Have the 'scary' version of the Devils arrived?

[Nocashstyle]

Why?

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

I was super high on them to start the season. I loved the Dillon and Cotter additions.

I still think they could use a little more size in the bottom 6, but I had them as a 2nd round type playoff team before the year started. I think that's what they are, we'll see what they do at the deadline.

 

[KovalchukFistPump]

Lmao Jack Hughes still out there for the power play when up 4-0 with 7 minutes left. And now it’s 5-0

 

[Soundwave]

They’re walking all over the rags right now.

Rangers have been in a funk for like a month straight at this point. That's a team that's obviously checked out on the coach, but the team insists on scapegoating players (Trouba, Kakko, Kreider) and it isn't working. Fire the coach and get on with it.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Beating up on this year's Ranger squad means nothing. Even the worst teams in the league do it.

 

[tarheelhockey]

For a veteran goalie, Markstrom still has a lot to prove, especially in the postseason. The Devils as a whole are a well constructed team but it’s going to come down to what happens when inevitably a playoff series comes down to goaltending.

 

[TanguaySauce]

In before lock

They have to actually win a playoff series before this version of the team becomes “scary”

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Rangers are genuinely one of the most broken teams I've ever seen.


Devils do not look scary at all, no.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Hold your horses. The rangers have been done since day 1 of this season. The 12-4-1 start was a mirage. Analytically and eye test theyve looked horrendous all season. Rangers will be selling at the deadline.

Theyve gotten boat raced by #32 in the league twice in the past 2 weeks.

Devs top guys are still too small to make noise in playoffs.

Hows that barely a minor penalty against Rempe doing?

Keefe is great at getting a lot out of teams in the regular season and great at developing talent to play two way hockey.

He has yet to prove he can outcoach another coach in a playoff series.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Lock up the thread. Don’t like bad voodoo

NHL record 7 games in a row without giving up 20 shots is something though.

 

[wolfgaze]

Lmao Jack Hughes still out there for the power play

Sorry but where's the actual humor in that? Why are you posting this juvenile-sounding commentary in a new thread on the mainboards and not in the Gameday thread designed for this type of banter? Oh look the Devils are beating up against a struggling, non-playoff team that's so 'scary!' that the rest of the league better be worried about this, right? Oof.

In fariness to him, kinda hard to do that when your top players don't show up in the playoffs.

Leagues a shell of its former once great self. Its why theyre bleeding interest from long term fans interest. Hockey needs more violence and hitting not less

You are a wise wise man amongst these parts

Amazing insight as always. Cheers

I guess we'll see this year if it was the coach or the players

 

[Regal]

The devils are decent but they aren't contenders. Markstrom sucks.

He’s a perfectly cromulent goaltender

 

[goonybird]

That was AHL shit from the Rangers today. Wouldn't get too ahead of ourselves here

 

[DerekDevils30]

7 straight games allowing 20 or fewer shots on goal and 8 of 9 overall. They’re playing a good brand of hockey right now. Feeling good at the moment. Much more rough and tumble team. No easy ice for the opposition. Need to shore up some depth up front.

We keep hearing the from bitter Toronto fans who need someone to point the finger at. The truth is the team itself has yet to prove they can play past the first round. So I guess we’ll see who’s right in April. That is unless both the Devils and Leafs get eliminated in the first round haha.

Facts are facts. I've given Keefe nothing but love. Facts he was the 2nd best coach in every series he has been a part of. You see the difference in games 5, 6, 7

A thread about the Devils setting a new NHL record would have been better then this.

 

[Devilsfan992]

People in this thread not realizing how dominant the Devils have been this season, especially December. They aren't just winning. They are destroying teams.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Looking forward to the inevitable jinx this thread creates. Hopefully in to the playoffs.

This is what it’s all about. I agree with you
