Devils will win the President's Trophy

[TheUnseenHand]

Can we not with these threads? They lose tomorrow and someone is posting how they are a fraud. Can we give it like, a month maybe?

 

[Turin]

Well they shouldn’t have regressed as bad last season, so yea

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Relax the real season hasn't even started yet

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Just to double check, we're talking about Jacob Markström? And the 2023-24 season?

Markstrom before the trade deadline prevented the Flames from being the worst team in the league. He was very good.

I think literally everyone is thinking that NJ is going to have a big year.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I feel it will end up being another year for them where they are fighting for a playoff spot near the end of the season… I am just not quite sure if they will get in or not… it depends on the health of their roster

Sorry NJD fans, that’s zero disrespect to you guys but I just truly think that’s what will happen. Who knows tho maybe it’s just cause I’m used to seeing them unfortunately disappoint after being so hyped up

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

I heard they are going to win the presidents trophy

Isn't that thing cursed?

 

[Asinine]

No...biggest pretenders in the league yet again.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Yes

Go draft Jacob Markstrom yall

They got their goalie--after nearly every lose someone posted that they needed a legit NHL goalie and they now have one

 

[RandV]

I wouldn't call it a "really big year", but I think they bounce back closer to where they were two seasons ago.

yes, i agree and there are other topics to discuss like kovacevic being the front runner for the norris. 164 points in a season from a d. incroyable.

 

[Goptor]

They're clearly only good at home. Wait till they win a road game before making any judgements.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Yes it's a pretty popular opinion

 

[jackjohnson]

New head coach.

Finally have a legit #1 goalie, who if he puts up numbers from last season, he's going to be a runner up for the Vezina.

New rebuilt Blueline. It's night and day compared to last years.

I could see Jack Hughes find another gear and put up 120pts.

And finally, last season was a disaster for this organation and this year I feel they're really motivated to compete for the cup.

They've addressed all their weaknesses this summer. Wouldn't surprise me if they win the President's trophy.

You had to jinx them, didnt you??

It’s been 1 game and that 1 game was against Buffalo!

Hughes healthy = good
Hughes not healthy = Bad

If sports media has taught me anything it's that the most important part of sports is made up narrative.

 

[BM14]

How can you not think it? They're on pace for 164 points to the roar of 93,000 screaming Devilsmaniacs in the Prudential Centerdome brother.

Sheldon Keefe a bigger jabroni than the Harvey Wippleman. F******* THE KEEFE FOREVER, BUBBA.

 

[Spargon]

I have been assured as a Leafs fan that Keefe is the worst coach in the league and can't win in the playoffs. Since the regular season and any stats therein no longer count and playoff success is the only measure acceptable, according to HF these days. There is no chance they accomplish anything.

Sarcasm aside, there is potential for sure.

 

[PaulD]

Look good. Can Hughes finally play a full season ?

 

[tmg]

Look good. Can Hughes finally play a full season ?

The year before last he played 78. That’s pretty close to a full season.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

One game.

 

[NVious]

Everyone just accepted they won the President's Trophy/Cup in 2024, we moved on to 2025 and now we're seeing if they can repeat.

 

[Moist ReadOnly]

Thats right - Devils taking the league by storm before anyone else even plays

 

[namttebih]

for the record I wasn't defending that armpit state lol

Other than the main cities - which are closer to taints then pits, NJ is a beautiful state.
