Devils team discussion (news, notes and speculation) - camp edition
- Thread starter NJDevs26
- Start date
The lack of pop and explosiveness is both of their biggest weaknesses
I'd give Misyul the first crack at the left D spot behind Hatakka. I have to presume that Nemec was just ramping up after recovering from that shoulder injury in the Olympic qualifier. He certainly looked like he wasn't that into the game. He's a smarter player than letting an opponent sit absolutely wide open next to the goalie and why isn't Daws yelling at Nemec to cover that guy? Just a bad play all around. Casey had a better game than Nemec and Kovacevic.

He rents cars and pays for them to do the refilling? And he's the head coach?

I’m all for Casey getting a shot but I highly doubt Nemec won’t start with the team. He’s very good and he was very good last year.
Also, it was his first preseason game coming back from injury. Might need some time to get back to his normal beat. That’s not unheard of or abnormal. Seems like a hasty conclusion to make after 1 preseason game, in which he wasn’t even bad in my opinion. He had a solid game except for the mistake on the goal. I’d like to think Nemec’s body of work last season would hold more weight in how we perceive the player.

I remember the Leafs paid for him to have a driver, that one of their analysts convinced the management it was worth the extra money so he could use that time productively instead of driving.

This guy rules.
That's right, that was a part of the Amazon series wasn't it?
I just rewatched the series a couple of days ago and don’t remember it being in there.

Maybe I'm misremembering it, but that point @Triumph made certainly rang a bell. Maybe it was something else that I had watched on Keefe.

So do people, who haven't worked at a gas station, know how to pump their own gas? Or would you be lost in a place didn't have gas station attendants? I'm so intrigued
No clue what’s going on back there and don’t care to know

I travel enough that I know what I'm doing, but I can assure you there are plenty of people out there who don't.

I mean...what's the worst that could happen?

I would guess more than half of NJ drivers know how to pump gas because they’ve traveled out of state before.
If they haven’t traveled out of state then they have no need to know.
NJ isn’t going to apologize for pampering ourselves. (although if a station is busy, I do wish I could just hop out and pump)
If you’ve ever traveled and rented a car you’ve almost certainly pumped your own gas unless you wanted to pay the extortion rate the rental company charges to refill your gas.

You're in for a shock. Sometimes if you don't have your magic beans with you the little gas pump troll will ask you to solve a riddle before you can continue.
