GBpakrzz Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 What's the latest on Zach in New Jersey? Is he going to make the roster this season or play again with the River Rats? Quote
AZSIOUX Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 they have not played a pre season game yet..very strange..but he has a chance to be a 2nd or 3rd line center from what i have been hearing...they are obviously very high on him and he is expected to be in he NHL this season.. Quote
crosby_87 Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 Zach apparently had a very good training camp. Some of the people on various Devils Chat Boards have said that he should be on at least 2nd line playing with very good people(some have even suggested he play with elias). Basically it would be a huge disappointment for the Devils and their organization for zach not to play there this year. Expect him to make an impact on their squad. Quote
Sioux Hockey Fanatic Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 Any word on the Olympic try out? I heard he was in Col. Springs. Quote
GBpakrzz Posted September 25, 2005 Author Posted September 25, 2005 I read that the Devils sent 24 players down today and now have 33 players on their current roster. Zach is on the roster still. Anybody know how many players NHL teams carry during the season? Quote
spfreak Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 I believe that a team carries around 25 players or so. I am not sure of the exact number though. Quote
crosby_87 Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 something tells me that its 24 players...but Parise is apparently having a good camp and is almost certain to make the team(if not one of the top 2 or 3 lines) Quote
redwing77 Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 something tells me that its 24 players...but Parise is apparently having a good camp and is almost certain to make the team(if not one of the top 2 or 3 lines) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Did the research else thread. According to the rules set up as a result of the 1995 CBA agreement, the roster size now for regular season play is 23 players. At the time (1995) it was 24, but the league decided that, in the event of any expansion, the limit would decrease to 23. Don't know why, but that's what the writing said. Quote
USA Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Parise has one so far in tonights game. Quote
sprig Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 If you have dish or directv, Rangers/Devils on Tuesday night is supposed to be on one of the Fox Sports Net stations, FSNY or NESN maybe? Quote
USA Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Both Parise & Bochenski were named the #1 star in each of their games tonight. Bochenski w/ 3g & 1a, Parise with 1g plus one more in the shoot-out. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 thats great to see, i mentioned stats in the former players thread... Both Parise & Bochenski were named the #1 star in each of their games tonight. Bochenski w/ 3g & 1a, Parise with 1g plus one more in the shoot-out. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote

Quote
Five-HoleFrenzy Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 I was able to watch Columbus and Chicago on FSNCN last night as well as the Rangers and Bruins, so no the games are not blacked out. I do not have NHL Center Ice, only the multi-sport pack with Dish Network. Quote
NDFlyer Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 I don't believe it is a blackout issue. Many of these games simply are not being televised anywhere. The Red Wings, Islanders and Rangers have been on a couple of times. Some of these games appear on the regional FOX networks and, as someone else said, if you receive those channels in the 620's you should get the games which are televised even if you do not have NHLCenterIce.

sprig Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Thanks, guess I'll fire up the dish a week early. Quote
ABER Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 There is a good pic of Zach on the team website. http://www.newjerseydevils.com/2005/html/home/site2005.html Quote
sprig Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Zach and Gionta looked very good together tonight vs. the Rangers. Zach got the first NJ goal, a PP on a deflection of a Martin shot from the point. Zach, once again, 1st star, 2 for 2. Can't imagine there is any way he won't make this team. He played for the most part on line 3 with Gionta and Kozlov. Quote
NDFlyer Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 There is no reason he should not make the team, although the debbies just signed Pascal Rheaume today. Look at their centers. Besides Gomez and Parise they have nothing in terms of playmakers. Nothing. Brylin and Rasmussen bring nothing to the table. BTW, that rangers team you saw out there last night might be the weakest team in the entire league. They have nothing. Even with Jagr and Kaspar in the lineup. Make it 8 consecutive seasons of missing the playoffs. LOL! Quote

Make it 8 consecutive seasons of missing the playoffs. LOL! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was at the game last night and Z Par did play a limited # of shifts. He was not playing his usual center position and as I found out talking w/ JP Parise at the game he has a dinged wrist and can't take a faceoff right now. That being said he was still out there on the PP and pen kill, as well as 5-5. In his limited playing time he really stood out. His deflection of P Martin's pass was right on the money. (a great looking play btw) He was named #1 star of the game again. I would be shocked if he didn't make the club this year. btw, the condor (barry tallackson) was playing and I'm not trying to be mean here, but really looked out of place out there. He had one scoring chance but still continues to play much smaller than he is. Also in talking w/ JP he told me that Jordan said he feels like he'll be able to pick up this season where he left off last season, which will be a big help to our young defense. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 i know madden from the devils wears #11. i noticed zach was wearing #51. is there a reason for this number? maybe his dad wore it or is it juts a random number since he is a rookie? anybody know?? Quote
