They are on the downtrend, i said this a while ago.
Injuries will add up, swagger will diminish, players not overachieving anymore

Be prepared for a rough stretch.

They will have a hard time making the playoffs

That was three weeks ago when i posted this.


Here's a funny nugget of entertainment from @WhiskeyYerTheDevils

Why are the Devils 21-4-1? insane easy schedule, makes perfect sense.

I haven’t heard of half the guys on their team and I watch a ton of hockey and all of them are contributing It's the ultimate team game. Basically how the Habs got to finals and yeah, Canadian division helped. But thinking it was only Price is foolish. Danault, that big/mobile top 4D...

I will bet you any amount of money they make the playoffs.

I will still make that bet.

Nico is the softest C in the league.
They may have a strong regular season but get bullied in playoffs

Because he wouldn’t fight a dude like Tkachuk lol ok then

Isn't your team upset because he supposedly hurt your soft C?

He’ll be there though. Will your caveman make it?

 

[Xirik]

Yeah, Nico is going to throw punches when he was already put in a headlock by Tkachuk. If he really wanted to fight then he should have squared up with Nico.

Though Tkachuk rarely thinks, he just does so he probably didn't know what he was trying to do.

 

[haak84]

Lol Nico is going to continue to clown the Florida centers. Rent free ya babies.

 

[Csonked Out]

Florida is just mad that maybe just maybe replacing Burnette with Maurice wasn’t the best of moves

if we exclude centers that get injured when the opponent tries to win a a faceoff.. maybe?

 

[Bread and Circuses]

What a clown Tkachuk is, dude has at least 25 pounds on Hischer and doesn't understand why you don't do that.

Brunette was a bust in the playoffs for us. We were lucky to win the first round after his inability to manage our special teams.

Hopefully Ruff knows when to change things that aren’t working

Your p***y jumped him after we ended the game

Blackwood: hold my beer.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

You’ll notice Tkachuk gets rambunctious after the empty netter, after the whistle, and after there’s a sufficient number of zebras around to make sure nothing gets too rowdy.

He isn’t the badass you think he is.

Maybe Tkachuk could score on 2 on 0's down low a bit more before he loses it like a loser late in games. Have fun with him disappearing even if you make the playoffs.

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

If McDavid injured Barkov instead of Hischier, would anyone seriously come saying that McDavid should fight Tkachuk for it?

If anyone its business between Barkov and Hischier once Sasha returns. What an ascinine thought that Hischier should fight someone like Tkachuk. Tkackuk needs to get a suspension for this shit.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Blackwood: hold my beer.

He was tremendous tonight, no Devils fan is actively rooting for him to suck but after the last 3-4 years we've been beaten up mentally with him lol

 

[tmg]

What a clown Tkachuk is, dude has at least 25 pounds on Hischer and doesn't understand why you don't do that.

Never mind the size. After two officials already separated them and ended the altercation, he shook the official that was with him, to chase down and throw a punch to the back of the head of the other player who was still being held by his official.

What a gutless puke. It’s not just engaging a smaller player, it’s evading an official to go chasing and cheapshotting a player that was already restrained by another official. So tough. Such character.

 

[Whaddagoal]

That shit was even accidental.... So stupid. Nico lives fully in their heads.

People calling Nico soft captian while their captain was taken out on a soft stick play to his knee. Who is f***ing soft? Looks like its Barkov...

Yup... you got me here he was amazing today as whole

Critical thinking is not a strength in the Tkachuk family

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

It’s actually very embarrassing how butthurt Panthers fans are about the Barkov injury.

A routine play from one of the most humble and sportsmanlike players in the league. But more importantly, a routine play.

They have no idea what they’re watching.

Schedule got tougher. Goaltending got worse. Scoring dried up. They weren’t a 130 pt team. They also aren’t a lottery team. I still think they’re a playoff team. I never thought they were winning the division, but I didn’t think the lead would vanish this quickly.
