I'd like to a Tedenby-Loktionov-Jagr line. Jagr showed in the playoffs that he can compliment the fleet footed.
Better chance of seeing that in Albany with this current coaching staff.
Was that goal with 36 seconds left really necessary tonight? That's the signs of a putrid effort right there. Along with the two breakaways on a single PP. That was the easiest shutout and win that Blackburn or whoever that former Rangers pick was, has ever had.

There's no mercy rule in hockey. If you don't want to give up a goal, the team should try to give a ****.
I don't know if the team is awful or if the coaching is awful or both, but I know for a fact this team does not fit the system any more. DeBoer coaches a tenacious forecheck that leads to turnovers. We're now a sit back and play slow team. Honestly, this strikes me as the perfect Lemaire team. Him and Boucher could probably work with this roster.
thank you.
This team does not work with this system. Petey needs to change it or he can leave.
He already said he won't do that after Kovalchuk left. They asked him if he'd change his style of play, and he said he wouldn't.
He also said we were on the verge of a breakthrough before this game. Why do I feel like I have been hearing that line for the last 4 or 5 games now?
Labarbera is also a former Rangers draft pick like Montoya and Blackburn. These are all BOTTOM 10 goaltenders in the league too. Labarbera and McNugget are probably bottom 5. Forget the goalies, like Chico said. You HAVE to beat BAD teams like Calgary and Winnipeg. Winnipeg is gonna be in the fight for the lottery this year.Blackburn lol...he probably did shut us out at one point too.
I know we kid about the Devils getting punked by backups, but they've taken it to a new level this year. LaBarbera, Montoya and MacDonald, all crappy journeyman backups on non-playoff teams, all of whom beat us inside a week.
I doubt it, and I wouldn't blame him either. 2 of the 3 games he's played, he's gotten 0 goal support. He wasn't great in the first game, but was the difference between a blowout tonight.feel really bad for Schneider.. great goalie on a bad team... wonder if he even want to re-sign there now..
I hope it's true.Rumor going around on NJDevs is apparently Schnieder got ticked off in the locker room after the game too (more than what was said in the postgame), but it's a pretty sketchy source so who knows if there's any truth to it. I wouldn't have blamed him for going off on someone after that final shift though where they all quit and let him get bombarded for the extra goal.
Devils are 0-3-2 on the road this season and 2-11-8 in their last 21 road games dating back to last season.
Anyone have a link to the Schneider interview? I was too busy downing whiskey after that abomination of a hockey game.
