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

[JrFischer54]

If the devils make it to the deadline next year without him being hurt they have to count their blessings and go all in and hope he can make it through the last 1/4 of the season.

 

[Patrik26]

Listen I dunno what to tell you except there is zero chance our star forward plays a full season and he constantly falls down on the ice when skating on his own. Both are huge concerns fluke or not fluke doesn’t change the fact that it seems to happen to him the most on the team.

Face it. Fanboys will be fanboys. Jack can do no wrong.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I didnt see what happened to Jack I shut it off soon as it was 2-0...is there a clip anywhere?

All of Jack's injuries seem to have been from him flying into the boards

Tripped and crashed into the boards hard. Holding his wrist or forearm.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Lol yeah, we deserve bad hockey because we have differing opinions. What a god awful opinion that is, much less coming from a mod on the site.

 

[Devs3cups]

Happens all the time in the league every year jacks got the noodle shoulder though.

I really doubt that being tripped like that so close to the boards at full speed happens all the time.

 

[guitarguyvic]

How did Patrick Kane manage to avoid major injuries until about 3 seasons ago? Same basic physical stature. Maybe he played a smarter game and knew when to slow it down. I've said it before, I'll say it again. Jack is not a smart player. Talented, sure. But not the brightest bulb on the ice.

Stayed on his skates more consistently than Jack does and knew how to avoid dangerous plays without sacrificing his productivity?

The homerism about stuff on here is crazy though. Like I don’t even know what people consider “injury prone” anymore, because apparently it’s no longer related to how frequently one gets injured.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Face it. Fanboys will be fanboys. Jack can do no wrong.

The team is dog water with or without Jack. Being more mad about Jack crashing wrist first in the board on a freak play instead of the roster multination Fitz has done is some hilarious 3D chess.

 

[JimEIV]

No thanks. I closed that thing years ago.
Others on here have said worse about him. I call it like it is. And it's not even his fault for the most part.

I shut down my Facebook account in October of 2020. The political bullshit got to ridiculous levels.... I was just there just trying to show friends fish pictures.

Tripped and crashed into the boards hard. Holding his wrist or forearm.

He's done that each time he's been injured.

Patrick Kane is a complete liability defensively. If he was a Devil, people here would bitch and complain how bad he is defensively and argue that Curtis Lazar is more of a "devils culture" fit than Patrick Kane. FOH with that nonsense

 

[Devs3cups]

Lol wut? Finishing 7th place with everyone hurt and the coach fired?

This is legit nonsense and why this fanbase deserved to get royally shit on as being entitled babies

I had more fun watching the team last season. Since the new year they can’t do crap, and now their star player is injured. It’s been horrible and legit no fun for 2 months now. We had 1 good month this year. The season feels really bleak.

Not sure how that makes me deserving of shit hockey. I’ve stuck around and been positive during the tough/rebuilding years.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Isnt Jack top 10 in points?

We need more forwards who can fly and produce. The Jack hate here is bonkers. If you want to be good again, we need more speed and skill on the forward group.

Again

More just nonsense talk.

Some of you guys need a break from hockey I think

 

[Better Call Sal]

This year is worse, last year we could blame it on Ruff/no goaltending. The coach and goalie excuse is out the door, this roster is legit just not good and they went back even further of what made them great in 22/23

This argument is silly to begin with, but I don’t know how anyone could say anything about last year was more enjoyable. Every night last year was a roller coaster with whether we’d be able to get a save or play the slightest bit of defense.

Other than the Stadium Series win, last season was a chore on my health. Give me this year’s team and structure over that any day.

I was at the game. He was hurt bad

Nah. It's all I got. NFL, NBA, MLB, etc, etc all suck. Plus it's fun in here.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

No thanks. I closed that thing years ago.
Others on here have said worse about him. I call it like it is. And it's not even his fault for the most part. He's small. Surround him with beef.

What, exactly, would surrounding him with "beef" have done to prevent what happened tonight? Be as specific as possible.

 

[JrFischer54]

For people saying Jack isn’t injury prone just use the term unlucky prone then. Either way you can’t count on the guy making the full season.

 

[guitarguyvic]

What does this have to do with him being a similar stature with similar offensive abilities who didn’t get injured as frequently/easily as Jack does?

 

[Marv4Life]

2023-2024 was better/more fun than this season.

Lol last season was garbage.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Nah. It's all I got. NFL, NBA, MLB, etc, etc all suck. Plus it's fun in here.

The sport might not be for you if your take is Jack is a dumb player.

Pretty sure he means in the cranium. That would definitely help.

We've had that at points this year as well + we can't score at all and the bottom 6 is completely decimated. This team is also a chore to watch, I've been the most checked out watching a Devils team I have ever been because of what Fitz has done up front and Jack/Bratt having to carry this team nightly since NYE's which is shades of 17-18 Hall

 

[Devs3cups]

The group needs a bottom 6 revamp, and a top 6 add. Other than that, I’m fine with the top 6 elements, the defense and the goaltending.

It sucks cause we’re not in a good position right nos, but overall and for the future, I don’t think this team is in trouble. The pieces are there, but surrounding cast needs to be upgraded though. As much as people don’t want to here it, our group is pretty young and barely starting to enter its prime, with more important elements to come (Casey, Nemec, Silayev, Yegorov, Malek, Gritsyuk, Lenni, etc.).

 

[Patrik26]

The sport might not be for you if your take is Jack is a dumb player.

Maybe, maybe not. But we all have differing opinions and I'll stick to mine. Even if it stinks.
