OT: NJ Devils 2023-2024 Thread

According to Ellotte Friedman, while no official word, Jack will miss some time, but the worst case scenario has been avoided. He put it on X, I heard it courtesy of the Woo Report.

The Devils should win, but that said Chicago beat Florida tonight for their 4th victory. I like that they will be on a back-to-back tomorrow.

Go Devils, we still have great firepower!

What does this mean? I guess specifically with is the injury and what was worst case scenario? How long will Hughes be out for?

Very cryptic message which is frustrating but I guess as a Devils fan seems to be good news.

No official word yet, hopefully tonight. I took it as no severe concussion or broken clavicle/neck. Of course it still could be worse than a few games, with that.

Broken neck. Yikes. Never even considered that. I was thinking more like separated shoulder / broken collarbone etc. that hopefully did not occur.
Crossing fingers and hoping for the best !

If he had broken his collarbone or neck, I don’t he would never have been able to go out for the next shift like he did. So I was never really worried about that.

I feared something more internal as he went into the boards hard..but good to hear this from. Friedman
 
Devils heavy favorites tonight despite what one poster is arguing, lol. -225.

A loss today and it’s not good.
 
Still clueless if you expect a Devils win tonight.

Predict your score for tonight right now chief. Go ahead.

I’m not in the prediction game, chief.

Im clueless yet the money line is -225 for devils to win??

Guess there’s a whole lotta clueless people out there
 
Of course you’re not Troll Boy

Don’t know why my view is controversial, my man…

Devils are a -225 favorite. If they lose tonight, it’s not good.

there roster, even without Jack and nico, is night and day better than Blackhawks. They need to play 3 full periods, they need solid goaltending, and they should win easily. Not sure how anyone who calls themselves a hockey could disagree here…

Proud's only goal in life is to post more than anybody on the boards. He does his best to use one or two syllable words so as to make more posts. Be nice to the bruh. His is a sad existence.

Don’t think he’s a bad guy. Actually have had good chats with him outside this thread…

I do laugh at some of his devils takes and will make it known when I disagree.
 
Sometimes we do things just because it works as a good luck charm, unlike in the past, now we all want the Devils to win.

Hopefully there are no broken bones, but there are ways to break ( or fracture bones including the neck ) and not realize it at first. Unlikely but possible. In something like Wrestling it has happened multiple times. It doesn't necessarily kill or completely incapacitate a person.

I don't think he is a bad guy. His posts can be amusing. He just has never found a thread that he did not wish to post in.

I have found this thread and the rest of this forum more enjoyable with him on ignore. Highly recommended.

I prob got too heated with you ITT so I’ll admit that and look forward to future convos bruh
 
All good, don’t take this personally here, but i still think you’re crazy if you think Chicago “should” win.
You’re highly ignorant if you really believe the Devils will win tonight. Don’t care about what Vegas thinks to make money, Devils fans that watched Friday night know this team is flatter than a pancake and softer than whipped cream

I have no clue if they will win. But they should win…every hockey fan would think this
 
After the start reminded me of the Mad Season song title "Lifeless Dead" what a nice gutty win.

Depth scoring and better goaltending than I have seen from Vanecek, has led me to consider that the injuries might just be a blessing in disguise. To maximize the season you need a whole team effort, and at times the Devils get sidetracked watching what Jack and Nico do.

What’s your opinion of how long Hughes is out for ? These vague cryptic communications by the Devils are quite frustrating.
My take : we won’t see Hughes until December.
I agree! I think we don't see him til after the New Year. I know why, but this upper body, lower body stuff, leaves fans in the dark.

Survived because Vitek made a lot of spectacular saves including when Chicago pulled their goalie late.

Gutty win , I’m glad to be wrong of course, but it shouldn’t give us much confidence as the blackhawks were on the 2nd half of a back to back

best takeaway was Mercer finally got on the board
 
3:23am BramhallBob ?
Prostate trip to the bathroom?
Imbecile, if you really must know, I was at an emergency veterinarian for a feline. I noticed that you hadn't posted for a few hours. Did mommy give you a timeout? See if you are capable of responding with a post with any words that have more than 2 syllables. (You can always copy and paste.)
