Devils will win the President's Trophy

[Breakers]

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?

it's a fake number becuase you dont agree with it
LOL classic argument

It’s fake because it’s obviously impacted massively by luck in a small sample. The puck will go in at least double the rate it currently is when he’s out there by season’s end.

Not a good look for these quotes already.... LoL

taking a victory lap in November always ends well

I mean, we all know the answer to that

 

[Jumptheshark]

see what a good goalie can do to a team?

Jake Allen has been a nice addition for sure

 

[Casey Jones]

They have Jack Hughes, Bratt and other scorers playing D on the PK, and playing it well.

 

[Guadana]

Pesce is bad defenseman? Yeah, paper analysis is doing wonders.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Most overrated team in the league going into this season.

Should be a playoff team because the Metro is a joke. But not contenders.

Metro looks as good as any of the other divisions IMO. How would you have them ranked?

 

[Guttersniped]

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

Pesce’s only played 15 games, expected results don’t mean a whole lot yet.

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

as a devils fan i am confident in their chances to make the playoffs. they play good hockey and look fairly stable. if they can't edge out the likes of ny islanders, boston, columbus, detroit, ottawa and philadelphia, it would be a huge failure. i expect them to be among the top 3 teams in the metro. but no team is immune to injuries.

 

[amikaro]

If they don't make the playoffs, it d be a huge disappointment - i hope media would call it debacle but I'm pretty positive, they will get in (Top3 Metro) and I d say they go over round 1.

Forward core needs to stay healthy. On D they got some nice depth! Goalie tandem works. Great team, great captain and definitely one of the raising power houses.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

see what a good goalie can do to a team?

Having Hamilton healthy also makes a huge difference.

If that’s the case Hence the reason some clown dragging up comments doesn’t mean anything.

I’m on the right side of my comment aging well so far.

Who cares about the President's Trophy, it's all about a deep playoff run.

of course. playoff s are the measure, not the trophy. still it has a certain prestige which boosts rather confidence than pressure. especially in the metro division.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

I hope not. It usually turns out to be a hockey curse.

 

[Deviled]

Devils just manhandled the Rangers bahahaha

 

[Moist ReadOnly]

Only 81 points last year but 112 the year prior with a worse roster

Jacob Markstrom, Brett Pesce, Brendan Dillon, and Paul Cotter added

Simon Nemec, Luke Hughes, Dawson Mercer all under 22 and likely building on prior seasons

Devils stay healthy and theyll be competing with the league's best for the regular season award

Looking like a beaut

Devils just manhandled the Rangers bahahaha

@The Crypto Guy how bout them Rangers?

Missed on the Nemo prediction but that's just proof how f***ing good Kovacevic has been

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

So did the Oilers.

 

[Fatass]

Getting Markstrom was huge. He allows the Devils to play rush hockey and take risks for offence by making important saves when turnovers happen. His play breeds confidence in all the players.

 

[2023FriendshipTour]

So did the Oilers.

So did the Flames.

 

[TheDoldrums]

But they’re not competing with the leagues best for the Presidents trophy, they’re 8th in point percentage

The thing is he's made A+ saves consistently but letting in some in dribblers in the early part of their year. He had a great game last night v NYR though. I know Flames fans said he wilts in the playoffs but I'm hoping Keefe's system can limit those chances to a minimum.

But they’re not competing with the leagues best for the Presidents trophy, they’re 8th in point percentage

While the point makes sense, can't assume that the games in hand are auto wins.
