So, do not forget the link if NHL.com does not work, if anyone can find another link.
-
I could have sworn last year they showed TSN coverage on NHL Network, like they did for the draft on NBCSN this year.
If you guys find an alternate link, please post it as well if NHL.com Press Room does not work.
-
According to the NHL Network TV Schedule, the TSN Free Agent Frenzy will be shown starting at 12 on NHLNET in the US http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=58058
OK Thank You
-
No, it does not work, NHL.com will have it, but starting at 2 only.
-
Hey everyone, I know I will be able to watch the NHL on TSN Free Agent Frenzy on NHL.com at 2 PM on Friday, but it starts at Noon, so I was wondering if anyone knows a good link in the USA since TSN.ca live feed only is available in Canada, I only needed it for 2 hours. If anyone here knows, please pass it along.

I don't really care, if the Devils lose Parise, they lose him, its how things work in the NHL. Expectations will remain the same, Stanley Cup or bust. If they cannot sign him by trade deadline, Lou might have no choice but to trade him since next years free agent class is weak after him. Lou might have to make an exception to his rule of no negotiating during the season, but the one-year-deal for Parise will put pressure on both Zach and Devils to do some big things this year. Parise has also not proven anything in the playoffs, so it won't be a major catastrophe to lose him, Devils are used to this and even though there is a Salary Cap, Lou's philosophy remains the same.

I'd be surprised if there is another lockout in the NHL. The NHL and the NHLPA will learn from football and basketball and try to avoid it at all costs. They simply cannot afford another lockout, because the league can fold from any future work stoppages as it almost did in 2004-2005. Fans will definitely lose interest in the game. Even 1 games missed will be costly. I think the salary cap should stay as is, but the issues that are likely to be discussed are:
-Contract Term Limits (Expect League to impose a maximum length on contracts, but current long-term contracts can stay as is. I think 8 years per long-term contracts should be mximum)
-Front Loaded Contracts (Expect NHL to construct Maximum Salary on a front loaded contract, for Example Kovy will make $11.8 million is one of the years, expect maybe no more than $8-10 million on any new deal.)
-Safety of Players (Further Head Shot and injury evaluation)
-Mandatory Visors (Issue will definitely come up due to Malhotra's eye injury.)
-Keep Salary Cap Inflator
-Olympic Participation in Sochi, Pyeongchang
-3rd National TV Broadcast Network (I expect NHL to return to ESPN and have them as the 3rd National TV Broadcast along with NBC/Versus. No way ESPN will wait 10 years for another shot at NHL. Turner Sports will also make a bid. Remember NBA has 3 National Networks in ESPN/ABC/TNT.)
-All Star Game format and Draft Rules
-NHL/IIHF transfer agreement (NHL will have to try to implement rules so it can be the best league in the world and not have players go to KHL or any other leagues in Europe.)
So, I doubt there will be a work stoppage, expect Fehr and Bettman to start negotiations in January on new CBA.

I think DeBoer is a good choice, will inject some fresh energy into Devils. Has potential to be like Bylsma.

I am pretty sure Lou still does not have a Plan A. And why would you listen to Mark (N)Єverson, he exaggerates sh!t. Training Camp opens Friday, September 16th, so the latest a coach can be named is that Thursday, so maybe Lou will wait til then whatever his excuse might be. But if it mean that Parise will be signed to an extension, I will certainly be ok with him stretching the search into late summer. I would not be surprised if Lou is coaching the team, maybe he is not impressed with anyone.
-
Just to throw it out there:
Kovalchuk Zajac Palmieri
Rolston Elias Zubrus
Parise Josefson Tedenby
Henrique Steckel Clarkson
Extras: Pelley
Fayne Talliner
White Volchenkov
Greene Larsson
Extras: Taormina, Salvador
I think Salvador is likely going to be Devils subtraction.
-
I would not be shocked about Robinson, but Kowalsky has no resume yet, he still has a long way to go to becoming an NHL ready coach. But I doubt it will be either of those. If Hitchcock is brought in to coach Devils, I think at least Robinson stays on as assistant. Oates I think will be assigned to Special Assignment Coach. I think the Head Coach will come from outside the organization.
-
Well the Devils start their prospects and developmental camp next Monday, so sometime next week it would be fitting for Lou to name a coach. But Lou hired both Sutter and Lemaire on July 13th in 2007 and 2009 respectively, which is next Wednesday, maybe that could be the day and then Lou will say its just a coincidence that happens on the 13th. But I think he should just get the coaching headache out of the way and focus on locking up Parise to an extension already. I think we are very close to knowing who the coach will be, but how close is very close?
-
There is huge Twitter Buzz that the Devils will name Guy Carbonneau as their new coach. I myself doubt it, because of his 2008-2009 tumultuous tenure in Montreal and the Devils just had the same with MacLean. Carbonneau though is more of a fiery guy than MacLean and the Devils like to hire ex-Habs coaches.
-
Yea, maybe they sign only 1 UFA, but I think next summer is when they can do some damage int he FA Market with so many contracts coming off the books.
-
I know its a bit early to do so, but with the Devils projected to finish 29/30 in NHL this year, here is what there line-up could look like.
Parise Zajac Zubrus
Kovalchuk Couturier Clarkson
Elias Josefson Tedenby
Rolston Pelley Vasyunov/Zharkov
Greene Salvador
White Tallinder
Volchenkov Corrente
Notes: The Devils need puck movers on defense, so hopefully they will pursue Kaberle and hopefully Elias can court him to NJ.

As much as I hate Scott Burnside, I think he has a point in this video. He talks about how Marc Savard was very influential in Ilya Kovalchuk's career in Atlanta. So, now the question is who could be that #1 center the Devils need? Savard is likely out til January with post concussion symptoms and Boston is not likely to trade him. So, for now Zajac and Arnott need to show poise and start improving their play and skate with Kovalchuk.

Anybody have some good pot flavor to smoke? This team is imploding, what the fvck is wrong with them?
-
Look at it this way, I did not expect this start, but where has a good regular season got us the past 3 years? Out of the playoffs in the first round, so this start might actually be a good thing. Eventually they will get consistency and start winning. They can start 0-8 for all I care, but all they need to do is make the playoffs.
-
Yea, not the start I expected for the Devils. You can only blame Johnny Mac for this since his message is not coming through to the players. And, yes the Devils are somewhat predictable in the game.
-
Would be nice to see Ovie and Kovy in Russia next year. Its a long shot from happening though. I think a good thing for next year would be assuming the NHL sends 8 teams to Europe. I voted yes even though its a long shot. The Devils are one of few remaining teams yet to go to Europe for the NHL Premiere.
London: (Leafs vs Habs)
Stockholm: (Canucks vs Oilers)
Moscow or St. Petersburg: (Devils vs Capitals)
Prague or Helsinki: (Flames vs Stars)
-
Good goal by Langs, makes up for the penalty. Tallinder and Urbom look very good. Mair looks good, Nilson ok. Leblond is showing some offensive upside.
-
The Devils site has not been putting up photos except for a few twitpics, does anyone know where I can find some training camp photos? I know TG and ESPN have like 5 photos together, but anyone know anywhere else?
