Devils team discussion (news, notes and speculation) - 2023 training camp edition

Are we still talking Tatar? Some clown shit we discussed last season about this dude. Good riddance.

I’m keeping my mouth shut about Hamilton until the first GDT.

I wouldn't want to have to look at Brind'amour for a full season.

Dude always looks like he just sucked on a lemon.

He looks like a Ren and Stimpy character.

 

[bossram]

lol How bad was his eye sight that he was able to play without them in the past?

How good will he be now that he can actually see???

Definitely agree on top cheese/top cheddar. Who the hell keeps cheese on the top shelf? Even if it’s on the top shelf of your fridge, everyone can reach it, unless it’s a little kid. The fridge isn’t that high. It would make more sense to say top freezer where the ice cream is or some shit.

The cookies one doesn’t bother me much, as I’m sure many people keep their cookies up in a high cabinet.

The guy that replaced Peter McNab on Avalanche color commentary is the worst with these. Every time someone scored top shelf, he tries to come up with something different that mana hides in the top shelf. And many times he’ll say something that makes no sense at all, probably because he couldn’t think up something to say in time that makes sense.

One time last year in LA he said something like “Top shelf! Where mama hides the……. What do they hide in LA? Hairspray!”. He kind of missed an opportunity to make a Hollywood sign reference about the top shelf, but I wouldn’t have thought about it in the moment either.

Another time he said “Top shelf! Where mama hides 3 Logan O’Connor’s!”.

What the f*** man? How did she hide 3 Logan O’Connor’s? Did she clone him and kill them all? Are these Logan O’Connor bobble heads or something?

Like I said, he’s so cringy and just not quick whitted enough (neither am I, most people aren’t) to even think of something clever when he makes that call, so he should just stop making it.

Are you living in the dark ages? My freezer is on the bottom with French doors up top for the frig. Think I saw an old Price is Right episode from the early 70's with the freezer on the bottom but only one frig door up top.

Mine is still on the bottom. And I just got a new fridge last year, so it’s not an old one.

My friend has a really fancy one where the freezer is on the right side and the fridge is on the left side. Or maybe it’s the other way around.

I prefer single door on top. The French doors don't really close on their own, and I'm in the habit of swinging the door closed while turning and walking away

Every time someone says top cheese or top cheddar I want to blow my brains out. Dumbest f***ing expression in sports.

idiocy... add clapper to the list.

Clapper? Flesh?

There's a dictionary entry.

I'm not sure I like the way this conversation's going.

Say what you want about Brendan Smith, he def. comes across as one of the key locker room vets and a smart guy

It's certainly not a gouda expression but our swiss players and the two americans sure are marking some cheddar this year.

This post is goat. I enjoyed it while sitting back in my cottage while enjoying the thought that our team is the cream of the crop

Stop edging me. I need to see him now.

Too bad his smarts haven't translated well onto the ice.

He always comes off as a very smart guy. I have a feeling that his intelligence allowed him to be an NHL player and without that high level, he wouldn’t have made it to this level at all.

 

[Billdo]

For what he is, he isn't bad minus the penalties but I'd rather not HAVE to play the guy. He does have value though internally I'd imagine and he's a physical guy which this team doesn't really have.

 

[Devils731]

If you were worried it was a serious injury.
