While we are doing well in the standings, i feel this team could be even better. Tonights game proved that. Kept on saying that its a long process to get Keefe and other new guys working together in a new system and as long as we make the playoffs, we good. Plenty of time to get this thing firing on all cylinders by April.

Just needed to get past the lack of a camp, euro trip, and tight schedule.

Schedule has gotten more normal and we have only gotten better

Great bounce back win. Holding the Pens to such a low shot total but also getting a good gosltending performance is great. Noesen has been such a great addition for us , I'm glad he found his way back here. Nico's line was great tonight too.

Just wanna go into Christmas break with a big win over the Rags. My brother actually won two free club seat tickets to the game on Monday but I told him to take our younger brother as I have gone to 4 games already this season (4-0-0).

The refereeing has been shockingly horrible against NJ the last few games. Somehow we control whole ass games and yet are only able to draw 1-2 pps per game and always less than our opponent
One ref stood there and watched Bunting take multiple baseball style swings and hit Hamilton’s legs. Ref did nothing because apparently Bunting being in his feels negated him going temporarily crazy.

While not wearing a helmet, no less. I missed the part in the rulebook where helmetless players are allowed to slash at opponents if they feel they've been wronged, then they have to skate to the bench.

Hopefully no new threads go up about the Devils. Let’s see how it plays out.

I know what must be done

We did that once. It’s nowhere near even.

Eh, I disagree. It's harder to spot the fluky wins, but the first game against Florida, the OT win against the Islanders, the Wings win in regulation - there's some games that could've gone to OT but didn't. On balance, the Devils are losing too many points in these games, but not as much as you would think.

Not sure if it was Danno, who mentioned that when you have Pesce and Hughes has your third pairing, you must have a pretty good defense.
The point that we have 3 strong pairings is a good one, but Pesce and Hughes are not our 3rd pair. They play the most 5v5 minutes of the 3.

Pesce averages the most toi of any of our D-men, and Dillon the least, though Hughes is 5th while Hamilton is 2nd.

Didn't they show in the replay that while skating toward his bench, he put his helmet on, and then turned around and joined play again?

But I don't mind battling the ref's a little right now. As long as we win of course, but we are so, go ahead, make it more difficult.

He definitely didn't get off the ice.

I saw that live from in arena. He put the dome back on as he got back to bench (but never got off) and circled back into the play.

What is the official rule for that? Is it more Long the lines of, if you "lose" your helmet? He had it in his hand and was putting it back on (albeit while skating back to the bench)

Pretty sure Sieg's lost his helmet last year or the year before and the rule was, lose your helmet, get off the ice.
