NJDevil1530 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I just went over to the HF board and the Kings fans seem to be getting very bitter about us getting Kovy. "All I can honestly say at this point is that I hope the Devils' fans need some crying towels tomorrow. I used to admire that team, not so much now." - KINGS17 "Haha, same. Devils used to be 1 of my fav East teams, but i hate them now, all because they signed a player. So petty and childish, I love it" - sw1tch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides Susanna Hoffs being a total babe, I keep running thru Manic Monday in my head and changing it to something like this: I apologize in advance to the writer of the real song and to anyone who now gets this stuck in their head too. To the Bangles everyone 39 days already I was just in the middle of a dream Kovy was kissin Lord Stanley Wearing NJ Red White and Green But I just can’t wait Cause I want Ilya to get paid These are the days when You wish the Devils already had it made It’s just another August Sunday I wish it were MONDAY! That’s Bloch has gotta talkday No more delaysday Man! I just wish it were Monday!! Have to catch the early news Waiting for his decision is really tough If Dick announced it now It still wouldn’t be soon enough ‘Cause we been waiting so long Since the 1st day in July Blame it on Lou But Buttman is the real bad guy All of these contracts Why did Gary pick this one To shoot down Doesn’t matter now Just get the arbitrator to say YES We didn't violate the CBA Lou says in his GM voice C’MON Kovy!

Colin226 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I think you need a couple more "yay" smileys after the argh/unsure. The first set of rant/upset is when they reported Kovy didn't sign with the Devils after (N)Єverson's sh!t reporting. We need another set for when Kovy signed the 17/102, which is followed by the "ugh" smileys at the NHL rejecting the contract. Show me what you mean and I'll update it.. The first rant part is for when he went to LA and we were sure he was a King.. The set of smilies seperated by slashes / is for the signing, which is followed by the rant sequence for the rejection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 This from Fischler MSG: D-Day for Devils, Kovalchuk http://www.msg.com/our-teams/devils/d-day-for-devils-kovalchuk-1.47880 However, there's an equally sound reason why the Devils have gone to war with the league and it all has to do with a franchise-revamping. Even since the club's 1995 first-of-three Stanley Cup championships, the organization's marketing face has been Martin Brodeur, holder of so many goaltending records that Georges Vezina must be doing backflips in his grave. But, unlike Methuselah, Brodeur cannot play goal into the next century. Father Time simply won't allow it. With that in mind, the club is re-molding its former defensive image with both Kovalchuk and Zach Parise as the center-stage offensive glamour boys with a solid supporting cast behind them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrdevil Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Watch the wording of the tweets. Kovy staying a Devil could mean they have agreed to a new deal if the decision goes the other way (and that is something more likely to be leaked than an arbitrators decision). Of course while that is not bad, winning the arbitration case is better because a restructured contract would be a higher cap hit (limiting further offseason moves). I'm not going to celebrate just yet. I'm skeptical of these tweets. They may not mean what some are thinking they mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
