Well this year's version of them has to be even sadder because all I keep hearing is how they're an expansion team!Reminder we lost twice to this team last year. The sadder version of them

When was the last time we heard from another team that we're well coached?
We all know how tough it is to get rid of sand.You can take the team out of Arizona, but you can't take Arizona out of the team.
He's an interesting case study from a development perspective. He was good here but transformed into a diff player in Carolina. Rare at his age.I completely underestimated Noesen’s play making ability. I swear he makes several excellent passes a game that lead to high danger chances or goals. He’s especially effective below the goal line making quick behind the back passes to the front of the net. And of course his grit and net front ability we all know about. Great addition
Sometimes I think that he's late 30s. He has an older look about him. Probably the oldest looking player on the team, which he's not. Markstrom, Allen, Tatar, Dillon and Palat are all older than him. Dougie was born the same year, I can't recall who was born first.He's an interesting case study from a development perspective. He was good here but transformed into a diff player in Carolina.

I memory holed the 18-19 season to the 21-22 season. Anyone remember why Noesen flamed out with us initially? I only remember him being solid for us in 17-18 and solid for Carolina.I completely underestimated Noesen’s play making ability.

The Noesen photo the Devils broadcast has does him dirty. The pic is so bad it makes him look like a chain-smoking 47 year old. The hair loss doesn't help either.Sometimes I think that he's late 30s.

I almost thought he was 30-31 the first time he played here, even though he didn't play many NHL games before he got here. I think I may be getting him confused with Brian Gibbons, who actually was 30 years old when he played here, and didn't have much NHL experience before he got here.
I think we got Noesen as a waiver pickup from....I can't remember if he was with Ottawa or Anaheim? I think it goes he was drafted by Ottawa, but was traded to Anaheim in the Bobby Ryan trade?
Haula is also older than him. For some reason I had Haula a couple of years younger than he actually is.
He got injured (I don't remember what it was) in 18-19 and his play dropped off quite a bit. I think he even missed a significant amount of games that season, and was ineffective when he did play.I memory holed the 18-19 season to the 21-22 season.

Hope you are on the mend. Enjoy the game!I was so glad to see that the Devils stopped the Utah's winning streak. They had a terrific game.
I bought the Devils Streaming package for $297 and then when the 1:00 PM today's game was on, I found myself in the ER from 11:30 AM until 6 PM so I missed the game.
I have a chance tomorrow to watch the Carolina game.

And we get goaltending too for a change when it matters.
Hopefully all is well now. Good to hear you got home after medical treatment.I was so glad to see that the Devils stopped the Utah's winning streak. They had a terrific game.

It’s probably those PhDs in theoretical physics.Team is really buying into what Sheldon is selling.
9 goals allowed in 5 games without sacrificing offense. So far so good.
A win tomorrow against Carolina and it will be close to a perfect start to the season
Ugh. Hopefully it went well and she’s home now? Aging parents are no joke.Ugh. Sorry to hear that.
I spent most of the day with my mom in the ER, but at least I managed to catch the game
Get better.
Na. Keeping her at least overnight. Third time in last couple months. Between her, my 88 y/o Dad and GFs 93 y/o mother, I got my hands full. Simultaneously trying to start a business too, but at least it makes my time flexible. I just find it extremely difficult finding the time to get more than 5-6 hours of sleep a night. I'm getting kinda tired of this.Ugh. Hopefully it went well and she’s home now? Aging parents are no joke.
Definitely not remembering his start to 22/23 correctly. He was visibly rusty to start that year. The stats also back that up.

It can be argued that had had a better start this season than 22/23
Its all semantics. Jack is an incredible player and he will get going as he always has. Way too many posters get on way too many players cases too early every season. I just never understood that.

Does Cotter against Buffalo count?Have we scored on ANY breakaways yet this year?
It wasn't really a breakawayDoes Cotter against Buffalo count?
