President team winner. Make the playoffs then try talking.
one major issue, the head coach is Sheldon Keefe.
“Flamed out” all the way to the conference finals?Worst goal differential ever to win presidents trophy and flamed out in the playoffs. Again.
So scary.
Threads like this suck, I dont think the OP is a devils fan?
Realistic is just make the playoffs.
Last 4 seasonsI would say he's had 2 good seasons in the last 4 years.
One was a career year (21-22) and that was followed up with a career worst (22-23) unless you count when he was really young and shouldn't have been in the NHL.
His 20-21 was meh, but his 21-22 was really good and his 23-24 was solid.
Even if he's just meh this year it will still be an improvement over what we had last year. And he also seems to be a way better teammate than Vanecek, so when he plays badly he'll actually face the media and not let Lindy Ruff, Jack Hughes and the rest of the team answer for his poor play like the worthless coward Vitek Vanecek did last year.
He was known to be really bad against the Oilers. I don't recall if he was bad against them last year, nor do I have his numbers against them last year, but it was a major storyline in his really good season where he was the Vezina runner-up.
His numbers against the Oilers in both the regular season and playoffs that year were abysmal.
I hate to ruin their fun but outscoring defensive issues only gets you so far when the playoffs arrive. Teams like that never win even with some fancy scorers.Correct, Devils fans don't even know.
But they will, they will get educated
Why not? It works for Rod. He even scares them by becoming bright red and having a bulging neck vein.If keefe cries to the refs all game and the players buy into the "poor us its the refs fault" they will not.
Why ever change anything, its always the refs fault

I know, I was also referencing the fancy offensive system that doesn’t get it done in the playoffs. Keefe can jump up and down but if guys are scared to play defensive hockey, you’re not going to win when it matters. Keefe is an average coach at best whose top players propped up his mediocre coaching and then got himself exposed in the playoffs.I was agreeing that Keefe is the issue

What? No Devils fans have hyped up the team, It's always someone else.I like the Devils chances to make the playoffs and do some damage, but its, like, the 4th season that they've been crazy hyped on here and they've made the playoffs once over that stretch. Its time to put up or shut up.
Lol you’re in a thread, that a Jersey fan created, and is doing just that.What? No Devils fans have hyped up the team, It's always someone else.
