Diskuze o jednotlivých týmech nejkvalitnější hokejové ligy na světě.
však preto som upresnil, že sa bavíme iba o špekulácii, všetko je ešte vo hviezdach.., ale prítomnosť skautov NJ na našich posledných zápasoch nám k takýmto špekuláciam troška dopomohli...Bluesfan píše:Ja sa do tejto debaty pre istotu nezapojím. Len poviem svoj názor. Medzi STL a NJD nenastane podľa mňa žiadna výmena
. Dnes NJD nepotrebuje neprevereného mladého obráncu.
DISCLAIMER: New Jersey v budúcej sezóne NEbude mať problémy s tzv. PLATOVÝM STROPOMBluesfan píše:Getzo neviem proste si myslím, že je to nereálne. Aj keď ako povedal Ivan obránca by sa Vám hodil a kvôli Kovymu možno hrozia aj problémy s platovým stropom ale jednoducho mi to nijak nesedí
Najpravdepodobnejšie bude stále zaostávať za priamou konkurenciou posledných rokov, ale toto organizácii nehrozí. Platový strop pre novú sezónu sa bude navyšovať cca v rozpätí 2-3m a aj keby k nemu nedošlo, projektovaná finančná záťaž je cca o 8-9 miliónov nižšia čo bohate stačí ako na Pariseho re-sign, tak na podpísanie hráča do tretej lajny nehovoriac o prípadnom trejde a vykrytí tohto neháklivého postu z vlastných zdrojov.

). Logicky, mlady obranca za mladeho utocnika by bolo uplne super, napr taky Paajarvi 
Len je otazne ci by sa nam neico take podarilo dohodnut. 
Každý k svojmu.
i thought i would post a recap of the kovalchuk situation for those without the time to read back through all these pages of ridiculousness. both sides are presented in a fair and balanced manner- kind of like fox news.
ilya kovalchuk is a very good hockey player. he is not having a very good start to the season. the other hockey players who play for the devils are not having a very good season either. however, kovalchuk makes more money than other players, so expectations are higher.kovalchuk has not lived up to these expectations yet. However, it is important to note that he is in year one of a 15 year contract. It is also important to note that Kovalchuk has scored more goals than anyone during the lockout. He is a very skilled offensive-minded player with a very good slap shot. On more than one occasion, though, he has whiffed on a shot, contributing to a loss. the devils fans at hockey's future (all being former hall of famers themselves, with a long resume full of hockey experience and general overall intelligence) have tried to explain why kovalchuk's not fitting in well with the team, and what he could be doing better. Hopefully, Mr. and Mrs. Devils pay attention to these posts and explain it to their professional ice hockey teams players.
one could ask why the devils offered kovalchuk such a long contract for such an unreasonable cap hit of 6.66 million dollars. speculation is that jeff vanderbeek coerced lou into signing this contract. The rumors are that Jeff thought that he would invest $100 million dollars into one player in order to add some pizazz to this hockey team. Playoff failures for 5+ years did not factor into this decision. crude scribblings in jeff's office tell the true story...the following is a duplication of jeff's marketing plan-
1) Get Kovalchuk in order to sell a few thousand seats more per game at the low cost of $100 million dollars.
2) Park a dilapidated army vehicle outside the arena.
3) Sit back and watch the profits roll in.
The other factor that must be considered when talking about Ilya Kovalchuk is his coach. John MacLean has not been able to utilize Kovalchuk the correct way. Under every other coach in his career, we see numbers of a superstar. only now are we seeing him falter, along with a number of other veterans, under John MacLean. Is this John MacLean's fault? Lets delve deeper into his skin-globe to see whether he is to blame.
Mac had much success in Lowell/Albany, and many felt his offensive style would be the perfect compliment to the newest member of the Devils family (kovalchuk, not the army vehicle). however, the teams early struggles in the preseason would be foreshadowing for a long year. Aside from 10 minutes of the season opener, maclean's devils would score only 50 goals through their first 27 games. to put that in perspective, the last place islanders- losers of 14 straigh games- have 3 more goals than new jersey...despite having played in 2 fewer games! does maclean deserve some blame? perhaps. more blame than kovalchuk, one of the many players underachieving this year? most certainly not, some would have you believe.
lastly, we come to the defense. after GM lou made a 5 year, $60 million contract offer to paul martin on July 1st, many thought he would re-sign. however martin, whose season was cut short by injuries, chose instead to take a pay cut with the penguins. when asked why, paul martin told chico resch this:
"I was never going to sign in Jersey. Lou completely botched my surgery. He said he had done it before on some neighborhood cats, and went on and on about how cats and humans were the 2 most similar animals on the planet. They didn't have biology in the Elf community where I grew up- I just assumed he was right. Now that I think about it, I heard him ask Albelin (who was assisting him on the table) 'Where's his tail?' just before I went under. No, no, nothing adds up at all! I'm startig to think we have nothing in common with cats!"
And away he went, lapping milk from his saucer. 2 defensemen were brought in to ease the pain of his departure- one good, one bad. In the end, Kovalchuk asked Lou not to negotiate with Martin until his contract was complete. Martin, unable to meet those demands, chose to walk.
Lastly, we have leadership. Jamie Langenbrunner, team captain, has added a negative, cancer-like effect to our locker room ever since his tiff with Lemaire. In the end, Langenbrunner won as Lemaire 'stepped down'. The success of Kovalchuk under Lemaire (or lack thereof, depending on your delusional tendencies) would not be replicated when MacLean took over (see above). Reports coming out now suggest locker room troubles- cliques, disorder, and jealousy- essentialy what you would find in any middle school homeroom class. Is Kovalchuk to blame for this? As the $100 million dollar man, yes. I'm sure that Elias looks at his millions, and wants a little bit more. It's human nature. Is Kovalchuk to blame for getting $100 million dollars? um...yes? he..forced lou to. um, he really wanted a speedboat..no he..ah i cant do this anymore. yes, he is to blame, ok?
Could Kovalchuk really be the cause of all the above? Could it instead be a multitude of reasons, things that were set in motion long before Kovalchuk sadi 'ca-ching'? Which is more logical? Did I really just waste an hour of company time writing on a hockey board? Yes, No, I don't know, Hell Yes.
So, there we have it. Is Kovalchuk the true reason why the Devils have had such a poor start to the season, as this thread would make you believe?
As I said, I tried to incorporate everyone's views into this summary, whether I believe them or not.
-I don't think Clarkson is coordinated enough to kick at a puck without killing himself.
-He was called for a dive in a game too where he clearly fell cuz he sucks at skating
Je to tak. O tejto hodine ani nepracujem mozgom natoľko, aby som to rozlíšil, ale žiaden kicking motion tam nebol. On je len tak nešikovný, že presne ako šiel do brány, tak ten puk korčuľou trafil. Ak to je dôvod na neuznanie gólu, tak by liga mala odškodniť rôzne tímy miliónmi za to, čo všetko už pouznávali... 
Ráno možno múdrejšia večera, uvidím.
(bonus - Fayne na blueline pri empty net...ten chlap nemá v NHL čo robiť, to nie je coach)
asi na to az dojde JVBmu trpelivost a poleti LL i s JMacam. Myslim, ze uz neni treba vyhazovat trenera, sezona je stejne ztracena. Navic se zda ze zacinaji pracovat PP i PK, ted jen doladit 5 na 5 a jeste treba udelame desate misto a tim se pripravime bud o Coutura, nebo jak se jmenuje nebo o Larssona.Martin #27 píše:Ještě že jsem to včera zase neviděl. Zase dostat 2 goly během prvních 2 minut?? ku*va já furt nevím na co Lou čeká
Podle me je treba zacit presvedcovat vsechny okolo, ze tym mame na ho*no ale jednotlivci jsou super a ze je urcite muzou poridit velmi levne, treba za svoje 1st picky

Akí zase obľúbenci, ježiši.megaton píše:tak ja bych se nedivil kdyby Lou koncil. Vek na to ma, uspechy ma taky, navic v Post lock-out ere se mu nedari a udajne neni spokojen ani JVB. Mozna by se tam libilo Stevensovi, co ja vim. Zda se ze nekteri byvali hraci jsou velice schopni GM.
Jinak jsem ted nasel odvahu podivat se na sestrih a musim rict ze ti vasi oblibenci Fayne a Corrente teda nic moc a co tak ctu tak zaznam jen podtrhuje to si myslim uz delsi dobu. Ani jeden nevypada na NHL ready. A jeste neco co jsem nevypozoroval. Proc ma Volch virazne mene icetimu nez Talli, Greene
Tu keď človek niečo pochváli, hneď je to zamilovanec... Fayne PRÁVE PRIŠIEL Z UNIVERZITY do p*če (sorry, ale inak nemôžem a to ma ešte natankoval jeden čo povedal, že je to Macovi obľúbenec z Lowellu, preto hrá ), tak ako môže byť NHL ready 
Už len to je dôvod na to, aby si nezaslúžil takú kritiku. Nehovoriac o tom, ako sa asi tak hrá s Tallinderom/alebo dokonca Greenem ku ktorému ho Mac dal... Corrente je iný príklad. V pre-season otras, začiatok sezóny neodohral, potom sa chytil, teraz opäť ukazuje, že jeho hockey sense je na pekne mizernej úrovni. Ako 1st rounder je to určite sklamanie. Na druhú stranu, v 4tom útoku nikdy nevyzeral zle a nerobil chyby pri coverage, to by mohla byť cesta a tam by som si ho aj pokojne predstavoval. Má na to fyzický prejav, strelu a odbráni toho dosť. V obrane ale jeho nedostatky vyplávajú na povrch prirýchlo. V útoku rozhodne nie. Asi tak. Whiteov čas je ok, Švédov a najmä Greeneho (-18 pred zápasov, koľko po ňom? ) nie, to máš pravdu. Hovoriť o TOI hráčov, Mac je pako, to sa nevyjadrujem. Ale pako je aj Lou, že Tallindera podpisoval.V perióde keď hrali nad svoje aktuálne možnosti a nad možnosti zvyšku? Áno.megaton píše:tak mozna ze ne oblibenci ale vami uprednostnovani hraci.
aj ked som sa nadejal ci nenastane nejaka zmena,ako zistujem sa zda ze vsetko postarom(Mac)
Zhodneme sa asi aspoň na tom, že jediný ofenzívny bek v tíme ( ) je rozhodne upgrade toho čo je vonku teraz...
tak jedinej upragade je ze je/ma byt, ofenzivni. jeho AHL stats jsou tipicke pro letosni devils ted dva zapasi minus 3a zadne body. Mas urcite pravdu ze horsi, nez je to ted, to uz byt nemuze.
