Pepperkorn 107 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Who would have thought that 15 years later they'd still be playing........ and together...... I was thinking how stupid the website will look with Marty and Jagr as our marquee players Quote Link to post Share on other sites
squishyx 60 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Interesting. one of my first hockey memories comes from the '95 series playoff series vs the penguins when a large angry Devils fan continuously screamed "HIIIIT THAAAATT JJAAAAGGGRR". It'll be weird cheering for him now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pepperkorn 107 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Wait a sec -- this isn't even official? ye gads -- I despair of all things Devils ... except Dave Barr. Maybe I'll even become keeper of Dave Barr's enthusiasm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
squishyx 60 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) DAMNIT KOVALCHUK WE COULD HAVE NATIONALIZED OUR LINES. You ruined everything! Olesz - Elias - Jagr Zubrus - Loktionov - Kovalchuk. Clowe - Henrique - Ryder Gionta - Zajac - Carter Zajac is Canadian and Zubrus is from Lithuania, but ya, close. Edited July 22, 2013 by squishyx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vic Rattlehead18 43 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Your 2013-2014 starting lineup: Elias-Zubrus-Jagr Zidlicky-Salvador Brodeur Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MantaRay 72 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Would rather have had Brunner for three years, I expect Jagr's groin and back issues to surface around Mid-March. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LucifersDog 16 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 You were waiting a long time for this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LucifersDog 16 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 We need Brunner. That needs to get done. Yes we do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devlman 865 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 We have a pretty good crop of forwards for this season. Henrique and JJ will have bounce back years. Once we sign Brunner, we will be contending for a division title. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LucifersDog 16 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Would rather have had Brunner for three years, I expect Jagr's groin and back issues to surface around Mid-March. I would like both so one to go plus Henrique. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThreeCups 19 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Your 2013-2014 starting lineup: Elias-Zubrus-Jagr Zidlicky-Salvador Brodeur No way Zubrus starts out on the first line Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Devilsfan118 2,918 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Your 2013-2014 starting lineup: Elias-Zubrus-Jagr Zidlicky-Salvador Brodeur Almost 230 years of life experience in one line! (Dear God..) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UnderDogX 3 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 They may not be able to sustain a high level of play over the course of a season but everyone will be damned to think a Jagr/Elias combo won't wreak havoc on some level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ Eco 494 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 They may not be able to sustain a high level of play over the course of a season but everyone will be damned to think a Jagr/Elias combo won't wreak havoc on some level. That's a ton of hockey sense and instinct right there, hope it can actually play out the way I picture it could. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thefiestygoat 136 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 This is pretty cool. Never would've thought when I was a kid that I would one day see Jagr in a Devils jersey. Oh, and I love this move too since it will help the offense out a lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't remember them playing very well during the world cup or the olympics in year's past. On paper it sounds good, but hockey is not played on paper. I am hoping that Patty can breath some life into him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sharifijanov2099 26 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I don't think the Devils will be signing Brunner. I think they will be moving a defenseman and one of the kids will play the point, either on the 1st or 2nd PP unit. Who do you expect they'll be able to ship out and how?

Michelle Kenneth @MichelleKenneth37m @jcamps30 @billmeltzer @zdenek_janda Idk about everyone else, but I'm waiting on Lou. JJ already leaked enough already. Expand Reply Retweet Favorite More Bill Meltzer @billmeltzer34m @MichelleKenneth @jcamps30 @zdenek_janda C'mon... Lou LOVES it when info leaks out, especially in advance of team being ready to announce Expand Michelle Kenneth @MichelleKenneth31m @billmeltzer @jcamps30 @zdenek_janda Yeah...I remember NJD's reaction after they figured out Kovy had been talking to me. Expand Zdenek Janda @zdenek_janda20m @MichelleKenneth @billmeltzer @jcamps30 Jagr made absolutely no comments during the last days...So the contract could be saved:) Expand Michelle Kenneth @MichelleKenneth15m @zdenek_janda maybe not after what I just found out.

DevsMan84 2,366 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 UH OH! Maybe deal isn't done! OK except for one of them, I have no idea who the rest of those people are. Why should we listen to them then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph 1,409 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Yeah, lot of nothing here. I do wish that players would actually, you know, get signed and there wouldn't have to be this will-they-or-won't-they teeter-tottering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coorslight 16 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Zdenek is the one who broke the news in the first place and Michelle is scary good in her reporting. IDK which one you don't know. If you read Michelle's article on Kovy after he left and how much he confided in her, you'd believe every thing she says. Also she's just got that creepy quality to her in the fact she predicts a ton of stuff before it happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, I did a long time ago from Insiderrrrrrrrr, but still. If I didn't trust the sorce I wouldn't post it here. I'm not sure if Michelle is kidding with her last comment or not, she didn't get back to a couple of us on there when we asked her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
