Other than the Newark/Elizabeth/Irvington cluster and the Camden area, the rest of NJ is really nice.
Devils will win the President's Trophy

There are great places to live in each state. Trying to generalize either based on stereotypes is beyond foolish.

No way, this is a thread for absolutes and we all need to pick a side. Fence sitter!
I’m staying above the Mason-Dixon and may no one ever catch me in that horrible place as long as I live.

They really do look good on paper, that's for sure!
I'm fascinated by the Hughes brothers, so I'll be tuning in as often as possible.
It takes a healthy roster and a degree of puck-luck to put in a a dominant season, but they have pieces in place.
Also, they look primed to enjoy many years of success, given the payroll structure and length of the bargain deals.

They should be an absolute wagon but J. hughes is 150 pounds soaking wet and is fragile ass glass. If Hughes can stay healthy they will be awesome.

they should be a top team in the east this year. Goaltending and the blue line are big reasons why.
The betting sites have them #2 for winning the cup and its not like they have such a large fanbase to pour money on them so yes lots of people think that they are in for a big year.
First things first the Jersey bashing has got to stop. It's just the cool annoying thing to say when you don't know anything about the state.
Yeah, some areas stink. Camden, Trenton, Atlantic City, Newark, Paterson.
But that's a small list when talking about some of the nicest suburban areas in the country like Alpine, Franklin Lakes, Short Hills/Millburn, Summit, Westfield/Cranford, Princeton, Red Bank, Rumson/Fair Haven, Basking Ridge, Mendham, Harding, Morristown, and on and on and on and on. NJ also has some of the best private schools in the country.
Start looking at stats as far as income, education, health care, quality of life, and more and NJ is up in the top for every single thing.
As far as the team, on paper yes I agree they should have a shot at the Presidents Trophy and playoff success, however a lot has to go right.
Jack Hughes is still small and somewhat injury prone. He needed to add 5-10 pounds and some muscle but I'm not sure he was able to since he was recovering from surgery. Luke Hughes needs to get healthy. Bratt and Hischier need to keep improving and not take steps back. Second half Timo needs to be full season Timo. Markstrom and Allen have to stay on top of their game and HEALTHY because the moment goalies start going down this team will crumble.
I'm very excited about this team... but I remember last year a lot of people picked the Devils as division winners, conference winners, even cup winners in some cases and we all know how that went. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong.
Yes Tom Fitzgerald did an amazing job addressing every need this team had...
All we can say at this point is "WE SHALL SEE"

Maybe as far as sheer numbers of course the size of the fanbase is in the middle of the league... however Devils fans travel real well and when they are good you will see pretty large contingents in all away buildings... and if the hype translates to regular season success, I can guarantee and I would put money on the Devils starting to sell out every game from late November through the season. When it was obvious they were for real in 2022-2023 every game started selling out and it was $150 just to get in the building by April.

Thanks for the laughs
Not a good look for these quotes already.... LoL
Points percentage they are still 6th. But I do agree this thread was absolutely dumb to make.

What was my comment? Go ahead and look
I’m actually feeling pretty good
Peace’s underlying numbers are franking terrible so far relatively
his above replacement numbers are brutal
Kovacevic looks like a home run and a screw up by Montreal, as he is stabilizing seigenthaler as a pairing. Hamilton and Dillon look solid.

Pesce? really?
He's been great so far and everyone is singing his praises on the Devils board.

Season is far from over… NJ is a fun team to watch but still only 7 points separate them and wild card Rangers team and NJ has played 4 more games.
I would love to see NJ excel but I still am standing by my prediction of them fighting for a playoff spot by end of season

that also means they've had the less amount of rest/training which is huge giving the new coach and new players

Pesce has been awesome. He has a 60% expected goal share over his last 5, really “terrible”. Perfect fit for Luke Hughes, who has turned into a sensational defensive player in year 2. They’ve just had no puck luck. Will turn very shortly.

He has the worst above replacement numbers of any develops defenceman
His expected results for the same are 2nd worst to nemec
So my comment is still fine with me. Pesce isn’t that good in my opinion
Some gotcha comment on here doesn’t change that

So let’s just ignore the evidence of his excellent play of late. And 3.6% of shots are going in for the Devils when he’s out there, that’s just luck and impacting whatever fake number you’re trying to bring up.
Have you even watched a single second of his play this year anyway?
If what Pesce is doing is "sucking" then there is only one thing I can say
Keep SuckingAssholes Pesce!
Keep Sucking
