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

[JimEIV]

Hattakka-Nemec might be the best pairing of all-time.

That's audition pairings.... Hatakka and Kovacevic auditions, paired with a regular.

I needed a shortened version of Kovacevic... don't have a problem with with Siegenthaler but Kovacevic seems like a chore to spell out

 

[None Shall Pass]

As a reminder, all lines being used in the first 10 minutes of training camp are subject to change.

 

[JimEIV]

Too many i's before e's except after c's

 

[Better Call Sal]

Did we really just get a report of the coach blowing the whistle for the first time? Amanda hasn't reported a thing about Mercer in months but that whistle...

She works for the team. She reported the same thing as everyone yesterday, he isn’t here yet but the two sides are talking.

 

[Devs3cups]

 

[Devils731]

Really not much for her to report on with Mercer

That and she’s not a beat reporter looking to inform the public, she’s a team reporter whose job is to generate interest and positive interaction with the Devils.

Her reporting on a contract situation would just be team propaganda anyway so I don’t see why we would even care about her doing that.

And that the brand new coach will likely be more willing than ever to mix and match until he finds the combos that he feels are best.

All we get is team propaganda....his agent ain't giving his side of the story now or after the contract.

That's exactly what I meant! It's not her job to chase the story on how negotiations are going, what obstacles there are in the process, etc. When news breaks then she'll report on it.

I got a new pair of smartwool knee high socks...just put them on for the first time... they're pretty comfortable and keeping my feet warm...but I like Darn Tough much more. The Darn Tough almost feel padded the smartwool are on the thin side..

Just a helpful review if you need wool socks

 

[Devs3cups]

 

[Cheddabombs]

I do think we'll like him.

But I also remember last year James tweeting something like "If this is the Bahl the Devils are getting then they won't miss Graves too much" and then Bahl was not very good

25 is strange looking on a goalie.

They yanked Bahl even more than than they did Dawson last year....no way was Bahl ready for the load they were asking of him. It was a joke.

Im sure Cam Janssen is a fine goalie in the beer league these days

Troy Crowder is the rightful heir to the #25 tough guy.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Imagine Kovy with Jack

 

[JimEIV]

Imagine Kovy with Jack

Terror for goalies... both theirs and the opposition.

 

[None Shall Pass]

Imagine Kovy with Jack

I could play on their wing and pick up like 55 points by osmosis

 

[Patrik26]

Showing Nico how it's done.

When they are overwhelming opponents, they’re putting them in the meat spin.

It looks strange no matter.
