  1. It’s the media’s fault . But the irony is devils barely have any media coverage definitely one of the lowest amounts of media coverage. Just imagine if they played in Toronto Boston or New York .

  2. Okay so…. if he’s not 100% and Fitz has given up on the year, scratch jack or limit his ice time.

  3. Was wondering about this w someone yesterday. Do we think Ruff/Fitz/the league are just terrified of displeasing Casa Hughes to the point of over indulging them? Certainly feels that way.

    Whatever the case, clearly not sustainable.

  4. If he’s hurt, let him heal. Luke is straight up struggling – give Nemec or Miller a chance on PP1. More minutes isn’t always more better.

  5. “This player is hurt and/or is making critical mistakes”

    “Ok so sit him to recover injury and/or teach accountability”

    *benches Holtz*

  6. I posted in an another thread wondering about the physio room. I feel like there should be someone there stepping in and making calls about sitting certain players rather than playing them clearly injured.

    Jack for instance is the most talented player in the league, but he’s no use to anyone but the opposing team if he’s not able play at full capacity every game.

  7. FWIW while there are probably some guys playing through some physical roadblocks, note Ruff doesn’t say anything about injuries or anything physical. “Players playing through stuff” could easily just be guys in their own heads that need to play through it.
