And people here think we should keep Mercer and not trade him for an NHL caliber goalie

You just really love arguing with yourself, huh? Everyone here has consistently said they'd trade Mercer in a Saros trade for the most part lol

Yes.
Goalie would not save low level play team.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Close period

 

[Mgd31]

No execution

 

[Forge]

This feels correct

 

[Emperoreddy]

That's what happens when you trade people away that care, there should be a balance between skill and giving a shit.

This was happening long before the trade deadline

 

[TrufleShufle]

Yea.... I wasn't talking about Toffoli lol.

 

[NJ07102]

Sounds pretty bad, thankfully I can’t watch

You're really lucky

 

[mdj12784]

We have a good core with Hughes x2, Dougie, Nico, Bratt, Timo, Nemec, Mercer (to a lesser extent), but there's a lot of work to be done to round out the roster in the bottom.

I fear we overrate them. Blast me if you wish.

Zetterlund and Rango's "caring" are what's causing this this season.

Might keep it close ... lol

 

[Emperoreddy]

If you can trick a GM into sending a high end player to NJ for Mercer you do it.

Buckcherry, Seether and the 2000s cock rock groups were always bands that were completely interchangeable.

Like a majority of the 80s hair bands.

Agree on Buckcherry. They were awful.

Respectfully disagree on Seether. One of my fave bands.

You're 100 percent right. They totally destroyed the chemistry.

There are a 100 reasons this season sucks, pointing to one doesn't negate the rest. Unless it does, you tell me the one change this team can make to get them the cup.

I think they're rated fine. People are in doomer mode and it's fine, but that's a good group of players. There needs to be work done on the bottom 2 lines and bottom D pairings.

I was under the impression that Seether at their height were more popular than Buckcherry were? But I know next to nothing about radio rock of the last 30 years and literally nothing about radio rock music of the last 20 years.

Maybe that's Shinedown? I get both those bands confused for some reason. Both start with an S, both sound semi-similar (I think?) and were both big around the same time.

Also FWIW, they got pasted in that Dallas game too, they're just lucky Oettinger is the 2nd worst starter this year in the league besides Vanecek.

 

[HoliksGhost]

unbelievable that no one can pull up their bootstraps and right the ship… not even one shift ?

I like BloodRock

They have no pride as professionals. At minimum get up and do your job. We’re not even there right now. A lot of issues were / are coach related and maybe a totally fresh voice gets that but these dudes need to look themselves in the mirror this offseason.

 

[Bleedred]

Oettinger is elite tho? How can this be?

But back to the Devils.....How about dat Travis Green tho?

 

[CalamityX23]

Wtf 3 -0???

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Bringing it every time they're down or lost a game is painfully annoying. This team shouldn't be missing role players that bad against shit bag teams all year around. This is also, once again, proof to the people who cried goaltender all year that coaching > goaltender for this team's future.

It was obvious they didn’t play better in that game than usual. People just can’t get passed the bias of the final score.
