I'm back

Time to see what our new center friend brings to the table, LGP.

Probably not, but this is a great test to see how legit they are.

>all white guys
you'd think they'd have some diversity since the whole nation is watching them now.

>No Maroon for the Devils.

why?

LET'S GO DE-VOLS

He's coming from a Canadian team so he needs to get a work visa for the states, which takes a couple of days.

>DeSmith
>not black
HOL UP

honorary black
>n 2014, DeSmith was faced with allegations regarding domestic abuse

thanks

wait, I thought he was from St. Louis

You know what. Just go back to shitposting in the general.

This is EXACTLY what that leaf was talking about yesterday . FFS he got traded from Edmonton

Once you touch him the mother won't take him back

but how is his family inSt. Louis? That's what he was crying about in that video

agreed

how sweet it will be if the Devils win, kek

HAHAHAA

WANTED TO POST "NUMBER 1 COMING UP" BUT kYLE got to it before me

who's the Pens goalie now?

Palmieri been on fire the last few games.

based Keith

fire Vatanen

BASED

FUCKING

MILES

yeah man, get rid of the bet defenceman on the team

nice bait retard

I swear, Bratt is the most important disc of the Devils' spine

>confusing opinion and bait

How about giving an actual response.

Something like "I disagree, I believe that X is a better defender than Vatanen"

That is how two sided conversations work, do you understand?

And here I thought you literally couldn't get any more retarded.

well, your opinion, if it is genuine, shows that you are not very familiar with hockey

stop replying to grease

Yeah, it's definitely not the guy who has a legitimate shot at the Hart Trophy.

Just fuck off and watch football, that's obviously more your speed

Fuck you nigger. Just fuck you.

Kill yourself you greasy pathetic mongoloid

based grease

Care to give an actual hockey related response?

if Hall deserves the Hart, Bratt deserves the Calder

grease has watched like 10 games this year and they're all devils games he's that retard at work that calls into the radio because he has nothing else in life

You sure about that? You sure there isn't another rookie on your team that plays on your first line and might be a little deserving of the calder. Does anyone come to mind?

Bratt has done fuck all in weeks. Now fuck off
I'm not giving you another (you)

fun game so far hope the devils get in would be a good series

Vatanen hasn't been very good and the ducksbro agrees that the trade was more beneficial to the Ducks than the Devils

He doesn't have assists and he is very prone to turnovers.

Butcher, Santini and Greene have been far better and substantial

I wish he was a little better.

STOP fucking replying to Grease you retarded Yinzer niggers.

I think Bratt is better than Hischier.

If you have been on /hoc/ for morethan a month you'd see me repeating that many times

Holy fuck my head just exploded. it only took two days of badgering you to get a response that wasn't completely retarded. Well done.

Believe it or not if I see your flag I don't bother to read your posts 99% of the time.

don't complain then, I won't spoonfeed you

There isn't a thing about hockey that you could spoon feed me.

>and the ducksbro agrees
AHAHAHA

Bratt's calmness and puck control is better than seasoned players of the NHL.

He deserves comparisons to Mathews and Kadri

When was the last time Bratt even got a point grease?

I'm not even being rhetorical, I literally can't remember because it's been that long

>that wasn't completely retarded
Except he's wrong on every single point of his post. Vatanen absolutely has been excellent and since coming to the Devils would be on pace for his best offensive season through 82 games. Santini hasn't played in New Jersey in 2 months now because he was sent back down to the AHL because he wasn't being very good. Greene has been nothing short of terrible, posting a terrible +/- in a season where it should be much better. He's been a black hole offensively and where we really need him, PK, he absolutely struggles. Butcher has been good but he gets absolutely baby minutes heavily shielded. He is so shielded in fact that the team had been running 7 defenseman for quite some time to give him PP minutes and Offensive zone starts exclusively.

Grease is a retarded that knows nothing about hockey or the team he pretends to watch. Stop replying to him.

me too

why do they call you yinzers?

>Mathews
I don't think so.

Oh I didn't mean it like that, I know he is wrong. I meant that he put together a post with some semblance of a legitimate response. Thanks for you're write up though that's a lot more informative.

you're so stinky smelly and pathetic that after all these years you still can't afford google lmao

>thinking Vatanen is good
>judging defensemen for their offensive abilities
>is probably the same guy who asks about Bratt's points

listen, you can only read statistics and your opinions is irrelvant

you want instant satisfaction and can't understand qualities and degrees of them

so shut the fuck up

>It's a grease thinks everyone with the same flag is the same poster episode

greece btfo yet again

You are so fucking stupid. It's almost impressive. Everyone knew what kind of player/defenseman Vatanen was/is and he's been exceeding expectations. He was brought in to generate offense and improve the breakout which was struggling. And because Greene has been so fucking shit we've even been able to slot him in on the PK, neat!

But hey, what would you know, right? You think a player who has been scratched multiple times this season and is literally not even in the NHL right now is our "best defenseman." Okay bud.

he's a defenseman and is shit at defending

instead of saying y'all like in the south or you'se like in philly or jersey we say yinz. i guess it's just the most recognizable thing that we say in Pittsburgh.

so are you

Well to be fair wasn't the main reason Santini got sent down was because he was the only Dman who didn't have to clear waivers?
I actually thought he was playing decently (though definitely overused against team's top lines) before getting sent down

go away you're embarrassing

Just stop posting, lad. You got absolutely exposed and blown the fuck out.

ha, nice

mature answer, you hurt my feelings

he 's had goals and assists, if you want to talk about offensive abilities

WOOHOO

We're actually up! God damn

Just give him the Hart Trophy already, NHL.

>vatanen
>good

I wish

half the times, it's Bratt holding the puck in the offensive zone

Hall was unlocked because of the team

>grease hates vats
Wtf I love Finns now

Nobody says you'se in Jersey. Ever.

desu I hated Vatanen until ~3 weeks ago and was very against the trade. But this meltdown the shitskin is having over him has further solidified my favor for Sami.

Thank you based Suomi, truly our greatest ally.

you only watch devils games lmao

north jersey new york wannabe

reminder grease found out bonino isn't on the pens anymore today. he profoundly corrected his statement by saying oh yeah he was traded to the islanders. he really knows hockey

What is this sandwich called?

that fat fag from new jersey that pretended it's not just canadian bacon from new jersey's sandwich that he raved about but it ended up sucking

pork roll

hahhah XDDDDDD

I don't hate him, don't jump to conclusions

too many turnovers, few steals

explain how he helped so far

>he's been exceeding expectations. He was brought in to generate offense and improve the breakout which was struggling.
>Vatanen absolutely has been excellent and since coming to the Devils would be on pace for his best offensive season through 82 games

he has 19 points, Santini has had 17, probably with as much or even more games.

Butcher has had 30 and 2 +/-

Vatanen's is -3

congestive heart failure

for real stop hitting enter so much faggot

And he's paired with Greene who is -5. Literally the Zidlicky 2.0 we picked up for offense has had to play with Greene and cover up his shit. Already addressed Butcher and his baby minutes.

Now stop posting. You clearly know nothing about hockey and you clearly know nothing about the Devils. This is your last (You).

nice argument

why are you so angry all the time? cocaine?

He won't know who Zidlicky is

he's such a loser he thinks unquoted posts are about him when they're not

He might. He was a surprise guest at Elias' retirement. Wait. Do we know if Grease knows who Elias is?

Greene's minus 5 is probably because he plays with Vatanen, lel

why are her feet blurred?

we had him, gave him to the Islanders

like Larsson to the oilers

Zidlicky, >Havlat, and Weekes were at the ceremony which I found hilarious

>we had him, gave him to the Islanders
Uh no you didn't. SeeIs that your default answer for everything? He was traded to the Islanders.
