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

[Billdo]

ok relax, I doubt its all that bad, but he's been on the list for what 2 weeks now? you'd think he'd be ready to practice by now unless he did get pretty sick

I think I read somewhere that he has tested negative but they're waiting on his family to test negative since they're obviously close contacts.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Remember when hepatitis with Elias was the worst thing ever?

 

[Call Me Al]

to be fair elias probably came closer to dying or never playing again than anyone here likely will

 

[njdevils1982]

Remember when hepatitis with Elias was the worst thing ever?

and then came back and proceeded to kick ass with a 97 point pace….he went on fire…....the team goes on an 11 game win streak at the end of the season to take the division and sweep the rags in 4 after that

….and then ….well……let's not talk about what happened next

Paul Martins arm comes to mind as well.

 

[The 29th Pick]

This poor kid can't catch a break.

if there's one silver lining about this stop in play because of Covid, it did give Nico time to heal/rehab.

I remember the last game of the season, we played Montreal, were down in the third by a few, we came back and won to take the division. I put on my Devils jersey and went to the local bar (in NY state) to the chagrin of most of the people there! But me and the bartender high-fived and went on and on about the game and Elias etc lol good... no GREAT times !

was that the same season that johnny rochester scored 48 goals?

 

[MadDevil]

was that the same season that johnny rochester scored 48 goals?

And Scott Gomez learned how to score goals for one season.

 

[The 29th Pick]

not sure, my memory is fading a bit, but we were hot, even Langs was scoring left and right, we were clicking, running on all cylinders, jelling...

 

[MartyOwns]

And Scott Gomez learned how to score goals for one season.

i remember back in college (this was the 1870's) there was no way to watch the games. so, i don't remember what website it was, maybe ESPN? they had an electric jumbotron that showed the score, and it would update every few minutes as teams would score. and whenever a guy scored, they would show who got the G and who got the apples.

so whatever year the EGG line together, it would constantly be something like this:

Elias (Gomez, Gionta)

then a few minutes later it would be

Gionta (Elias, Gomez)

then

Elias (Gionta, Gomez)

...just ridiculous. but yeah, gomer was a streaky scorer to say the least. but he could charge the puck through the neutral zone like no other center we had

 

[My3Sons]

Difficulty breathing? Ugh. Sounds like MBW had more of close call with covid than anyone might have expected. Hopefully the team can do some sort of in depth workup on the returning players to make sure they don't have anything subtle going on the way Rossi did.

 

[The 29th Pick]

yup just checked BIG Gio had 48 that year

And Scott Gomez learned how to score goals for one season.

Gomer had 33 plus 51 helpers
great season end, great first round sweeping the Rags then losing ugh to Carolina the way we did, remember Brad Lukowich SMH

That was also Parise's rookie season. Damn I feel old now.

Elias's 6 Points Not Enough to Steal Spotlight From Jagr (Published 2006)

He almost died, it was the worst thing ever. (I’m assuming that the hypothetical “Zajac on a ventilator” doesn’t exactly fit with Palmieri saying Travis is feeling better. No one feels better in those situations, they get or do better.)

 

[Mgd31]

Apologies if this has been answered already, but Kulikov and Gusev are both still on the COVID-19 protocol list, but skated today, and with Boqvist who wasn't even on the list? How does that make sense?

Oh man its all coming back to me now, yeah Jagr trying to punch Gomer and hurting himself instead, everything the Rags tried failed that series

That's pretty normal symptoms for Covid.

 

[My3Sons]

That's pretty normal symptoms for Covid.

A cough yes. Difficulty breathing in someone that young? That sounds more severe to me.

 

[TrufleShufle]

Odds are if they are skating, they are not on the list and we didn't get a good update to the list.

 

[R8Devs]

Maybe Boqvist was in protocol but since he was on the taxi squad he wasn't part of the daily list that the NHL releases

 

[Emperoreddy]

A cough yes. Difficulty breathing in someone that young? That sounds more severe to me.

For people who are symptomatic it is common. It's how the disease affects the body.

How long it lasts is the question mark.

 

[Mgd31]

So if Gusev and Kulikov skated, that means they could potentially play tomorrow then right?

 

[R8Devs]

Gusev and Kulikov were still on the covid list that was released today.
