Devils Team Discussion (team/player news and notes) ‎2015 offseason IX

[NHL Fanatik*]

EAs sim of NHL16 has us finishing dead last with Schneider being hurt and Kinkaid taking over and winning the Calder.

How does he win the Calder if we finish dead last?

Sounds like a child came up with this scenario

Link?

Did they run the draft lottery simulator too?

Our luck wed lose all 3 and fall to 4th.

Don't know if this has been posted at all but the two Ranger preseason games and the game at the Barclays center will be broadcasted on MSG. No word about picking up visiting broadcasts for any of the other preseason games.

The team put out a PDF of the broadcast schedule. The only game not on one of the MSG channels is the Jan 10th game vs Minnesota.

Really disappointing to see that the season opener is on MSG Plus 2, since that is not in HD on FiOS.

Is that channel available in HD for other providers?

Does anyone know what the difference is between MSG & MSG 2? Those are two separate channels on FiOS and both available in HD, yet as far as I can tell they show the exact same thing all the time. Wouldn't it be possible to show games on MSG 2 instead?

Boucher concussion per shero

His first?

 

[NJDevs26]

We don't know since medical records are still under lock and key from before this year. This is probably the first acknowledged concussion in the history of the franchise (only being semi-flip)

 

[R8Devs]

MSG+2 is HD on xfinity

 

[njdevsfn95]

And MSG2 is not in HD.

****ing stupid.

All of the MSG networks are available in HD on Directv.

Point taken about not really knowing with the organizaton up until this point, though I don't recall anything during his professional tenure that could have possibly been a head injury. I was more wondering about juniors, though.

He had ok numbers aside from w-l compared to other rookies? I don't know, take it with a grain of salt and lighten up lol.

My mistake it was TSN doing the sim, not EA. Here's the link...

3 preseason games being televized. 2 vs Rangers and 1vs. Islanders. As per TG.

I have Cablevision, I get every game in HD regardless of the channel.

 

[glenwo2]

I don't understand why some here are so upset with MSG2 not being in HD.

I'm just glad I'm able to see the game at all. I could care less if it's in Standard Definition.

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

Bad luck with the timing of Boucher's injury. I feel sorry for him.

 

[Sascha Goc]

Just my opinion , but in 2015 I don't think anyone should be watching professional sports in SD especially if they pay a lot of money for a cable subscription plus additional channels to watch the games.

how much do you pay a month for tv?

that's why. there's just not much of a valid reason to televise local pro sports in SD any longer - not with the amount of money being thrown around to cover the games and the technology infrastructure in place. 10 years ago sure - maybe even 5 but not now.

 

[Maine Fan]

Is Boucher's concussion for real? It's not a Lou Status Quo upper body day to day ?

obviously sucks for Bouch but its refreshing to hear isn't it?

 

[Emperoreddy]

That really sucks for him, but potentially an opportunity for someone else.

 

[MartyOwns]

His first?

ah man that didn't even occur to me, he's so young. I really hope it's the first and last.

does anyone know if blandisi stinks? if he doesn't, he could force himself into the lineup real quick, and potentially get a regular gig for the rest of the year.

I like this group, because there's a REAL sense of competition- not a bunch of vets who know they're guaranteed spots every night. it's going to be a really fun camp/preseason to watch

 

[MichaelJ]

Just tossing it out there...Shero was in on trading for Saad; trade for Huberdeau?

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

That's true. This could be a good opportunity for someone else to have a shot at making the team.

Where did he say he was in on Saad, must have missed that one. I could see him inquiring about Hubs, but at asking price would probably be through the roof. Can't imagine he gets dealt, much less to us, but it's definitely an interesting situation over there.

TG reported it right after Saad went to CLB. Shero said that he had been talking to the Hawks and Saad's agent.
