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

[Ripshot 43]

They're pretty good in NYC

I should’ve said “area” but I hate combining NJ with NY and Philly

 

[JimEIV]

I am still with you, meaning alive, I hope I can stay that way for this season with the Devils.

I am still excited about our playoff hopes. Here is a positive I enjoyed reading so I thought I would share. I hope your summer went well.

Stay strong brother!!!

Pizza pizza pizza…

… nobody talks about how outside of NJ you can’t find a comparable cannolis or zeppoli!

That's another thing I haven't had in ages, zeppoli. I used stop at Pizza Town on rt 46 all the time for zeppoli. The entire driver's seat in my jeep was usually covered in powered sugar....I always worried that if I got pulled over an officer would think he got Tony Montana.

I'm with you on Dougie. I do want to see Timo on PP1 though, as well. Not sure what the best deployment would be overall, but I would like to see Dougie back there. I'm sure Luke learned quite a bit last year manning it for the majority of the season, but he doesn't provide that unique weapon (yet) that Dougie does being back there. Not only does he shoot well from the point, he shoots hard and on target.

...unless, Luke has developed his shot this offseason, which I think he really needed to. He has a nasty wrist shot but getting shots off from the point was definitely something he needed to improve on

I just remember that white bag would be practically see through.

I barely know what a Cannoli is and A Zeppoli has to be made up, Unless Lead Zeppelin had a food named after them.

Had some at the San Gennaro feast last year.

Hmm... Wow... It's almost exactly a year. San Gennaro starts tomorrow. Yum!

Zeppoli is similar to the dough of a donut but more airy. It’s fried into ball type shapes and covered in powdered sugar. Definitely a NJ childhood memory for me.

Do you know what funnel cake is?

 

[Xirik]

Do you know what funnel cake is?

Its something I heard in movies but never actually saw what it was. Also that it's sold at lot of county fair's

 

[njdevils1982]

Do you know what funnel cake is?

or a beaver tail?

Easy easy. This is a family friendly site.

Aren’t Timbits just donut holes?

Jim's pizza in the pandemic (sounds like a band name) story sounds like me and ramen. I tried about every one I could find for about 6 months there. Mainly because it was cheap and easy and I'd rather just stress eat than stress cook lol

It's why I've become addicted to Buldak ramen. That stuff is delicious if you add some kewpie mayo and kimchi (another pandemic inspired addiction).

 

[Bad Goalie]

So, rookies are in camp and unlike several other NHL franchises (e.g. Boston and Washington), the Devils have not released a roster.

Come on, how hard is this?

 

[Cheddabombs]

Easy easy. This is a family friendly site.

Donut holes are just Timbits. Timbits just sound so much better.

I am not very patriotic by any means but I draw the line here

Can we get back to hockey in this thread and take the food talk to the Thread about Nothing? That's kinda why that thread exists...

We had a place in Buffalo when I was in college called Zonies. They was only open 8pm-4am on Thurs/Fri/Sat, only did delivery, and only made calzones. They definitely knew their audience.

You haven't lived until you've come home from a college bar hammered on $3 shots of well liquor (bars in Buffalo close at 4 am if you didn't know), and buried your face into a hot, fresh, cheesey calzone. PREMIUM drunk food, absolutely elite college experience.

The normal serving size was a half a pound, but you could "pound it" for $1 and get a double portion. I would always get the chicken parm calzone, pounded, with extra ricotta and a double side of sauce.

They had a breakfast calzone with scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese, and maple syrup on the side. They had desert calzones with cheesecake and various fruits. You could get anything in a calzone - cheeseburger, baked potato, enchilada, philly cheesesteak, fettucine alfredo, rueben, pesto. Anything you could ask for.

It's closed now but I ate a pounder almost every Saturday/Sunday my senior year. The only problem was staying awake and not falling asleep while waiting for delivery.

DP Dough was our equivalent in Ithaca (and probably for several other college towns, it's a chain). I don't think I've ever had it sober, but damn was it clutch when we were all drunk at 2 am.

That's nice. Do you know who is on their roster??? I'm sure I know some, but who are the rest?
NJ needs to post a simple roster so I can put it in my annual NJ/Utica notebook for 2024-25.

Does Buffalo try to sell tickets to these? Monday 10am is kinda extreme.

Not that its bad they have expanded to 6 teams. Its good to get that much players in one place.
