@The 29th Pick THIS YEAR!

if you pass by the mall, you can see the roller coaster is up already (though won't be ready for opening)

i'm in the construction industry, and honestly, the speed at which they put it together is both amazing and scary

They have even begun to paint over the last remains of the old color scheme this week which was left on the ski slope. The color is temporarily going to be white until they come up with the final print of a selected mural from a Montreal based firm and local artists to put on the sides of the slope's structure.

I'll believe it when I see it !!!!, some of that place is so old it had to be replaced already and it has never even been in business yet !!!!!!!

Xanadu chat is the best chat.

With all the Hughes, Subban, Goose and possible prospect addition talk. One thing that gets forgotten too often is how much better Nico could be this year. I can't wait to see him play with even more confidence now that he isn't "the kid" anymore. More strength, more skill and more confidence. I'm just as excited to watch what he can do this year as I am all the other new additions.

This will come out even more so if Hughes becomes a high end threat. He could draw the attention allowing Nico to feast on lower lines. It really depends on where Hall plays because teams will always match up against him first. But if Hall Hughes becomes a think Nico is going to destroy some lesser talent.

I couldn't get the game where I am but am a bit alarmed to come here and see not a single person taking about how our kids played...

Was it that bad?

No, it just has its own thread.

No, it just has its own thread.

I don't see a GDT ? Am I missing something?

 

[NJDevs26]

It's in the Prospects Challenge thread...I guess it should be a GDT for the whole tournament?

 

[Oneiro]

Guys, if the season is going pretty well, can we bring back an updated version of the Borat GIF?

This game sucked but only because of the Quality of the Stream which was pure ass combined with the loss of audio every 3-seconds.

At least Hughes and Boqvist scored.

Hope they do something to improve the stream in the next game but I'm not holding my breath.

The NHL really "gets" pre-season.

in that it's over in the blink of an eye

I mean - I didn't have a problem with it. But I dunno, call me crazy, I'm happy with what we get, as pixely, weird sound as could be. They are spending a lot of money on even just having people there to cover it Matt, Amanda, Chris, producers, tthe entire staff, scouts, etc - they've done a phenomenal job. Also, with the excitement with Jack - I bet they were tight on bandwidth too.

They reached out on reddit and explained they were having issues and it should be fixed for today.

It’s all you can ask for.

We couldn't even watch those games in the past, so having to do so with an average feed isn't the end of the world... and it's a prospects game, so yeah!

Having watched last nights replay, I wonder what prevents us from developing Smith to play his natural, left handed side?

We need Left Defense and he’s a lefty. So play him there. I know he’s spent the last two years playing his off side, but putting him on his natural side is the perfect solution to our roster’s peculiar woes. And why not even pair him with Subban for that matter, if he can handle the assignment that is.

 

[jkrdevil]

Title and salary bump for Fitzgerald. Presumable to entice him to stay.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Castron got a bump too. Vice President of scouting.

Given that the Devils have dressed no RHD for these 2 games, I don't think Smith being on his off-side suggests that the Devils think of him as a right-side D. It just means they think he's going to be more comfortable there for these games than other players who they might ask to do the same thing.

Good catch, I hadn't noticed that. Of course with Smith, the staff won't be basing any decisions off of this tournament. They'll see plenty of him in camp and the preseason.

we have a preseason game 1 week from tonight.

we made it.

Even better, we have two preseason games a week from today!

So happy camp is almost here.
