Devils 2021 training camp thread (news, notes and speculation)

[HellOnIce]

It's Wotherspoon - check out this dude's Twitter - his follows and likes...it's OANtastic

 

[Guttersniped]

UGH

 

[Hisch13r]

This next week's going to be so slow. Just get me to the preseason

 

[Guttersniped]

This is because Boqvist has shown he isn’t any good at the NHL level (can’t score at all) and McLeod is too much of a question mark for a top-9 role. He had an Adam Henrique shooting percentage last year, after scoring absolutely 0 goals almost 40 games into his NHL career.

I know why this is happening, they had a tough time getting other lines going offensively. It f***ing sucks.

Graves is a good interview.

He looks like a high school kid. baby faced. So young in appearance. LOL

 

[Guttersniped]

Fitz is going to pull a Lou and have the player whacked

Where the Twitter rumor guy who knew about Nico’s leg. I’m not going to speculate.

Time to YEET

Oh yeah his follows are a dead giveaway.

At least it's not anyone important.

Haha if this ends up being true, nice work.

Yeah and using the guy who has never created or produced much at 5v5 is definitely going to be the guy that gets another line going, but hey as long as you ignore that incredibly important context and just look at his raw pt totals from last year he can TOTALLY be that guy... Braindead move

 

[Guttersniped]

There's a video of PK dancing maskless. It's not him. Blackwood and Kuokkanen seem to be the options

Don’t say Blackwood. Or I will start to think our goaltending situation will be eternally cursed.

 

[Hisch13r]

It's likely not him. Just someone people have speculated. Also the Athletic said we're 100% vaxxed so it's probably a prospect or a PTO guy with Wotherspoon seeming to maybe check out based on what others have said

 

[Based Anime Fan]

I didn't even know what a Wotherspoon was until it was posted. Like, didn't even register he was one of the PTOs.

I looked through his twatter, most crypto stuff from what I saw.

I checked his likes on Twitter (because I have nothing better to do), sure he liked a Fox News and a Newsmax article... but the first one is about remembering falling soldiers and the second one about people rescuing someone from an alligator in a zoo... Those are probably hints, but he really doesn't post or like political stuff (on the other hand he seems to be pretty heavy into crypto).

He also seems to love Tim Allen lol

Holy shit, good find if it ends up being true lmao.

A lot of the folks he follows have been heavily pushing anti-vax stuff for months now.

He is most likely smart enough to realize he shouldn't be liking those tweets since he needs a job.

Vesey spoke today so I doubt it's him, and Fitz made it sound like the active roster all got their shots so it most likely has to be a PTO

 

[njdevils1982]

you got it…

 

[Call Me Al]

never thought i’d see an old and in the way reference here, wow

 

[Guttersniped]

I was told it's Blackwood and I really hope I'm wrong. HOWEVER, while he's our future #1, I feel in good hands with Bernier.... certainly much better than Wedgewood/Dell.

f***ING KILL ME, IS THAT TRUE? I CAN’T TAKE THIS NEWS, I’M LITERALLY HAVING A PANIC ATTACK.

CAN THIS TEAM MANAGE TO HAVE TWO f***ING FUNCTIONAL NHL GOALIES AT ONE TIME ON THE ROSTER? HOW MANY YEARS DO HAVE TO WAIT FOR THIS MIRACLE.

DON’T BREAK MY GODDAMN HEART BY RANDOMLY BEING AN IDIOT MAC. GOALTENDING CAN’T DESTROY A 3RD SEASON IN A ROW, DEAR GOD.

The last preseason had the double kick in the face of Crawford’s retirement and Nico’s secret injury after we waited 9 f***ing months for Devils hockey.

 

[Nubmer6]

Why, oh why couldn't it be Nas that's unvaxed?

It's not Blackwood. They wouldn't let him do his press event maskless if it was him.

Good thing someone on the board completely freaked me out with bullshit then. After what happened with Crawford and how generally our team has gotten better that last few years but the goaltending has made us look like complete garbage… I really need good goaltending this year. I just solid, non-trash fire goaltending from two NHL goaltenders on roster at the same time.

This is my dream.
