Was the team discussing what makes a good wedding gift?

Someone cares

 

[Camille the Eel]

Stafford has been one of the few guys putting out full effort every shift these past few weeks. He’s resuscitated his career I believe and several teams will want him at the deadline for experience, toughness and the ability to play a hard forecheck game.

I’ve been wondering where (and if) the leadership was going to come from on the Devils after these past couple of months.

After practice stuff:

Nice of a guy who is a healthy scratch more often than not to have the balls to do this while Greene, while maybe doing it in private, shows absolutely no fire.

(has no proof of anything)

I had a picture saved on my phone, maybe it's still there, but it's of a Devils fan holding up a sign that says "Stop playing like crap" and that's pretty the entire season in a picture.

As far as what? I acknowledged he could be doing it behind closed doors, did I not?

showing no fire, that's just an ignorant statement

Greene is a low energy guy
Better suited for an alternate captain

I'm sure the same thing was said about the likes of Joe Sakic too.

I'm sure the same thing was said about the likes of Joe Sakic too.

Really though, there's almost always been too many quiet leaders and not enough guys who'll play bad cop here. It's kinda sad that the two guys who actually hold themselves and everyone else to account the most are 4th liners who are probably gone at the end of the year.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Officially screwed.

 

[Davegarri]

Give me league minimum and i'll bust my ass out there. I will never understand how some of these guys feel comfortable not giving their all some games while getting paid millions to do so. That goes for any sport

Oh ok. Thanks for the contribution.

A hall of fame player is not someone you should compare to a bottom pairing player

 

[Scooooooooooooot]

same to you, pal.

I thought it was about low energy leadership being a quality of an alternate captain rather than a captain. Joe Sakic was certainly "low energy" in a traditional sense, he wasn't the fiery leader like Scott Stevens. But sure, change the metrics at your will.

Also, Andy Greene may NOW be a bottom pairing player but he certainly wasn't his whole career.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Boyle and Staff have been playing every shift like its their last.

Can't say that about anyone else of late.

I like how Andy Greene is simply a "bottom pairing player"

we really going to dismiss the fact that he was a legit top pairing DMan for a number of years?
