    Basketball Rutgers Basketball wing Gavin Griffiths enters Transfer Portal

    Now up to 77% of the roster being turned over next year, including walk-ons. Major talent infusion or not, this is going to require Pike's best work yet.

    OT: NJ Devils 2023-2024 Thread

    Ruff played Timo through injury (which he acknowledged) and egregiously misused him. Since becoming a fixture in the top-6 and on the PP, he has 25 points in 17 games. He leads the NHL in goal scoring in March. Timo Meier doesn't crack the top 20 concerns I have with this team looking forward.

    OT: NJ Devils 2023-2024 Thread

    My point was more about them riding white hot goaltending and high-end scoring into the playoffs. How long that continues is another question, but that can often carry teams in the Spring. Granted they looked awful vs. OTT, but they played 2 very strong games vs. PIT and WPG just prior. They...

    Hughes, Hischier, Meier and Bratt have combined for SEVENTY TWO points over the last 15 games. Allen and Kahkonen have combined for a 2.39 GAA and a .928 save percentage in their 9 games. They profile as a team that no one would want to face in the playoffs right now. But this is why you don't...

    Welp - make it 3-1-0 with a .946 save pct and a 1.76 GAA for Jake Allen. It's amazing how much more confidence this team plays with with actual goaltending behind them. They played a hell of a game against one of the league's best last night. The brothers, Hughes, looked the best they have in a...

    14 games left in this miserable season. Here's what I'd like to see: Shut Jack Hughes down - clearly fighting the shoulder to the point he cant take FOs Nolan Foote should be playing every night - no reason Chris Tierney should be seeing the ice at this point Santeri Hatakka should be playing...

    GAME 32 MARYLAND: They shoot horses don't they

    90-69 (50-50) since the start of 2019-20. Far better than we were yes, but no more taking comfort in “competitive” basketball next year.

    He's impactful alright - 54 PIM in 56 minutes on the ice. He's a sideshow. I'm not saying he can't/won't develop into something more, but that means he has to grow up. Acting the way he acted last night, 10 games into his career, is going to get him or his teammates hurt. Though last night he...

    OT: 2024 NY Giants Off Season Thread

    Good day yesterday. Barkley's production at ages 27-29 can be replaced by someone not making $13M. Let Philly give him that money. Barkley seems like a good guy, but enough already. They won 35 of 100 games with him on the roster. Time to move on. Fixing the OL should be priorities 1 through 3...

    I expect nothing from Parros. I'd set the O/U at 0.5 games that Rempe will get as a "first time offender." It's been open season on the Devils for years. This whole situation was handled poorly. Why not let MacDermid at Rempe? Let the players police themselves. This was the 3rd time in 3 games...

    Yes, you're correct. No 2023-24 game stipulation. Allen apparently neds a US working visa before he can join the NJD.

    I don't dislike the Allen deal because of the player. He's a serviceable backup next year and MTL retaining 50% will keep them from having to scrape together for a #1 next year. (I want no part of Markstrom IF there's a realistic shot at Saros or Ullmark.) The conditions are what's problematic...

    Lousy return AND retaining salary for the leading goal scorer on the market. We can be honest. Fitzgerald has has done a terrible job since they were eliminated last May.

    Nothing was a bigger guarantee than Meier figuring it out in a real role. He will be just fine here. Lindy is a hockey criminal.

    It's a little alarming that Fitzgerald is still talking about buying by Friday's deadline. They're 2-6-0 since the Stadium Series "turning point" and 9-14-2 since 1/5. They're as close to 15th in the East as they are to the final Wild Card spot. Barring a 16-4-0 finish, they are burnt toast...

    Without Brunette at his side (who has NSH on an 8-game winning streak with an AHL roster), Lindy Ruff has won 76 of 199 games in NJ across nearly 3 full seasons. He should have been gone in December. To fire him now is a slap in the face to the fanbase. At least he won't have to worry about...
