Devils 2017-18 team discussion (player news and notes) V - Trade Deadline Madness

[NJDevs26]

Also, I don’t think Hynes is a players coach because he is too easy on the players. I think, from interviews, the players respect that he is up front with them and, while he is demanding, he is also reasonable.

That’s a tough line to walk; being demanding and still having the players like you.

Yeah admittedly I was real worried he was losing the locker room during our death spirals in December and March last year but Shero accurately bet on certain personnel (Camm, DSP, BB, etc) not wanting to compete being the issue more than the coach.

So nice having a bonafide game changer aboard in Hall, it's been a while

That sucks.. I dont expect Mojo back until the playoffs or slightly before it if we make it..

it's just depressing, because i assume that means he must be really down, or at least his friends and family think that he's down and needs the cheer up

ugh i used to like marchand, since he toed the line, but now i'm disgusted

 

[OmNomNom]

wood looks sufficiently sad, hopefully he doesn't do this again

Have to give Hynes props. Having to manage a locker room filled with so many personalities has to be tough. Also knowing when to yell at the players... or when to be calm and reassuring, or when to pat them on the back.

If you yell at the guys a few times and the team keeps losing, they tune the coach out real fast.

I read a tweet earlier that a bunch of friends came because their hockey leagues shut down for the Olympic s so they had some time off

Aww that is really great! I'm sure it has been a rough time for him this year. That will really help him out.

Hall really is the perfect hybrid of Parise and Kovalchuk.

 

[OmNomNom]

this is arguably the most comfortable i've seen/heard hall be in an interview in a while, if not ever with our team

 

[DEVILS130]

Win in regulation tonight and we're looking at 8 point cushion over the Isles and Canes and a 9 point cushion over the BJs. Great spot to be in

 

[New Jersey]

you know for all the concern we had about metropolitan games this year, so far we have a .583 points percentage in our division.

Does anyone have a copy of the interview Shero did with TheAthletic?

 

[Devilswede]

Sucks if MoJo's career is in jeopardy after two bad concussions this year. He barely got going with us, and we haven't even seen him at his best.

Sucks if it doesn't work out. And Brad Marchand is allowed to do what he does. Makes me sick.

 

[Rebel Devil]

The iffy injury status of MoJo makes me think Shero will definitely add a forward at the deadline. In earlier comments Ray sounded like he wouldn't be interested in a rental, but that was when he thought MoJo would be back soon. Now that it's lingered I wonder if he'd consider going after a Thomas Vanek or something.

I can almost guarantee you Shero has no intention of acquiring Vanek.

I dunno .. he's the kind of vagabond scorer the Devils could use down the stretch .. he's having a solid season .. gonna log 50 plus points. He's strong on the powerplay ... good shot. RW .. I think he'd help.

All good points, but he's too slow for Shero's liking.

Are these concussions so severe that his career is in jeopardy????

Hard to say ... they are taking him a long time to recover from .. that is concerning.
