Have to think it's because of his size. Marin St. Louis went undrafted, and that turned out pretty well.

titans04 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 meh - zero risk but for every St. Louis there's probably a hundred undersized guys that never make it. Is it totally out of the question to find bigger guys that can skate and play? Then there's Wood..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Louis became a total fitness nut, got a lot stronger, became a quicker and more powerful skater. Cangelosi is perhaps an inch taller than St. Louis (St. Louis was listed at 5'8 but was really 5'6) Stat wise I don't see much in terms of playmaking ability in him...

It is easier now for a smaller player than other eras. The big guys that are good are already drafted and under contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he'll be anything like that, just giving an explanation as to why he possibly wasn't drafted, and also that there's pretty much no risk in bringing him in.

thecoffeecake Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Every NHL team passed over Johnny Gaudreau 3 or 4 times. You never know how these guys are going to develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBallofHate Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 He's been a NJ Devils fan since he was 6! While he took part in Devils camps over the past few years, Cangelosi also chose New Jersey because that's who he saw in his first live game. “They played the Atlanta Thrashers,” he said. “It was an 11-1 game. I remember how exciting it was to see 11 goals. “I got to know the organization and liked how they were run while I also liked the guys after getting to meet them.” Cangelosi’s dad Andy recalls shortly after that first NHL game, his son went to school and told classmates during career day that his goal was to play in the NHL for the New Jersey Devils. http://www.news-press.com/story/sports/hockey/2017/03/27/austin-cangelosis-dream-playing-nhl-getting-closer/99692758/ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Haha, memory is funny - there's no game, unless it was in preseason, where the Devils beat the Thrashers 11-1. They beat them 9-0 in 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to check Alex Mogilny's stats against the thrashers as a devil? I have a weird childhood memory of him scoring like 4 or 5 goals in a blowout. Didn't happen. Mogilny scored one hat trick for the Devils in his first stint here in a 4-2 win against the Islanders. McKay and Madden each scored 4 against Pittsburgh in the same game in 2000-2001.

Yeah back in 2008- I remember that Zubrus 4-goal game pretty well, but I forget if someone else had a hat trick in addition to Zubrus' four.

You may have mixed it up with the playoff game against the Leafs where Mogilny had 5 points. Devils actually blew a 5-1 lead in the 3rd in that one and then (strangely) won it in OT.

I honestly can't remember us ever getting 10. Double digits just seems like a foreign concept to me/us. To be fair, it is to most teams (Did it only happen once this year, when Columbus beat MTL 10-0, I think?), but I really do not remember us ever getting to that mark.

RunninWithTheDevil Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 IIRC I think Madden? And pandolfo? Had a pair each in that 9-0 game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) I remember going to a game where the Devils just blasted the expansion Lightning 9-3. They didn't really get many shots on goal either, but whatever crap Tampa had in net was absolutely helpless. It seemed like they were scoring goals on every other shot. Ben Hankinson was first star I believe. Edited March 29, 2017 by '7' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'7' Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Turner Stevenson got the other goal in that 9-0 thrashing. Dano got 0 points but was a +5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
