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

[SeanMoneyHands]

I knew whichever team got Vanacek would have success. He's a very good goalie, Semyon Varlamov 2.0. But Washington let's him go to sign Keumper?

Ghetto in the woods sounds cool same with place where clerks was filmed but i always wanted to go see jews

The Jews part is mislabeled. Yes there is a Jewish community in Highland Park, but nothing like the massive community in Lakewood.

Not gonna last, highly doubt it. 10 game winning streak seen this so many times.
Wouldn't be surprising if they would lose 10+ games in a row at some point of the season.
They are playing far beyond their capabilities + super easy schedule to start the season

facts are these; last 9 wins (in a row) versus
Canadiens, Coyotes, struggling Flames x 2,
struggling Oilers, Canucks, Blue Jackets
and when they won the Avs, they were
still underachieving back then, a lot.

+ two other wins from vs Ducks and Sharks

13 wins; Ducks, Sharks, Canadiens, Coyotes, Canucks, Blue Jackets,
Oilers, Avalanche and twice the Flames with Islanders and Red Wings

8 wins versus teams that didn't make the play-offs last season
and the rest 5 wins versus teams that are/were struggling/underachieving


smokes, mirrors, bubbles...


laugh all you can, ha ha..

Like when Auston Matthews was going to be a third line center? Or Jack Hughes was a bust.

Go ahead and update the thread title. Honestly what will it take for you to be humbled and realize your opinions are bad?

It's just his schtick on these boards. Dumb statement after dumb statement after dumb statement to get other posters riled up. I don't get it personally, but he must get off on the attention or something.

Anyway, I do appreciate this thread as a nice gathering point after each win for Devils fans but I don't take an ounce of what the OP says remotely serious.

Wow we get the rare follow-up after you create a thread, plus a double-down. Impressive stuff

Oilers were not 'struggling' when we played them. They were on 5 game winstreak before they ran into NJD.

The two teams had the same record going into that game.

DEVILS (7-3-0) vs. OILERS (7-3-0)

Coyotes had a 3 game win streak coming into the game against us as well.

I know you are doubling down on your take but it doesnt make it right.

 

[NYRKing]

Very very impressive even if the pace is unsustainable. A winning streak like this with the type of parody in the league is extremely difficult.

Kudos to the fans that called for Lindy to be out at the start of the season. Obviously triggered the right response.

The excuses will still keep coming too.

Devils upcoming schedule is: @TOR, @ OTT, EDM, TOR, @BUF, WSH, @ NYR, NSH, @PHI, CHI

Toronto's injuries automatically rules out anything impressive there, as does Edmonton's goaltending/Kane injury. Washington and Nashville are struggling this season and outside the playoffs, so nothing to see there. I'm sure they'll be an excuse for the Rangers game as well.

By mid-December the schedule gets tough with @ NYR, DAL, PHI, FLA, @ CAR, @FLA, BOS, BOS, @ PIT, CAR so I guess we'll have to wait until next year to see if they can get any type of credit.

In the meantime, I'll just enjoy them racking up the wins.

This is an unbelievable take. You realize we literally had the worst goaltending in the league last year. If we can get average goaltending (which we have) and our younger players can improve (they already have) and our team can stay relatively healthy (aside from Blackwood and Palat they have), this is a legit playoff team.

We're bound to level off at some point but the team has improved at every position including coaching. Playoffs are not so difficult to comprehend but it's still a long way to go. At the very least, the team will be fighting for a playoff spot which is something all Devils fans will take after the last 10 years.

 

[nturn06]

Judging by another thread on the main boards, it is because of John Marino. They would probably had been 3-13 at this point without him, or so I understand.

You should go on a talent show with the ability to talk this much out of your ass. Some of those teams the devils beat the leafs lost to lol.

This team isn’t on a pdo bender. Their metrics show they are a good team.

I know you are doubling down on your take but it doesnt make it right.

I don't think he actually watches hockey. His takes on the Leafs are also horrible in the other main board threads.

The Devils are a legit club, and if anything are finally performing how they should be after some shitty luck for a few years. Nice to see Nico doing well and starting to live up to his draft status.

Even saying that seems to be giving him too much credit for his string of amazingly bad takes on these boards.

And yet the stats show this is a good team lol.

 

[Stickpucker]

Once you get your goaler sorted they can mask many problem of team.

Not saying that NJ are bad team but good goalering compared to what they were getting is a huge help. Makes the guys in front play a little looser and with more confidence. Not freaking out to let any shot for softy goal.

 

[TBF1972]

Bratt, Hughes and especially Hischer have played well, but I don't think many would count them as superstars.

Dont get me wrong, I prefer the team game over individuals and have no doubt that this kind of play can lead to a playoff spot and a deep run.

whatever a superstar is. in certain cases the word is used loosly

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Dougie Hamilton is on pace for 70pts. Good to see his signing paying off.

 

[TBF1972]

It’s only been a decade.

but the result is fast.

I'm sure they'll be an excuse for the Rangers game as well.: Perhaps's Kravtsov's infected tooth may be better by then, giving the rangers a full squad.

 

[Cheddabombs]

I think the funniest thing I read about this are the comments like "they'll slow down" or "this won't last". No shit lmao. Obviously they aren't going to go undefeated, or have maintain their point percentage pace, the rest of the season. But they've finally shown improvement which is great.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Nobody would have predicted Jesper Bratt to be this good. Many teams passed up on him.
