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

Ed was the better team tonight, Skinner with his worst game of the season everything is clicking for the devils. Definitely getting some puck luck. Good for there fans

It seemed pretty even to me. Edmonton just doesn't have the offensive or defensive depth of NJ. Also, if you take away pretty much the only goal you can really put on the Edmonton goalie, the game is still 4-2. And I'd venture a guess that 13 wins in a row is just a bit more than puck luck.

Did you watch the game? Edmonton was dominating the play, the devils cashed In on every chance they had. Tatars goal was pure puck luck, amd great hand eye don't get me wrong. Amd the Skinner mishap took away any momentum Edmonton had.

I saw Oiler Defencemen glide along the ice and not cover the front of the net at all which allowed two goals if thats what you mean.

Yes, I watched the game from start to finish. I'm curious how you define dominating. Like objectively how were they dominating?

Also, you statement on Tatars goals sounds like an oxymoron to me. It can't be pure luck and skill. Like, in what way was it lucky?

And Skinners bad goal ruined the night for Edmonton, but the goal that bounced in off Devils D man Smith to tie the game didn't ruin it for the Devils? I dunno. This just felt like the better team won to me, even if it wasn't one of their better efforts.

You wanna talk puck luck let's talk about Draisaitl's goal.

Devils were the better team and deserved the win.

Did you watch the game? Edmonton looked like the better team in the first period, then it looked like devils took over in the second and continued thru the third. “Dominating” is a bit much, their power play maybe, but def not 5v5

that’s because it does mean something, especially considering how bad we’ve been in recent years. but you knew that

Neat. Go watch how the actual winners gave a shit about regular season nonsense.

It’s a cool thing the devils are doing. The fact they think it means something is why they will ultimately get spanked in the playoffs. Happens to every young core.
