Post-Game Talk: Devils Deep-Six the Kraken (Final 2-1)

[My3Sons]

Nemec going from 3 straight pointless AHL games and being used as the 7D to 3 pts in 3 NHL games on the top pair is so funny. I wonder how much weight there is to the theory that highly talented players like that are better in the NHL even though they’re facing higher competition because they’re with teammates who are better and can think and play the game like them.

In his case I think it's more that he had that injury and needed some time to get back into the groove. Even last night I noticed he had that black athletic tape in two strips going up each side of the back of his neck. I'm guessing the muscles there are still a bit sore? Whiplash will do that.

Fanatics is an absolute joke of a company and produces trash products across all of their sports contracts. Just absurdly bad designs, production, and quality controls

Good thing the NHL signed a 10 year deal with them...

Yeah when I saw him play in Rochester like a month ago, he was definitely moving gingerly. Clear he wasn’t going at full tilt, which is totally understandable rehabbing an injury in the Ahl

For arena food standards, that short rib was fantastic.

I liked the split scoreboards, made the rink feel roomy.

It's weird because the rink looks terribly generic and lacking personality during the games, but every view I've seen of it at the rest of the arena makes it look pretty sweet.

For some reason a friend who lives in Seattle led me to believe they were going to build a new arena for the Kraken later but given all the work that went into renovating the current one I don't think that's correct.

The Mortenson team overcame unique challenges including the roof, tunnel and COVID-19 — just in time for the NHL's Kraken to make their home debut.

How did Nemec look?

How did Nemec look?

He’s so smart and a really smooth skater. Stellar performance being given the stakes.

How did Nemec look?

as good as you can

 

[Nubmer6]

Here :

Yeah....that definitely hit Bratt's right skate.

Look also where the puck is (in terms of the crease from the first picture to the 2nd one).

That puck was going wide if it wasn't for Bratt's skate being there.

What? You don't believe in the magic bullet puck theory?

My wife and I had seen JFK that week. Seeing that episode so soon afterwards was one of the greatest comedy moments I've ever been privileged to laugh at. That was one magic loogie.

It is my favorite scene in the entire Seinfeld series. That whole episode is top 5.

Kid is the real deal

Julius Honka better

okay...I need to ask since no one is asking :

Who or what is "Julius Honka"?

(or is this a "deez nuts" joke that I'm going to fall victim to?)

That "poutine" is a blasphemy

I also had some churros that were somehow worse than the ones I had in Japan.

We need to discuss these trash Fanatic hats some of them were wearing in the post-game interviews.

That’s “New Jersey” in red/white with a black stripe through the middle. What a mess, it took me a while to figure out what was actually happening on the front.

The Devils logo is somewhat randomly slapped on one side.

The Fanatics brand of shame is on the opposite side.

Its lazy bad design.

EDIT: LOLOLOL This isn’t even remotely the correct thread for these, but I’m too lazy to move it to the AHL thread.

Everything Fanatics does is absolute garbage. I've given them multiple chances and everything I own from them fits poorly and/or is falling apart after minimal use.

It's funny, the only thing I've ever bought from there that isn't trash is the quarter zip that they accidentally marked down to $12 a couple years ago.

Could also have been less engaged in Utica. It’s no secret he was pissed he didn’t make the team out of camp
