Louie Lams today confirmed that Mr. Anger Management will not be skating in Tampa Bay for the Devils’ season opener against the Bolts next Thursday.
Well, at least the penalty sheet should be a little lighter. Tee-hee.
White was injured after taking a puck just above his eye during a routine practice on September 19th. The incident left White with a badly broken nose and a swollen-shut eye. Ouch.
Lamoriello claims there has been no significant damage to White’s eye, but doctors are holding off a complete diagnosis until the swelling subsides.
Oh Anger, feel better!

I actually like White so I am bummed he is out. Sure he has anger management issues but I really think he has improved compared to his earlier years. He also has become a leader on the team.
At least it is looking like we get to see Corrente make his NHL debut. I think he has a solid career in front of him.

I’ve said it before. He’s an unnecessary part of our lineup. Always clears the puck for an icing, horible puck handling skills, can’t use his size anymore. Rarely drops the gloves, lets guys get too close to Marty. For a big guy, he should be an ass kicker.
Also, Corrente will be in Lowell. Starting defense: not on these lines.

NJDevil,
I really believe Corrente will be sent back to juniors. He can stay for a week or two with the big club, but after further review, junior players under 20 can only play for their junior team or NHL-drafted team.

I don’t think White is unnecessary. For the past couple of years he has been the most physical defenseman the Devils have had. He also has played tons of minutes against some of the best players. I think he gets a bad rap because he takes some bad penalties, but to his credit he has improved a ton with his anger management since his rookie year.
I’m excited to see what Corrente will do in his 10 games.
