Are other bottom-dwellers bad across the board? Are the Devils atypical in that if they had a goaltender and someone who could actually score goals they'd be a bubble team? I mean this is the one for the Sens. We are ranked slightly above even with our horrific goaltending. It looks like we are worse than them across board.

They have a ton of good young talent with potential. But they have to learn how to play in the NHL and develop. That being said it's also a coincidence that we're the same and why i'll never put too much into stats. There's just no context with stats. Is the team struggling with injuries? Bad coaching? Learning a new system? etc etc. Like we could have another team at the bottom with us that'd just be a team full of old vets not getting it done anymore. So while the stats by themselves are the same. The context and the future of both teams are completely different. I still think the Sens and Devils are on the way up.

Not to sound insensitive, purely speculating here as one does on a message board, but I wonder if his dad's health has played into the situation with the Devils. Can't imagine Fitz, or anyone with some semblance of a heart, would want to fire someone when they are going through something like this. Couldn’t imagine so, honestly, although that a nice thought. Let’s keep in mind, as we should all obviously know, the team going to the post season only creates a lot more revenue for the team and ownership. Sold out games plus concessions etc. they wouldn’t jeopardize that for one person, that’s downright business. Them not going to the playoffs because they lack the depth of talent etc for the past decade, well that’s another thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he sick a long time. or is it just a situation where an 88 year old man just passed away because he was 88 and that happens? Obviously it makes no difference in terms of how sad it is, but if we are speculating as to whether it affected his game or was a reason that the team hasn't fired him, I think its a fair follow-up question. Not to sound insensitive either, but i generally really don't like girls with those very short square bang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessus Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Siegenthaler has continued to play very well this season. With Graves becoming more involved offensively lately, I wonder if Ruff tries Siegenthaler-Hamilton as the top pair once Dougie comes back. We can see what Siegenthaler does with a top defenseman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem like we’re probably halfway there to having a good defense (Dougie, Graves, Siegenthaler). Where the other 3 will come from I have no idea. You would hope at least one of the kids in Utica like Okhotiuk or Walsh will eventually pan out, and I’m not completely giving up on Ty Smith yet either. But that still leaves them needing at least one or two more pieces back there. Can’t keep rolling with guys like Colton White and Jaros. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still hold out hope that Ty Smith can work through this season. I honestly think a lot of this is on the coaching. But until that changes we won't know. I really hope Walsh gets a look at some point. He has earned it this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had the same coaching last year during his ‘breakout’ so that doesn’t wash for me. We’ve already seen a lot of these offensive defensemen be one and done after the league sees them once - Butcher, Gelinas, I had hopes Ty wouldn’t fall in that category but… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
