Nicomo Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 9 hours ago, Devilsfan118 said: Don't jump at me here - but I hold Zacha and Bratt in the same sort of category, as far as guys with enough talent to be really good players in this league but have yet to prove they can consistently do it for multiple seasons. Now, this year Bratt seems to be on another level and it sure doesn't seem like he's going to disappear in Feb-April. Zacha though seems like he's fading per his usual routine. Zacha as a consistent 40-50 guy - sounds great. Just don't think he's proven he can do it. I’m jumping at you! It’s a bad comparison. Bratt is a far, far better hockey player. My eye test tells me that, the advanced stats tell me that, his production tells me that (Bratt - 0.61 PPG - Zacha 0.45 PPG). Bratt is a line driver that has played well with pretty much any line mates he’s had. Zacha however seemed to only be at his best with none other than…Bratt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 All of the rescheduled Devils games...of course, hard to think that there won't be more postponements before the season ends (some games have actually been pulled IN, to open up dates for other games): 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsfan118 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) Edit: Grabbed an old post, whoops. Anyway, general point was that I'm really starting to think Blackwood is just dumb as rocks. His comments after the game last night were.. not great. Edited January 20 by Devilsfan118 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks to be a player though, cramming all these extra games in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Dineen come up and work with this mentally Charmin 10-ply Ultra Soft team and if he’s not the right fit, let him go back to Utica next season.

DevsMan84 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 It's almost February. At this point, I am expecting him to do nothing about Ruff and to mostly focus on being a seller at the trade deadline. In other words, same sh!t that Fitz/Shero have been doing for the past few years. Any action on Ruff that would have been meaningful would have happened before the new year. Instead, either him, ownership, or both are comfortable with punting yet another season away. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won’t be doing a thing. It’s yet another year of selling at the deadline, and staring at top prospect lists, and cheering for ping pong balls. But hey at least we were sorta in the race until January this time so everything’s good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, either him, ownership, or both are comfortable with punting yet another season away. The Flyers changing coaches ultimately didn't pay off (after an initial surge), but at least they fvcking TRIED to shake things up. And were able to recognize that Vigneault was no longer the right guy. Yeah, like MD2020 just said, just seems like there's this passive acceptance of losing, and with Shero/Fitz, it's the same chain of events: make some offseason moves and hope they pay off...if they don't, oh well, preach patience and "trusting the process", then do little to nothing until the deadline, sell off what you can, then maybe next year it will be different. I feel like I'm among the most patient of Devils fans, and even I've finally had enough. That absolutely putrid disaster of a game vs the Yotes should have been the final straw for Retread and the Retards. But nope, they apparently get to keep on fvckin' up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 The culture of the Devils right now comes from all the way at the top. Do you think Reynolds puts any sort of pressure on Fitz? Do you think Weber puts any pressure on Reynolds? Do you think Harris/Blitzer put any pressure on Weber? By the way things appear, the answer is no to all three. This sort of apathy eventually trickles down to the players and here we are at. We have a team that seemingly is OK to punt season after season, have a press corps of just team employees, cheaps out on things that requires no cap ceiling or, more importantly, floor (coaching) and seems to care little about maintaining arena outside of window dressing and ways to squeeze every penny out of every fan. 33 minutes ago, MadDog2020 said: I’m so tired of this garbage.

MB3 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 So I've been checked out of hockey for weeks now, and my buddy from Philly was texting me that the Flyers now have TWO different 10-game losing streaks this season. Which made me laugh. And then I looked at the standings. Which made me cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much every team I loathe is good (except the Flyers), and we blow. It’s honestly not even fun at this point.
