Embarrassment of riches on the back end for us

That still feels so weird for me to think about after the last decade.

Long gone are the days where I was trying to justify Mirco Mueller

Vanishes without a trace once they took a 3-2 lead

lol I pointed this out last game. Goes through the games just listing off players that suck at random points when he thinks they made a mistake. Nico sucks. Mercer can’t play hockey. Dougie is useless out there. Something like that.

One of the better games we player all season thus far. Back to back wins on the road against the defending Cup Champs is making me forget about the Sharks game from Sunday...lol

The Devils snapping the Panthers win streak and the Lightning snapping the Jets win streak tonight should make for a good game Saturday. Tampa has been a thorn in this teams side the last 5 years or so.

these next 3 really gonna be the biggest test of the season.

hopefully not.

it would be a shame to miss the playoffs with this team.

I still want one of Nelson, Palmieri or Vatrano traded for that Bratt/Jack line, mainly the last two since they're snipers and aren't volume shooters which is exactly what Jack needs at this stage of his career and why Timo somewhat failed with him as a linemate. Nelson would be better if they're still worried about Jack's face-offs, Nelson is pretty meh at them himself but he's over 50% this year, so if they wanna do the Haula-Hughes of 22-23 then Nelson is probably the guy to trade for barring the Isles making a random run to the bubble and in and Lou doesn't sell.

lou never sells

I still can’t stop thinking about Luke’s D.

Also, something that Doc said over a decade ago that always stuck with me was “if you’re PP and PK ranking add up to under 10, you’re a good team”, and we’re 4th in the league in both. Crazy.

I still can’t stop thinking about Luke’s D.

so do we get a main board thread for smacking the champs twice? or is that just for when we lose to the sharks?

I love to lurk on other boards after we play well to see what’s what, and it’s been unusually quiet after these past 2 wins. I think people realize we’re actually good and don’t want to admit it lol.

Luke has looked like a monster the last few games.

With some puck luck he would have some signature defensive stops and some spectacular offensive plays. The offense is forgotten because the puck just happened to not go in.

If this is Luke’s current normal level of play then he’s probably already a top pairing guy and he could have more level ups to come.

That wasn’t what happened. It wasn’t like Luke was creating offense and the puck wasn’t going in. He wasn’t creating really any offense until the last few games

Got back from a show last night and watched on DVR, hot damn am I glad I did, that's one of the best games of the year so far.

Pretty incredible to go into Sunrise, survive an early onslaught in game one to win, then make adjustments and play even better in the same building against the same Cup winning team, just a complete effort all around. Panthers' only goals came off a slightly lucky bounce for Boq to make that sick move on and a snapper off the draw, and while Florida managed to tilt the ice a couple of times (and definitely could've scored in a couple of others when pucks got passed into the middle of the ice in front of Allen), by and large the Devils dictated the vast majority of this one.

Guessing the guys took the San Jose loss personally and wanted to make clear that wasn't supposed to happen. Also starting to see what this team can be when it has time to settle down and practice regularly, and it looks really nice.

The PP was just wild this game. The first one they were only on it for like 35 seconds and managed to create 3/4 great looks. Then the Noesen one they score right away
