MantaRay Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 This has been a great month to be a Devils fan. Vezina, Stanley Cup and two future stars in the making. LOU IS GOD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nieuwy25 Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Isn't it great to hear all the praised heaped on the Devils organization??? Thanks, TSN! You could just see how excited Lou was that Parise was still available and they could make a move up to get him. Must feel pretty good to be taken by the Stanley Cup Champions! And on the other side of the coin . . . you should hear all the whining going on by the Stars fans about the lack of agressiveness by Armstrong today. Night and day difference between the Stars and Devils. Way to go Lou! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddDog Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Parise looked really happy.Some of the others didn't look as happy as he did. He's probably just glad he's going to a real team, and not the Ranger$ or something LOL Now I'm really pissed I missed this if Lou was SMILING!!!

MantaRay Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Armstrong is certainly no Bob Gainey, especially without Craig Button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyshrouds Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Well they do have a point with size not being an issue with guys like Madden, Brylin and Gionta. I was hoping for a brute but his rank was very good and if he can skate and score, that's all that matters.He looks like Prince William.... Hmm, does that mean all the 15-year-old teeny bop female Devils fans will swoon over him? I have no idea what he looks like since I MISSED the show Maddog - You be the judge!

MantaRay Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 I believe ESPN2 hosts said that Lou and Conte had the look of the Chesire cats with thier grins because of the steal they made in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge18 Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 On tsn.ca there is a pol about draft day winners The teams in it were Hurricanes Panthers Penguins DEVILS To be ranked up there with the teams that had the first 3 picks is insane.

Triumph Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 I'll believe the hype when Parise makes an impact in the NHL as a New Jersey Devil. Until then, it looks like a very solid move by Lou. What's hardest to believe is that Edmonton wanted to deal that pick.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belizarius Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 It's repetitive. Every year, we read : draft winner : Devils. boring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantaRay Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 The potential is great TRI, considering he doesn't have to be rushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Guess the Oilers figured that they can still get their man at the 22nd pick and I guess they did and got the 68th pick in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDF Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 I'll believe the hype when Parise makes an impact in the NHL as a New Jersey Devil. Of course this goes without saying...but the prosect, which is what every pick int he draft is, sounds tremdous and exciting. GO DEVILS!!

Sarge18 Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 The guy was at times projected to be a top 10 pick by some people, the he fell to us at 17 is huge. Its a great pickup from this draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge18 Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Central Scouting has him at 5'11" 186, so id take that as pretty accurate, hes 18 so im sure he can get a bit bigger. Im feeling really good about this pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
