Hey, if we don't get it turned around today then there's always another humpty team (and the worst goaltender in the league) on Monday!

They're not quite as much of a humpty team as these two California teams, but at least they're no Capitals!

I almost threw shit at my TV after hearing Rachel say ''They look better than the last couple years and look built for the playoffs''

Until I realized she was talking about the Devils and not the Sharks.

I was boiling when I thought she was talking about the Sharks. Blood pressure was getting dangerously high to the point of a possible stroke or cardiac event.

This may sound stupid but I wonder if the boys were reading their press clippings and seeing all the praise at Christmas. Family and friends telling them how good they are. Spanked the Rangers at home prior. Then beat Carolina right out of the break but gave up many chances against. Got away with one in a sense. Then got boat raced all over the ice in Raleigh and they haven’t been the same since. They’re playing entitled hockey right now.
Wouldnt surprise me. You know the Devils are doing well when Fitz is on his media tour lol.

They better get it figured out soon.

Would be funny for all the "built for the playoffs" talk to result in them not even doing as well as 22-23.

**or compliments
When your goalie is an 0.880 behind you that'll happen
Time to stop making excuses for Dougie constantly leaving his goalie out to dry.

If you switched dougie and luke's roles in that play you'd still be saying it was dougies fault
Nope. If Luke did something stupid like that I'd call him out. Good thing he rarely does.

I never understand this logic...maybe for a couple of games but why would you continue to think you're hot shit when you're getting your ass kicked for like the fourth game in a row?

This is what people said last year too before the wheels fell off completely and people realized they just stink.

This appears to be a combo of the top guys going in the cooler offensively with other teams taking advantage of our weaknesses in the bottom six and guys like Dougie.

Ironically the 4th line is doing really good so far today, they legit generated almost all of this teams chances last period, minus a few from Jack.

Last couple of games was rough for them (as if was for the whole team) but before that they were pretty consistently stretching together good games. Not getting even slight goal support from them sucks but they also generally control play in their minutes and at least don't hurt you defensively.

It's a pretty small sample size, but they last 4 games have been pretty meh. Not horribad hockey, but you just feel like they're going through the motions. I'm not very concerned.

Like tonight, I'm liking their offense. The 4th line even looks solid. But they have to tighten up defensively.

That's just a cope to say this was an evenly played period.

This is an evenly player period against one of the better team's in the league. This is a shit period against the Sharks.

Outshot them 12-11? Big f***in deal. They've been so bad in many of their games that even when the goalie is playing good he has to face 40, 45, 48, 52 shots.

So as far as I'm concerned, that was a pathetic period.

Especially for a team that's lost 3 in a row.

Probably going to need Jack and Nico take extra shifts in place Haula. Have Bratt take some shifts in place of Bastian. Do something to get extra scoring depth to start a game.
