That movie was the poster child for not cool. I’ve just seen enough movies in my lifetime that I actually expect it to either tell a story or have a point. That movie was the cinematic equivalent of those Andy Kaufman shows where he would read War and Peace until the audience left. That’s not comedy that’s taking advantage of your audience. If I could do the same thing it’s not good enough for a comedian or a film director. The sad thing is I could have saved that movie with just a few tweaks at the end.

You are sensitive tho. (The cool thing was a joke.)

Last game before what break?

Our sanity?

i really don’t get the high regard for the Lighthouse. So it’s shot in Black and White and has name actors. Beyond that I don’t see what’s so special. Meh story and meh script to me. Based on a couple of interviews I think the filmmaker mixed up his myths and at the end of the day I was defrauded. The word Lovecraftian was used and it was not Lovecratian. Sorry a couple of visuals don’t qualify it for that. My opinion and I understand some may have liked it but I just don’t. I went to see it with an open mind and didn’t have any idea what to expect so it wasn’t confirmation bias.

On my first watch I mainly just appreciated the performances, but on rewatches the storytelling is really really good.

Big brain strategy sending them down so we can ice a full lineup.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Yeah, that’s the one change we really need, it wasn’t the crap forwards lines getting bent over that were the problem. (We just happened to not get bent over when bad McLeod lines and dicey Mercer lines weren’t out.)

We literally have no other forwards considering Covid protocols. It is what it is. We do have options on defense though.

Jeez that's AHL level wingers (-Tatar)

Even so I'm still excited to see how Hughes will look without Bratt and if he can fire up Kuokkanen and find some of that last season chemistry again.

Will be a really hard game to win, but you never know..

 

[The Wumpus]

That set of wingers

Not sensitive (you’ve read my posts enough to know I don’t take myself seriously) but this movie is a bone of contention with my kids and I feel like the emperor has no clothes. In any event. I think this discussion might provide a needed distraction from the game when they end up sending out my 86 year old dad to play wing tonight because the entire rest of the team has covid.

Maybe someday I’ll rewatch it.

wouldnt be opposed to running Mercer with one of Hischier or Hughes at some point and just telling bottom two lines to trap

No need to postpone, we're only missing half the team.

 

[NJDfan86]

Man I really don’t understand these line deployments the Devils coaching staff is rolling out - you have 4 good forwards in the lineup, why stack 3 of them on the same line?

 

[Nico13]

Greer hattrick today. You can feel it.

[Devs3cups]

Tatar-Hughes-Mercer is exciting.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Hughes and Mercer.

 

[Comparison Ford]

this makes more sense to me as a lineup, and Mcleod will probably be doubling shiftting to be center on that 4th line.

 

[The Wumpus]

It's a like a preseason split-squad game

[njdevils1982]

lets go boys…shove that cannon of theirs right up their asses!

 

[mdj12784]

We’re getting shutout

Yeah seems the best you can do with so many guys out.

 

[My3Sons]

We’re getting shutout

Hughes and Mercer probably create offense. Not sure they can score the three or four goals the team will need to win.
