beekay414 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 Man, I know it's only game 5 but Jack Hughes is a game changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 Packers just lost in a brutal way in the NFC Championship game to the dude with the 4 leaf clover shoved up his keister but I'm over here smiling ear to ear, giddy as hell, because of #86. If any Devils fan from New Jersey ever questions my allegiance to this team, I'll shank them lol. It's honestly safe to say that the Devils are my favorite team of all my faves. Unreal considering they've been the worst team of them all the last decade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Its so weird how Merkley tends to find his way around the puck while also being such a horrible skater. Watchign him break up that pass a few minutes ago while also chasing after it I was struck by what a bad skater he was lol. But he just knows how to get himsefl in the middle of the mess too....he's like the anti Quennevile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just, as you said, a choppy skater. He's all over the ice, in a good way, when he's out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I love how puck dominant Ty was there. Holy crap. That was just nice to watch between he and Jack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be interesting to see what we go with when Nico and Bratt come back. Merkley is free to move back and forth to the taxi squad for the first 30 days but then it becomes a pickle. Do we move Boqvist and Rango to the AHL top line due to their ability to go up and down without going through waivers? It's good to have a depth problem but, man, a lot of them deserve ice time and the ones that don't are the ones with the bigger paychecks. If Johnsson isn't going by the time Merkley's 30 days are up, I'd consider exposing him to waivers. He's the one that's sticking out like a sore thumb, in a bad way, so far.

I'd absolutely expose Johnsson to waivers. That was my concern when we traded for him... Wasn't great and he's now very overpaid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 Smith, Kulikov and Murray have just been absolutely huge so far to start the year. It's refreshing not having an AHL level blue line on the left side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 We're gonna be down Blackwood for a while methinks. Wedge kinda hinted at him having Covid in that interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
