#Isles twitter absolutely stupid being upset about Barzal not returning to the lineup until they’re back home. Obviously he needs a few practices before he can get going….

I have no problem with him not starting. Logically it makes sense. You dont have to feed into the media frenzy of this matchup. I think they only fucked up and made it look worse than it is by releasing an official statement to say who will be starting.
To recap:
1. Yes it would’ve been a circus if Helle played. Still probably will be a circus.
2. It’s not Sunny’s job to appease Jets fans or any other fans besides devils fans
3. In the statement, Sunny was talking about expected win probability with Helle in net for 2 games against Washington rather than 1 WPG and 1 WSH
4. It’s clear the wise decision is to play your backup against a bad team, which WPG is right now.. and to play your elite starter against a division rival you’ve had issues beating in years past. A division rival everyone expects to be near the devils at season’s end
5. There isn’t a world in which Hellebuyck wouldn’t want to play in this game.
6. Hockey media continue to make this some huge story. It’s nothing.
7. Buccigross represents the worst of hockey media. Been covering the league for decades and still doesn’t get that teams make decisions for themselves, not great TV
8. He also sent a weird shirtless pic to a younger coworker. Never forget.
9. Jets fans and the league wanted to see the circus with Helle in net. I want to be a billionaire. Can’t always get what you want. Cry.
10. I for one am glad to have a GM that puts this team first and made a wise organizational move knowing hockey media would make this a huge deal. He doesn’t give a shit about you, your podcast, or jets fans. Sunny’s the best.

#NJDevils are making the right choice in resting Hellebuyck so he can be ready for a tougher divisional matchup. But releasing a statement and not saying exactly that is a worse look and makes it seem like theres more on the Hellebuyck/Jets front.

HA. NO ISLES FAN CARES THAT JT WENT HOME. IT'S HOW HE DID IT ASSHOLE.
Tavares asked not to be traded, dishonestly misled the team and fans that he wanted to stay then snuck out the back door leaving the isles with nothing.
Brady on the other hand was honest, let the team get 3 1st round picks for him. If YOU can't see the difference tha IS YOUR problem.. – at Queens, NY
