RunninWithTheDevil Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Last thread I started was the 12/15 game against the Stars, right about when our bad run started. Hopefully I can get a little GDT luck to the team tonight. Tough schedule coming up. We need to get through this strong if we still want a chance of sniffing the playoffs. Just win.

2ELIAS6 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 this month is a difficult stretch. the goaltending needs to bounce back..we need these two points here or we are going to start slipping behind with how tight the division is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagknife Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I hope Momma Kinkaid brought her son his big boy pants. Tonight he better bounce back after the last 2 games. Steal a goddamn game for us KK Someone in addition to Trav and the Texans and our True Captain better score tonight. Let's freaking Go Devils! Back to the winning ways! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when Nico isn’t scoring he’s always at least noticeable, but I feel like Bratt has been quiet lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, Nico, has struggled with finish somewhat, on the other hand I have been very impressed with how well he does staying on the puck and battling guys on the boards, great balance and competiveness. You'd think if anything it would be the other way around. Plus his speed and ability to drive some play is noticeable. If and when he gets better at finishing at the level he is going to be outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can’t msintain the puck along the boards at all, my 10 year old could knock him off the puck, and she’s a girl and doesn’t know how to ice skate. I find him almost completely ineffective in those situations. My man needs to bulk up in the offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I'm tired of complaining about how bad Kinkaid is. Just get 2 points. LETS GO DEVILS!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I’m going to DVR this game. I’ll be out tonight AND tomorrow during the day. I plan to avoid all media and watch the two games back to back as a double header. Or I may try to watch tonight’s game while I’m out tomorrow on the FIOS app. Either way it’ll be interesting to see if I make it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems like a silly thing to insult him for. He is definitely young and I'm sure eventually will bulk up and add some mass to him, but mfitz isn't wrong -- Nico is so easy to knock off the puck. It happens at least 2-3 times a game...someone will hit him from behind and he crumbles pretty easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, just because I didn't know where else to post this: Andrew Gross Verified account @AGrossRecord This can be seen as a good sign - Taylor Hall: "Both my parents have really liked how I’ve been treated by the New Jersey Devils and the trajectory our team is on. Both my parents are really happy with that, so all good." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same feeling here and I don't think it's a given that a guy this small will automatically grow bigger and stronger where this becomes a non-issue. Immensely talented kid that would be dominant if he were a few inches taller and 25+ pounds heavier. I also think it's a fair critic regardless of age. Hopefully he can become stronger as time goes on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicomo Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 He doesn’t necessarily need to gain a lot of weight. There’s plenty of guys smaller than him in the league. He should just focus on strength and conditioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s still in the early stages of puberty for Christ sakes lol. There’s a big difference between 6’ 1” and 160 lbs and 6’ 1” and 180 lbs.

Yeah, and he's really in the early stages of puberty lol. He's probably got another year or two max before he stops growing, if he hasn't already. Early puberty is generally like 13-15...

He’ll get there In all fairness, my ex-girlfriend's kids who I consider my step children are soon to be 21 and 19, oldest one is 6'5" and probably 190-200lbs, and the other is 6'3" probably 200-210-ish. Granted a lot of it has to do with genetics, and they both go to the gym extensively, but Nico has been an athlete his whole life and he's now getting paid for it, and he should also be working out daily and able to put on some pounds...

titans04 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 because well all know the stated numbers are real. He's very small and light, same with Bratt. You can't teach size and to answer your question as hard as it is to believe there are 18 year olds who are bigger than 6' 1" 180. He's not going to transform into averaged size NHL player his size will always be a challenge, his skill will overcome a lot of it other than perhaps his ability to stay on the puck.
