The Italian Seafood Loss-O-Meter is going off track this week. Jets, Knicks, Devils, this thing is going to blow a tube.
I don't remember the Jets-Yanks and Devils all collectively being this shitty at one time. This is just terrrible.
How is DeBoer still the coach of this team? What's a guy gotta do to get fired around here?
Also, Marty signed with the Blues today. Good for him. I really hope this isn't a move where he only plays two or three games in another jersey and then is put on waivers when Elliot comes back, but we'll see. I'd like to see him get 700 and I'm happy he's on a team that's a contender.

Yeah. I'm glad he's in the west and hope he gets to do what he wants, he's earned that much. I had that one called all year, as soon as someone lost a goalie they'd be calling Marty.
Now we just have to win a game, which requires scoring a goal. Two shootouts in one season might be asking a bit much.

Love Patty. You hit the nail on the head MB, underrated player and he always exuded class. One of my favorite hockey memories is him hoisting the cup with Sykora's jersey on (that TAS line!!!! Great memories.) because Petr was in the hospital.
A rough year for sure, but I do have faith in Shero. He's done a good job acquiring assets, (as much as I love Lou, the shape he left the franchise in was woeful) and I'm definitely hopeful they can spin a pick and get good value on a player that a team is worried about losing in the expansion draft. And back up the money truck for Shatty. There's no reason why we shouldn't have the most cash on the table.

The A line was probably the greatest in team history. We're known for defense and the trap, but those 2000-01 teams had a lot of offense, led by that line and Mogilny on the second line.

Slightly surprised to see the Devils trade Zajac and Palmieri to the Isles, makes a bunch of sense for both teams on paper but it's presumably going to kill Devils fans if Zajac finally wins a cup and it's with the Isles.
I'm just happy Fitz was able to get a first, negligible as it may be. Teams are going to be looking to get compensated for players they might otherwise lose in the upcoming expansion draft, so its a chip.
Wish the best for Palms and Zajac and I'm especially glad Travis is going to be playing some meaningful hockey-but he's gotta be the most non-accomplished long term player the franchise ever had.

I keep forgetting about the expansion draft, it makes sense that trading a 35 year old for a good pick is an even smarter move with that coming up. The expansion draft is pretty much meaningless to us given we've got such a young team we're going to struggle to have enough players to actually expose, and probably happy to see the back of whoever it is that goes.

Hopefully Blackwoods injury doesn't keep him out for an extended period. Vanny stood on his head especially considering how he came in cold to fill in. I know Bernier's been practicing with the team, but Blackwood's the present/future.
The bottom lines have been fantastic. They most encouraging thing about this win streak is they're doing this with Jack looking somewhat flat and Shango doing absolutely nothing. Only a matter of time before those two (especially Hughes) kick it into gear.

If the Devils had a goalie, they could be Cup contenders this year.
If the Jets had a QB, they could be SB contenders this year.
Jets are banking on Zach Wilson's development speeding up this season. Devils were banking on a Blackwood bounceback with Vanacek. If Blackwood is hurt, I wonder if they look to make a trade at some point, especially if Vanacek is inconsistent.

The Devils remind me a lot of the Jets. Two young teams on long playoff droughts that finally are starting to turn it around with promising young cores.

Vanacek has actually played really well, but that's in a limited sample size. I would think if Bernier can actually play (I thought he was done done?!), that they're going to trot him out there initially as a backup, and any impulse to deal for a goalie is also going to depend on how long Blackwood is actually out for.

That's fair about Vanacek. I held the Red Wings game against him more than I should. He will get an extended chance to take that job now. However, I'm not sold on him being a guy you really want as your No. 1 goalie in the playoffs. And it's so hard to trust Blackwood at this point, even if he gets healthy.
The Devils might be the best 5-on-5 team in the NHL so far. If that continues for a few more months, they need to make sure we have quality goaltending.

Agreed with all of this.
7 in a row, makes me wonder if Johnny Hockey's regretting his decision. That might be a dodged bullet considering what this team is going to have to pay Bratt. Can't lose him under any circumstances.
Apparently Bernier reinjured himself, so at the very least if Blackwood is out 4-6 weeks, it might behoove Fitz to give the Sens a call on Cam Talbott a call for a mutually beneficial albeit temporary pairing.

There is absolutely zero chance we're taking a call about Talbot, he's our #1 and we are supposedly trying to be competitive this year.
I thought Anton Forsberg was your #1?
If that's the case, then agreed, its entirely too early for Ottawa to make that kind of deal, even with their slow start. Lot of new bodies in that dressing room, 12 games doesn't define a season good or bad.

We got shellacked in the second and were lucky to get a loser point. We have a lot of talent on offense, but we're dreadful in our own zone - we don't clear effectively, our zone exits are often terrible (qv twice in the third period when we had a defenseman behind the net with the puck waiting for the forwards to create space and passing lanes and both times ended up giving the puck directly to a Devil), and our transition game is to put it politely a bit seat of the pants.
For the fourth time in four seasons we're having a dreadful start to the season and playing ourselves out of contention before the Christmas trees have gone up. This is 100% on coaching and I'm not watching this team any more until DJ Smith is fired.

I wouldn't go higher than a first and prospect of the ilk of a Shakir Mukhamadullin. I hope that Palat comes back and is healthy, but there's something to be said about adding playoff experience to a room that has almost none of it.

In fairness, Toews was the captain.
As much as we're in fundamental agreement on how the Blackhawks as an organization failed Kyle Beach and deserve to lose forever because of it, (and I have absolutely zero issue if people like Quenneville and Bowman never worked in hockey again), I think the list of people who failed in that scenario is super long before we get to Kane.

You're right, he had an A. But I don't think that massively changes the fact that not only did the team know, they mocked and chirped Beach about it while the veteran leaders on the team like Kane stood by and said nothing (or worse, joined in) because winning hockey games was more important to them.
Others hold a higher degree of culpability but I wouldn't want spineless turds like Kane anywhere near any team I cheer for.

I'd prefer not root for Kane, but the idea of adding someone with Stanley Cup experience is appealing. I wouldn't be in a rush to make a trade though. Plenty of time before the deadline. But this team is good enough to win a Cup, so I'm all for trying to add to this roster at the deadline.
Plus, Luke Hughes potentially come playoff time.
Agreed. Absolutely no rush, especially since Palat will be coming back hopefully in mid-February and will be able to provide the postseason know-how that the team just doesn't have right now.
But if all it's going to cost is a first and a B-level prospect, I'm all about it as much as I don't like the character of the player. This team has two of the best defensive prospects (Hughes is probably the best) in the game, and youth all throughout the system with guys like Stillman, Foote, Walsh, etc. The perception of the franchise as a wasteland ever since Zach and Kovy left can change right now. Plus it shows Bratt they're willing to do whatever it takes and he should sign already.
Post by: mj2sexay on January 07, 2023, 03:02:00 PM
I know I apologized to Lindy, but he needs to freaking stop putting Haula on Jack's line. Having him out there as the extra man a couple days ago was freaking absurd. He's a third line center. He's a decent third line center. Stop trying to smash a square peg in a round hole.
I can't wait to see what this team looks like next year with Luke and Nemec.

What a fuckin dub. Great game from Mercer.Last I checked they were down 3-1. Then I saw the final.
Vitek played well, two of those goals aren't on him.

As much as Lindy has become somewhat teflon because of their record, I still maintain that putting Haula on the top line is smashing a square peg in a round hole.
Fitzy can't get gun shy at the deadine, this team needs a top 6 winger.

That's going to be the price even if he's a strict rental. Too many buyers, not enough sellers, especially if Patty Kane is resolved to finish the year in Chicago.

I absolutely love Rico.
Unless they plan on bouncing him to the wing, he makes no sense. As it stands, they need to stop forcing Haula on the top 6.
Timo Meier makes a ton of sense, but like anything else, its relative to cost. Especially since he'll likely be a rental.
Hell of a stretch from Hamilton. Great to see them steal a W considering they were thoroughly outplayed for two periods last night.

Can't blame Blackwood (who actually played relatively well) when the D is giving away breakaways at an insane pace. Severson and Graves specifically looked like excrement tonight.

Acknowledging the fact that the Blue Jackets have been horrible this year, as their record reflects.
They're coming off of a big win.
They played very well on the backcheck last night and especially in their own zone getting in front of shots.
Devils are without their best player and a guy that if not for McDavid putting up a hundred zillion points this year, would be getting more buzz for the Hart.
Here's hoping Jack can play tomorrow night, but I honestly don't expect him back until Sunday at the earliest, and even that might be optimistic.

Vanecek needed that shutout.
They need to figure out ways to spell him more often as we come down the stretch. It was fairly obvious he was going to hit a wall given his workload.
Schmid has been lights out. Blackwood should be back. They have options to give him the rest necessary to keep him fresh for the playoffs.
Sunday was encouraging on multiple fronts. Jack had his best game since coming back off injury, Bratter looked better than he has in weeks and they were more physical then the Canes which was my biggest concern for this team.
LFG tonight. Tampa's looking to right their ship after a bit of a swoon over the last month.
Post by: mj2sexay on March 22, 2023, 06:15:17 PM
I'm sorry but this "they're not going to call a penalty that late in overtime" excrement is freaking nonsense. So now people have cart blanche? Meier blatantly gets interfered with and Jack gets hooked. And it still took a ridiculously lucky bounce right on Boldy's stick.
The encouraging thing is Vanny had his best game in about two months last night.

At the same time, my expectations this year were that they'd compete for an 8th seed before either narrowly missing the playoffs or making it and getting derriere blasted in the 1st round. I couldn't be more pleased with how its all coming together, and Timo's going to be a big piece moving forward both for his scoring touch and his size.
Haula's not even that big, but he's been the most physical player on the ice. I'd love to bring him back and keep him as the third line center.
Vanny played his best game since the initial run in November last night. He was super sharp.

Gallant has taken Lindy to the woodshed. He's made him his prag over the last week.If this ends in a sweep, I would be on board with firing Lindy. I didn't think he should have been retained for this year, and they hired Brunette as the essential coach-in-waiting.
Hard to fire a guy when you exceed expectations like this, but I'm fine making Lindy our Mark Jackson/Buck Showalter.

- NYR 3rd and esp. their 4th lines are keeping the Devils from turning this into a free-wheeling skatefest (i.e. while the Rangers have 'wheels' imho the Devils enjoy the slight edge overall speed-wise).

All of this is very true. Igor's made nice saves when he's had to as well, though he hasn't been overly tested either.
But that's what happens when you have a team that can't score if the high slot is clogged or they can't generate turnovers in the offensive or neutral zone. They can't generate anything when they're pushed along the boards, its been that way all year.
But as much as the Rangers have the clear experience edge, the special teams should not be this bad. Chris Kreider is a tremendous player who's always hurt the Devils, but he looks like freaking Ovechkin out there.
Lindy going to Brendan Smith in Game 2 and refusing to sit Miles Wood (I cannot WAIT until he fucks off in free agency) for Curtis Lazar has really hurt this team, but it doesn't matter when you have absolutely no answer as a staff to try and find a fast, young, high scoring core some space.

(☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞ AKIRA SCHMID ☜ (↼_↼)Good as he was, Igor was further tested as the ”land of the 8-letter alphabet” satans were the stronger finishers.
For the NYR, again Igor was sharp….on tbe other hand the breadman’s (Panarin) shot was “garbage-meets-trash” accuracy-wise not to mention Patrick Kane overall sucking the big one as well…..inho..
That said, in addition, Igor was gooned up by NJD’s Meier…no call….while down the other end of the ice Panarin was being gooned-up as well (albeit the runt is stupidly reacted). Long story short: NJ was awarded a 2-1 penalty advantage ehere it could’ve/ should’ve (could’ve been deserved a 2-man advantage for the good team).

Everyone is still sleeping on Florida though, Toronto included. They're a year off a Presidents Cup with an arguably better roster and just knocked off the widely recognized best team in hockey.

But...people forget the absolute set of brass balls Lou had in acquiring talent and dealing beloved players away, players that won cups here (Randy McKay, Arnott, Sykora, Guerin, etc etc etc), in order to reinvent the team to continue to win. Does Fitz have that kind of foresight and gumption?
Basically thats my long winded way of asking if Fitz has the balls to deal say a Bratt in a hockey trade, or do the easy thing and overpay him the 8x8.5 that he wants.

Vanecek, Joe Harris, and Denzel Mims for Hellebuyck.Keep Mims and throw in some Arbys curly fries and we have a deal

Then it isn't getting done.
Well, the Devils have shown interest for awhile...and it sounds like this would be a sign and trade scenario. So, you'll be giving up some significant pieces if that's the case. There are other suitors, so nothing is certain.
but if you think Fitz is getting him for bottom-feeding talent....then you don't know NHL hockey.
If you want an example of the type of return, look at the M.Tkachuk deal from last summer.

Timo freaking Meier resigns. 8 @ 8.8. Slight overpay, but the slight is literally like 500-800k so who gives a freak.
This team is ready to freaking rolllllllll
Post by: MBGreen on June 28, 2023, 01:20:46 PM
Fitz puts it right in Calgary's pooper by sending a pick we got for a pending UFA who was leaving, and Shango who is a good middle six option when he isn't in Lindy's doghouse which is always for Toffoli.

you're one Hellebuyck away from going to the Cup in 2024. Send us Nemec, and go get the win. You have my blessing.

Kinda bullshit that I can't watch this game.
The NHL has the worst broadcast policies and agreements of any sport in North America. It's absolute horseshit - I can't buy one streaming service that shows me every Sens game, because I live in region. The only way to see every game is to subscribe to cable sports and I refuse to do that again.

I went to UBS for the game tonight. GREAT arena, great atmosphere, Isles fans are always super cool, its a really nice place to watch a game.
I was shocked at how many Devils fans invaded the place.

They actually played their best game defensively against an awful Blackhawks team, but I have a sneaking suspicion Colorado is going to be a much different test.

Toffoli has been very good.
He's been disgusting. It's going to be very interesting to see what kind of cap gymnastics Fitz can pull off to keep him here.

Which makes the Pens performance tonight in the 3rd all the more pathetic. That team fuckin stinks.

3 points tonight including an apple on the game winner by Luke because he's the freaking man.

He's Anze Kopitar 2.0.
Refreshing to see them get dubs without having 5 goals dumped on them the last two games, but honestly, they've been sluggish. That first period today was dogshit.

freak Boston
Yuge 2 points to keep up with a completely congested field. Very sound game out of the team.
Nemec continues to impress. I thought Colin Miller has continued what's been a very nice run of form over the last five games or so.
Timo's gotta get going here.
Post by: mj2sexay on December 18, 2023, 02:22:58 PM
It definitely affected them, they looked slow, tired and sluggish.
Some rando website spewed a rumor of Holtz, Seamus Casey and a first for Gibson and if Fitz did that he should be run out on the same rail that I wish would take the Jets braintrust out of town.
Post by: MBGreen on December 18, 2023, 02:27:08 PM
Last night was their worst performance by far, but not for nothing, what the freak is the NHL doing scheduling a back to back when they literally just wrapped up a road trip. They went from out west, to Columbus, to immediately playing.

Hellebuyck is putting up Vezina numbers so far. All you had to do was part with Nemec.

Nemec has been fantastic. Especially with Dougie's injury, I'm still glad they didn't part with him even if Helly's been awesome which he has. Nemec and Casey (as well as a cap crunch) might force them to partially retain on Dougie and give a draft pick to a floor team to take him as soon as next year.
The real problem facing this team from a cap perspective (and it's going to freak them if/when they want to make a movie for a goalie) is they've given huge financial commitments to two guys that haven't done excrement in Timo and Palat. I can forgive Fitzy on Timo-its still early anyway. The Palat overpay was obvious the second they put pen to paper.

Post by: MBGreen on December 31, 2023, 08:49:12 AM
Lots of team front offices are eating excrement sandwiches on this.
Hellebuyck is top 3 in the league currently and an early favorite for the vezina.

You guys could've had Hellebuyck...incredible.Hellebuyck was always a good bet this year, but you're giving up a lot of assets AND have to pay him a ton of money through his late 30's. Risky contract. The way it's worked out so far, maybe you take that risk, but I would not feel comfortable paying Hellebuyck that much for that long AND giving up key assets.

Jack Hughes is week-to-week with an upper-body injury, per Devils head coach Lindy Ruff.

Having Tommy DeVito do the intro for this game was certainly a choice.Joe Piscopo used to be the grand marshall for their Stanley Cup wins. If you're from NJ and remotely known to the public then the Devils will shove you in front of the camera.

Not saying to fire the guy, he's going to get to pick the next coach (Gallant? Guy Boucher?), but he's on a much closer microscope and hotter seat then I would've thought he'd be on at this point.
Post by: Derek Smalls on March 06, 2024, 11:59:02 AM
Fitz is going to need to be further scrutinized. The Meier trade hasn't looked great, the Shango for Toffoli deal looks absolutely freaking awful. He hung with Lindy way too long and didn't address the goalie situation when the team had a window.100% agree with all of this. I'm still on board with Fitz, but the goalie/coaching situations are on him, and his big moves recently have not worked great.
