lol oh boy. Someone called this. Hope it's just a favor to Scott. His useful days are far behind him.

 

[OpethNJD]

I'm scared.

 

[Zelmo]

Knew this would happen

 

[Tundra]

It truly is too easy. I'll leave it at that.

 

[Billdo]

 

[kiwidevil]

Hahaha some people have some crow to eat.

 

[glenwo2]

My reaction :


So the Devils remain the "Washed-up Has-been Former-Devil retirement home" they've always been.

Wonderful....

 

[billingtons ghost]

I will boo him every second he steps on the ice.

I will boo him in the parking lot.

I will boo him when he gets mentioned on Sportscenter.

I will boo him when he gets 3rd star of the game.

I will boo him when he goes out for the opening faceoff.

I will not boo him if they hand the cup to him, but that is such an unbe*****inglievable long shot, that I might as well not boo him if he produces a unicorn out of his arse.

F8ck scott gomez, his dad, and everything about him.


(yeah, I am over it.)

 

[Eric Sachs]

it's a ****ing camp tryout.. not a contract

calm down..

 

[NC107*]

If he can produce he is what the Devils need.

 

[Just Win]

Does Lou have a clause in his contract that forces him to have at least one washed up former Devil at the camp each year?

 

[Sykie]

Honestly, I'm angry.

Scott Gomez is a sh*tty player, and not only this, but he showed zero loyalty to the Devils.

I understand Lou has slowly destroyed the team to the point we are desperate to find forwards, but come one, show at least some decency.

Geeez... it's really time for Lou to step out.

 

[The 29th Pick]

after the last two seasons, I'll accept any player(s) that can get this team going again

 

[Richer's Ghost]

all this time and he's still only 34.

515 faceoffs last season and he only won 46% of them. It's not to be a faceoff guy for sure.

 

[Missionhockey]

I guess if Gomez made the team, it would have to be as the third line center. If I had to guess.

Cammalleri-Zajac-Jagr
Elias-Henrique-Havlat
Ruutu/Clowe-Gomez-Brunner/Ryder/Zubrus

If Gomez makes the team then Josefson is probably a goner (captain obvious).

Who was the person that called this last week ? Good work ! I honestly dont care about the players age or the name on the back of the jersey, all I care about is if the player can contribute consistently and if Scott Gomez can do that then I'm all aboard !
Im pulling for Gomer, hope he makes it very difficult for the devils not to sign him. To all the fans that are still hurt like 16 year old girls dumped on prom night.......it's a business and what happened in 2007 happened in 2007 GET OVER IT.

We can start to make a lineup of people that have magically returned for second stints

Sykora, Holik, Shanahan, Rolston, Gomez, Clemmenson, Arnott....

 

[JRZ DVLS]

I have always liked Gomez's ability to gaithe offensve zone and puck possesion. tThe times he has shined is with having a pure shooter on his wing.......Ryder?

Maybe we can get Jaques Laperrierre to come back and teach him how to shoot the puck again!!!
