Another shutout and another game where we give up less than 15th shots. Starting to blow my mind. I knew we had a good backend, now the team defense has kicked in. You’re not going to win every game, however, I consider the Devils a cup contender.

 

[Lou is God]

It's on again.

Any depth scoring and they’d be my favorites.

I don't fully trust our depth scoring as is. It's always our big guns getting the job done...in my opinion to be a contender you need those bottom 6 contributing more than ours does.

Still lots of time to address it but it needs to be addressed. Hopefully we add something at the deadline or before.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Back to back 12 save shutouts? I’m CRYING

 

[Nubmer6]

I might be able to handle 12 shots

Of whiskey?

Whiskey no problem... tequila I'm iffy.

Yeah the bottom 6 is where any adds will come before the deadline. The top 6 is producing more often than not. No real concerns there. Our D corps is set. Goaltending has been good. It’s just the bottom 6 forwards that could use an add or two. And in reality those are the easiest adds to make. It’s hard not to absolutely love where we are now and moving forward.

You need to use extra lime for that much tequila

Yesterday I said to someone he looks like Heiskanen but even better. Obviously a LOOOOOOOONG way to go but the Niedermayer comp doesn't look all that outlandish right now

I remember it took Scotty a few years before he got better at defending. It seems like it took Luke one season to get it.

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

If you told me that DJ f*** Face was a healthy scratch, I would believe you. I don’t recall hearing his name at all.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

The biggest mistake we made all game somehow passed us all by..... We have to talk about Dano wearing a hoodie underneath his suit jacket lmfao....

This morning it was 10 degrees out. Give him a break. Us old guys don’t handle the cold well.

911, I’d like to report another murder. I think it involves a serial killer named Jack.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

I never watch Ranger games, do they always look this bad? They didn't even try...

It really looks like they gave up after the first period. You can see it on their faces and body language.

we're a contender as is right now with no changes to anything.

We get some more help? We're a juggernaut.

I do too…if they can figure out the bottom six. Those guys are playing some bizarre hockey in the O zone. At one point I. Today’s game Haula had an easy lane to pass the puck over to Cotter wide open in the high slot. Instead he chose to direct some weak shot towards the net even though he had a man on him. I don’t know what they’re doing, but the devils need depth scoring to make a run.

I don’t even know what our cap will look like by deadline.

Almost impossible to have a perfect team but doesn’t mean they shouldn’t try.

A long playoff runs likely rides on a bottom 6 player catching fire, like martinook did against New Jersey in round 2

 

[guitarguyvic]

Need more offensive support from the backend too. Dougie has become invisible again, Luke still has work to do in finishing his chances, and everyone else is more stay at home.

 

[Satans Hockey]

Benching Kreider sure worked out well for them lols.

I agree. I think one good move is all we need. Making two moves we may be giving up to many assets. I understand it’s about winning the cup, but there’s no guarantees. There at least a half dozen real good teams. I’d take Kreider for a 3rd rounder. Motivated he could be a big help.

There is always some random unsung hero that goes on a scoring binge or randomly finds their game come playoffs.

Not saying we shouldn't look to add, but I feel like someone in the current bottom 6 will step up big time come playoff time.

Some of that is play style. You don't get up less then 20 shots for 7 games straight by accident.

Usually means your back end isn't cheating for offense.
