Devils 2020-21 team discussion (news, notes and speculation) - part XVII

[The 29th Pick]

give Gusev a few more days off

 

[Hisch13r]

give Gusev a few more days off

With Nico and Zajac out and Jack with Johnsson and Bratt it's not like Gusev will be able to be effective anyway

 

[The 29th Pick]

...just ridiculous. but yeah, gomer was a streaky scorer to say the least. but he could charge the puck through the neutral zone like no other center we had

so true, he was just so smooth and fluid, really made it look easy

 

[BurntToast]

Palms, your contract negotiations start tomorrow.

We saw how the Devils played without you, and with Goose in the lineup.

Now, it’s your turn..

 

[OmNomNom]

Gusev and Kulikov were still on the covid list that was released today.

So that means it's prob just formalities

Or the league will penalize us for having them skate

 

[Better Call Sal]

Don’t know if this got shared earlier today, but cool little focus story for Black History Month on our very own Arlette.

 

[NJDevs26]

So did PK admit he had the virus this offseason too? It was so odd he and Wood managed to avoid the breakout I assumed they both had it already and Wood confirmed he did.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

So will the game tomorrow get cancelled for the ice storm? Wouldn't that be a kick in the plums?

Spirit of the CBA....rabble, rabble....

I’m not in NJ so I’m not sure how bad the storm is supposed to get, but I highly doubt it considering neither team has to travel in for the game and the area knows how to handle winter weather (not a Dallas situation).

At this point, they should make both teams arrive early, play the game and sleep over at The Rock like it’s a big slumber party.

I hadn't even thought of that. I'm usually terribly out of the loop when it comes to national weather emergencies.

 

[JK3]

I wonder if Dell is going to get the start, he did play in Bing over the weekend.

I checked Accuweather and the Hourly part of the storm in Newark, and it shows that the storm would end at 10 am tomorrow morning.

There are no further storms or anything else after that.

I think the game goes on as scheduled.

and instead of line brawls they can have pillow fights while the PA system plays tommy james and the shondells

No chance, it will actually be in the high 40s tomorrow afternoon once the ice storm moves through.

Oh I know there should be no issue. I was just thinking of what else could go wrong lol.

Stars & Predators just got postponed because of weather.

actually PK would get COVID 14 because he's minus 5
oohhhhh

 

[The 29th Pick]

I forgot already, who's better Dell or Comrie ?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Dell. Better pads.

 

[The 29th Pick]

Dell. Better pads.

Bigger pads ? !!!!

 

[MartyOwns]

Stars & Predators just got postponed because of weather.

i don’t like this pattern. if a game gets postponed because of locusts, we’re in big trouble

 

[Guttersniped]

I forgot already, who's better Dell or Comrie ?

It might just be because I’m punchy due to lack of sleep but genuinely lol’ed here.

Who can say, we’re just going to go with all eight goalies we have now.
