Started really late this off-season, needs to post more to catch up and he'll be in mid-season form in no time! /s I said this many times. The problem with Subban has always been his decision making. He could bench press 800lbs 10 times in 10 seconds. Won't make him a better hockey player. I want to see him post videos of him watching tapes and trying to get smarter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always played with Markov and Price in MTL who covered for his mistakes a million times. And he was not playing against top competition, would be only sent off on offensive zone faceoffs, wouldnt play to protect lead, didn't play on the PK, etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 This is the first time since Bratt broke into the league where I would describe his play as just straight up bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Happy to see Daws get the win. Kid played out of his mind and should be, undisputedly, ahead of Wedgewood on the Devils goalie depth chart. I would prefer to never see Wedgewood in a Devils jersey ever again but I would settle for him being 4th string. Devils got better as the game went on. On one hand, I am glad Ruff was able to identify the issues and change up the lines to spark them. On the other hand he calls for that dumb coach's challenge that was obvious that the goalie's pad was pushed in. Tatar and Nico were non-factors until Ruff changed up the lines which seemed to spark them. In the meantime, Bratt was bad and Sharangovich was a no-show for the 4th straight game. If Sharangovich is to meet the expectations of the Reddit crowd, he better start scoring a lot and in a hurry. He's slowly turning into a Brunner/Gusev 2.0. Severson had a strong game after an awful last game. I am expecting him to have another completely brutal game in another 2-4 games. I still like what I see from Mercer and Johnsson. Johnsson is really making a statement this season. Making nice plays with and without the puck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdgeControl Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 RWJ Barnabas better rethink sponsoring our PP. If they operate like the devils PP, people are going to die on the table. Good win, good effort.. horrible decision by ruff on the challenge 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I'm not getting too too pumped for Daws cause well we've seen this before and knowing how inconsistent goalies can be. But it is still exciting that he at least showed he can handle the NHL level. And would be even more amazing if he could be a legit NHL goalie, he'd be a great 3rd goalie and replacement for Bernier in time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For context, Blackwood didn’t play a single game in the NHL until he was 22. And he was considered young at the time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Great comeback win, great job by the Nicos, one fighting through some pain to score a goal and the other doing incredible in his first start. Awesome win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past few years he’s started slow and then turned it on. The Devils have to pray for that so they can grab a 3rd for him at the deadline, but I’m just not seeing it happen this year. He’s the worst player on the ice for the Devils every time he’s out there. I really like the player, I really like the person, but it’s time to move on. I have to imagine that’s in the plans for this season. I would expect that by December, we’re going to start hearing about him being on the block. The question becomes, who fills that spot? Guys like Jaros are not the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care about getting an asset for Subban. I'd like to see him be good enough to help us make a playoff push in the spring. If he's not good enough to do that, then he's worthless to us and anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 2 hours ago, MB3 said: I don’t disagree with any of what you said but Sharangovich is 23; Brunner was 27 and Gusev 28. He’s got an elite shot, good vision and hands and then not a whole lot else going for him yet, but I’m not ready to put him in that category. He’s playing with McLeod and Kuokkonen; not exactly two guys known for their play making. Jack really drives that line and i think without jack a shakeup is needed. Im done with Bratt; though. This is a guy that jukes one guy out of his socks per game making fans go “ooooooooo” and then is totally invisible. He doesn’t deserve a single shift on the top line right now and I hope his leash is getting shorter. He’s one of those guys that you watch as a rookie and say “wow he’s got all the potential in the world” and then you watch him in his fifth (!!???) season and say “wow he’s got all the potential in the world.” Dawson Mercer is the real deal and should see 2nd line center minutes until Jack is back. We’re pretty much on the same page, re: Bratt. Starting to feel like he’ll never be more than a guy who keeps on teasing that he’ll be someday be more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bratt has almost 5 times the amount of points Tedenby had in the NHL in less than twice the games. Even if Bratt is a 35-40 point player (which I feel he can surpass even), he's miles ahead of the player Tedenby ever was. I know some are down on Bratt right now after 4 games this season, but Bratt was on pace for a 53 point full season just last year. I'd wait before throwing the towel on him. He can still be a useful player, and he just turned 23. Edited October 24, 2021 by Devs3cups 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
