Devils team discussion (news, notes and speculation) - part VI

[Emperoreddy]

That's way too expensive. They are drunk

 

[Devs3cups]

Kinda glad Timo isn't making his debut tonight. Working late so I'm going to miss the game

Your new avatar is NICE man! Well played!

 

[Saugus]

Nope, not since Dolan banned alcohol sales at games out of spite, they're not.

What a clownshow organization MSG is.

 

[Better Call Sal]

This would have been appealing to me, someone who solely has Fubo for the Devils games which roughly costs $90 a month with the sports package, but if you take that $30 monthly payment onto a $60-$65 monthly streaming service like YoutubeTV, the cost is negligible.

 

[Devils731]

My brother pointed out Bally’s was charging $25 bucks a month for streaming access to all their RSNs, about 42 teams.

Nobody signed up because, imo, that’s too high a monthly number.

 

[OmNomNom]

$30 a month or $10 a game?

Damn that is steep, when you consider most fans only care about 1 of the teams on the network...maybe 2 for some Knicks/Rangers fans.

I appreciate the option to some degree, but I hope this flops like CNN+.

Seems a lot cheaper to just get VPN and ESPN+.

are they stupid? in this economy where prices are getting slashed, they think this is the move?

Posted that in the Meier trade, but really I think it fits here. Since we now have four Swiss players, all "German" speaking, I thought we could all use some new colorful words to insult our players when they play like shit or adversaries if they happen to be the Rangers.

Swiss German Lesson n.1 (taken from this video if you want a pronunciation guide, but basically the more colorful the best


Lumpehung : A man who is cheating and hardly fair.
Loeu : A man doing unessential and brainless things.
Mufti : A heavy and extremely boring man.
Moeff : This is an unexciting man, boring and definitely stupid.
Traeu (roll the "r" as strongly as you can) : a monotonous, heavy man who is good for nothing.
Schlufi : A sleepy, unawake fellow.
Suechu (ch sound is so abrasive it can clean your kitchen) : A young boy doing funny things and good for nothing.
Pfuschi : A man who never makes anything perfect, always fast and imprecise (also known as a Wood)
Chnuschti ("ch" like in Suechu but with acid added): A heavy, tiresome, motionless and dispensable, useless man.
Schnuderi ("r" sound can be confused with an AK-47): A young boy who does never follow.
Tubu (like two small explosions): A notorious uninteresting, uneducated fellow.
Schwauderi: makes everything fast and imprecise (another Wood).
Gigu: A gigu is a d*ck, in fact uncooperative, selfish, and tiresome man.
Chotzbroche (if some of the previous ones are used to clean the kitchen, the sound of this one has been used for demolition): A piece of puke, unsympathetic and uninteresting. Also known as a Rangers.

I didn't not include the two for boring pale women because I don't think it's that useful during a hockey game unless if talking about a certain broadcast.

Are we sure the "Loeu" one shouldn't actually be spelled Lou?

He certainly did a lot of "unessential and brainless things" at the end of his tenure as GM.

A small update on Zet and Johnsson from last nights game.
They both started on a line with Hertl and were a bit reserved. Zet did have one significant hit, dropping a bigger guy in the offensive zone. By the end of the game, they were more aggressive. No points, we only scored one but from my view, Johnsson looks to be an NHL level player.
Cheers.

 

[Oneiro]

I'm still blown away by how few people use "other" ways to stream/watch things. It's easier than ever too...

Miles Wood, is that you, you Moeff?

Wood is many things, but I don't know if boring is the right adjective to describe him.

 

[glenwo2]

Yeah....I agree. But he is definitely stupid (on the ice).

Johnsson's always looked pretty good playing with 2 good players. Hertl and Zetterlund would be a good fit for him.

Mango?? How did that arise?

 

[Hisch13r]

Off the top of my head we have the 3rd best big 4 up front right? I'd have Toronto ahead. Then I guess the Oilers as well because McDavid is comically good and Hyman's been out of his mind on top of that to give them another great guy on top of McDrai. RNH also having a career year

You don't want to know.

Don't use it.

You don't want to know.

Don't use it.

I’m so advised.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Mango?? How did that arise?

Apparently it's a big secret. He had the name in high school, everyone in Toronto called him that.

There are a lot of rumors that it's based on some kind of slur, which isn't cool, but no one has really been able to say for certain if that's true or some kind of fan mythology.

Leafs feel Johnsson breaking out at the perfect time - TSN.ca

The Maple Leafs winger had a very slow start to his season, but a recent offensive surge has him back on track to fulfilling his potential, Kristen Shilton writes.

Avs is very good with Mackinnon, Rantanen, Landeskog and Nichushkin. Tampa too with Kucherov, Stamkos, Point and Cirelli.

 

[Hisch13r]

Agreed. I just think ours might be better. Avs is probably close and theirs could definitely be better. I'm taking us over TB because Cirelli is a big weak link here. If we're talking big 3 then yeah I'd take them.

 

[OmNomNom]

Mango?? How did that arise?

rumor is his nickname in sweden was mongo (idiot in swedish?), but obviously that didn't carry over to the US - it changed to mango when he came here

but kapanen said he'd take the secret to the grave so who knows the truth
