Devils discussion (news, notes and speculation) - part III

[Forge]

I'm not sure how Nemec could have beaten me out much less Kovacevic or anyone else when he came into the season injured and hasn't really recovered until lately.

He's hardly playing mediocre hockey in the AHL - he's got 17 points in 17 games, after starting slowly with 1 point in 7. The only knock on him was the knock on him at draft day that he's a touch physically soft in the D zone in front of the net. He'd hardly be the first finesse defenseman with that issue.

Also, he's a team leading +3 on a team that's like a -29 at Even Strength or something

I could be wrong but I feel like the lack of bottom-6 help is causing our top-6 to overplay their hand and try to force things a bit. The sickness running through the locker room doesnt help either!

The team was at its best when the bottom-6 was helping out; lets hope Fitzgerald can figure that out for us (and hopefully soon!)

At least they have taken some of these games to O/T and salvaged at least a point and like others have said if for not hitting posts the script is totally reversed on some of these games....

So basically we’re the Islanders now…aspire for that OT loss! Against the Panthers and Leafs is one thing, against the Flyers and Sharks it’s embarrassing

the Sharks just beat Tampa lately. EMBARASSING!

the Flyers beat the Panthers last week. UNACCEPTABLE!!

These losses are now starting to throw a frown on my face

Might make the FO do a panic move

I'm not sure Fitz ever makes a panic move. He really appears to be as measured as can be in this regard....for better and worse, I think lol

Don't care how bad Haula was before going out, we need him back. So much more flexibility with him in the lineup.

 

[Devs3cups]

I’ll have GDT up for tomorrow’s game against the Sens. Quick and easy style. Maybe it brings some good fortune.

At this point, I'm just watching the highlights.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

oh boy

If I have to watch a slopfest with Lemaire in the house, I’ll throw a drink on the ice.

With the team being as sick as they are, I would sell my tickets if I were you. I feel bad for the poster who said he flew to Jersey to watch both weekend games.

 

[forceten]

NO to JT Miller. Locker Room culture is a major thing.

Ha, well I don’t get to as many games as I used to now with a newborn at home. This will only be my second game of the season, and I’ll be there for the Lemaire ceremony for sure. I love that man.

 

[jkrdevil]

oh boy

Apparently the Rangers top prospects in Hartford are a healthy scratches tonight.

 

[NJDevils17]

Injecting JT Miller into your already horribly fractured lockeroom, what could go wrong?

 

[Billdo]

Amanda's gotta be on Ozempic, no?
