Couldn't see this coming 😂
They just dont make em like they used to.
With an injury in our first 3 games, we're officially on pace for 82 injuries this season ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
So I'm a 49ers fan. I'm used to players dying just a few games in.
It is almost like Fitz should have seen this coming and we shouldn't be banking on the team to stay healthy in order to be successful. Starting off the season with "injuries killed us" excuse already lined up.
Hopefully Allen plays lights out till Marky comes back
Why is it always the Devils that get hit with the injury bug
Good freakin lord…
Awwww crap 😢
The season is going south early this year. Nothing new here.
Gotta wonder if they hold off on extending Markstrom now. At least until the season ends. 2 lower body injuries in b2b seasons isnt good for older players
Dam, the Allen signing looks brilliant now. Next man up and must hold down the fort. We are more than capable of beating anyone with the group of players we have. Easier said than done but will have to buckle down even more defensively. Goalie(s) just have to give us a chance to win. No more than 3 in a game. Team is going to need crowd support but the Devils must harness that adrenaline rush. Sometimes guys try and do too much which is understandable in front of their own fans. I like the Devils in this one 4-3. First goal on home ice prediction: Nico Heeshowzaa!
Ace what do u think Allen the next four games then Daws one game and then Markstrom comes back
Glass half-empty, it's early to be tapping this far into the team depth.
If you want to be REALLY glass-half-full, this will maybe reduce Marky's overall workload, which isn't a bad thing for a 6'5" goalie past 35 years old. And Allen is on his game.
We will need Daws to have some good games. I think he's capable. Sometimes the D tightens up even more after a goalie injury.
Dont like how Allen blamed himself for Markstrom getting injured its not Allen's fault
2:03 Should say 24 not 23
Frustrating for sure but it's not just us, tons of injuries on all teams in just the first week. Brady going out for a month + just yesterday. Allen was standing on his head the other night for 2 periods, if he can continue to play at a high level I'm not worried……….as long as the injuries don't continue to come weekly. Daws can surprise, he's not a newb anymore. LGD!
It's fine. Daws and Allen gonna be fine. If the team plays like they did we'll be fine. Maybe daws will totally elevate his trade value.
This team will continue, as there is depth at every position. We need Hughes x2, Hischier, Bratt and Timo to stay healthy – those guys aren't replaceable. As long as they're close to 100% in March/April, they'll be fine.
Injuries are so common place for the Devils. They figure out a way to hold their own. I think and hope they’ll be a point this year for a long period of time where everyone is actually healthy and they can really do damage across the League.
8 known injuries thus far. If it rains, it pours is true, this is pretty much like a hurricane. Ironic given the same name of our nemesis team.
I don't like it, but i am curious if this is a acute injury or chronic, because of his sub par play lately and injury history. If it's a recurring thing, it may be brought up in contract extension talks.
I can't stand people complaining about the age of the goaltenders and blaming that and poor conditioning management for these injuries. Look we have been having some bad luck with injuries…it happens, and it could happen to anyone. When a 220lb man smashes your leg into a pole, that will injure anyone! Same goes with cramping. It happens. I remember when I was 16 or 17, I was playing softball in gym class. I was running as fast as I could to make it on base, but ended up tripping over the bag. I moved my legs all around like crazy to regain my balance. Well I definitely got a cramp, because right after that, I could barely put weight on one of my legs. The nurse had to bring a wheelchair out to get me. I stayed in the nurses office for a couple periods, staying off of my leg for a couple hours, and drinking some fluids, and I was fine…and that was at 16-17 years old. It could happen to anyone. Allen will be fine. He has upped his game last season, and really stood on his head on Monday. Hopefully he can bring that same level of play tomorrow.
I'm not sweating this Marky injury at this point. A couple of weeks means he won't be able to play in 4-6 games (depending on how hard they were going to lean on him for atarts). Allen is more than capable handling that with Daws filling in for 2 or 3 of those starts.
Daws is a solid backup goalie and this should push the defense to play even better in front of him so again, I'm not worrying about it. The crybabies looking for every excuse to complain and point fingers and be typical doomers can kick rocks. It's early in the season, NJ has time to overcome these bumps in the road, and if they're going to be Cup contenders then this is what your team has to be capable of surviving.
For fuck sakes brother, we can't catch a break
On pace for 82 injuries this season!)
Daws time… we really really needed this kid
didn’t even make it to the home opener. I still can’t believe this. I guess it’s time for Nico daws.
Oh No! Marky was our SWISS Jack Knife 🔪 🇨ðŸ‡
At least ace were not going to msg to give em a goal 😂
Im forever cursed…i pray to the hockey gods almost everyday..why do they continue to do me like this
Remember the days of having a goalie that could give u 75 games a season plus playoffs. Over 20 years. We were spoiled
What’s the problem put the pads on the Zamboni driver
On the bright side we have a guy who is outplaying him as our back up and Nico is no slouch either. On another high note, our boy Grits currently sits at 6th highest odds to win Calder this year after being unranked a week ago. Let’s go Devils!
Marky is a fantastic goalie, I’ve been with you on that – and I say that as a former goalie who has literally read books on the subject. It’s just real frustrating to see him get injured and this whole team constantly be injured. Is there personnel that could do something differently? Such as trainers? I think Allen will get us through this though, but man I’d like to make it the majority of a season without all the injuries. I know they thought they’d make us Penguins 2.0, but Penguins also had Flower, and this office was unconcerned with goaltending longer than they should’ve been. Again, Marky and Allen are solid, I got nothing against Daws, and hopefully Yegorov is the stud we’re expecting but man this eff’n hurts dude.
Never want to see anyone get hurt but it's not just us. Big time players/cogs to teams are out for extended periods of time.
Trochek LTIR, now BT with Ottawa out for 3-4 weeks. Early injury bugs hitting a lot of teams. If there's any solace better it happen early so there is time recover and make an impact than late season. One game at a time (psyched for 2moro) and we will see where we are at after 10-12 games. I like our team despite losing some impact players. We'll be okay!
we are on pace for 82 injuries this year lol
All jokes aside, serious question. If he continues to struggle with the rags and if they look to trade him would you be interested in Laffy? Personally I think he has a ton of potential and I think he just needs a change of scenery. Similar to Kakko. I’d like to have him on our 3rd or maybe 2nd line
Allen and Marky are both 35….🥴
I hate that I've become accustomed to these injuries. Doesn't even phase me anymore, I just expect it. Thank God we have the depth this season…LGD!
Uh…where do I start? Shaky start with the injuries for sure but we're only 3 gms in! Overall depth is improved. Hope to see Malek soon!
Allen will shine again while Marky is out. Seems more consistent but Marky makes more flashy highlight reel saves. Amazing athlete.
let's focus on the positives, we got bratter, nico, the hughes, timo and d core petty healthy
