Are the NJ Devils already collapsing?

[Panthers Propaganda]

For the last time: Obviously Nico is not going to have a fist fight with the opposing team's goon. It doesnt make any sense and is not a part of any "hockey etiquette". If Barkov challenges him upon return and Nico doesnt answer the bell, then you have a case.

Tkachuk's douchebaggery was exceptional and his assault on a player / person not willing to engage is not acceptable. No wonder that Devils fans were upset. Hope they behaved well on the Panthers board.

They did not, they spewed diarrhea all over the place.

I cant tell whats more embarrassing. That post or the NJ fan that didnt know subliterate was a real word.

It’s the water quality or lack thereof.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Implying that if there was no malicious intent on Nico's part means he is incompetent to an embarrassing degree shows that you have no clue what goes into taking a faceoff at a remotely high level. Incredibly relevant and you're getting properly dragged for it.

You keep writing your own fiction.

You would know. You probably had plenty of time to write fiction since you obviously weren't spending it playing hockey.

Seeing as you are unable to even come up with something hockey related, I guess you are just salty about not having a 1st round pick for the next 3 years.

 

[OKR]

the Devils forum is one of the busiest on this site and has been for over a decade.

But, nice try though.

Obviously was talking about the main boards lmao.

Got to say, NJ Devils fans quite clearly also one of the most sensitive ones lol

 

[OKR]

I like how people make shit up to form a narrative. Devils fans weren't acting arrogant at all.

Yeah, clearly not arrogant at all. Why would i make ”shit up” or form a narrative about a team i literally don’t give one shit about?

Get a grip.

This thread has really gone off the rails… sheesh.

NJ should still quite easily make the playoffs, but I do think the lack of physicalness of their team is really starting to show now that things are starting to get a bit more serious.

Should be a great learning season for the young guys though.

From 2nd in the Conference to 4 points up on 9th, life comes at you fast.

Better question is how do you beat the Bruins? They just cant seem to lose

Ulmark for Vezina.

Anyway I laugh at all the people thinking the Devils are collapsing. probably the same people who were dunking on the penguins when they sucked early in the season.

Where are they now?

oh yeah, 3rd in the east

You make them play a game in Ontario

Would epic and monumental collapse it would be if they miss the playoff. It's impressive how quick they fell back to earth.

It's beyond falling back to Earth, let's call it what it is - they are cratering right now.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

It certainly looks that way and If it continues Miles Wood will get A LOT of interest

 

[SimpleJack]

Didn’t think so at first but now that the funk has lasted this long it’s putting their overall quality into question. Perhaps they really were overrated and just had a fluke start to the season. Idk who the real Devils are now….

By transforming into the Ottawa Senators.

The Devils will be more than fine and this will never come up but Wood would fetch something nice.

I guess its what playoff teams have to deal with if they want to make it but man does it feel bad that Wood and Severson probably will walk this off season and the Devils will get nothing for it.

I’m sorry I have no dog in this fight but that was a lame comeback

The Penguins who I actually like even less than the Devils have a track record the Devils do not.

Those “I can’t see any teams keeping up with NJ” comments from some Nj fans are looking pretty cringe now

Meh the lack of physicality doesn't matter much in the regular season. It's the playoffs where it matters. Leafs are the softest team in the league but continue to have elite regular seasons.

If the devils are struggling, it's definitely because they've regressed. Their start was never sustainable. Should still be able to make the playoffs though if they don't completely fall apart

I'm pretty sure most of those posts had the words "right now" and even if they didn't I doubt they mean't that no team could keep up with NJ from then till the sun explodes millions of years from now.

Anyways, Wake me up when the Rangers and Islanders and Wings have more points then NJ. I really don't see those teams taking a WC spot over the Devils.

No they we’re straight up no team can compete with them. Even two NJ fans stating they shouldn’t have too much of a problem with Boston. Everyone has problems with Boston
