someone please protect the Hughes’s shoulders
get this ea sports curse OUT of here
Sucks he won’t be around on opening night. Beyond that, it is concerning due to how important it is that we start the season off getting ahead so that we’re not constantly trying to play catch-up later on.
But, the silver lining is it sounds like he’ll only miss about 2-4 weeks of the actual season. Could have been much worse.
A+ sleuthing to the person who posted that pic of him in the sling
It’s officially the start of our season today. A devil has been injured
Knew this shit the second they were on the cover..
Schit.
Welcome Kovacevic to the opening night roster…
Lmao so they wouldnt have said shit for a while had he not been spotted at the Michigan game? Totally tracks, remember how they totally hid that Nico injury, among others?
That said, not really concerned. This team has D Depth now. Hatakka is hungry for a spot, so now he gets a chance to get some NHL games where I just didnt see it happening with everyone healthy.
PS: There is no EA curse, especially if you look how the players did during their cover years.
Last season:
Neutral transfer season, blessed preseason, cursed season.
This season:
Good transfer season, cursed preseason, ????.
So maybe like end of October Luke will get to make his season debut then based on that time line.
Clearly they needed to say something after that picture of him was made public
Jim and Ellen should have put more skill points into shoulders.
That family’s shoulders are cursed.
We cannot catch a break.
Does Quinn have a glass shoulder too or is just our Hugheses?
Casey would have to have an incredible camp to make the roster. The devils actually have some defensive depth.
Hopefully this is just Luke diving on the EA Sports curse hand grenade to save his brothers.
Hatakkaaaaaaaaa time
Dougie, Siegs, Pesce, and Dillon are a good enough 4/6 to last until Nemec and Luke are 100%. We have enough depth with everyone else to fill the last 2 spots. Fitzy played it real smart this off season.
Well that sucks but thankfully we added a bunch of D depth to this team for this exact scenario. From the sounds of it he’s at worst going to be out until late October

Gotta think this is how the lineup, at least the defense pairings, shake out now
Blast this medical and conditioning staff into the abyss.
This has a very strong Yoenis Cespedes vibe to it…
#CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES
Obviously sucks but we have the depth to survive i just hope Nemo is also ok. Imagine Casey forces himself on the team in camp. Unlikely but at least there is good comp.
Atleast they announced something. That’s different.
God damn it the season hasn’t even started yet and a Hughes brother is already injured… what the fuck?!
Let’s get all our injuries done before the season starts.
