Hughes has owned us. Need to minimize his impact.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Is Blackwood better than Vanacek?

 

[will1066]

Expect big time games from Corey Millen, John Vanbiesbrouck and Joe Cirella.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Is Blackwood better than Vanacek?

no

 

[Hire Sather]

How many were the Devils ahead of us at their peak? It had to be near 20 points

Something like that. Big game, can overtake the Devils in the Standings with a regulation win.

 

[RangersFan1994]

LET’S GO RANGERS. Keep the winning streak going. play 60 minutes and Rangers should be fine. Wont be easy.

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

Every single puzzle on the 2022-2023 Rats has been solved - with the exception of one Jack Hughes. He is 75% of a Crosby, 67% of a McDavid etc etc. Not even Ben Harpur can shut him down. /s

3-2, in a shoot out.

 

[Jauffre]

O/U 3 points for Jackie Smalls?

 

[Row I Goon]

Begrudgingly acknowledges the talent of one Master Hughes…..

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Calling it here. Expect a trade if Sam and Joe start talking up Vitali Kravtsov every time he steps on the ice.

 

[Synergy27]

Would like to see Trouba or Blais really catch Jack with a big, hard, clean hit and for the Rangers to win this game convincingly. It’s too soon for the Devils to be good.

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

Tough day for Devils fans. They need to post in their game day thread, but also in their other teams thread where they spend most of their time crying about the Rangers. Gonna be hard to do both and watch the game.

 

[Circus86]

Release Rydahl. LGR!

 

[Leonardo87]

Wow this game is in less than 5 hours and I just woke up about 20 mins ago. Lol

 

[KennyWu]

Another NHLN game? You're killing me, Gary

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Laf playing today? And by playing I mean more than 11 minutes.

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

Fun playing the devils for the 2nd place of metro. Been a while.

How many were the Devils ahead of us at their peak? It had to be near 20 points

As of December 6th, the devils were 21-4-1 (43 points) and we were 12-10-5 (29 points). So we were 14 points behind.

Since then, they have gone 3-8-2 (8 points) and we have gone 10-2-1 (21 points).

Do the players hate early afternoon games as much as I do?

 

[Larrybiv]

I wish we had some kind of stat which indicates which players perform well on matinee games. I would have to imagine the "vets" would play better than the kids.
The vets know how to prepare better while the kids, well u know maybe they had a few and stay up later than they should. Then again, when I was young like that, I could break night and still do my job next day. But hockey is kind of different. Which is it?
Does coaching come into play MORE??

I would have to imagine the "vets" would play better than the kids.

I would think it's the other way around.

 

[cwede]

... can overtake the Devils in the Standings with a regulation win.

NYR would have 1 more point in 1 more game, so NYR lesser winning %
NjD currently w 3 more ROW

It throws their daily routine out of whack, so would think so.
