Post-Game Talk: Devils' team humiliation in Tampa

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

I wonder what type of hockey deals are out there for Marcus Johansson.

Rental for rental swap?

Ship him to the Sens + 1st round pick for either Duchene or Stone.

or to Toronto + 1st round pick for either Kadri or Nylander.

Rooney is a brief 8 minute per game call up filler. Comparing him with Zacha speaks worse of Zacha than Rooney.

MoJo is playing the worst that he ever has in his entire career, and he still have 2 more points and 6 more SOG than Zacha in 1 less game.

I compared MoJo with Rooney, not Zacha. Scratching Zacha makes no sense when he is playing well defensively and skating. MoJo looks lazy as f***.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Nico saying what we know. They stopped playing.

 

[MauDevils]

Another game without any shots for Zacha.

This is why I officially gave up hope. People still have hope because of his passing, but he doesn't put himself in a position to score goals or get chances. He's allergic to the front of the net and plays the game like he's 5'8.

3 shots in his last 6 games... just not good enough.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I'd send Zacha down to Binghamton honestly. I'd call up Seney.

He would be claimed in a heart beat. Would be one of the dumbest moves in Shero’s Tenure here.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

I'd send Zacha down to Binghamton honestly. I'd call up Seney.

You realize he'd have to pass through waivers, right?

And don't say he'd clear.

 

[MadDevil]

I think Zacha is going to be more of a setup guy than a scorer at this level. Which is why playing him with MoJo, who is also more of a setup guy, doesn't work. They both need somebody who can finish.

 

[Quest for Stanley]

I'd send Zacha down to Binghamton honestly. I'd call up Seney.

Zacha needs a wake up. Seney is hungry big time!

Reporter: Nico, would it be fair to say you guys let your emotions get the best of you tonight?

Nico: What does that mean?

Kid's still learning the English language, stop lobbing idiomatic expressions at him.

Next go with, Hey Nico, you didnt score tonight, is that just the way the cookie crumbles? Nico: What the ****?

 

[Maine Fan]

Does anyone feel like me? I feel like I wasted an evening. These players we all want to get rid of, there is no one to replace them with. We are stuck in a black hole. The Devils took a risk in the off season not getting what we needed and went with last seasons team and got burned. This rebuild will take much longer than expected.

 

[New Jersey]

what does it say about our former glories and how traumatized we are by our five years in the wilderness for me to be more disgusted than after *any* loss all of last season INCLUDING the series against tampa?

we’re supposed to have turned a corner here. i get our record is still technically ok but we’ve lost four of five including that utter f***ing embarrassment and our second most hated rival?

not good enough.

figure it the f*** out.

 

[JimEIV]

Not unless you also scratch one or both of them (NoJo, Zacha) to send a message a la what they did with Severson at multiple points.

I don't think you can scratch both of them at the same time but one and the other to the 4th line seems like a possibility.

Absurd take. Maybe worst of the night.

lol that might have been Abbey...I've never heard her talk before but that's a female reporter who wasn't Amanda so it's a decent chance it was her.

 

[mtnet]

If they come out flat and roll over to Detroit we've really got a problem

Eeked out only one win in the past five

Yeah it's too early to really say it's a must-win but it's definitely a must-compete and given it's Detroit a win is pretty important too.

With 2:42 in PP during that.

FUN FACT: If Zacha was a 5th round draft pick, all the Zacha apologists and fanboys would be screaming to send him down to Binghamton.

Absurd take. Maybe worst of the night.

Which is a hell of a feat considering the suggestion of waiving Zacha also happened.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Zacha’s passiveness is infuriating. The skill is there but the kid seems to have zero killer instinct.

 

[NJDevs26]

Except if he was a fifth round pick it'd be far more likely he actually clear waivers to get down to Binghamton.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Hynes seems to have went the disappointed father route tonight.

 

[Quest for Stanley]

You realize he'd have to pass through waivers, right?

And don't say he'd clear.

Zacha can be sent to Bingo without going through waivers

Nope, but I'd be satisfied with him taking a regular 4th line shift and killing penalties.

Actually I would be claiming it was one of the best pick we have made since he's still top 15 in scoring and top 11 in games played from a very good, maybe even excellent 2015 draft
