Devils 2018-19 team discussion (player news and notes) - offseason part VI

[OmNomNom]

She's nice on the eyes too, but, no one can match Julie

+1, my heart aches

 

[Zezel22]

Yeah OK, looks are never taken into consideration in on-air jobs . Lol

People are living in such fear of themselves right now its hilarious. We get it, you are not a sexist/racist. You're good! We get it! Please, relax and enjoy the television broadcast. Maybe have a beer.

 

[OmNomNom]

I challenge every single one of you not to mention her appearance, because it means absolutely nothing in regards to her ability to do her job, you sexist pigs.

but julie has both looks AND brains

 

[mtnet]

Saying "nice on the eyes" falls well short of a teachable #MeToo moment, let's be real

 

[Patrik26]

That host does in between period and post game player interviews

She needs to know the game, the players, etc or she will look out of place and scorned by fans

She also needs to know when to get out of the way after an ice scrape and the doors need to be closed, LOL! Anyone remember which game that was?

Dude no joke I felt like Deb was in the way of a zamboni or ice crew at least half the season haha.

Exactly. I mean, look over at NHLN for example ..... never mind.

don't worry DD, i get what you mean. like it's an inherent bias everyone has, so making light of it as a comment shouldnt' be that big of a factor. i mean, what can we say, we're dudes

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Colin226]

Excited to see what she brings to the broadcast!

 

[mtnet]

Same here, I was beyond ready to see some new blood in that area

i'm honestly gonna miss the "omg deb, what's up with your hairs"s, and the "wow, deb looks pretty sharp today"s

Erika's heart may bleed orange

Raised in Atlantic County

Deb fit right into the other lovable, bumbling fools on the broadcast. She will be missed

I would love to go on a rant about casual misogyny but this isn't the time or place for it. I'll just say, if you look this woman and make a comment on how sexy she is, you should be required to make a comment on how sexy you find Steve and Daneyko as well.

I think the board has its moments when it comments on the male player attractiveness, so it seems pretty fair.

 

[Setec Astronomy]

I challenge every single one of you not to mention her appearance, because it means absolutely nothing in regards to her ability to do her job, you sexist pigs.

Fat guys commentating sports on television or even who are just sports wrtiers get referred to as such by fans and players all the time. Charles Barkley used to refer to Bill Conlin as Jabba the Hutt.

I know nothing about her at the moment, except that she's attractive. If she's terrible at her job though, it won't do anything for me. If people weren't aware there is something called the internet that allows literally anyone with a pulse to watch attractive women (or not so attractive women, if that's your thing) doing things much more interesting than telling you what Blake Coleman was thinking when he scored his seventh goal of the season, if you know what I mean.

As long as she doesn't end up weighing 450 pounds or developing some extremely disturbing mole on her forehead, I won't care about her looks when things get down to business.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

I'm not sure how saying she is an attractive woman is misogynistic

saying she got the job ONLY BECAUSE she is attractive is whats misogynistic, and if you say that I agree you're a dunce

 

[Cheddabombs]

In other team related news, looks like other teams are releasing their training camp rosters today. I guess we will too at some point today.

 

[HenriquesJawLine]

DD talking about female broadcasters makes me uncomfortable

In fairness, Steve is a handsome man.

I’m sure Erika will do her job well, just as Deb did. I’m sure she won’t be able to replace Deb’s ridiculous tan, though.

 

[MartyOwns]

So here's the thing that bugs me a little bit... Other hires (Stein, Baicker, Robenhymer) have a lot of hockey knowledge and worked in hockey for years before coming to the Devils (and Baicker has sinced moved on).... Scrolling through Erika's Instagram/Twitter (not as creepy as it sounds) there's absolutely zero evidence of anything hockey related.

I had said in this thread that I was pretty positive they were going to hire a young female... and there's nothing wrong with that... I knew it was going to happen. I don't care about her looks. That's not the point. You cannot tell me that she's more qualified than Arda Ocal who is practically a hockey genius..... or Julie Robenhymer who is good in front of the camera and very knowledgeable.

I'm sure she'll be fine... but I'm kind of disappointed.

yeah but she’s replacing deb, not salvador. how much in depth knowledge did deb bring to the table?

i’ll just edit it myself and save the mods the trouble

Commenting on appearance isn't misogyny, ffs.

Would you call women who drool over "baseball butts" similarly sexist? How dare they objectify!

Give me a break.

Whatever, back to the point. I'm excited for her for her new opportunity, and I'm excited for the network to have a new face and fresh blood. Deb had grown painfully stale.

Do you need a safe zone?

My gosh some of you need to get off your soap boxes

It's harmless stuff, really.

Umm... she DID go to Syracuse

Devils might get to see our camp invite Jeremy Brodeur in one of the two preseason games
