HFBoards on anyone nearing or over 30

Anyway, don't think it's a stretch to say the past week and a half to two weeks on this board have been largely unbearable, over-exaggerative and obnoxious. Between the Hughes scapegoating, kicking Palms to the curb by many and general rollercoaster of claims in every thread win or lose, it's making this season feel longer than the play of the team has.

I always say this and it always rings true, we'll regret wishing the season away. All along, most of us were viewing this as an extended look at who will be around for a normal, full schedule next year. We're getting that in some guys in Sharangovich and Kuokkanen, as well as seeing Subban is capable of consistent play next year along with maybe one of Murray and Kulikov, if not both.

Let's try and rally here to hope for the best. I don't believe this team ever shows lack of effort. This schedule is abnormal and easily will burn them out, especially against good teams. It is just the reality of the situation.

And hey, it's the Bruins tonight, so maybe we'll come back from the dead to learn to win again.

And if this really is the home stretch for Palms as a Devil, I for one will be sad and sorely miss him.

One of my most favorite movies from my childhood. When people ask for my top 3 movies of all time, I like to say, Shawshank Redemption, Citizen Kane and Billy Madison, just to see their reactions

 

[LeedsMonster]

LGD!!! Wanna see Palms give it a little tappy. A little tap tap taparoo.

No Marchand should help.

When does Nico get his hand bitten off by an alligator?

When does Nico get his hand bitten off by an alligator?

I guess when they decide to give him a viking funeral in a bayou.

Good thing we don’t play either Florida team this season...

Curious to see how Jack responds after that horrendous game.

The response is more important than the falter in my opinion. Big showing tonight for Jack is a necessity..

I think he’ll be great but the problem is he has no help whatsoever and being the skilled player he is, he’s trying to do everything on his own and it’s doing more harm than anything to him and his team.

 

[The Great Dame]

Excellent GDT.

I miss Nico

No Rask and Marchand

Go Devils

Bummer for Maltsev. He was certainly not good last game, but Ruff has seemed patient with the other kids. I'm not much a fan of Merk.

Maltsev seems to move in slow motion. He needs to pick up the pace to be an NHL player

Johnsson could pull out a lounge chair and sit on the blue line for 14 shifts and not get scratched

He's had a little bad version of Zacha creep into his game recently.

Maltsev had some bad shifts, but Johnsson has terrible shifts every game and never is held accountable for it.

To be fair would you scratch a guy with the balls to do that?

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Pena!!!

And kind of surprised that the six D have stayed the same with neither Tennyson nor Butcher slotting in.

Johnsson while not good, didn't directly cause any goals in Ruff's eyes, I think hes fine with a 4th liner being a black hole offensively then misplacing that leads to goals and he's getting that message across. Just speculating here though.

Butcher is shit. Vatanen has deserved to sit for Tennyson a few times.
