They’re in a weird spot. It looked like they had the perfect rebuild/retool with the combo of productive vets and a young core of Laf/Kakko/Fox and sh!t stork but now it almost seems like they should trade their future for immediate help and go for it now while zib, Krieder and Panarin are all still in their prime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our first homegrown superstar forward anyway. And certainly the most electrifying player we’ve had since Kovy. 2 hours ago, Devs64 said: Survived this time, but looked sloppy and disconnected all game. Good to get a W, but the slump is evident. Slump seems like a bit much considering they’re still finding ways to win (or at least get a point like against the Preds). They were never going to keep outshooting every team they played by almost double, or keep winning every game 5-2. Anyway, I just finished the game on the dvr, and I thought Wood had his best game in weeks. Nice to see after a pretty rough stretch, and with Bastian missing from that line. Hell of a game for Schmid, too. Hope he’s ok from that collusion at the end. He looked pretty shaken up when Vanecek came out to celebrate with him.

Rather, they just cooled off, but finding ways to get it done is definitely a huge positive. I'm just worried whether they'll be able to handle the entire season. Even though they've played well without Palat; and Schmid has exceeded all expectations, another big injury (God forbid) may actually expose their lack of depth. Interesting to see what the trade period will bring. Meanwhile I'm hoping they remain excited and motivated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a RR 2.0 hat because I have the jersey so I need a matching hat (I never wear the matching hats but I have them). Using the Black Friday coupon and the rewards dollars I got from buying the jersey, it was $20 shipped. Full price would have been $34.99 plus $4.99 shipping plus $1.99 handling. That’s just under $42 for a fvcking hat. Fanatics has ruined team merchandise. I don’t own a single Devils t-shirt anymore, and the only sweatshirt I have is a 47 Brand Marty retirement night hoodie that has never fit me since the day I bought it. But I have it. Never wear the hats with the jerseys or just never wear the hats period? If period then why bother buying them? The Devils bumped up the season ticket holder discount to like 20 percent off but even then it's still too expensive for t-shirts. There's no reason player t shirts should be $20, $25 tops. There's nothing special about them and they aren't even that nice of a material either. I surprisingly have a real low amount of Devils gear because of the prices of everything alone. I don't wear hats, I haven't bought a jersey since like 01. If prices were less obscene I'd own a lot more stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I decide to, I have one to match my jersey lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the definition of depth. They are winning without Palat, MB, and now Bastian. Zetterlund stepped and has been great. Schmid has been great. Bahl was solid and even got a goal. Hilts got a great goal too. That doesn’t include players they can call up from Utica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people want to argue Brodeur’s greatness because he played behind the greatest defensive dynasty in history, then Patty deserves credit for the 1000+ points he racked up by inducting him into the hall of fame. Patty is my favorite Devil of all-time. How many times did Bergeron get over 80 points with those 5 Selkes? If Patty had the same career in Boston, New York, Montreal, Toronto, St. Luis, to name a few, he would be in the Hall of Fame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree, I was merely pointing out the argument that people make. Which has some more credibility than the Marty argument. Nobody has ever credibly made that argument, only Rangers fans, and Devils haters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
