I got to be honest: many of the regulars on here know how much I despise the Isles and their fanbase, but I am honestly trending towards hating NJ and their fans more. They have had a putrid season aside from Hughes, Hischier, and Bratt, yet they run their mouths constantly about Lafreniere, Kakko, the Rangers, etc. I am tired of them. I hope they stink next year too.
They have some of the most annoying posters

The penguins just don’t have the lineup we have if we lose to them imo it will be a disappointment. We should run that team over. And that’s not even considering what jarry migjt look like. He’s horrific in the playoffs. This team looks slow and beat up.

Well yes but we have to remember that playoffs are a whole different world. And if there’s a team who knows how to execute in that world, it’s the penguins. Let’s not maple leaf this year.

we saw Jarry be perfect just a few weeks back.
and now Malkin is healthy.
not disagreeing, but it isn't likely to be easy...

For a team that sucks again and is bottom 5 their fans really need to STFU. That was an embarrassing display last night.

They will still be a tough opponent and Jarry can steal games. The wildcard is the officiating also. They lead the league in PP differential(go figure) and refs refuse to call penalties against us. This could be an important factor. In the last 2 games against them they lead 7-2 in the PP opportunities.
 


anyone else find this remarkable? all the W's on this list primarily RW, until now?

And they’re on Twitter daily pumping out Lafrenière hate.

They're basically pre-McDavid Oilers east with 1/16th of the fan support.

I hope they get relocated. Would be hilarious and they should as no one gives a f*** about them aside from a handful of people. Quebec City needs a team.

I remember in that 7-4 game where the wheels came off and their fans were all over the place ragging on Shesterkin.

What I tell ya? Devils fans get their happiness in NEGATIVE fanship. Laf missing the net on a shot is equal to Hughes scoring a goal.

Also, in terms of the Pens, Staple's article from the Athletic today illustrates that post pre-xmas Igor was bailing us out with his performance in difficult shots faced and now it's JARRY bailing out the Pens. Igor has had some of the EASIEST shots faced since, Jarry the other way. Team defense between us and Pitt are trending in opposite directions in our favor big time.

However, we should never underestimate the Rangers ability and insatiable drive to making ANY goalie look like prime Hasek. Regardless of what the numbers going in says (and yes our PP differential is putrid and theirs is a gift from the Lord), the 1st round is going to be a SLOG. Our glutes will be rock hard coming out of it. I am talking hundreds of PSI squeezing power.

Which is utterly ridiculous considering that we dominated both of those games.

It is and that's just the way it is with Pitt and the officiating. The fact that they are a plus 53 in PP differential and we are a minus 15 is scary and it's the thing I worry about the most when we meet them in the playoffs. Most of the penalties in the last 2 games were legit penalties against us but the problem is not what they called but what they didn't call. Numerous blatant penalties should have been called against Pitt and weren't. I'm afraid it's going to be worse in the playoffs.

I hope the Devils and Islanders finish 8th and 9th in perpetuity. Just good enough to sneak in, never bad enough for elite talent.

This penguins team hasn’t done F all come playoff time for a few years now. They don’t get goaltending at all
