Yep. And even WITH the injury and his not producing at a 150 point pace, he's still getting points. It is insane.
There is a reason the team wants him out there at 75%.

Phone hearing so 5 games or less.
I predict 2 games.
I think the people that like him the most are the casuals, and most of the time they are the loudest. And let's not kid ourselves, outside of TOR, NYR has the biggest base of casual fans in the league.
maybe im wrong but i dont see a coach coming in here and convincing these guys to become savage phsyical throw body check type players. they need to dig herb brooks up and have them skate into the night. at the least watch miracle.
Rempe would've turtled up in a fetal position immediately if he didn't have Mommy and Daddy Ref to hide behind.only thing that would've been even more crushing is if mac did fight rempe and got killed.
I'm not at all against sitting him out at this point but, players want to play and I don't blame him. Two years ago they shut him down when the season was garbage. Watching Jack not at full strength isn't fun but, rather sad and frustrating instead.Jack Hughes is on pace for 99 points in 78 games right now with 62 in 49. 34g/65a/99 pts. So more assists than goals than last year but same point totals.
The only thing he's off on is his strength at keeping the puck on his stick. When healthy it's stuck there like it has double sided tape. Now it rolls off, often on its own. He's tried to force things, which is more of a desperation to remedy a bad situation than suddenly becoming bad at hockey IQ.
If you chalk it up to injury being the reason for the puck sliding off like the stick's buttered, hoo boy. Scoring at the same pace in a down season with an injury means he's probably even better than we think he is...
Nice, 2 would have been to lenient, fck emQuasimodo gets 4 games!
Top flight goalie i'm good with parting with MercerNo way do we give up on Mercer (unless you can get top goaltending), talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
Quasimodo gets 4 games!
yes he can 1, 2 umm 4Given how much alcohol his mother must have consumed during pregnancy for him to look the way he does I'm not sure he can count to four.
The season really went south during the last 5 minutes of our first Rangers game this year, when we outplayed them and blew a 2 goal lead in the third period to lose the game on a tying goal with 5 minutes left and then their winning goal with less than 2 minutes left when the Rags jumped over the boards on a bad change by us to go ahead on a tap in by Vesey off that rush. It was a breakout pass by either Fox or Shesterkin maybe.Yeah that was the hardest game to watch last night. No positives except Kahkonen who the organization has made clear has no future here.
It wasn't a blowout loss and they could have won but even some blowout losses don't sting as much as that game did. Still kind of mad about it. The team is a mess right now. It really does make me wonder if ownership is going to be comfortable with Fitz's performance after another 20 games of this.
I hope it is a full scale Donnybroke. Sit Nico and the Hughes bros too. Bring in some former Danbury Trashers!The Rangers are borderline stupid if they play any stars or start Shesterkin in the April game, that game is going to be the worst Devils Rangers game we'll ever see
My alarm bell went off a little after that game, when NJ lost 0-4 to Detroit on Nov 22. That was when I first thought, omg this team might actually miss the playoffs. I held onto the goalie scapegoat for a while even if I thought there were some deeper issues and it really wasn't until the post stadium series collapse when I realized this team had some big issues beyond goaltending.The season really went south during the last 5 minutes of our first Rangers game this year, when we outplayed them and blew a 2 goal lead in the third period to lose the game on a tying goal with 5 minutes left and then their winning goal with less than 2 minutes left when the Rags jumped over the boards on a bad change by us to go ahead on a tap in by Vesey off that rush.

Looking back on this miserable season, the last few minutes of that Rangers game, and not even getting a point out of it, after having a 2 goal lead in the 3d, was the moment that the 3 alarm fire bell really started going off for me. That now feels like the moment I felt we had hit the iceberg below the water line.
(And we who freaked out were called “doomers” and told not to be so negative. lol).
We went undefeated in the preseason thoughWe suck. The end.
Nothing is likely to happen. Maybe MacDermid fights Rempe but more than likely they exchange a few blows and tackle each other to the ice. Retribution NHL style doesn't really involve retribution just that you fight once. Again, fighting is useless. My sociopath strategy solves that problem and would ultimately make the game safer even if a few Rangers have to get CTE for the league to finally wake up. That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.I hope it is a full scale Donnybroke. Sit Nico and the Hughes bros too. Bring in some former Danbury Trashers!

MacDermid will show up, but we just don’t have the horses for that game. Meier can play heavy, Bahl should play like it more, but other than that…? I do like when Haula is in pest mode, though lol.The Rangers are borderline stupid if they play any stars or start Shesterkin in the April game, that game is going to be the worst Devils Rangers game we'll ever see

I agree if the situation was reversed because other teams are willing to go there as a team. Hischier completely incidentally was involved with Barkov on a faceoff and they spent multiple games going after him. You expect from Florida and they have the roster to do it.I mean in terms of them seething blood and actually going after Rangers players, I actually would take their top guys + play Quick if I were them. I'd also go without Rempe. Why would you even entertain the chance that the Devils take out a superstar with all that happens 2 weeks before the playoffs? if the situation was reversed and say it was us, I'd take out all our guys and probably eat the fines from the league that come from it. Not worth a shitty ass April game to lose your Cup chances on

Us? Our players will not do that. Who would you peg for it beyond MacDermid? There just isn’t that element in our roster and that’s why we get pushed around and brutalized over and over.
