Devils 2020-21 team discussion (news, notes and speculation) - part VIII

[JK3]

Not a big fan of the retros, I lived it in real time and don't need to be reminded how bad we sucked lol. To keep tradition alive we've lost every single game in the retros except one lol.

 

[Ripshot 43]

It really sucks because the "off season" technically is in full swing, but we are fresh out of off season topics due to having our off season starting 8 months ago....

off season.

Hockey is a great “distraction” that I’ve leaned on year after year. Hopefully camps can start before the new year and we can get back into hearing some new news.

Same with the Giants and their retros. Shitty teams lose a lot. When you wear certain jerseys only a handful of times against good teams, there's a strong chance you never win in them.

This is true for sure. Good team or bad I never liked our original unis and couldn't wait for them to be gone.

I really wanna see what our Power 31 program jersey will be like. They're rumored to be based off the city each team plays in.... how the hell do you incorporate brick city into a jersey?

 

[Nubmer6]

Devils hire Eklund as Bing goaltender coach:

E5?

That's Wild

As in "Minnesota Wild Colors"?

Well, I did capitalize it for a reason E5

To this day I regret not seeing them live.

Kind of shocking that the jersey redesign outrage dissipated so quickly. The new jerseys are still pretty atrocious, but nobody mentioned it after the first month or so.

Because there is no point in complaining about it... duh.

[Darkauron]

Personally, I love the Christmas jerseys.

My guess would be either a brick red jersey or a black jersey with brick red stripes.

I shopped one and put it in the jersey thread but I'll put it here.

like i said in the other thread……its inevitable at this point….and could be worse than this

and please no black jersey……let the canes make it look like shit instead

 

[Nico Hischier]

Green jersey is so ugly and absolutely awful to watch on tv

 

[SETHROLLINS]

Not sure where to post this but it's been 10 years since the Kovy shootout miss.

I am a fan if the Christmas Jersey, but not a fan of blackout jerseys. The Stars’ stadium jerseys were awesome. The Stars’ black out jerseys are terrible.

Yeah it's going to be something like that probably.

It has been overdone but I'm one of the few that wouldn't mind a black jersey.

Pfizer claims their vaccine is 90% effective. It’s curious why the Devil last few players haven’t signed. I think the Devils might be waiting as long as possible to see what happens with the teams up to or over the cap. Hopefully, they don’t trade Bratt..

wait what?

One of these sentences is not the like the other.

 

[britdevil]

Brodeur has 310 road wins. #2 is Belfour at 206. Brodeur has over 50% more road wins than the #2 goalie.

System goalie brah.

David Byrne just wont go back and perform with the band, its like Lennon was with the Beatles back in the 70's

I remember going to a Deli in my town and watching the replay of the shootout and we were all laughing (but pissed)

at one point there was apparently a best of Talking Heads compilation being put together and the record company said it would make big bucks if they played shows in bigger cities to support it. Byrne couldn’t be talked into it. As for the Beatles, based on what I’ve read I think John would have done something with McCartney on his Venus and Mars album had he not returned to Yoko from his lost weekend after the Elton John Thanksgiving show at MSG. George would have complained bitterly but I think had John and Paul wanted to do something as the four of them on Ringo’s Stop and Smell the Roses album he would have relented. Sigh.
