GDT: Canadians vs. Devils 7:00 PM MSG

[billingtons ghost]

He's still kinda young? He is 23 now but turns 24 in 11 days. Basically a year older than White.

I just don't think he does anything well enough to be honest.

Seems like he's been around forever though - he's RFA after this year so not sure if he'll have many better chances to make it with the Devils than today.

 

[billingtons ghost]

where’s matt taormina when you need him?

Evidently the Stockton Heat. We could probably make a deal.

Capfriendly says Dave Schlemko is still out there. He'd be fun to pull off a couch.

i'm just spitballing here, but what about a new reality show where all of lou's failed draft picks live in a house together? well actually, it would probably have to be 2 houses to accommodate them all, but still. we could call it 'curb your expectations'.

every week, all the guys who showed a lot of grit and jam would be given a rose from a red-faced david conte, meaning they survived another week. i would watch the f*** out of that show

Anyone that got suspended for maiming someone while they were in the CHL has to stay in the same room. Fireworks.

 

[Camille the Eel]

What’s the story on Nico? The flu going around? or upper body after Benn pounded him on Saturday? or something else?

I’d prefer it be called Festivus for the Draft pickus. Instead of Conte you could have Frank Costanza airing the grievances with all the picks. I can see it now “Dudek you couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn with your shot if you tried from five feet!” “Rehill get down here and wrestle me!!”

 

[MadDevil]

Only if Matteau is eliminated first.

"You should have been forfeited in the first place!"

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Why are we catering to John ****ing Hayden by thrusting Joey to his off-wing?

 

[AfroThunder396]

I expect we dominate but lose because Domingue. Coleman scores in the first 5 minutes and that's our only offense all game. Kovalchuk 3 goals + 2 assists.

Right across the street in a high rise is where the judges would be......they would be people who represent the 148 names on the Stanley Cup from 1995, 2000 and 2003...Every week they would just look down at the guys across the street from their penthouse while drinking pinacoladas and showing each other the subtle difference between the rings from each year. And at the end of the show they would be the jury.

Edit:
Come to think of it...There might be more names on the cup than failed picks so we might need to rework this script somehow.

boom, that’s perfect. i’m calling mark burnett right now

 

[Maine Fan]

Sound like a "sick" game

Go Devils show us some talent.

 

[MadDevil]

And your winner is... Anthony Brodeur!

 

[None Shall Pass]

And your winner is... Anthony Brodeur!

I'm all for dunking on Lou and Conte's abysmal, terrible, below-replacement-level, comically inept, really atrocious, legitimately and by the statistics second-worst in the NHL level of bad drafting near the end, but wasting a 7th round draft pick on Marty's kid for him is actually sorta sweet.

 

[BahlDeep]

Never heard of the Coronavirus?

Agreed.

Was there one NHL player even picked after Anthony Brodeur that year? I’m gonna bet no.

 

[Bleedred]

I thought Domingue played okay the other night. I didn’t think he had a chance on any of the goals. And I totally back playing Blackwood less these last two months, because it’s a throwaway year and he probably shouldn’t play more than 50-55 games. But Domingue has been horrific this year, so I think it’s fair to expect he’ll be bad more often than not.

 

[MauDevils]

Agreed.

It would be tough, there were only 3 players drafted after him.

 

[NJDevs26]

Agreed.

There were only three picks after him, doesn't look like any of them reached the NHL either but that doesn't count the UDFA signings.

I do think the Anthony pick was a way to smooth things back over with Marty after trading for Cory and likely not telling him.

I was just being a smartass and going off of Jim's idea of former Cup winning Devils being the judges. Marty's kid would obviously win it because nobody would vote against him.

Well that depends...does winning mean the prospect that most sucked or the one that least sucked?

Should the winner be a 50 year old that has been an accountant in London Ontario for last 30 years or a 40 year old that played played 15 years in the minors and even got a couple of call ups?

These are difficult decisions...and without a vision it's doomed to fail...
I understand coming off of the Shero era were not use to planning and we think we can just throw names out there and it will work...but this is a new era.

Definitely the accountant for sure. I dunno why you'd even consider the other guy.

 

[MauDevils]

If I were to criticize some plug in the lineup I would be a traitor and yet people talk about the best GM this franchise will ever have like he was some awful anchor on the organization.

 

[JimEIV]

I use to really like Shea Weber
