GDT: Devils at Canes

[Borsig]

I’d guess the thought is it’s a shot over Haula’s wife’s miscarriage a few years ago.

oh I thought it was directed at Orlov.

eh kinda low. I just want to see him have a season ending injury lol

Ah, I never made that connection as I thought it was aimed at Orlov.

Miscarriages are way more common than people recognize. My wife had 5 miscarriages. Doesn't make it easier and nothing to make fun of though, but I was surprised at how commonplace it was after we had our first.

It might be, that’s just the first thing I could think of that would be thought of as “low” regarding a quote about a guys family being smaller.

If I misunderstood the post/comment, my sincere apologies and I will erase my post if so.

I’m muting a whole lot of whiny Devils fans (redundant, I know) on Twitter because the stupid algorithm thinks I want to see that shit.

I don't know if you misunderstood it or not. It wasn't clear.

There was one post that (in poor taste) directly referenced the Haula's miscarriage. It's since been deleted so I'm not sure if subsequent posts were related, but the subject was directly referenced earlier.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Haula is an ass, and I'm all for seeing him get his shit kicked on the ice, but anybody making fun of his wife's miscarriage is totally out of line and I will fight them at a Bojangles of their choosing.

 

[bleedgreen]

I’ve never had any problems with a Haula and still don’t.

Yeah Carrier is the Fast replacement. That’s 1 for 1.

The other forwards have some mental gymnastics involved in who is replacing who. I think in their cap structure it’s Robinson replacing Noesen.

Robinson feels like Noesen's successor except that he's used on the PK rather than the PP. Roslovic has basically entirely replaced TT and then some (at 5-on-5) at around the same cap hit as Noesen got from the Devils. Both signings were Panthers-esque in terms of savvy, low-risk, system-related gambles. It really would not shock me if Robinson gets a 2-3 year extension similar to what Chatfield got this offseason. Roslovic is probably just a 1 year guy if the Canes go big-game hunting in the top-6, but simultaneously, if they strike out again, I could see them agree to something medium-term with him.

Haula hit was worse than Meier's, and honestly deserves a league review. That said, both led with elbows and absolutely should have been majors + ejections. I love that ORLOV went to the bench, wiped his face, then came back and threw Haulas bitch ass down. I don't even care that he got a penalty for it, SOMEONE had to make a point. It pisses me off that KK is the only guy who really took exception to either hit, nobody on this team shows any guts. It's about time we start running goalies and throwing elbows in games like that, if refs clearly aren't going to call it we need to take advantage of the "refs aren't going to call every little thing"

Also, FWIW Blake definitely seems to be a bit of a flopper, but he's about the only one I can say really embellishes. Every team has 1-2 (BOS/FLA have 4-5) floppers that draw calls, and I really wish the league would start calling it more aggressively.

Blake is tiny. He’s learning how to be an NHL player, but right now he’s a very small player who gets whipped around and pushed off his skates almost every shift. He’s going to get stronger and better in that regard. Over the past summer he really bulked up. I don’t really think he’s a flopper. More to follow……

Kinda, in the sense that he was brought in with a low cap hit to play on the 4th line. Kinda not in that he is used differently and the two players are totally different.

Noesen isn't a great skater, but is physical, had good hands around the net and is an asset on the PP. His game is best down low, grinding and around the net.

Robinson is a great skater, is also a bit physical, doesn't have great hands around the net and is an asset on the PK. His game is best being able to skate in open ice.

As I said in an earlier post, Blake is actually used the way Noesen was used. Clearly he's not as physical as Noesen though.

Dang, the little debbie fans are still very upset.

So, Carolina fans are inbred and “don’t know the game” is very curious. Did you know, in the Mecca of NJ, it is legal to marry your 1st cousin? And that NJ actually has a measurably higher rate of inbreeding than NC (lol). NJ’s entire identity and culture is tied to and reliant on its geographic location to major cities in other states. It is a state people inadvertently drive through all to cross a bridge to get to the actual place they want to go. The Mississippi of the northeast.

I don’t really think about them lol.

Remember when they beat us 24 hours beforehand and we blew up the main boards and made the entire HF experience about us the entire time because of how sore we are at losing?

They're still as bitter as Brodeur about 2009...hell they still think it was GI

 

[CandyCanes]

They’re still bitter about 2002, 2006, 2009, & 2023. They’d have to rewind their brains back to 2001, the last time they had any true meaningful success again us.

Was there this much pushback on Tkatchuk coming back after the Kucherov hit? It seems like the same situation as Necas.

Well no because to HFB Tkachuk is a good North American kid and Necas is Eurotrash. The Don Cherry mindset lives strong on this site.

 

[CandyCanes]

Pretty crazy stat that Haula is 1-18 at PNC/Lenovo since being traded.

Seems there is some salt still in Tampa.

Plus, they’re so stupid they can’t pump their own gas!

He’s getting the Lindholm treatment. Guys look pretty dumb when they turn heel and then go like 5 years of straight Ls.

I'm going to miss Orlov. He's the perfect personality for a Brind'amour d-core
