Devils team discussion (news, notes and speculation) - season begins!

By god, it's almost as good as Larsson, Gelinas, Merrill and Urbom!

That was mean, man. There were some of us (fools) that were sure that was going to be our next great backend.

I was a Great Santini believer.

The Urbom enthusiasm was always funny. Dude was a grenade handler every single call-up, which was the real meaning behind Urbomb Squad.

I always liked Lars and Merrill, but we just needed someone exactly like the three kids we have now who are all insanely talented, poised and smart. It feels like they Wukong-ed aspects of Niedermayer into Luke, Nemec and Casey.

It’s early and probably a bit over reactionary but two major concerns right now.

-Jack Hughes sucking and always going through fairly longish phases of sucking that are ignored because he still puts up some points.

-No bottom 6 speed. Cotter and Lazar have speed. Every single other depth forward we have is undoubtedly slow and it sucks. Bastian is probably the next fastest and that’s not good. And then the second someone’s injured we bring in Kurtis MacDermid who is slower than all of them. Who’s after that? The barely faster Nolan Foote. Talked about it in the summer but we’ve sacrificed wayy to much speed in our forward group.

Otherwise. Goaltending is better and defence should sort itself out (although less defensive laziness from the forwards would help).

Awesome. I was all about all of them. And lars and Merrill carved out nice careers. Gelibombs? Sign me up. I'm pretty of the Urbomsquad

it’s obvious team is only going to go as far as Paul Cotter can carry them.

lol I mean if he gets hurt we’ll have by far the slowest bottom 6 in the league. If we don’t already

Ahem, I hear Jesper Boqvists music in South Florida playing. He's the fastest bottom 6 player you can ask for.

Still annoyed they let him go

 

[NjDevsRR]

Hopefully the team has a good showing on Saturday because they have an early gm Monday then right back at it on Tuesday. Not much practice time.

Nemec had a very bad game tonight, wonder if his shoulder is still bothering him.
