Have the 'scary' version of the Devils arrived?

[TBF1972]

Use whatever adjective you want. Your shenanigans always fall flat. The Devils are well ahead of the Rangers right now and for the foreseeable future. Take the L and go home.

which home? his village got burned

rangers really live rent free in your heads. Always comes back to them.

Agree on kreider and mika

you're in a thread about the Devils. Rent free indeed.

Difference is Oiler fans know what Skinner is.

And Markstrom becomes Skinner when he faces the Oilers.

won't happen before the stanley cup finals, which i would consider a huge success for the devils.

I wouldn't say "scary" per se. They've still got a lot of ways to go before key players are proven in the playoffs to be truly intimidating.

But they are a good team and their defence seems like it's slowly starting to be turned over to some players who can be trusted more in tight defensive playoff battles. They've still got some potential failure points that are hard to trust until they really prove they can get it done.

There's absolutely nothing scary about the Devils.

The Grit thing..the NJD leads league in fights and 7th most hits per 60. Not the be all/end all. But throwing the body and gloves when they need to. They also are undefeated after 40 when in the lead. So far, seeing them bend but not break.

They don't need anymore grit. In fact, I would say if they need anything, its another skilled middle 6er

Noesen, Meier, Dillon, Kovacevic, Cotter, Bastian, etc is more than enough "grit"

Part of me wants Kreider since he's such a beast in the playoffs, Just tell him to get healed up for the playoffs.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Yes.

Speedy, and talented. Still think that they lack grit.

Grit has been added to the recipe and it's got folks here that root for jerseys team pretty excited and full of optimism. Anything can happen in the playoffs good or bad but, this franchise is on a good course. They have been shutout 5X already this season. Hopefully that is out of their system going forward. If not they can have a great all around team only to be goalied home to an early exit. See Carolina... Anyway LGD!

Does blocking a shit ton of shots count as grit?
