The Devils are a skilled hockey team no doubt. But they remind me a lot of us when we didn’t play “playoff hockey”. When the space tightens up their small little stars wilt.
Exactly. That year we won like 59 games I thought we were gonna destroy the playoffs. We were so f***ing terrible when the space got tightAnd this is why I'm not a believer in them. Playoff hockey is a different beast, and their stars will get run over when the games get physical. Soft perimeter teams always flame out in the playoffs. Teams can be built well for the regular season, but not playoffs.
He is GREAT! A few games ago my wife and I were sitting in our club seats when we saw Mr. Viola, Mrs. Viola, and Mr. Cifu sitting in the suite down to our left and Mrs. Viola had the big ass Stanley cup ring on her finger. My wife gestured down to Mr. Viola to show us the ring and he told his wife to come forward and show us the big ass ring. All of them were extremely nice

even last year we werent this bad, every now and then sure, but under 3 goals given up by us is rareThe Devils are skilled, fast and have good goaltending. I think they have a good chance to win a playoff series or two this season.
Not sure what to make of the Panthers right now. I remain concerned about the blue line and I am a little concerned about the goaltending, but we'll see how it shakes out.

Dont see us goin too far unless bob goes playoff mode again
oh im not blaming bob by any stretch, more so think the team isnt playing as well in front of him and unless he goes super human again i dont see us going too farIt's not all on Bob, but IMO he just isn't playing that well right now. Mostly he's been fine, and had some really stellar moments, but he's had a couple of stinker games in there. I think a lot of it is overall team effort level, honestly, and I hope that won't be a problem when it counts.
Saving the super hero moments for the POs. I am totally down with thatoh im not blaming bob by any stretch, more so think the team isnt playing as well in front of him and unless he goes super human again i dont see us going too far

Found some masturbatory material for JLD.
Behold, the flames current leading goalscorer.
Huberdeau also got his 500th assist which is 2nd in his draft class, tied with Johnny Gaudreau.
Weegar had a 3 point night. Both are currently tied for 2nd in points on the flames. (11 points in 20 games..)
