That’s a known Nono cardinal sin in pee wee hockey, not surprised he was benched for this…. It’s not a mistake if you know not to sauce the puck up the middle in the d zone at the NHL level
They are supposed to be professionals. Cry about it. If he won'y play defense, there are 100 guys that would love to play for a.team like NJD. Proper coaching. Accountability and professionalism. Thats why NJD have the history they do.
It's funny to me that half the disgruntled fans are complaining that Ruff isn't hard enough on the young players. And the other half are bitching that he's too hard on Holtz. They're all pretty enraged, either way, so there's that.
the devils suck, ive been a devils fan for 20 years and ive never felt worse about this team. we need an actual general manager. the entire bottom half of our roster sucks ass, holtz was bound to score a goal on accident, and Meier is going to ruin us for 7 years.
Quite possibly the dumbest thing I've heard all week. Jack Hughes, Ondrej Palat, Dougie Hamilton, Tomas Nosek, Jonas Siegenthaler, Brendan Smith are all hurt. Meier just returned. Hischier himself missed over a month. Injuries have been the bane of this team's issues.
@@xOogieBoogie3x bruh Palat has been a failure of a signing, Hamilton got exposed by the Hurricanes. Brendan Smith, and Nosek are AHL players at best. Meier has doomed this franchise for the next decade with the worst contract in history. We don't have a goalie. Take a look around the league... the Devils have ZERO fantasy viable players, i know this isnt fantasy hockey but thats a damning thing. Even Toffoli has been average. We are properly fucked.
I think they're going to be just fine, and I'd pump the brakes on Meier a bit considering he was playing injured. They are way to talented of a team and I'd say they will be the a premier stanley cup contender (and MAYBE a dynasty) once they get an elite starter. But yeah, that bottom-6 probably looks a lot better with Zetterlund and Sharagovich today.
@@EichelTower9 they wont be a contender until they get a real GM, promoting from within was the wrong decision. 2 lottery wins bailed the GM out. and yes Sharangovich averages more fantasy points than Meier and Toffoli, but he wasn't looking good in Jersey. Our home fans are paying a lot of money for losing too many home games.
@@xOogieBoogie3x Injuries, yes, and iffy goaltending. Their save % and GAA was near bottom before Daws got here. Team defense has probably been worse than last year but the timely saves definitely haven't been there.
