Triumph Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 1 hour ago, Daniel said: You hear that the Bruins want to go big game hunting in free agency, like maybe Stone or Duchene, or perhaps even Karlsson if they make it there. Seems like you have to move out Backes to do that. Right, but they don't need to move all of his salary out to do that. They can give Chara a bonus-laden one-year deal and they can bridge McAvoy. That could leave them with $15M to sign everyone else, including one of those big names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Ehh that's a tough save but he's gotta stop letting in early stuff every single game. That being said, start him every game and lose for Hughes. Or play like caca for Kaako Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its not a save most people are making and honestly he got over pretty fast. I just was referring more to the stigma of letting in something early. There's not much he can do there realistically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDfan1711 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I don't really fault Cory for that one either. I mean, the guy was wide open and it was a one-timer, the only real issue with that is that it was a pass from the opposite corner across the crease, so you could make the argument that Cory should've been able to stop that one since the puck had to travel so far over. Also, how long before that Boure-Roult guy or whatever his name was is up in the NHL scoring goals for the Lightning against us, because that just seems to be what happens with them (and us).

I did need a break from watching them...since that 4-0 start, they’ve had a staggering number of just flat-out rotten games. Lately it’s been “Blake Coleman and bunch of other guys.” Right now I’m enjoying this layoff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the trade deadline less than a month away, I'm honestly more interested in the roster moves the Devils will do than any actual games on the schedule in the coming weeks. I sure hope Shero manages to sell off some pieces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple guys on expiring deals going out, couple picks coming in, and watching AHL forwards make up at least half of our 12 forwards every night.

Looking forward to movement on this team, but Schneider and Kinkaid is like having gum stuck to one shoe and sh!t on the other. Both really suck, but one is just harder to get rid of than the other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I wasted 7 hours on Sunday watching the Rams and Patriots win though. That Super Bowl is going to be the football equivalent of Rangers vs. Flyers for me (Seahawks fan) Once that's over though, all I'll have left is the miserable Devils so... you're right. The only compelling thing left is what assets we'll get and who goes for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can barely remember the arc of last season, Jesus. Besides the Streak and Lemaire's 2011 run, my memory of each season is pretty much "we didn't make the playoffs, and we lost to Columbus". I'm exaggerating, of course, but that's all exceptional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of like rule so that each team is represented, and although it can be a sort of pity invite in some situations, I think in this case either Hall or Palms deserved to go. When Hall was healthy he was having a pretty good year, and Palms has certainly had a pretty exceptional year too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
