Timo going full Scott Gomez on that contract would be hilarious.

It would be but I doubt it happens.

I'm more annoyed that Ruff, for all his flaws, just snuffed that shit out immediately while we've gone through 3 iterations of coaches who would have given the same player endless rope to play with while reprimanding someone else just because.

The Devils are finding out what it is like to be the favorites. Many people predicted big things for them. It's early. Ruff benched Meier last night after taking two penalties in the second period. Meier hasn’t been good in Jersey. Even last season after the trade. Meier went from being the guy in San Jose to playing second unit PP in Jersey. There is one puck. You can make the argument Meier has been the Devils worst player this season. Fitzgerald paid him a fortune. Luke Hughes was hurt in camp. The Devils lost Severson and Graves. Those guys aren't great players but they played key minutes. The Devils need to replace those minutes. The Devils acquired Miller from Dallas. He hasn’t played a game. Ruff benched Marino last night.

I'm not worried about them figuring it out, it's early. Even good and great players have slow starts. Their Achilles heel is and will remain goaltending and their inexperienced defense.

John Marino is terrible too. Once Lindy Ruff figures this out they'll be cooking.

I'd rather our overpaid guys than Horvat or Meier. Timo blew in the playoffs and was friends with Evander Kane. Def questionable character to boot. Those two are signed for like a decade.

I'm not saying who I'd rather have, I'm saying that I'd rather have top guys who are underperforming handled the way that Meier was handled than the way our guys have been.

Oh yeah they stink. No shame in it, this core got them the cup, they’re just old and withered now. Rebuild on the horizon, will
Probably draft the next Russian superstar and win another cup before us

They were literally one spot away in the draft from doing just that. Philly beat them to it.
