lol from that same article for coach who'd you like least to play for:
Lindy Ruff got a handful of votes, too.

"I just think he's too old,” a player said. “I don't think he understands the game anymore. That's what I hear from the guys that play for him, that he just doesn't know what's going on most of the time."

Wonder which guys on the Devils spread that hahah

NHL player poll: Best/worst facilities? NBA-style tournament? Season too long? Should Bettman retire?

The Athletic polled 111 players on eight questions covering a variety of topics, granting them anonymity so they could speak freely.

Oof.

Visually that looked true on the ice.

Sharangovich would be one of them for sure. I think he liked an IG post announcing his firing on a hockey news account.

"I just think he's too old,” a player, who would neither confirm nor deny that he is a 26 year old Swiss third line center, said. “I don't think he understands the game anymore. That's what I hear from the guys that play for him, that he just doesn't know what's going on most of the time."

I corrected the quote for you.

This thing is great!

i'm cheap i dont pay for online media

Dillon's been predominantly with Pesce the past couple games. Hamilton with Sieg's. Obviously the injury last night screwed that up.

Meh results for Sieg's-Hams.

Serves me right for not watching the last couple, appreciate the correction.

3rd in GAA and 10th in GFA. Thats good considering their slump. Get healthy after the break and I can see this team finding their groove again.

Edit: Weird, that website didn’t have Winnipeg listed. Devils actually 4th and 11th in those respective categories

Lol

That does sound like something Gauthier could say lol….quote is laced with piss and vinegar. Love it. He could have been a Devil if we didn’t hold the 2OA pick. Seems like exactly the type of young player we could use, too.

If it was me we definitely call up Nemec as he is begging to be called up & is the best player available we can bring up. Perhaps he regains his form from last year & becomes a beast. If it was me I would try
Hughes-Kovy
Pecse-Hamilton
Dillon-Nemec
Pesce has no issues playing on his off wing & maybe reignites Hamilton, we also get to evaluate Kovy to see if he can handle those type of minutes (if he can, then we offer him a contract & try to shed dougie). Dillon/Nemec was the original pair supposed to play together that never happened so would be nice to see it.

Huzzah for the devils!

Winnipeg being #1 doesn't surprise me. I've been to a lot of cities and I can't imagine living there. I like the cold but I don't want to have to walk underground because it's that cold. It's gloomy and gray. It's a dump and there was nothing redeeming about any of it. I'd never go back.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Lazar, what a goof.

I hear the concierge scene is pretty popping though!

Looking at the trade market I can’t help but think Fitzgerald is likely going to be going off the board with his trade targets.

The rental market looks bleak. The prices are a bit crazy and the Devils don’t have cap space or assets to be in on some of these guys.

Fitzgerald loves his cheap depth guys with term (Cotter, Lazar) so I wonder if he’s scouring that market again. I feel like the forward addition is also going to be someone with some term (McCann, O’Reilly, Rakell, Bjorkstrand).

Tatar being a part of a deal for cap reasons just seems like a given at this point. I also wonder if Bastian gets moved in a lateral deal for a similar player. It seems like both he and Lazar have fallen off hard but Lazar at least provides faceoff utility.

Can’t wait for Colton White to get the call instead of Nemec
