Our coaching staff would probably do pretty well in a 3 on 3 match.

Devils coaches:

Lemaire - Oates - Robinson
Stevens - Dean
Terreri

Hedberg starting tomorrow night

Like I was telling CJ:

Thinking of giving Zubrus a 20 dollar Starbucks gift card on behalf of HFDevils for his 1,000th game on Wednesday.

Thank the Lord of the Light. Oh blessed R'Hollor, now I get to see Marty on Wednesday!

Although, I was hoping that he'd play tomorrow and Marty would chill on the bench Wednesday so we could shoot the **** with him.

I'd say a Venti!

Did I miss the spawning of a new board meme while I was away?

I'm sure Moose is just as good a conversationalist.

He is. I talked to him a bit at the end of last season saying I hope he came back, it was brief, but he engages. That's all well and good, but Marty is my idol, the reason I started following the Devils way back when, so that would have been an absolute thrillho.

DeBoer said C Travis Zajac (torn left Achilles) is not in NJ yet, but he has started to "skate more regularly and all the news was good."

Overall not bad though for a guy who missed an entire year

Although I am not quite eating crow, it is out of the oven and on the plate.

I thought Bryce Salvador was completely shot and would utterly shart the bedsheets this season.

The fact that he has been competent and fairly reliable in his own end is more than enough for me.

That's good. I hope he can come back and play effectively before the new year.

saying a little bit about how bad it was last year.

HALF of last year.

It was like a messy divorce and we got part time custody of a real hockey team. "I want to go stay with Uncle Lemaire."

[Jaysfanatic*]

And then when it started to pick up, Lou fired Mac, as that was the ONLY thing that was working. And of course, it was with Zajac on the point. If they don't do that this year, I give up.

[guyincognito]

That's funny, that our abomination of a PP is still better than last year's. God that team was bad, and that 15 game run doesn't even contain the worst of it.
