Around the NHL – Part XL - Mod post page 249

[KirkAlbuquerque]

A lot of people around here need to come to terms with the Devils are a good team

We can sit here and say "they are OT" whores or whatever, but they are a very fast, opportunistic team

I dont think they are buiit to go all the way this year, but they are getting close

don't think anyone is arguing that they're not.

They're not cup faves or anything, but they're better than us for sure. Maybe not on paper, but as a "team" they blow us out of the water and will be the heavy favorites in a 1st round matchup.

We won't be, people will take the Rangers on the basis of last year's run + Shesterkin flipping the switch from regular season to postseason. As much as any Devils fan wants to admit also, the Rangers haven't played with a full team yet with their TDL adds. If the Rangers look good heading into the playoffs with Kane adjusting then I can't see why a neutral fan wouldn't take NYR.

They are Florida of last year

You want to argue they have better/young talent up front, fine.

They play like Pittsburgh more of yesteryear than they do the 21-22 Panthers.

 

[Hire Sather]

I'm not gonna shit on the Devils but there's no shot they would be 'heavy favorites' in that series as long as we play respectable enough these last 20 games

 

[Crease]

Oilers at Sabres. Both teams on pace for 60 shots.

Everyone is afraid of the devils lol

There are so many things that scream possible disappointment in playoffs for Devils. So many of them are having career years, goaltending better than expected, less space available in playoffs, young team with little playoff experience. So many on their jocks, I will laugh so hard if they don't get past the 1st round.

Sound like the 21-22 Rangers….

 

[Matt Rentfree]

I suppose it was too much to expect the Flames to hold on to a 2 goal lead against Dallas

Rangers almost didn’t. Difference is we got Igor they don’t. Also we never faced a starting goalie until the ECF.

They are a mess this year but Toffoli comes up with a big goal.

Oh it's gonna be a bloodbath for a decade probably. Some nasty prospects left in their pool. The D is only gonna get better ...

It's been said around here, that some think their rebuild looks better. I agree with that camp.

That said, they are a good team, I hope their G collapses and I'm starting to hate them again. Which is good, since the Pitt and Caps rivalries are fading.

Folks,

The purpose of the Around the NHL Thread is for Rangers fans to discuss happenings around the league.

Rangers fans.

Rangers. Fans.

Of course, questions and salutations from other fans are perfectly welcome in good faith, but that makes way more sense to deliver in threads about the Rangers if that's your purpose.

This thread is not your soapbox to argue with Rangers fans.

If something is said about your team in here that you don't like, don't read it. It's the Rangers board.

 

[duhmetreE]

Devils ain't shit.

Maybe this is why I went to like three hardware stores and couldn't find a ruler, lol.

 

[Leonardo87]

Watching the Devils game now, killing time before the Ducks game. Yeah, I really prefer to play Carolina first round. They are quick, and the passes are so crisp.

 

[Daves a mess]

Bratt Hughes Meir. Lethal.


And look at Jack crashing the net. Hmm

 

[Leonardo87]

Pittsburgh losing 4-0 to the worst team in the league, you hate to see it…… ok not really. Lol.

Interested what the Pens do this summer, they are so old, but their contracts for their stars are still really good value. They aren’t going to tank with Sid and Geno.

JT Miller seems like the obvious move in a trade, since the free agency list is lacking in that 26-29 age range.

Similar position as Washington? Their core is getting old, and don’t have much in the pipeline.

I guess their projected 10 game winning streak fizzled.

We gotta play them 3 times in a week later this month, will be interesting.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I know we came back against Edmonton but it feels like we can never come back otherwise from a multi goal lead. If we were down 4-0 to Columbus there's no way we make it a game like the Pens.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Penguins just tied it.

 

[Leonardo87]

Penguins just tied it.

That’s why Columbus is in last place.

 

[Cmox]

The giveaway was pretty bad by Hughes. Got stripped.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

That’s why Columbus is in last place.

We'd just straight up lose.
