Nicomo 7,093 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Yep. I loved Madden. Easily my favorite Devils player who’s jersey isn’t hanging in the rafters at the Rock. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There’s a good argument for that. I once helped him pick out a tie while shopping in Bloomingdale’s in the Short Hills Mall. I then bought the same one lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brewskies 61 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 3 hours ago, mfitz804 said: The 8 year deal is the only reason he came close to 202 goals. Aside from a couple seasons with Parise, did he even have 20 in a season? No, I don't think so but he has in my opinion been the most consistent player the Devils have had over his tenure with the Devils. He has been a solid two way center that played 5 on 5 and PK. I just think he deserves a little love from a fan. So I pointed out his accomplishments. Do you agree regarding him or not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like Travis a lot. He has been consistent scoring goals in the teens per season for years. The only point I was making was that it was more his longevity than his offensive prowess that led to 202 goals. I don’t think anyone can legitimately dispute that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crisis 760 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Speaking of Madden, I always think about this assist he had on probably the nicest shorty Gionta has scored. (Warning: This video was probably filmed using a toaster) And side note, when I was looking for that replay, I found this and goddamn, it really brought up some feels.

Aside from losing his jock on that one play last night, yeah, I would have kept him in over Maltsev. And I would have kept them both over Johnsson. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NJDevils1214 3,340 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Merkley looked pretty good earlier in the season when they played him. I don't think he's looked as good the last couple times they moved him from the taxi squad, but I'm not sure what they're expecting out of the kid. He barely had a handful of NHL games before this season and I agree on having him and Maltsev over Johnson right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevsMan84 2,384 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Merkley was on the ice for I believe 3 of the 5 goals against last night. He has "heart" I guess and does some good things along the boards, but even with the eye test he looks iffy a lot of times and from what I understand his underlying numbers aren't great. Plus with Nico coming back this move had to be made. No one is going to pick up Merkley. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mfitz804 12,443 Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 So rumor has it that Holtz is going to come on over now that his SHL season is over. And there is one more Reverse Retro game. Whoever bought that Holtz #88, the pieces could fall into place for you... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember when Zacha got his first games a few seasons back at the end of the season, that was cool. I'd love to see a Hughes to Smith to Holtz for the one-timer on the PP Edited April 9 by Devs3cups 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfitz804 12,443 Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 I mean he’s 19, his SHL season is done, put him to work. Whether it’s on the big club or in the AHL, get him working toward contributing next season. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
