fresh off a long layoff, Lost Loser Lindy will probably go to the VV well yet again against a premier opponent. Holtz will assuredly get saddled with Tierney and Wilman while Bastian wastes every chance the 3rd line generates. Please come out on fire and not in a morgue… LFGD

Sounds like Thursday for Jack: https://newjerseyhockeynow.com/2024/02/06/devils-notebook-when-will-jack-hughes-play-former-devils-reutrn-tonight/?fbclid=IwAR1TpWj4Bov11CEl2SLNEBF3CJgRUP9l5vbvdw61N5Wqa9r4bhnNhgu9R3s_aem_ARZNUaQVE1iFzPuoW1wd7uGFOVx_tTb-870ZVqfZxG4djjGLyrCE0Ky9SUu4L8KQ6kA

Yeah I'm not feeling great about this game nor the rest of the season, really. I've tried to remain as optimistic as possible but it just feels like Fitz refuses to give this team the shakeup it needs. I know I've beaten the dead horse as much as anyone but how Fitz can feel like Lindy is still the guy...even with the Devils still in the WC hunt, it's feeling more and more like Fitz is punting 2023-24...when asked about this at the end of the season, he'll mention injuries, Luke and Nemec going through expected growing pains, etc. He won't be entirely wrong but man it does feel like whenever Shero's or Fitz's Plan A don't play out exactly as hoped...it's on to "So maybe next year Plan A works out". Hopefully Jack comes back soon and is 100% (or 110% for that matter), because barring that, I just don't see the Devils squeaking into the playoffs. I want to be very wrong about that.

Bumping this part. They opened the first game after with the prepared statement and then moved on to what the team would look at that night. But what is Bill going to say that we don't already know from Westhead & Strang's reporting? Honestly, I don't want the rest of players to be talking about it. Me hearing what Jack or Timo or Lazar's feelings on it wont change what the a$$hole may have done and its a tragic thing for the victim and a horrendous [FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD] distraction for the rest of them who played no role in it other than being this POS' teammate for the last few years. As for the purpose of this thread, tonight's first period is massive on so many levels. Are we going to get the comatose, still on island time team or they going to come out and rise to the level of their opposition? I know at this point it is 100% old man yelling at cloud but his seat better be on fire if they get steamrolled

I missed Devils hockey. I’m really hoping the Devils can turn it around and that VV doesn’t let up a goal 48 seconds into the game

Purple bar abandoned us long ago.

Only the Fanatics ones. You'll have to wait until the 29th for the Adidas version.

I certainly hope they don’t ask the players about it. Just another chance to add fuel to the fire there.

Lindy sure does!

They already mentioned it when it happened, read the same statement the Devils twitter posted and like you said, won't ever be mentioned again.

I mean they all just kicked Russia and Belarus out because of things those players have no control over so it's not surprising. Canada really should have a ban for awhile because of their actions in covering this up too.

Outside the arena waiting to get in so I can run to the store to get in line to maybe get a jersey. The whole situation blows and is poorly run. I might come across as a complainer but lining up before outside the doors even open just to then sprint to the store to get on line to wait in another line is dog sh!t. If you wanna do this correctly you do it by tenure, send out emails in order. 40+ years first, 35-39 next, 30-34 next etc etc etc then those people have 1 hour to make their selections each. Then you pick them up at the arena tonight and Thursdays games. If you don't make it to any of those to pick it up then it goes on sale to the general public. Look how fvcking easy that was and nobody has to wait on a dumb ass long lines and run to the stores!

The coach will have to be fired for that to happen.

Excited to have a game to watch tonight, hopefully it’s worth watching

Those were kinda promoted as more of a limited thing though no? Personally if I can't get one to wear to the outdoor game and then we get blown out or lose I'm not even gonna bother wasting the money. It shouldn't be this difficult to spend a lot of money lol

Once the dust settles, these jerseys will be around. The same sh!t happened with the RR’s.

Ugh I forgot about his dopey ass. Hope VV wears extra pads for when Wood crashes into him

Hopefully they send Kakko the other way.

I don't see the big deal-- there doesn't seem to be that much of a difference between our two goalie options right now. Just roll the dice and pray to purple bar.

Will Their jerseys go on sale Dec. 26?🤔

That’s not saying much 🤣

Oh fun

Haha, what a joke. Well, at least they're not playing the Penguins.

That we give up the first goal? Lol

No idea what to expect with this one. Let's Go Devils.

I heard rumors that at some point this season, a team may have broken this B2B losing curse. Also something about league fixing was mentioned when it happened to us two weeks ago... Maybe the fix is in for us tonight!

LGD's!

Avs played tonight and will be in the second game of a B2B, so there’s that. I’m under the impression that it’s impossible to win the second game LGD!

Yeah I don't disagree, it's state media.

Saved by two off duty nurses too, awesome that he’s recovering

Shades of this family guy joke:

In the event McLeod’s name is somehow mentioned, I can totally envision Dano pretending not to know who he is.

MSG won't even admit when the team is playing like crap, I fully expect them to never mention this.

See ya McLeod, hope you can live with yourself.

Do we? I’ve actually enjoyed the break.

sh!t like this is why the MLS is going to pass the NHL in popularity in our lifetimes. The league is run horribly. The MLS and Adidas were prepared to sell all the Miami Messi jerseys they could sell and never dropped the ball with it like the NHL has done for a game they knew they were having ages ago.

I'm positive that tomorrow will be an absolute disaster at the Devils store because they still haven't even sent out details about it. sh!t should be simple, if you're already limiting it to 2 jerseys per account for season ticket holders only then just send out emails based on tenure. 40+ goes first, 35-39 next, 30-34 etc and give everyone a 1 hour window to select what you want. You then pick them up tomorrow. If you don't pick them up they go back to the general sale. No crazy lines of people lining up early, no chaos and unorganzation. See how easy that is! Absolute fvcking morons.

Bit of a random one during the downtime - a former member of this parish joins my hometown team:

Oh I agree. I’m sure we’re gonna get a nice Parise goal in our faces tonight.
