Post-Game Talk: 5-4 Devils over Ottawa: Gimmie Moore Money

[NJDevs26]

he has been invisible out there. honestly i havent even seem him as of late. havent heard his name called. maybe its just me, and thats more than likely but i think he can use a few games in a lower league to get back to what we saw early on.

You haven't heard his name cause Bratt's only played 11:18 and 12:49 the last two games and that's with still getting some ST time. With no apparent reason WHY the sudden dropoff in icetime, but with this coming before the nine-game cutoff there's now a possiblity he gets sent down.

 

[AveryQuietMan]

On a 35+ contract? Hard pass.

if he came back this season wouldnt he still be on the same deal where he would be a ufa next offseason?

 

[Bleedred]

How many three game winning streaks did we have last year? We already have two.

There was the 5 game winning streak in November, and we may have had a 3 game winning streak in January or February. Or maybe it was 3 out of 4 or 4 out of 5.

You wonder what Kovalchuk is thinking right now.

Why didn’t they offer me 5 years and 50 million?

so send him down take a look at another guy and when we start sucking just bring him back. cant see why that would be so bad. hes locked up for 3 years.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Give me a break, Eddy. It's not like the Devils are committing penalties on purpose. Did you watch the same CLOWN-SHOW by the stinking officials on the ice that I did? Like against the Bolts, they were practically giving the Sens opportunities to score against us. They suck and I hate them.

Some of the calls are bad, but we aren’t doing ourselves any favors.

 

[Bleedred]

Our building will need to be tough

I see what you did there.

they can't bring him back if they send him to London. he's played fine first couple games he had bounces, last couple games he hasn't. he benefits from staying with the Devils coaches and learning from NHL players in an NHL environment.

I thought the Kucherov goal was a stoppable one. Not a terrible goal like the two bad one's tonight, but still stoppable. Hit his glove and went in.

I didn't like 2 of the goals in the Caps game either, although one was from Ovechkin and I doubt most guys are gonna score on him that way. One of the Oshie goals just beat him straight up, while he was in position for it. Think it was the fourth goal of the game and another PP goal.

There was also one from Shattenkirk that he had no shot on either.

Agreed 100%. I said earlier in the season that I'd be thrilled with a 30 point season from him, and I stand by that. He's very clearly an NHLer right now, let him play here and refine his game with the NHL team.

why cant they? it doesnt have to be next week it can be towards the end of the season. no?

Well not until after the London season ends anyway.

I almost wonder if they're experimenting to see if they can do without him before they decide to send him down or keep him.

Once a player is sent to junior he can't come back until their junior season is over.

didn't shero say something about being able to send him to the AHL?

 

[Emperoreddy]

No. People assumed it was possible but no one on the team or covering the team as said this is an actual option for him.

yeah who cares. he will be primed for a playoff run. cause u know we will be there.

He was drafted out of Europe so they should be able to. Was some speculation that they had an agreement with London though.

This is what he's thinking :

[JimEIV]

Butcher needs a lot of improvement.

There was one play were Pageau skated from 10 feet behind him to a loose puck. I mean the skating looked like Colin White during his last days. If that doesn't improve he won't last very long in this league.

 

[Emperoreddy]

London will also be in the playoffs. They go to the Memorial Cup almost every year.

 

[AveryQuietMan]

i guess this is a great problem to have tho. the coaches have to think quick here.

Not really. We don’t know when Boyle is coming back and Zajac is months away.

okay. I'm dead.
