We'll Win the Off-Season

@papiblez @HockeyGuy33MN I'm sure he's having way more fun in Minn than he did in Vancouver and appreciates the effort BG put in but that doesn't mean he's required to sign an extension. If Quinn does leave Minn for NJ next summer, then we'll call it even for Parise walking after NJ made the cup finals

@HockeyGuy33MN @Time4FreeAgents And it’s not changing any time soon so Quinn will have to go through the wagon known as Colorado every year. Plus Dallas will likely be back and better again next season.

Quinn Hughes is literally out there seemingly the entire game. This is why Fitz’s biggest failure is not getting him when he could’ve before Guerin swooped in. The guy makes every other defenseman much less important.

@GY3Cuda @papiblez I think he comes via UFA. I think the Wild's window is very strange, they have some amazing really young players but also a bunch of really old players that play a big role on the team and Quinn helps them have a chance next season even if he doesn't sign an extension.

@Time4FreeAgents @papiblez Trade this summer (if so what's the return from Jersey) Or UFA signing?

@papiblez Other signs...they wear NY hats in public, he went on SNL, Jack dating Tate McCrae in NYC...while everyone else is enjoying NYC, I don't think Minn is a good enough city or even team to keep him away an extra 3 years. Theyre old & a bunch of players on Minn are getting raises.

@papiblez I think the Olympics guaranteed he's coming to NJ after playing with his brother and winning a gold. The USA group chats, they're going to get together in the summer to celebrate...he hasn't forgotten about that experience and won't want to wait until he's 31 to play together.

@jacques_jams Has more goals than Brady Tkachuk in the playoffs.

I’ve heard Glendenings name in this OT more than I did all season with Devils

I think it's wild some people can say "this team would have been dangerous if Jack was healthy all season" and "Fitz poorly managed the team" but still think the GM change was the right move to help get the fans excited about the future of the team.

Had to change the profile pic with TF being fired. This was a weird season. I was right about some things but was very wrong about this team making the playoffs. I think the GM change was necessary, but think a lot of this came down to injuries and bad luck.

@nhljackhughes I get it that Markstrom wasn't great this season, but saying they shouldn't have extended him suggests there's better options out there. There are 14 UFA Goalies currently unsigned. Likely a bunch of them get re-signed between now and July 1st and their numbers aren't better.

A big “fuck you” to Tom Fitzgerald for leaving this team with that Markstrom extension. GET THIS GUY OUTTA HERE

@TheSiz1 @MrWhite1079 @papiblez They haven't been better since Tkachuk came back.

@Time4FreeAgents @MrWhite1079 @papiblez They also didn't have Tkachuk until Jan & the accepted cutoff for "Are you a Playoff Team?" is generally Decmeber 1st; like 80% of the teams in the playoffs on that day make the playoffs. Regardless, Jack Hughes is Pierre Turgeon. You won't win shit if he is your best player.

The one thing that might save Fitz (and Keefe) is that Jack Hughes has really only played about 44 healthy games this season and he's the engine that makes the #NJDevils go. If he is ever healthy for 82 games, the team is completely different.

@MrWhite1079 @papiblez How's Florida doing without Barkov?

@papiblez If your team sinks like a block of concrete in water because your franchise player is out, yet again, for months… that means your team is properly built. Good and/or great teams don’t crumble because of one injury. We’re neither good nor great. Period.

@jacques_jams He has been seen at NJ rinks training in the offseason.

When you come to NJ on a nice day off you can make it down the shore after practice and not have to go to some shitty condo in a country that hates you.

@DimesSeason They should use those assets for a 2nd/3rd line center...oh wait

cody glass atp could fetch a 1st and an A- B+ prospect

@DimesSeason Stamkos, ROR and March aren't leaving Nashville. They're there to chill, they've won their cups, not going to uplift family again.

who's excited for that Hearing the #NJDevils are trading Simon Nemec + for #Smashville Steven Stamkos tweet

@TheBrattPack63 Nemec bad pinch and then poor back check. Markstrom made first save, his team didn't get the rebound. Nemec needs to improve decision making.

Devils absolutely hammer away chance after chance, Ice is completely tilted they’re dominating but just can’t get the puck in Other team goes the other way, Markstrom gives up an awkward rebound, other team bats it down into the net to take the lead Devils hockey bay bee

@TheBrattPack63 Dougie, Dadonov and Cotter will be gone.

The NHL trade deadline is Friday Call your shot now, what moves do the #NJDevils make?

@DylanJanson4 @sdpnsports He was every where except backchecking Jack on the Golden Goal and got walked for the 1st goal. Don't blame him as much on the 1st one, tough play but the golden goal he coasted back until he saw Jack had the puck. Gold medal game, you don't coast back.

@sdpnsports Yall are smoking something.... never even heard Quinn name that whole game... makar was everywhere

Quinn Hughes vs. Cale Makar... who's the best defenceman in the world now? #SDP #mnwild #GoAvsGo

@TheBrattPack63 Prediction, Jack wears a Keller jersey and everyone loses their mind.

USA Hockey players at the State of the Union Address when they realize it’s a 90 minute political speech and not a night club with unlimited Michelob ultras

@Avalanche Makar was the USA's best player. Great defense today. Text book backcheck on the Golden Goal!

What a run from MacKinnon, Makar and Toews who are heading home with the silver medal 🥈

@kurri_jari @timwuud Makar's backcheck was terrible on the golden goal. Jack was his guy and he glided in instead of hustling to lift a stick.

Let's be honest. Canada didn't lose because of OT being 3 on 3. Canada lost, in large part, to the best of their best - Makar, MacKinnon - failing at the biggest moments. Makar and Toews let Matt Boldy go on an afternoon stroll in the park right past them, below. MacKinnon flubbed a shot on a gaping net. Makar gambles on the pinch in OT. And I'm still not sure went MacKinnon thought he was doing on Werenski. Then MacKinnon has the audacity to whine in his postgame comments. Shameful stuff from MacKinnon. And a very underwhelming performance by Makar in the tournament. Thank you.
