That would be cool only because I know nothing about the guy and hope he can at least not get completely run over.

Up close look at Cory's new mask if anyone is interested. https://twitter.com/NHLex...status/512605653454839808

Needs an image of him standing on top of a conquered Marty.

Agree that he should spend a year in the AHL and be #8 D for NJ. 4 players age 23 and younger is a promising yet scary thought

That's why Fayne would've balanced out our defense's age

We either have really young guys or really old guys. And then Greene. He's the only tweener in his prime

I love when you're logged into your other accounts lol

It kind of stinks for Severson, but maybe bringing him on more slowly is for the best. I think he's probably just as good as the other 3 young guys, but even if he outplays a few guys, i don't think it'll matter much, he'll still be in Albany do to the contract situation.

I'm more interested in the forward battles. There's even less room there, but the spots are not held as tightly. You have Elias, Zajac, Jagr, Henrique, Camalleri, and if he's healthy, Clowe. Everyone else should be battling for their spot. Can Boucher show enough to force a trade or waiver placement? How about Matteau? Can Josefson take a step forward. 40 points in 60 AHL games, yet he hasn't been able to turn that into any success in the NHL. I'd like to see him take a spot in the regular lineup.

not bad not bad. a little excessive with the "shine" or whatever effect is sprayed everywhere. I liked his old mask. The darker/redder look will look cool too. It's preference I guess. Some people love Clemmenson's mask, but it's not my cup of tea.

you can't just ask him for the nudes like that.

Cant wait to see his set up! He was trying out some bauer gear in the summer but it looks like he went back to the vaughn pads and ccm gloves in that video of Cam and Havlat skating around.

you know, the big dragon mouth or snake or demon, whatever it is. what he's always had.
i get it.. it's kinda retro-ish, has a niche, but not my niche. I don't hate it, but I don't like it that much.

Looks like Spiderman's enemy Carnage... Both masks are pretty cool. I like Vaughn better than Bauer. Old school hockey! I miss the jofa helmets and the plain white Brian's goalie masks but demons or zombies are always really cool! I hope Severson makes it and we trade Salvador... I do agree rookie mistakes are costly, I saw Fayne and Gelinas making them last year, but don't get me wrong I like them both. I miss Fayne but I see him make a couple silly mistakes last year, as well as Gelinas, maybe more commonly. I didn't see Larsson enough last year to judge.

#thenextneidermayer

Severson= Niedermayer
Gelinas = Souray
Merrill = Martin
Larsson = Rafalski
Santini = Stevens
Hegelson= Albelin?
Scarlett = Rafalski minus 20 pounds lol

the future is bright, folks.

I can see us bringing him back next summer instead of Zid.

Chere talking to Boucher:

“It’s going to be difficult. It’s a step up from the American League. It’s the best league in the world,” Boucher said. “But I feel that I can still put up numbers. Maybe not 95 points, but I can still put up some numbers.”

The Devils have only had one 95-point scorer in their entire history. That was Patrik Elias, who scored 96.

“I hope so. I hope I develop into a guy that can put 95 points up,” he said. “I wouldn’t guarantee that, but I’d like to.”

Let's slow the (frank) down, Boucher. Low expectations are good expectations.

high expectations may equal high motivation for some players. Lets hope Boucher is one of those players. Even if he only hits 60, the motivation and work ethic that he potentially has makes those 60 points the best 60 points we could have.. as opposed to 60 coming from a Ryder-type player.

u guys reading TG's tweets? Jagr is an animal.

"I want to play until I'm 50, maybe more."
he think he can be "better" than last season, because he already knows the system and players and expects to have a healthy camp.
He signed a 1-year contract because he likes the challenge of having to earn another NHL contract next season.

heck, if he helps win us games then why the heck not?
