but LJ is also a year older than the mediocrity we saw last year
No question Lovejoy is minimally passable but there are worse players out there. Just not in the NHL.

Kinda sucks for Deslauriers, but it's better than breaking the faces of our own players like he did to Speers
why cant Greene be beat out in camp for a spot?
Anyone have video of that fight?
Might be up on youtube at this point.Anyone have video of that fight?

Baddock connected with the only really powerful punch. You could see where he hit him. Didn't think he did that sort of damage though. Deslauriers is tough as hell to keep fighting on with that.
Vatanen is not even a second pairing defenseman? WUT?Its a joke if you think hes a first or even second pairing dman. Him and Sevo constantly miss their man in front of the net. Look at Sevo positioning on the second goal last night. I am OK with them being out of position trying to make plays in the Ozone. But, their positioning in their own end is horrendous.
More like Adam God Henrique syndrome.Vatanen is not even a second pairing defenseman? WUT?
I find people that don't like Vatanen are usually the people clamoring for the need to acquire some ''Defensive defenseman'' and think guys like Adam Larsson are like the best thing ever and are constantly swinging from his jock and other guys who help ''Clear the crease'', despite not being able to skate, nor possessing any skill at all.
An 82-game suspension would benefit the NJD

Gryba's not even going to play 8 games for the Devils, let alone 82. He's pure Bingo fodder.
so Sami Vatanen is a 3rd pairing DMan?

lol.
I think this is a perfect example of "people don't understand things outside of their little Devils bubble". They actually think that other teams have players like Vatanen on their bottom pairing.
Vatanen is a good player. He is not a #1 DMan, but I would say he is a #2/3 for sure. At least he played that way for much of last year.

Eric Gryba isn't even Krys Barch caliber
Vatanen, who played 21+ minutes a night for 4+ seasons in a row was a third pairing defenseman with Anaheim?

He had injury issues and fell out of favor in his last season or season and a half there, but that is some serious revisionist history to claim he was third pairing his whole time with Anaheim, even just based on his minutes as you posted.Vatanen, who played 21+ minutes a night for 4+ seasons in a row was a third pairing defenseman with Anaheim?
