GDT: Devils @ Golden Knights - 8:00 PM - MSG

[Billdo]

Not blaming Jack when two of his injuries have been board collisions. McDavid broke his collarbone his rookie year on the same thing and no one called him soft. You're not winning a collision with that at full speed regardless your stature.

Mcdavid also didn't miss a game the next two years after that. These injuries are "freak" injuries, sure. But when they happen to the same player over and over that kind of blurs the line between bad luck and injury prone IMO.

 

[Unknown Caller]

Keefe’s reaction is brutal. Not optimistic about the Jack news.

 

[Eggtimers]

If Jack is out long term, they should be sellers instead of buyers

Whatever tentative deals we had in place , the price just went up if Jack is hurt . Good job waiting Fitz

 

[NjDevsRR]

 

[Whaddagoal]

LTIR jack and bring in some big guy? Somehow... Lol.

Miracle is team makes playoffs and somehow survive without jack. I'm going to go do something other than hockey watch for a few days. This is brutal.

 

[NJDevs26]

Yeah that replay looks more like a wrist injury...not that a fracture there is any day at the beach

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Keefe’s reaction is brutal. Not optimistic about the Jack news.

Because it doesn't matter if Jack is or isn't in the lineup, he knows he's f***ed regardless with this dogshit roster

 

[longislanddevil]

Keefe looks more somber than usual in his presser. Have a bad feeling Jack’s injury is serious. Season over if it is.

 

[MadDevil]

Not sure how we are blaming Jacks physique on the 3 injuries he took in his career. We have seen bulls like Kovalchuk take similar spills and get similar injuries. Putting on weight doesn’t prevent Wrist/Clavicle/Shoulder injuries like that.

Because people need to bitch about something. I swear to f***ing God we could have McDavid on this team and people would find something to bitch about.

 

[Better Call Sal]

I can’t f***ing believe this.

 

[Lou is God]

It's over Johnny.

 

[IDEKWTM]

Because people need to bitch about something. I swear to f***ing God we could have McDavid on this team and people would find something to bitch about.

To be fair, we have suck for half the season.

Can't blame fans for losing their patience.

Once again, explain how a back checking Jack Eichel wouldn't do that to 99% of the leagues players. The end result would be the same collision for mostly everyone.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Who was the last good team we beat?

 

[Billdo]

So he's dead

 

[NJDevs26]

Imagine how bad Fitz would have f***ed up the forwards if he HAD gotten Stamkos or Marscheaullt lol

 

[DerekDevils30]

Who was the last good team we beat?

Tampa in OT Jan 11

Then direct it at actual problems. This bullshit narrative that hitting the weight room is going to make Jack f***ing Wolverine is asinine.

 

[Cheddabombs]

I was a Fitz truther. Thought he was doing a good job at building a more cohesive team. Somewhere along the way he strayed too far off the path. I'm not sure how much faith I have in him anymore.

 

[Whaddagoal]

I'm more concerned about long-term jack. How many arm and shoulder injuries can this guy sustained where it just breaks his elite ability. I know he had one one each side but this seems to be another bad one

This season is now a rando-outcome.

Bummmmmmmmmmmmer all around

 

[Jersey Fresh]

To be fair, we have suck for half the season.

Can't blame fans for losing their patience.

And now another Jack injury might have fully put the nail in the coffin. Astounding that some people seriously expect stoic zen in the face of months of bad play and our most important player injured again.

This isn’t a rebuild anymore. At some point we’re supposed to win meaningful games.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Jack will be back just in time for round 2.

At the golf resort in Cancun.

 

[NJDevs26]

I wouldn't call Jack injury prone based on board collisions per se but he does seem to inordinately put himself in harm's way either through carelessness, lack of balance, bad decision making whatever.

 

[JrFischer54]

I know people will say it’s not jacks fault he smashed into the boards he’s not injury prone. Well that is true it’s a hard collision it’s just weird his shoulder (I’m assuming) seems to be the only one in the league that’s weaker than a wet noodle. Not good thing for a player that is your franchise piece.

 

[Bleedred]

There’s 3 sheriff cruisers on my block.

I’m now paranoid someone called on me for talking a bunch of shit about Tom Fitzgerald.

He has friends in high places.
