New season new start new thread!!!!!

Can we please hold a lead? This is getting exhausting. Another point but giving away these extra points will cost us a playoff spot.

Hopefully Cammalleri can keep this up when Hall gets back.

Few chances to get an empty netter once again, and they blew it.

This team might make the playoffs thanks to the otl

The wins will need to start piling up for the Devils thats for sure.

Lets go out there and get it!

 

[CalamityX11]

Calling you out Cory.... there's been some games where you haven't been your best as of late. Lets pick it up and bring it!

 

[CalamityX11]

loss 2-3 to the Jets....

damn.... all this losing, i hope they dont force Hall back to soon because of it....

come on guys, lets go! Wood had a terrific game apparently.... good stuff

 

[rp2five]

I don't think they would risk getting him back out there too quick but happy he is ahead of schedule.
I read he was skating on his own 1 week after surgery? Quick healer.

 

[CalamityX11]

yea about last night....

come on devils... Zajac scoring a hat trick still not enough? I'm looking at a tired defense(a defense that cant sustain pressure for a full game) and I'm sorry, but I'm looking at Cory here too... where's the big saves? He's capable of it, he's in a funk(i know he cares, his frustration is what i wanted to see)

Devils came out blazing vs the Hawks and did a very good job through the game... but bloody hell. Hate to see good effort like that not end in a win.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Also what's up with Boucher? Obviously was great in juniors, looked to be coming on strong at the end of last year and now he's put on waivers over guys with 2 way deals.

I understand he has not lit it up this year but he's also only getting 6-7 minutes a game on the 4th line, not setting him up for success. Would hate for him to get claimed.

That one really bugs me....

Maybe I've been really high on him for years, so maybe i'm more touchy with it but i dont understand the rationale behind it.

I think it comes back to a loaded team(not necessarily with all star talent). How he lost his playing time to Bennett idk... to a PA Parentu from the beginning idk... Rookies likes Lappin(deservedly of late) and now Woods are getting time....

Really would suck if we lose him. He's not being given a fair chance and he's setup to fail in the 4th line. He's no 4th line....

Man that Camm slapper hit the post dead on in OT. Would have been the game. shame, they played the Hawks well.

 

[CalamityX11]

both games!!!!!

god damn it! lol

 

[CalamityX11]

Not mentioned but on Saturday, Boucher was claimed by the Preds before their game....

 

[rp2five]

Yes, I saw that and think it was a mistake to not at least try to get a late pick for him. Lost him for nothing.
To be fair, he has been given chances. I think they could have avoided this however rather easily.

 

[CalamityX11]

i do agree on that there was "chances" however i felt being put on the 4th line was a misuse and sabotage IMO....

 

[CalamityX11]

Devils win!!!!!

undefeated in regulation at home!!!!

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Here's the 2 big plays from last night, I don't think either of them were penalties. Zajac broke his nose on the play.

 

[CalamityX11]

For the Zajac hit, i don't it was a penalty either.... I can't find a reasonable spin on it to say it was. It was unfortunate how it happened. Maybe closer to the board, the hit could've been deemed penalty but also had it been closer Zajac wouldn't hit his nose that way.

The Hall hit, KO!, was clean. I guess i'd have to be a Canucks fan to see it as a suspension(even though some fans see it clean too) but i see no maliciousness there. Hall didn't hit as if he was head shotting, doesn't have the rep as cheapshot, it really was close to a perfect storm. Hall even tried to let up but the speed was enough to Knock out Larsen.

Hell, looked like he fell backwards after a Kamehameha wave LOL!

 

[Nasty_Magician]

I guess rule 51.3 doesn't apply in Montreal.

 

[CalamityX11]

The best to come out of last night IMO was the sweet henrique no look pass to Hall on the PP for the goal.....

thats what i want to see!
