PA Woodsy Dooey

basically a pick-up game, main objective is to get out if there heathy

He might wear the "C" but he's definitely not the alpha dog in that locker room. Who might that be? Probably not on the roster yet... hence 4 alternate captains... with Lindy filling the Alpha role for now.

I like him as a player, but feel he'll be a key piece in a future trade with his home town team, Anaheim... similar to Savoie being moved to Edmonton. The emergence of Novikov and Komarov will make him expendable.

...and only 4 days to re-acclimate before their home opener on the 10th. Make it make sense!

Are the Devils there already?

12 days in Europe for 2 back-to-back games? I understand the need to acclimate, but 12 days? They're missing out on valuable pre-season games with a new coaching staff. 6 days is probably more than enough... and besides, the games are at 1p and 10a ET, what exactly are they acclimating to?

Tuch should definitely not be captain. He talks a big game and disappears for big stretches. He was the guy talking playoffs early last year and he largely mailed it in for the season. Dahlin is likely the guy, but would prefer someone who more consistently shows up to compete. Benson has all the traits, just too young.... I'd prefer they don't name a Captain until it becomes self-evident.

Two different types of players, but the edge goes to Kulich due to his NHL level size and strength.

On ice push-us are 10 times harder than on land. You have no leverage on your toes, it's more of a core exercise than anything else.

Nice career he carved out for himself. He would've done well under Lindy. Time to enjoy family.

"mid-range"? Could be lower back or abdominal? Or just your garden variety explosive diarrhea from all the wings he ate at the pre-camp team outing last night.

massive overpay but I'll allow it

moist wiener

prepare the banner 🙃

BJ's roster?

yes

If Helenius dominates, they'll trade Krebs.

Benson?

i'm on the west coast, 7p ET is fine w/ me... preferable actually

Cozens, Power, Benson all need to take that next step if they have playoffs hopes.
