1. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, it’s an absolute failure for this organization if his number isn’t hanging in the rafters at the end of his career. He is the New Jersey Devils right now

2. I would have gone with you to the end… My captain… My king 👑

3. Forget star of the game, more like star of the team

4. “Keep it going that way”

   Such a Captain. Short, to the point, let’s go.

5. You can sense his frustration, with the season, with himself, and with the fans. He barely celebrates his own goals anymore.

   “Keep it going that way” is a bit of an admonition. He is protective of his teammates and the boos of the last month still ring in his ears.

6. Our horse. Hitch your wagons

7. I would start a world war for Nico

8. He’s the perfect captain, and I will ugly cry an embarassing amount if he ever leaves and/or when he retires.

9. Meanwhile there are plenty of neanderthals saying they want to move him and he’s not a good captain.
