GDT: Devils vs. Sharks - 1:00 PM MSG+

[The 29th Pick]

Zacha is the most due guy ever. If it doesn't happen soon for him I may start believing he's just one of those guys who will just never score as much as he should. It can't be bad luck forever.

yeah I agree, I know Wood/Hall/Nico will start potting some in without a doubt

i love salvador, but he is awful on tv. holy ****

he's not smooth, thats for sure, but a lot of people on our forum like him

 

[OmNomNom]

because he knows what he's talking about

i mean, dano isn't the smoothest talker either

 

[NJDevs26]

People like Sal as an analyst because he's smart and can dissect stuff. But is he going to be as loose and personable as say, Chico? Not in a million years. His role doesn't really call for that anyway, he's an analyst.

Plus for all the crap Steve got because he wasn't Doc, Sal's probably looked at a little better cause by god MacLean was almost as awful in that role as he was as a head coach. Sal's a huge step up from that.

I like him because he isn't a mindless drone reading out generic talking points and he isn't a biased homer who does nothing but pump the team. He's an extremely intelligent and detailed analyst who provides a high quality of commentary and asks players and coaches detailed and difficult questions. Yes he trips over himself sometimes when talking, but the content is much better than you get from most broadcasts.

You don't miss the "ya know" moments with MacLean?

exactly. would you want either:

A.) A smooth talker who sounds great, but talks out of his/her ass

or

B.) Someone who fumbles words, but has a lot of insight

sometimes you can get a bit of A+B and then some (Chico's goalie analysis/personality), but not a lot of people are like that

I thought MacLean was alright in that role, but I like Salvador better in it.

I couldnt stand Johnny Mac, and I loved him as a player

Can we light up Martin Jones for once? I see plenty of other teams doing it like it's no problem.

I figure you're looking for an OT win for the Devils since they're your favorite and a point for the Sharks as your next fave

 

[JimEIV]

Hopefully we see Nico and Hall join the party this afternoon.

 

[JimEIV]

Karlsson is paired with Burns? Who plays defense?

 

[Bleedred]

How many times will Steve bring up ''Former Devils coach Pete DeBoer''?

Depends how tough our building is today

 

[OmNomNom]

Karlsson is paired with Burns? Who plays defense?

they're gonna crunch out 30 min of ice time

 

[JimEIV]

5 times over/under?

 

[Bleedred]

Nope

Devils are my clear cut favorite and I'm looking for 2 points. Whether it's a squash match win or OT win.

 

[Bleedred]

5 times over/under?

I'm sure we'll be hearing about him more than 5 times.

 

[JimEIV]

Curious to see how much they give.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Karlsson is with Vlasic.

 

[scoopscj]

Sharks came to play.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

I literally have three screens set up for all 1:00 sporting events. I have everything on and will probably miss everything by being distracted

 

[Cult of Hynes]

Lovejoy has one of the worst shots in the NHL lol. He always hits someone.

 

[JimEIV]

Good shift for the top line
