Wild is a good example of the fine line it is for NHL teams dealing with injuries. They had 2-3 key injuries and were in even worse shape than NJD. Hell, even the current bad version of the Devils outplayed them twice. But they got their boys back and are now competitive.

Having a healthy Jack and Siegs would have done wonders for us (also a healthy Dougie). Still would be a flawed team but they would be in a better spot. Need our guys healthy next season and need Fitz to supplement them with some better complimentary players.

If next season we have a mostly healthy roster + replacing a minimum of two dead weight players = ~100 point team in my opinion. Not bonefide contenders yet but a step in the right direction.

Everyone was saying Wild were going to get swept too

 

[NjDevsRR]

Helle with a bad night, woof. Just gave Buch the hatty

Didn’t think they’d get swept, but also never gave any thought to the idea that they could win the series.

Devils didn't truly start their rebuild until they got Nico, McLeod and Zacha were not franchise pieces and the Devils were going to be bad with those picks because they were not day 1 guys in the league. As soon as they drafted Nico, their rebuild started imo. Yes, LAK got swept by Vegas.

thats pretty generous with the start time. i mean the team didn't finish better then 20th outside the year after the finals run. i would say the rebuild started when lou stepped down.

I think Shero wanted to have his cake and eat it too. He didn’t really go all in.

Matt Boldy f***ing rocks.

 

[Clam Jensen]

Matt Boldy f***ing rocks.

2nd best player from that draft

If you could clone an entire hockey team comprised of 23 Bobby Holiks they'd probably resemble the Florida Panthers.

 

[JrFischer54]

Panthers man have that swagger and just all around grit determination getting under your skin getting physical damn man thats playoff hockey team

Ok and the Devils still have more playoff round wins since than LAK. What's your point? Complaining just to complain lol

kings are in a better spot then the devils

Good for them, I care about the Devils being better 31 other teams not just a singular one. You know kinda like what Fitz did with the Hurricanes after 2023 and why we're in this mess

He's doing nothing to dispel the "Helle can't win in the playoffs" criticism.

Like Vasilevskiy in game 1, I didn’t think most of the goals were bad, but the hat trick goal for Buchnevich was absolutely brutal and caused by a puck playing gaffe on his part.

He didn’t do much to deserve any credit for game 1 and gave up a couple of weak ones, and I’m pretty sure I nailed him for one in game 2.

AGAIN, let's keep team talk in the team threads before I have to actually hit some of you up for spamming...this thread is for OOT game discussion.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Gotta shoot to score. That play epitomizes that. Put pucks on the net. Habs tie it up.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

lol wtf

 

[JrFischer54]

Tom Wilson tremendous playoff asset

 

[Emperoreddy]

Dude in the far too chill for all of that

 

[Emperoreddy]
