You’d think there was no talent on this roster whatsoever or nothing at all to build around. The ‘sky is falling through the ground’ takes get old after a while. You’d think we’re the fvcking Coyotes with the way some of you go on. Coyotes only made the playoffs 1 time since 2012 as well. Our dog sh!t team ain't that much different than them at this point. I don't even feel like it's the sky is falling but until this team goes out and proves it's not dog sh!t I won't be holding my breath. The team sent out an email asking what we think of the team going forward, "extremely pessimistic" was an option and that's what I picked. I'm sick of watching losing hockey for a decade. If there is no progress next season we need to really clean house again. I definitely admit I'm getting more and more like @DevsMan84in thinking that our owners really don't give a sh!t.

He had bounced around a lot but there’s always a taker. Everyone knows post-COVID you need a third goalie option, and Wedgewood was perfect for that, semi-reliable at a very low cost. I think the NHL needs to revise the waiver rules for a third goalie in the future. Teams should be able to have a designated 3rd goalie that can be called up without risking waivers for sending them back down, especially considering how many Ebugs have been dressing the last few years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much. Keller is a good player, but overall - they’re not even close to what the Devils already currently have in the NHL, or in their pipeline. It’s full on doom and gloom to even try to suggest they’re remotely the same based purely off standings or playoff appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you but I admit I'm a bit sick of this team in general, just an overall sourness in terms of everything on and off the ice. I'm tired of talking about how next season is finally gonna be the season that this franchise finally turns it around. I'll believe it when I see it at this point. I have no faith in Ruff or our goaltending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you don't stick around for the intermission reports but ESPN is absolute trash. They have those dinosaurs Messier and Chelios putting everyone to sleep while TNT has some actual character and it's actually fun to watch. ESPN has also been pretty terrible with replays not showing some of the action that you miss during the live game stream. But they do have those sick cameras down in the d-zone boards for the faceoffs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devlman Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) My issue with ESPN, besides Hextall, Mr. Crybaby, McDonagh, the network itself for that matter…is the audio of the games is terrible. The crowds and sounds of the game are so muted. Is anyone honestly surprised ESPN put such little effort into hockey?

You can definitely argue the merits of him calling the SCF though; I’d prefer a Kenny Albert or a John Forslund or a Dave Gosher calling this series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
