I mean that should be the last thing that's missing for guys trying to make it at this level, no? Smith is the kind of kid that leads and does so by example. He his own toughest critic and put too much pressure on himself this camp. He's overthinking, not being lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans04 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I hear you guys but I'll take the coach at his word. Something they fully expected to see is missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its amazing that a 19 year old having a rough camp is immediately labeled lazy or unmotivated. Like you said, he probably came into camp putting a ton of pressure on himself and isn't just playing his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vadvlfan Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 There used to be a guy (from old AOL chat rooms) names Kyydax. I think he was ousted from here. He was a Marty hater & a HeartlessMeyer (Niedemayer) thinking Needs played with no heart. Just out for a Sunday stroll. This wouldn't be Ty Smith for sure.

Crazy hearing someone describe Scott like that. Now Rob on the other hand .... his time with NJ still makes me get all stabby. He and Rolston on the ice together was a special level of infuriating 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the game an announcement was made to promote Nied's jersey retirement in December. When the announcement was made there was a guy who was wearing a Crazies jersey who kept shouting "traitor!" throughout the promo. So yeah, there are idiots like that but thankfully they are a small minority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never liked those guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis takes shots at NJ Devils here and there, but he grew up a Flyers fan so there is that. He never goes overboard with it too. FWIW, I miss Casey and Rossi. I remember when they got canned (well just Casey technically) in 2011 and Casey went on social media all pissed off about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not the type to get offended at things, but if you're going to be offensive at least be funny. Dennis and Judy say some tactless stuff that I think falls well short of "comedy".

People booed Gionta when he came back from Montreal, people booed Paul Martin when he came back here from Pens. Lou refused to pay what they could get when it was their time UFA, Well that's ok, but you should always sign with the Devils for far less (which was Lou's choice) Lou let them walk, blame Lou, not the player. I had no problem letting them walk. Like Gomer, if someone is willing to pay you more than your supposed worth, so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really think many cared that they left, especially Martin even though I always liked him. If they did they certainly didn't get booed to the extent that Gomez, Holik, Nieds, Parise and Kovy did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I was at Gio's first game back and not only did he not get booed, he got some cheers. And Martin leaving was kinda meh. He was hurt a lot at the end of his run here (part of why he left) so I don't think he was looked at like a traitor or anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDfan1711 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Wait, so Ty Smith really isn't making the team this year? Wow, that's majorly disappointing. I don't feel quite as good about our D now. Subban definitely helps a ton, but we need to make sure Butcher, Severson, and Vatanen have good years, because Greene is most likely only going to continue to decline, and whoever ends up being the 6th is going to be a wildcard (Carrick, Mueller, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a couple of games to plead his case and possibly 9 in the regular season. I also think Greene is perfectly fine in a more limited role. It looked to me like they were getting Butcher ready to take that Greene role last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do need a guy like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
