mfitz804 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Wood is and should be a third line player, but he’s capable of contributing a lot from that position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that you feel that he's underrated, and I'm not saying I necessarily disagree. I'm just saying that for whatever reason I kind of forgot about his presence on the team so far this season. Beyond that, I think perhaps one of the reasons why you or others see him as an impact player and valuable to the team highlights just how bad we have been and how much we're lacking true offensive threats. On most other teams, Wood would probably be a third line player, at best. Not trying to disrespect him, I like the guy a lot, just stating what I see/how I feel. I never said underrated or overrated. He's presence just isn't as forgettable as you made it out to be in your comment and wanted to point out he had a decent year last year by Wood/NJD standards. That is all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we're 3-2-0. Realistic expectations for this team were to be a bubble team maybe challenging for a wildcard spot. And well this is precisely what our record is so far.

I think people are just anticipating the worst. They may end up being very, very right, but I think that’s what’s happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

point Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I'd like to point out that the 2 Devils losses were to CGY and WAS, currently the 4th and 5th place teams in the league. With CAR undefeated, WAS and NYR off to good starts this division is going to be a tough year for a middling team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 yeah everything considered we did pretty damn good this season so far, pretty on par with expectations, even slightly higher. Sucks we're in a very tough division though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll freaking take being this close throughout the time without Jack yeah exactly. We're tied with 5 others teams right now so we could drop quite a few spots if we don't but wtv, very early. Obviously there's team below us like boston, islanders that we just know won't stay there over the season. I also assume Bufgalo, detroit and the rangers will drop eventually. hopefully the hurricanes too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuckDropper Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 hate to post a my son heard from his friend, who was Miles Woods roomate in college- i know, one of these But he just heard from Miles, will be having hip surgery- out 6mths or more. And that Jacks evaluation will be one where his shoulder either makes great/complete progress by Dec, or he may be done, also with a procedure- will decide then.

PuckDropper Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 i know- we actually heard from this kid 2 weeks ago that Miles wasnt coming back, but i thought it may be one of those he/she saids, but he just heard from him today.

mfitz804 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I suppose it could equally mean he’s recovered to where he doesn’t need a sling, or he’s derailing his recovery by not wearing the sling even though he needs it. I prefer to believe the former. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
