OOT Scoreboard 2024 25 Season Part II

[SJinNewJersey]

It would be pretty funny if the Isles made the playoffs after finally selling some assets off.

 

[Emperoreddy]

We can get to 90 by going just 5-8-0 to the finish. Detroit would need to go 10-4-0 to get to 90. Columbus and Islanders 10–5-0, Rangers 9-4-0 and Canadiens 8-6-1 to get to 90.

And our schedule is not difficult and very home heavy. I don't think our fanbase needs to be too concerned about making it at this point

The reporting was that Shero pitched the idea of a five year deal to Hall's agent and Hall wanted an 8 year deal and they never went past the initial discussions to talking money. One of the smarter things Shero did in retrospect. I'm tired of NJ having to overpay guys to play. If you want out, leave. I'm cheering for whoever is in a NJ uniform.

As it worked out people would have even bitched about the five year deal being too much for too long lol

They cannot let up though. One bad week and they could be back in the corsshairs.

If they do make it in then that April stretch is prime before the postseason.

I forgot all about this.

You know what? f*** him. It's 2025 and he has no deal for next year right now. Unless the Canes signed him like what was rumored? I don't think they did yet?

So if he had taken just the 5 year deal from us he would have been in the same spot he's at right now. UFA in the summer of 2025. That also was if we didn't re-sign him. And with the way he is now, I think we would have forced him out of town by now. Especially with how much of a f*** he was acting like at the end.

And the f***in bozo went to UFA that year and got just a one year deal from Buffalo at like $8.5 million? Yeah, f*** him.

Asshole.

Didn't Buffalo ended up trading him? To Bruins? I think Lazar was moved to.

 

[Bleedred]

Yeah, at or around the deadline that year.

And then the Bruins extended him 4 years and shipped him off to Chicago to shed cap two years in.

Apparently Boston offered him the same deal the year before, but he declined so he get could a couple or few million more dollars for one from Buffalo.

Why isn't there a rule in the NHL if the puck bounces off a ref that leads to a direct goal in the same possession, that it should not count.

Is there something I am missing here?

 

[Devs3cups]

I'd be so pissed if that happened to us. What an unfortunate play.

 

[Bleedred]

Thankfully I’m not the only one or first one to say “And this is one I’m sure Blackwood would like to have”.

Grubauer is playing right now so that probably won’t be softy of the night.

The ref is considered part of the ice surface. The only thing that doesn't count is if the puck goes into the net directly off the ref.

Embarrassing offsides call

 

[jkrdevil]

And now it looks like a 3 point game on the Island.

 

[Satans Hockey]

And now it looks like a 3 point game on the Island.

Montreal doesn't matter and the Islanders are still worse than us and have a really tough schedule

 

[Comparison Ford]

Montreal doesn't matter and the Islanders are still worse than us and have a really though schedule

yah would much rather Montreal gets the two points here

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Isles gain 2 on us

 

[jkrdevil]

After tonight Montreal moves to 2 games behind us. More importantly Islanders move to 3 games behind and Columbus 3.5 games. Rangers stay at 4

Islanders have two games in hand and head to head vs us remaining.

 

[It Takes 2 To Tango]

Buccigross with a “Holy shnikies!” here is such a sad call. He’s used that line before and it gets cringier every time

 

[BurntToast]

The Islanders aren’t making the playoffs at the Devils expense. The Devils own every tiebreaker. Wins, Regulation Wins, Row etc etc. They basically would need to win out and the Devils to lose 70% of their games.

They win their games in hand and beat us head to head the teams are tied. Then you are talking about them needing to be 1 point better over the other 11 games.

I have learned “games in hand” doesn’t mean anything. They have no value.

They only have two easy games. Nashville and Philly. Everyone else is fighting for positioning or playoff spots.

The Devils get 2 games with the sagging Bruins and the Blackhawks. I would include the Pens but we know what happened last time.

 

[Mgd31]

If they get caught by the Islanders (after the year they have had) and Montreal (who we have beaten each time this year), I think the Devils needs to suspend operations for at least a year.

The fact that these teams are still relevant to us after NYR and Columbus have fallen apart, just goes to show how bad we have screwed this up.

So extremely minuscule odds then
