OT: NJ Devils 2023-2024 Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Why do you only seem to post when they’re losing? And go silent when they win?? Your schtick is getting old.
I hate to call him that cause like I’ve said before..I’ve had plenty of good convos with him.
But I do agree his posts lately are very troll like. Sad.
Sometimes the Devils fall in love with their pretty passing plays and forget to shoot.
Give Edmonton credit, they are playing a smart home game. Their goalie has been very good. If the Devils don't start winning the back half of these back to backs, we will be lucky to grab a wildcard.
Rumblings in SoCal about the Devils dealing for Gibson (G) of the Ducks.

He is very knowledgeable about hockey. However, he feels the need to troll. It is kind of sad!
I have no problem with 3 out of 4 on a West Coast trip.
Go silent? You’re funny. 😂
They stunk today.
How about trying someone that likes to shoot on the power play , such as Miller
Yes, take that every time.
I would have preferred they played better today and maybe got to OT
Metro Division is vicious and the other teams ahead keep getting points
When will someone else aside from me have the balls to say it out loud.
Timo is not right. Was it the Trouba hit last playoffs? Something else physically ?
He’s a non-factor and for this team to even think about the playoffs that has to change quickly.

You hammer them for a bad pass, one bad power play, etc. You do this in games they win. I will accept your multitude of criticisms if you are willing to admit you root against them. No fan of a team is as critical as you are!
Bruh, what?
too much tin foil on ya if you think I’m not a fan of this team. I may be the teams biggest fan. I just wear my emotions on my sleeve.
I still fail to understand why you are so critical. Also, you purport to bet against them on numerous occasions
The handful of times I bet against them in game , I’ve won the bets.
I’m not a novice sports bettor.
This team is an above average goalie, a physical/good defenseman and an upgrade to Bastian from being darn good.
Our GM has botched this season so far though and we’re in a perilous spot
A very accurate post! Please wait until they lose a game before you hammer them.
Agree with the needs. But you do realize there’s a wide gap between being “darn good” and as you love to say here plenty times “terrible”…
I think everyone else on this board realizes they’re somewhere between “darn good and terrible”…except you. Which is fine, but no need to continue to rehash your feelings, especially during and after WINS. Makes you just look like a troll.
Sometimes you just have to tip your cap, the Devils didn't let this game slip away, they got beat. It is games like this one in Edmonton, that makes those loses like the one to Columbus so bad.
If they don't start winning the back half of these back to backs, we will look back with disgust at year's end. Fitz needs to stop playing with himself and earn his money.

Didn’t you say a week or two ago there’s no one good to acquire?
What would you like Fitz to do if you think that?
No.
Fitz had a chance this Summer to solidify your roster, but instead of signing good players to fill spots he signed an overrated bust(Timo )to a long term contract
Who would you have liked him to sign? The free agency class was pretty bad this summer…
Take some time today and educate yourself on who was available on July 1 and who’s available now. We’d be much better if Fitz didn’t stand pat and brought in good depth to replace Graves, Severson , Wood and tatar . Tierney, Bowers, Cal Foote ? Lol
I’d reverse that Timo deal in a second.
He’s just terrible
Will do…Can you give me names which “good players” you wanted him to sign in the offseason?
Whatever I say you’ll come back with YEAH BUT excuses to defend Fitz
Homey don’t play that game
But I’ll give you one, Gustaffson on defense
Gustaffson is having a hell of a season and may turn out to be the steal of the summer for the rangers. Agree.
I saw this all the time with the Tier 2 organization I worked for, kids would age out of youth hockey, a few would play college club, but most just stopped playing entirely and would then reach out to me like 5-10 years later asking to join our adult league. A lot just burn out after so many years of being on the ice 4 or 5 times a week, and then in their late teens and early 20s find other ways to spend their time. We also had a weekly adult clinic that had a bunch of beginners but also had guys in their 50s who stopped playing after high school and wanted to get back on the ice. Locally there is a guy who didn't start playing until his 50s, will be turning 80 in a few months, and still shows up to weekday morning open hockey twice a week. He has also taken it upon himself to make sure there are two goalies every time, which keeps everyone else coming.
Well as for Johnstone, he was playing Tier 1 growing up and was very good but I don't think anyone thought of him as an NHL prospect. You hit the nail on the head with the farce that is youth hockey tryouts. Usually the tryouts themselves are just a formality, and the main goal isn't to evaluate the kids, it's to get the parents to sign the contract while they're at the rink so that you lock them up before they attend a different team's tryout the next night. I'm not sure if it's like this up there, but in the Atlantic District, many teams hold "pre-tryout skates" a week or two beforehand which is where the parents bring their kid to check out a different team and the coaches start figuring out their rosters. This is technically against the rules because the players are still under contract with their current teams and therefore aren't allowed to participate in a different team's event yet, but everyone finds loopholes. Our team was owned by the rink, so we advertised it as the rink running a clinic rather than anything related to the team, but everyone knew what it was.
Back to the Devils, I didn't get to see yesterday's game, but I believe that is Edmonton's 7th straight win. Sometimes you just run into a team that is red hot.
Devils need more sandpaper and beef
Fitz must bring in some muscle or our star players won’t last the season

When Timo is healthy he brings that. He clearly isn't healthy currently
I agree we need more of it though, which makes Bastian sucking not great for us
