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

[Devil made me do it]

Wassup, @GeorgeLeafer12?

OP has had 4 more games to make sense of this. Still hasn't, hence thread not updated.

 

[McDuffz88]

Devils are up to a 12 game winning streak. One more away from tying franchise record. We're unstoppable.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Update the title, Georgie

12-3-0

Thread title requires immediate revisions.

First NHL team in history to sweep the Western and Eastern Canada trips.

 

[HenriquesJawLine]

I see a lot of people saying to look to upgrade Tatar but he's playing great hockey and the stats for the Tatar-Hischier-Zetterlund line are hilarious

 

[NjDevsRR]

And to go further. Won 15 of last 16.

Shit, we literally could have won every single game lmfao

 

[MasterofGrond]

it makes no sense!

12-3-0

That’s 12 if you only count the 12 game winning streak

And Tatar was literally this good with Montreal as well. Tatar’s f***ing great

What about 14-3 OP?

You mean 15-3

Peaking too early?

 

[D1az]

Not gonna lie. I still don't understand how this is possible. I had a long hard look at the roster and still don't get it.
I did also think that Hamilton made sure he was going to make a lot of money but potentially throwing his Cup-wishes far into the future, at best, but right now it seems like that prediction is rotting away faster than my initial take on Draisaitl's contract.

 

[Hisch13r]

Only need a ~90 pt pace from here on out to finish with 100

I caught some of the game today. This Devils team is for real. Ottawa had no answer for them. What is scary is that they could have scored more goals.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

New Jersey would be silly to think Ruff just became an elite coach. Let him walk in the offseason.

Talbot was fantastic coming in cold

So glad Johnny Hockey's wife's boyfriend wanted to go to Columbus.

We brought in two excellent assistants. Depending on the length of extension Ruff would want, I don't mind keeping this team in place for another year or two.

Yeah, I think ultimately we were very lucky to dodge that contract. Gaudreau could easily have become our Tavares - a great player, but one who makes maintaining a deep lineup well-nigh impossible.

The only issue with extending Ruff is that Brunette will likely take a job elsewhere

Well that would definitely change the calculus. That said, Brunette's title is actually "Associate" coach, I'm sure we're paying him a lot of money.

Our need for a winger was probably evident than Toronto needing Tavares. though They had a good 2C in Kadri already but couldn't trust him for the playoffs. The Palat deal might be equally as awful but hopefully the cap spikes as much as it's being reported + we can squeeze some years out of him before year 4+5.
