Why are the Devils 21-4-1? insane easy schedule, makes perfect sense.

If Erik Haula wasn’t the worst finisher in the NHL Hughes might have 30 points already

 

[Hisch13r]

John Marino is the best Dman in the NHL.

He's not even one of the 2 best Dmen on his own team.

 

[McDuffz88]

NJ Devils are unstoppable. I would also like to thank Pittsburgh for giving us one of the best dmen in the NHL for a bag of pucks. You really helped push our rebuild to the next level.

JFK would be alive if haula was taking the shot

Says a lot more about the team than it does Marino, if that’s even true

 

[Chadstudsky]

It was my first time watching the devils this year (habs fan), man they execute quick. They're for real IMO.

It's definitely true and yes it says more about how incredible Dougie and Siegs are.

They're fast and relentless. Good recipe for success if they can stay healthy. I think they won't go far in the playoffs but they're still one of the youngest teams in the league, I think you will find they will be good for a while.

I don't think our fanbase expects to destroy veteran laden teams come playoffs, the kids getting some experience will be tremendous in itself. Also depends what Fitz does at the deadline if anything. Btw, really impressed with the Habs tonight, Vanecek was the only reason it wasn't 2-0 or 3-1 Habs at the end of the first.

And Lincoln

I'm not going to say what I expect of the playoffs when it's still November. I'll see how they're playing then. If they continue to play how they have been playing then there's quite literally no reason they can't beat anyone.

For sure, it's crazy because I think the Devils would skate the Islanders into the ground in a long series but they have the advantage due how veteran that team is + Sorokin can steal games/a series. Getting far ahead but it's just nice to see this team's long rebuild taking shape into a perennial playoff contender.

This you?

This you?

Lmao no but that is hilarious and says a lot about how he’s been shooting this year

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

if OP is a Leafs fan and they end the streak on Thursday, what a troll lol

 

[Chainshot]

Geeeeeooooorge! Update the title man. Come on... for accuracy.

Wasn't Lindy universally hated by the fan base a month ago?

 

[Hisch13r]

Wasn't Lindy universally hated by the fan base a month ago?

No. Majority did. Some thought he was a "fine" coach getting crushed by ECHL goaltending.

 

[McDuffz88]

Wasn't Lindy universally hated by the fan base a month ago?

Yeah he was but he redeemed himself & the crowd 2 games ago was chanting sorry Lindy. I was one of those who wanted Ruff fired (as you can tell from my avatar) but I refuse to change it because ever since I did is when this winning streak started. I still think Ruff is done after this season and Brunnette should take the mantle who runs a similar style.

 

[Cheddabombs]

And we have repented for our sins

 

[Emperoreddy]

Wasn't Lindy universally hated by the fan base a month ago?

Yes and we apologized to him last week

they are playing to lose a game. in the first period they gifted too many chances to the canadiens. against a better team exchanges scoring chances is dangerous

Yeah and then the remaining 40 minutes they gave up f*** all

Doesn't matter, they have a goalie who can legit stop pucks now.

And the game ended with Montreal only having 26 shots, because after the 1st they played their game. One bad period a bad game doesn't make. It would be best not to make a habit out of that kind of bad play, but you can't expect perfection all the time.
