Remember when the Devils first drafted Jack, and he looked like he was maybe 14? He’s really grown up since then…he almost looks 16 these days. He really does seem like that nice down-to-earth neighborhood kid that everyone likes…I can’t picture him ever going full adult. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crisis Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Regarding the attendance.. The arena was an absolute mess. At least half of the concession stands were closed and the ones that were open had the bare minimum number of people working. Lines were long, slow, and a few of the carts had run out of beer while we were waiting. I'm guessing the labor shortage hit them pretty hard and they couldn't get anyone to work. You would think that opening night would be the one game of the season that they would have all the concessions open, instead it felt like Disney on Ice. But anyway, this could have been a reason why a lot of the seats were empty during the anthem and when the periods started. I missed the Hawk's first goal while I was waiting in line for a beer that ended up being a bud seltzer. No one has mentioned it yet but Studenic had a solid game. He was getting involved in the corners, winning battles, and just looked like a solid 4th liner. I was never really impressed by him until this game. White looked better than expected too. Oh yeah, and Bernier was a beast. Great pickup this summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if he looked 14 when we drafted him 2 years ago. He'd look 16 today. That checks out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That checks out That's flawed logic. If it took him 18 years to look like he was alive for 14 years, why do you think the most recent 2 years would be linear? By that math he should still look like a 15 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 When we drafted him, he looked like his mom was still taking him for haircuts and making sure that he showered. Now he looks like a kid that went away for college and he has to take care of himself and he’s failing miserably. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewskies Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I am late in posting that I was please with the Devils' first game. Hughes was awesome. Andreas Johnsson was active and scored. Hamilton scores in .17 seconds. WOW Very enjoyable and entertaining game for the start of the season. I expect more excitement and wins to come. Go Devils 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Mercer must have gotten a new apartment and his family is in town to see him play a few games. So that gives them more time to help him setting things up and they'll spend extra money in NJ so it's helping the economy. All good in the end.

DevsMan84 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I hate "celly" as well. In fact, I think I hate just about every word of hockey lingo that has come out in the past decade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
