GDT: Islanders (31-27-9) @ Devils (24-38-6) - 4:00PM - TNT/SN360

[Camille the Eel]

He went for a spin during commercial and decided to take a shift. Took a shift and looked like Bambi

Sounds like it hurt, doesn't it? But not like structural damage. (I am being Polyanna here, see, but it does seem like a soreness and range for motion issue once he tried it out - how fast a healer is he therefore and yeah they may just shut him down, I get that).

 

[Eggtimer]

I cannot see them letting Jack , cornerstone one of their franchise players , be allowed to go back out on the ice if there was any potential for the injury to be knee / ligament damage type of injury . It would be idiotic if so . Better not be shying that could be serious knee issues .

 

[Devs3cups]

He returned to the ice and couldn't skate.

I mean he didn't skate hard, but he was able to skate a little, go back and put some weight on there. That's a good sign to me. If it was THAT bad, he probably wouldn't even. have come back at all tbh.

 

[Bleedred]

That Palmieri goal was so ugly.

I don't care how good of a shooter he is. That shot was from too far out, it was not one timed, the angle was not a very good one. And it might have even possibly went through him, but it was a bad goal no matter what.

Wooffff.

I remember when Erik Staal's goal in game 7 was like the worst goal against ever, but we see goals like that almost gamely nowadays.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

He returned to the ice and couldn't skate.

Given the way he looked it's absurd he was allowed to go back out. He couldn't even put any weight that leg.

 

[Camille the Eel]

There will be firings as well. I know it's become a bit of a meme but I'm all for Deboer if Vegas let's him go

I very much doubt Pete comes back here.

Pandolfo is coaching in college now, right, after being a Cassidy assistant in Boston. Boston's fast pace game is not unlike what we've been developing except that Boston played much more physically aggressive. Where's John Madden - maybe even an assistant GM - but he also would make a great head coach. Also Scott Stevens - is it possible that he wants to be behind an NHL bench and even so would he be a good fit with this uptempo run and gun club? He certainly knows what it takes to win.

I'd love someone with a Devils connection.

 

[Triumph]

Hey free emergency recalls.

Call up Tyce Thompson if Jack can't go.

Call up Halonen if Bastian can't go.

Neither have been with Utica long enough for their presences to be greatly missed.

Halonen can't be recalled, his contract doesn't start until next season.

You would like a save there but Palms did everything right, got the goalie moving and labeled a shot back across the grain far side. It was a goal scorers goal for sure. Does daws maybe anticipate that better with more experience ? Maybe.

100% give me PDB. Best coach we have had in a really long time.

I put almost nothing past this staff or medical team, particularly with the way they've handled the goalies this year. But I don't think it really serves anyone to sit Hughes if it truly is a minor injury.

I'm always weary about it in case it doesn't work out...hate to tarnish legacies...I'm really worried about whenever fitz tenure ends and Marty takes over cause you know it's happening.

Maclean went from franchise staple to clown real quick. I'd rather let my heroes remain that way in my head.

As far as Pete goes I'm sure if we came calling he'd at least consider it...everyone from the Lou era is gone...he has no prior experience with this group..after the first cpl training camp questions from our lack of media it will be no different than any other job

I don't really know why but I've viewed Marty as a clown for years so that'd change nothing for me. I really don't want him in charge though. I feel like that'd be a disaster

 

[Tao Jersey Jones]

Halonen can't be recalled, his contract doesn't start until next season.

Halonen can be given an ATO for one day on an emergency basis.

 

[Dialamo]

Oh god why? I thought I purged that memory!

I don't view him as a clown, but keep the f*** away from the GM position.

I'm also not very happy with this Rogalski guy we hired as goalie coach, who Marty pretty much outed himself as having a hand in that one on a podcast.

I may be unfair to Rogalski for slamming him for Blackwood's poor play since he took over and Melanson got canned, but we likely won't know for a while if Rogalski sucks or not.

I don't blame Rogalski for the failure of Jon Gillies, nor for not being able to help make Daws and Schmid NHL ready.

So are you ready to bring Cory back for maybe five or six years after his top performance today?

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

I missed this game, was the Hughes injury bad or what?

I feel like we'd go full dinosaur mode with Marty

 

[Bleedred]

We shouldn't be hiring DeBoer, because I don't think we're ready for him yet.

The organization is so different that I wouldn't think he would never come back again just because he was here before and got fired, but I think we're too young and still too unproven to be bringing him in.

If Trotz were on the hot seat (I don't believe he's anywhere near it) you know Lou would be trying to get Pete over there.

Absolutely.

I think he'd be a fantastic goalie coach.

 

[MadDevil]

The list of all time great players that also became good GMs is pretty damn short, so I'd say keep Marty away from that. Although to be honest I'm not sure that would really interest him anyway.

He was an AGM so who knows. Hopefully he hated it and wouldn't want a GM role.

He probably has much more security in his current role, which he allows him to have a hands-on approach, but to also lay back and just hang out in the background, without being THE guy as far as management goes.

Agreed. Something about listening to Marty over the years makes me think he would be an awful GM.
