GoOzzieGo 22 Report post Posted March 21, 2015 Couldn't stand him when he was with Nashville, felt bad for him for the raw deal he got while here with the Wings, feel good for him seeming to have found a home in New Jersey. 9 goals but only 5 assists in 57 games for them this year....not too shabby production for a guy who brings other intangibles to the game as he does. Not the prettiest goal I've ever seen but still a feel good story watching it.... http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?hdpid=49&id=785715&navid=nhl:topheads 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted March 21, 2015 That was a nice goal. I've been watching some Devils hockey since he went there. I can't believe that we couldn't find a place for him when he was here. He does much more than just pester and fight. 5 Hey man nice shot!, chaps80, 13dangledangle and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He makes things happen with hustle and gives it every shift.

I can't believe that we couldn't find a place for him when he was here. He does much more than just pester and fight.I think he would be great on the fourth line with Miller and Glendening, jurco on the third line and Andy out. Unfortunately Tootoo almost seemed to be trying too hard to fight on our team which in the end probably was his downfall Edited March 21, 2015 by mvanpop 1 T.Low reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themcityblues 249 Report post Posted March 21, 2015 Nice goal. I've always felt Tootoo had speed, grit and hands. Still seems like he has a lot of unlocked potential. Just needs the night team and coaches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel our team lacks emotion and forechecking momentum, and he could have helped here if given a fair shot. But I guess he just wasn't defensively responsible enough or whatever for Babcock. Remember he got got benched and later permanently scratched in the playoffs after taking one penalty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,524 Report post Posted March 23, 2015 As always, glad to see Tootoo doing well. He was a classy guy when he was here, and I'm happy to see him land on his feet. Hopefully this season's effort will earn him something a little bit more long term from the Devils. He probably wouldn't be a bad guy to have around during their rebuild. He's got the right attitude and the right work ethic. Probably isn't going to make a difference on the ice most nights, but could be a good locker room guy for the kids they'll be bringing in soon. 1 Hey man nice shot! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I loved him with the Wings, he is high energy all the time and was never given his shot here. Im glad hes getting a chance, the Devil's or not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even when the Wings are playing them, I think about whether I want to watch. Not really sure if you've noticed, but Detroit's shot suppression game isn't exactly exhilarating to watch. Last I knew we were at, or near, the top of teams with fewest shots (for and against) per game. These days it looks like we're not too different from New Jersey.
