Devils chances at playoffs - The Final Push - Points and Standings Discussion

[glenwo2]

its actually everything to do with that city, get it straight.

I think your hate is just as great as BleedRed's hate of anything involving the Winnipeg Jets.

 

[MadDevil]

Knowing this team we'll go into those last two home games with a chance to make the playoffs, and we'll find a way to lose to the Islanders again and then get shutout by Ochocinco to end the season.

NJ just beat one of the very few teams that are worse than them (an ugly win at that) and now there is wind back in their sails? It's probably likely that they won't be able to even afford a single regulation loss the rest of the way. How much of a shock would it be if it comes tomorrow against the Sabres?

Too little too late imho.

Amazing win guys! Would of been nice if you won some of those shootouts or 1 goal games that ended up in a loss, but don't dwell on the past. Just push forward and give it your all! 3pts out? Not much if you ask me. Just hope TOR, WSH and CBJ lose tomorrow and you guys dominate the Sabres, then you will only be 1pt out. Which would be awesome! It Ain't Over 'Till It's Over!

Win tomorrow and I'll have a glimmer of hope.

Not worried about the Leafs anymore. If we beat Washington Friday the same for them.

Win tomorrow would be gigantic to rekindling any hopes we have no matter what happens on the out of town scoreboard.

Don't know if this has been mentioned but Columbus gets to play the Blackhawks (Without Kane and Toews) and the Avalanche (Without Duchene). This would happen

Avalanche are still desperately fighting for a spot so it will be a tough game. Hawks are always a tough matchup even without Kane. Hawks are very deep. Jackets have a tough schedule.

THIS.

Devils have to go balls-to-the-wall(preferably pucks-in-the-net) here with the thinking that they must win to "Keep pace" and NOT ASSUME they'll get any "help".


I've said this a lot(and I hate repeating myself....but here goes... ) but all the Devils need to do is FIND A WAY TO GET 2 POINTS today(it's 1:00 am in the morning here). I don't care if it's in regulation or OT.


JUST GET THE DAMN 2 POINTS!!!

Or simply just win and the rest will sort itself out.

Getting the 2 points *IS* winning. What are you talking about?

 

[Bleedred]

The game against Buffalo has real potential for one of these two things to happen.

Either we steamroll the **** out of them like we did Florida tonight. Buffalo is as bad or worse than Florida right now.

Or we sleepwalk and somehow lose like we did in the last Islanders game.

 

[Pegi90*]

even if ray emery was our goaltender we supposed to beat buffalo.

I bet if Ray Emery was Buffalo's goaltender we would probably lose to them.

Forget the out of town scores and just win.

Oh I get it.


Just win, baby!

Chicago has been awful since the Olympic break ended. I wouldn't count on getting help from them. Colorado is more likely to beat Columbus than the Hawks. Sadly, I think the Jackets probably win both of those games or at least get 3 points.

Al Davis said it best.

New Jersey now has an 18.6% chance of making the playoffs, up +4.6% from last night: http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NHL.html

If:

NJ beats Buffalo
Colorado beats Columbus
Dallas beats Washington
Calgary beats Toronto

NJ's odds increase +5.7%. Pretty close to 1 in 4.

5-1-1 the rest of the way puts NJ at a coin flip to get in.

5-0-2 or 6-0-1 puts NJ at a 75% chance

Win out and you're in at a 97% chance.

LGD.

Godammit the shootout record looms larger each day.

But Petey thinks practicing the shootout is useless.

Practicing the shootout is useless.

The Devils didn't practice the shootout in 11-12 and had one of the best shootout seasons ever, with a formerly below average shootout player going 11 for 14.
