Neb00rs Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 A fair question would be... Does a shootout goal counts? Lol So whats more likely here.... A) that hes the lone scorer in a 5-1 loss B) gets the game winner If, after all of the team's shootout struggles, Tim Sestito scores in a shootout, my head is going to explode.

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 This has brought some much needed cheer to the board. And something that we can look forward to come game time. Thanks Tri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BostonNala370 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 He's played 89 games in parts of 7 seasons, all of them as a forward, and he has yet to score a goal. since 2011-2012, the Devils have 249 GP from forward call-ups from Bernier, Gionta, Mills, Sestito, Veilleux, Zalewski, Zharkov, Butler, Anderson, Pesonen, Boucher, Janssen, Tedenby, Sislo, Whitney.......and there are a total of 11 goals from the group -- six of those goals coming from Bernier and Janssen. Speaks volumes about the ability of Devils management acquiring and drafting players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils11274 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 He has done some good things on the ice. Blocks shots and is helping the penalty kill. Has cleared the zone a bunch of times when they were in deep trouble. Plus he gives it his all every shift hits people and plays 110% unlike others out there.

DJ Eco Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 If, after all of the team's shootout struggles, Tim Sestito scores in a shootout, my head is going to explode. That'd be enough to earn him a long-term contract at $2m/5 years, 1-way, the way Lou's been lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Sestito Watch 12/23: I'd rank this a 2 on the Sestito Almost Scored scale. He didn't have a shot and he probably didn't have an attempt. He was on the ice briefly with Cammalleri and Jagr though, and he was about to attempt a shot when the play was whistled because the net was dislodged.

thecoffeecake Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Another David Hale. Scoring futility has been the quintessential image of devils hockey for how long now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oconnellrules Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Classic Devils fringe guy. He's well rounded enough to play in place of an injured regular but he's so far from skilled it's hilarious. He's blue collar, works for every inch and usually makes the right play. I don't hate him, it's just not a good sign for the franchise if he's the first guy you call up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a waste of space and time and effort.. He's not that bad. He's a decent skater and is ok positionally for a 4th line role. He's not my first choice to make the team, but he doesn't hurt us to the point where he deserves the hate directed towards him that he garners.

He's not my first choice to make the team, but he doesn't hurt us to the point where he deserves the hate directed towards him that he garners. I don't even think he's 4th-liner material. It's a foreign concept to us Devils fans recently, but 4th liners can actually be expected to contribute on rare occasions. Look at the CGBG in 2012, that was a bitching 4th line. 6 points in 90 games is unacceptable for an NHL player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the CGBG in 2012, that was a bitching 4th line. 6 points in 90 games is unacceptable for an NHL player. I think the idea that a 4th line contributing is a little overblown. The only teams that have 4th liners that contribute even just semi-regularly are the top teams in the league. By and large the 4th liners on teams are just there to provide "energy" and to give the top 2 lines some rest so they don't play massive minutes. The CBGB line in 2012 also got a bit on a hot streak at the exact right time we needed them. Outside of that playoff run they haven't contributed much at all in terms of scoring, but they did the job that most 4th liners are expected to do which I just stated above. Sestito is fine and I get why he is up here (which is pretty much there isn't a whole lot of better options). He is not great at anything really but not particularly bad at anything either.

I dunno, I might've overstated my point a bit - but I still think a 4th liner shouldn't be a complete zero in the offensive zone (unless he's your typical 'fighter' type).

Triumph Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 This thread isn't about evaluting Tim Sestito as a player. This is about the goal watch for Tim Sestito. The Devils may have Jacob Josefson back for Saturday, but we'll see Sestito back soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
