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

[Its Always Sundstrom]

Nemec was dead; resurrected somehow
Haula dead too, resurrection failed as it sounds he`s in zombie mode
Palat dead 2 years ago; still in zombie mode

Poetry in slow motion.

I can tell the season is getting close, the Palat bitching is picking up.

I am going to pretend that this Jack Hughes projection did not happen.

He's undead.

Palat to start the season 0 goals in first 15 games

Middle of the season wasn't much better ... December through January 4 goals.

February and March - 27 games = 3 goals. In that period he went without a goal in the 17 games from February 25 to April 3rd.

He's played 120 games for us and hasn't produced 20 goals yet. 13 goal pace per 82. 6m per.



Garbage.

You guys don’t really have any conception of how many goals players score that don’t play much on the PP. You’d be surprised how many “good” players score goals at very similar rates at 5 on 5.

Palat is bueno pero no es “bueno” bueno. Es bueno-ish.

If only that were the only concern. Luke's shoulder. Pesce's fibula. Jack's shoulder (even repaired).

Flesh wounds.

You forgot Dougie's pec. And Nico's...whatever breaks on him this time.

I actually do and I know his goals per 60 5v5 are as high as Hischier's....and I know his GA/60 is very good too...

Means absolutely nothing. At 6m per He's garbage...He's been a non factor for his entire time as Devil...

You just can matrix yourself into believing a shitty player isn't as bad as it looks.

IF, the forwards stay healthy. I think our 3rd line will actually do very very well.

Our issue last season was the injuries and the constant rotations of lines and having ASS bottom 6 depth.


Adding Noesen, Cotter, Tatar and maybe Leblanc will help.

Hope you got used to it, that seemed to be something Toronto fans said Keefe will do

It's easier to just pretend things are the way you think they are then use logic

Did she hatch before or after your wife?
