Devs3cups Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Funny how Rangers fans were saying that Hughes was a bust last year, but to give Lafreniere time this year lol. It is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is what it is. They’ve got plenty to worry about themselves (in the very early going)...starting with their goalies not exactly brickwalling it at the moment. Sadly it felt like some of our own crowd felt that Jack might be a bust too (and this comment isn’t directed at anyone in particular). Glad he’s off to a strong start.

Nicomo Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I know we’re all killing Palms right now, but this is kind of interesting... we actually have 2 lines on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Palms, that’s what I was talking about before. His numbers look much better than his actual game has been. If you saw his stats without watching him play, you’d wonder why he’s getting so heavily criticized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devs3cups Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Bratt coming back tomorrow if he passes a positive test? That's fvcking good news. Him, Vats and Nico will give us a huge boost. EDIT: Team is taking the day off tomorrow, but he'll be cleared to join the team if he passes the test.

Chuck the Duck Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Devils optioned Merkeley to the taxi squad and added Bratt to the active roster. Not sure if that means he will play tonight, but he is close to a return to the lineup, which should help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought they'd have him practice for a bit before jumping right in but maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevils1214 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Not sure where to vent this but I listen to the All About the Jersey/Garden State of Hockey podcast and some days it is really hard with how much this one guy mispronounces every name in the book. Idk how someone can watch that much hockey and pronounce some of these names the way he does. I enjoy the podcast but it's just super annoying. /rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy the podcast but it's just super annoying. /rant i'm fairly certain this is Fisher's (it's his site) shtick that we all missed as the podcast has been around for a while. its either a complete mispronunciation like "mic-LOD" instead of "mick-CLOUD' or wrong syllabic emphasis like su-BAHN instead of SU-ban. he doesn't do it with everyone but there's just enough to make it seem like he doesn't actually follow the team that much (which of course he does). i've learned to get past it as they're takes and comments are about 75% right on which is a higher percentage than most.

Rob_Ottawa Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 fvck this bullsh!t season already. Off to a great start then lose two key players already, while our top centre still nursing a supposed minor foot injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
