That trade wouldn't get you a Bobby Ryan JERSEY in return.

Jesus christ will you drop it? Kovalchuk didn't have dick to do with Tallinder being worthless. Give it a fvcking rest. How about DeBoer plays the fvcking LW at fvcking LW maybe? What a novel concept.

This team can barely score 3 goals in 60 minutes, gimme a break.

What a fvcking joke. Haven't played a game in like 4 days and this is how they come out. Pathetic. Zero excuse for getting the sh!t kicked out of you by a team so terrible.

Thank god we have 2 more full seasons of this abortion of a contract in Tallinder.

Apropos of nothing, but that Gomez contract is just awesome.

He was the primary assist on HenriqueNation's goal.

According to this board, apparently the Devils would've won the Cup last year if only we still had Nic Bergfors and Johnny Orrduya instead of Ilya Kovalchuk. Gotcha. Good to know.

I cannot believe you people just conveniently forget what a HUGE part of our resurgence Kovalchuk was post-MacLean last year. Whatever fits your narrative I guess.

I ain't digging. I'm going from the time Lemaire took over, essentially. Which, by the way, in that same span of 21 goals in 45 games from January 1st on, Kovalchuk was an even 0. Starting from the exact date of Lemaire's first game last year, 22 goals in 49 games and a -4. So he compiled a -22 under John MacLean. Are we placing sole blame on Kovalchuk considering that entire team sucked ass under MacLean? Doesn't seem fair.

21 goals in 45 games. Please stop playing armchair psychologist, you don't know sh!t about how the man feels, stop pretending you do. You sound like an idiot.

Explain January 1st through the end of the season last year then, when he put up 21 goals in 45 games. Lemaire came back, we played 7 out of 8 games like terrible sh!t and then barely lost for the rest of the year. All the while Kovalchuk was sh!tting on people. Bad fit with the organization my ass, the organization is just using him wrong.

The skate propelled the puck into the net because Parise lifted his foot to change position and when he put it back down, he struck the puck with his skate and it went in. That's gonna be no goal like 95% of the time. As soon as they showed that angle, I knew it was coming back.

Kicked in, not gonna count, game over.

What's Kovalchuk even want with the ref calling a penalty? This team needs less PPs, not more.

+ HenriqueNation

I have never seen that called in my life.

Maybe Kovalchuk wouldn't suck so bad if he was actually playing his real position. I dunno, just a thought. Jacques Lemaire seemed to get him to play like he knew what hockey was.

HOW MUCH LONGER CAN ADAM OATES BE EMPLOYED?

Pelley is my dogg. Dump Janssen and play Pelley/Mills/Zharkov When Kovy is back, kick Mills to the press box so the 4th line is Pelley, Zharkov and Clarkson.

Don't play Pelley, don't win the game. Simple as that. 4-1-1 with, 3-5-0 without. Play Rod The Bong.

Yeah lets put Ryan Carter, a guy who shouldnt even be in the NHL, at 2nd line centre. Fantastic plan of attack.

Andy Greene just isn't very good. That one season he had where he was decent wasn't the norm, that was the aberration. What you've seen for the past 2 seasons is the norm. Guy stinks.

I hope Jacques Lemaire starts the 3rd behind the bench. DeBoer is a fvcking disaster.

Hedberg gives this team the best chance to win every night. Zero hyperbole.
