GDT: St Paddys day 3:30 pm Edition: Devils @ Vegas bling knights
NJDevs4978 replied to DevilMinder's topic in Hell
When you don't punish or discipline him at all, nothing. Part of learning is holding guys accountable. Other than Holtz and Timo for one game, this staff (and really the whole organization) has only held one fvcking fourth liner who is going to be traded this offseason accountable. Real gutless. -
GDT: St Paddys day 3:30 pm Edition: Devils @ Vegas bling knights
NJDevs4978 replied to DevilMinder's topic in Hell
fvck them too, they've had a big hand in creating this mess themselves. Let them fix it - players, Fitz...all of them. -
GDT: 3/16/24 Devils last last stand @ Coyotes 5:00pm MSGSN
NJDevs4978 replied to NJDfan1711's topic in Hell
They’re not in a worse position but they have too many a$$holes who aren’t self starters and constantly need a kick in the ass. At least Fitz either needs to fumigate the locker room or get a coach in here who’ll demand accountability - ideally some combination of both though -

It’d be a pretty damn long list, longer than the Manga Carta, and why we won’t be going either. -

Well this last stand went about as well as Custer’s did -
Jets get Tyron Smith on a one year deal after trading for Morgan Moses so on paper the line should be better, but of course these guys are old so that seldom seems to work out for us

GDT: The 'It Barely Matters" Edition - 3/14/24 Devils @ Stars 8:00pm MSGN2
NJDevs4978 replied to NJDfan1711's topic in Hell
The fact they’re somehow STILL only four points out just makes me more annoyed at these fvckfaces for their lack of urgency all around - Fitz, the staff and the players -
As stupid as Rodgers is, I don’t think he’s THAT stupid when it comes to football at least. Missing a season and likely ending his career for a spoiler campaign for president would be comparable to what Mark Gastineau pulled.

GDT: 3/11/24 - Devils @ Rangers 7:00 pm NHLN/MSGSN/MSG
NJDevs4978 replied to ButlerBulldog's topic in Hell
Why would it when you can’t even score on five minute majors? -
I mean I might take him over Jose Iglesias who seems to be slotted for the utility bench role but Stearns is prioritizing defense so I doubt he’d be a consideration

Lemaire would say it but he’s got credibility and wasn’t part of the problem on the bench the way Green has been -
Good enough for the Eagles but not good enough for us to pay him or even play him full time smh

I haven't been into spring training (I never usually am) but for some reason every time I look at a score it seems to be 1-0, 2-1, 3-1...I know teams want to get preseason games over with asap but geez those are examples of two-hour games that really don't have much action in them. At least it looks like we'll get the long-awaited return of Edwin Diaz. Can't say I'm too excited about anything else at this point, but all of us have been through the ringer as fans between last season's Mets, the current Devils and last NFL season.
-
Cuts and free agency starting up soon...predictably they haven't signed or tagged Bryce Huff, typical. They haven't developed a pass rusher since John Abraham (who they also binned off), finally do and they draft Will McDonald to replace him because he's too expensive now. After all the money they threw around last offseason on Aaron Rodgers and junk, not to mention other expensive deals like John-Franklin Myers for mid-guys.
-
I almost don't even care if Miller and Smith are here past the deadline, a likely 4th-5th round pick doesn't move the needle much and they kind of have to keep/bring in SOMEone to take minutes, they aren't literally going to play the Utica defensive core the last twenty games. Maybe trade one and keep the other, or trade them both and take someone's cap dump to fill the void till the end of the season.
-
Wingers (who aren't physical) generally get a 2 and a 3 tops...my problem is taking the 2 in 2025. I mean really, you couldn't get a 2nd rounder this year? I don't buy the Fitz playing 4D chess angle (taking the 2025 pick because it's supposedly going to be a better draft), taking a likely low 2025 2nd rounder is underwhelming by any metric. If anything I'm worried he'll say something like we respect Tyler and worked with him to send him somewhere he wanted to go, he's already shown he let feelings get in the way at times.
-
Where the hell are those rumors coming from? I understand not wanting to trade with the Rangers or Flyers I suppose, I actually was in the minority that I liked that Lou 'rule' but who gives a flying fig about trading with Toronto or even Carolina in a season when you're cashing out on a playoff run? It's not like he hasn't given up rentals to conference teams before - sending Greene, Palmieri and Zajac to the Island for example.
-
Yep there's literally nothing redeeming about this trade besides 'well he got something!' (and four whole hours before the deadline no less)...yeah a 2025 2nd, not even 2024. And the 50% retained really didn't seem to add jack squat to the value. Wouldn't shock me if Fitz says something to the effect of we wanted to send Tyler a place he wanted to go.
-
So did I but considering the post didn't mention Lindy at all, maybe not
-
So all Timo needed was to go back to his natural position and play on PP1? Who knew...
-
The fact that Winnipeg doubled down on their core suggests Helle was never truly available. I'm not sure Saros is either judging by Trotz's reported ridiculous ask.
-
The point at this point would be not to completely blow up the kids' confidence. Let Vitek and some retread eat the last twenty games of the season, they've already blown up Daws for a while.
-
Yeah dude'll be 32 heading into FA, he's definitely wishcasting for a retirement deal.
-
And Jack got trolled on social media by the Kings’ dopey mascot and their Twitter after they whipped us twice. A lot of crap out of context gets memed, if that was a one off it’d be one thing to give him a pass for a slightly out of context quote but he’s been ‘moody’ in general since mid-December and the first Ducks game where he was in whiner mode then, following that up with a couple of crucial giveaways against the Flyers two nights later. Now more people are seeing it because with the team doing worse people look for it, plus it’s naturally going to be worse at this point but his maturity (and the lack of accountability for it) has been an underlying issue for a while.

Maybe they need a Sutter-like prick but I don't think coming in and stripping Elias 2.0 of the C will solve anything, I still don't think it really helped doing it to Elias. Put it this way, if Nico isn't the C on this team who exactly would you trust with it? MAYBE Bratt? At least that dude is actually playing up to signing his big deal but he's like Nico's little bro anyway.
