the posters in NJT trains I liked Get Your Jersey on. it was goofy and witty, and could've meant to put one on

 

[battlingBard56]

I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can find Lokti's draft video? I understand since we weren't the ones who drafted him people here might not know but I wanted to ask anyways. I'm curious to find out what was said about him when he was drafted.
(I also know this is probably the wrong thread to ask this, but I figured it couldn't hurt. Feel free to move if need be.)

I'm pretty sure i've seen a "Get your Jersey on" sign in the penalty box this season. Also pretty sure I saw it at the Rock last time I was there
