The Devils have a culture of failure
I liked him. He's no Cangi or Doc but the bar is very high.Was everyone a fan of Bill Spaulding in his first game last night?

right? and that was with Hischier being there EVERY game. It was maddening to watch. I’d love for this coming season to be the nail in the coffin for Recchi’s coaching career. But if Adam Oates could claw his way to relevance for so many years despite being a terrible coach, i doubt Recchi’s going away any time soon.
Spaulding yes, Dano no, and i normally love Dano even though i don’t think he’s a great fit for the job. But i’m sure he got more than enough “let the new guy talk” comments after last night so we’ll see how the rest of preseason goes.

Yeah i’m saying he shouldn’t ever get another coaching job. Brunette’s definitely been working with the powerplay units all throughout camp and it looks like it’s really paid off so far.You might have forgotten, but Recchi is gone. . Or I misread and you're saying he shouldn't get another gig anywhere else.
I think Brunette is running the PP presumably, correct?
John Feliciano the Center for the Giants had a case of cramps in training camp that lasted days as well... it happens.I used to get cramps in my calves that would cripple me for days, it feels like a charley horse. It takes a while for it to get right.
Yeah but that app still doesn’t work. Screw them and screw Verizon.Another aside:
I like the change from MSG+ to MSGSN.
Just makes it sound a little less overflow-y.
Good point G-Money. Editing my post.I didn`t like previous PA announcer, but as I remember he is a devils fan> Just imagine he is hfboards user. Former user at least.

Was not a big Cangialosi fan so fairly low bar for me. Place I watched had the sound on the Yankees game - he couldn't possibly be more of a hometown shill than Michael Kay and David Cone so Spaulding gets a pass by default.Was everyone a fan of Bill Spaulding in his first game last night?

loved palat's game.. just what the doctor ordered for a guy like hughes and the team in general small simple plays in all zones... sorely needed on this team...Game was a lot of fun! Really liked what we saw across the board. Thought Vanecek looked solid in goal, liked what the defense did as a whole. Holtz already looks improved from last year with the little things. Helps win a board battle and the vision to see Jack out front with a perfect pass.
Wood-Haula-Mercer look to have some chemistry, hope it sticks. Haula looks to be what we've sorely needed in the middle of our lineup.
I'd still make it, you need a solid foundation for a team to grow and he's a big part of that, even if his numbers alone don't justify $9M a year.loved palat's game.. just what the doctor ordered for a guy like hughes and the team in general small simple plays in all zones... sorely needed on this team...
I still think Hamilton is overatted. i know why they signed him at the time.. but if I could dial back time i don't make that deal. liked what i saw from the rest of the guys
He won me over when Dano went on a 1 minute discussion on why Mercer was out with Hughes and Spaulding said it was just a slow line changeI liked him. He's no Cangi or Doc but the bar is very high.
If Cangielosi is setting the bar high then Im going to assume youre just high off a barI liked him. He's no Cangi or Doc but the bar is very high.
I describe it as a Victorian marriage at this point, we’re stuck with him.He was fine last night and should get better with time. I was mildly perturbed that he said something about Dano seeing "most if not all" of John MacLean's games, despite Johnny Mac playing about 4 1/2 seasons in the NHL after leaving the Devils, but I'll give him a pass on that one...
Dano was all over the place, even worse than usual. It's like his brain can't keep up with his mouth and he's just frantically searching through the rolodex of chiche's in his mind to find the proper one as he rambles on over the play. I really like Dano personally and I know he's locked in that position, but seems like Salvador would be a better color commentator. Really like the insight Bryce brings to the broadcast.
He was probably rambling more than usual because he has a new partner. Perhaps he was trying extra hard to keep up the conversation or make Spaulding feel at homeHe was fine last night and should get better with time.

You can’t ever stop @NjDevsRR. Ever.)

Last year was rough for him because of injuries, but if he pots 55-65 points this year, which I think is a strong possibility with natural progressions (from him and other players) and a better PP with Brunette, he’s worth it.I'd still make it, you need a solid foundation for a team to grow and he's a big part of that, even if his numbers alone don't justify $9M a year.

Exactly. He was far from bad defensively.He wasn’t bad defensively to start last year either and he was his strong playdriving self. Hopefully being healthy again and having the backup of a D God besides him will have him back to peak form. That form is easily worth 9
Please, he was no Lovejoy.Exactly. He was far from bad defensively.
No one can touch Big Benny Lovejoy!!Please, he was no Lovejoy.
It doesn't matter if they like him more than Studs. I think it's going to come down to whether they value him more than Geertsen, Johnsson or Tatar.
re: Palat with Hughes, i just don’t think their games sync up, and that’s how it’s looked in their games and scrimmages together IMO. To me, Palat’s more of a cycle guy than an east-west rush guy, and Hughes and Holtz (especially Holtz) aren’t there yet. But if Palat can get to the net and clean up rebounds and loose pucks, i can see it working. I’m just not sure it’s the best fit.
