GDT: Devils vs. Blue Jackets - 25 More To Go - 6:00 PM - MSG+

[JK3]

I just now realized that Nas looks like he could be Jon Bernthal's long lost French Canadian brother.

Me and Bleed have been calling him Shane for a while now lol.

 

[Billdo]

Ok so I'm going to say it... I love the current 4th line. There I said it.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Loved his answer regarding Travis, Point-blank : "He's not going anywhere."

So he recognizes that the team needs a few veterans to remain.

more likely Travis won’t waive.

Or you know...he has a ntc and probably isn't going to waive it.

Joey and Merk have looked good.

 

[Bleedred]

I think he looks a bit like Keanu Reeves. Not completely, but a little bit.

You mean the second line of Anderson-Rooney-Merkley

 

[MadDevil]

The comparison only now clicked because I watched Ford v Ferrari last night and Bernthal was in it. I was like "Holy shit, that looks like Nas". Also, man that was a good movie.

 

[tr83]

I have to assume that Lou had some discussions with Fitz about Trav's availability.

 

[Billdo]

Might as well be. They're really good together.

 

[Whaddagoal]

That Merkley kid has some serious nhl drive. I like his confidence with the puck...

The way he slightly shifted/freed up in open space for the goal was good thinking.

Yeah he does look more like Nas in that especially with him wearing a suit and tie.

That's fine by me.

This team cannot be comprised only of young players, which was my point.

Whether Travis said "Screw you, Fitz. I'm not going anywhere" or not, that (see above) is my main argument.

 

[tr83]

And Zacha and Simmonds need to be getting 4th line minutes. I'm done with both of them.

I think it's safe to say now that Zacha is a huge bust.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Loved his answer regarding Travis, Point-blank : "He's not going anywhere."

He also knows that Zajac won't waive his no trade, which is probably the biggest factor.

Coleman-esque, honestly.

Zajac, like Greene, is a player you shop. He does nothing for this team in the short term anymore. He is clearly declining pretty quickly.

You trade a Coleman or Palms because the return is too good. You trade Zajac and Greene because they are old.

Or you keep one or two of the old dogs around to show the pups what it takes to be a big dog.

we got guys who can do that. Subban is still here. Palms is still here.

Zajac is becoming a negative on the ice as a player.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Blackwood awarded the jacket to Merk.

 

[Better Call Sal]

 

[Emperoreddy]

Fitz isn’t wrong when he said he is part of the core.

You want a goalie to build around. Here is a goalie to build around.

 

[JK3]

@Prezidentas Zubrus hey you finally got to see a win and you don't have to do the next GDT. Must have been crazy with the two trades that went down.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Ray implied that Blackwood is one of the key pieces to this team along with Nico and Jack.

How could he not?

Hellen Keller could see Blackwood's value and she wasn't even a hockey fan.
