CarpathianForest Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 This team is good, they're just a bit rough around the edges. Recchi and Nas need to be shown the door though 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but I don't think his spot is in immediate jeopardy and that he will be allowed to play his way out of it. There may come a point where he will be a healthy scratch or sent Utica but I believe Ruff will be patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I have watched Dawson Mercer's goal about 5 times now. He completely sold Vasilevskiy down the river with the look and the head fake. It's so fvcking clever. It's not only skillful it's so smart. Still trying not to get too excited with him , but it's hard not to, he is just so good. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the star players. I think it's OK to get excited, I mean, I certainly believe what I'm seeing. Not to say there won't be a slump somewhere along the way. There might be. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs it. Yes, absolutely. But like I said, I think the leash will be long because of how important a player he is in the Devils organization. He needs to play and he may need to take some lumps at the NHL level. That is certainly what is happening now, as he is not playing with poise or confidence. There are a couple ways to fix this, and one way is to demote him and let him regain his confidence against lesser competition. Or, he could take his lumps, figure it out up here, and reap the benefits of doing that if he succeeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it's absolutely stupid to give him the start a game after getting lit up. Ruff needs to make better decisions. Stupid fvcking take. See 3rd period for reference.

SterioDesign Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) So i just saw a video that leaked after the game. Ruff is really taking a page from the Mighty Ducks movies. The video was taken down so i'm just going to describe what happened to the best of my ability. The guys were sitting in the locker room, clearly looking down and frustrated. Then Ruff walked in, looking very serious and gave a short speech (im going to paraphrase). "What i saw out there through 2 periods was Devils hockey. We played our game but against these guys, we need more. So who are we?!?" Then i think it was Mercer who stood up and shouted "WE ARE THE DEVILS". Then Ruff turned in his direction with a smirk. Then in one movement unzipped his jacket, dropping it to the ground, revealing him wearing the new black jersey. He went "We. Are. Jersey." Then Sharangovich stood up, walked slowly towards Ruff, they appeared to be sharing a moment looking at each others intensely. Then Igor turned around and looked at all the boys and went "WE. ARE. JERSEY!!" Then the boys all got up and cheered JERSEY! JERSEY! JERSEY! heading into the tunnel. Then, they went out there for the 3rd and as we know... the rest is history. Edit: I'll see if i can find the video again. Edited November 21, 2021 by SterioDesign 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What scares me is this "jersey" thing pairing up with the stupid "third" leaked.... could really be real.... gross.... The jersey that is, not our team coming together, that part is freaking amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevsMan84 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 The Cadillac trivia question in this game was who was the last Devil to score 4 goals in a game. The answer was Zubrus back against the Lightning on 11/23/08. Here is the jersey Zubrus wore that is photomatched to him wearing it in that game. It is his 08-09 white set 1 gamer.
