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

When Hughes vs. Kakko becomes a lifestyle

Why is a team with players that do this, good?

 

[HBK27]

he finally changed the title, was wondering how long the Devils would be 11-3-1 for.

Devils were 11-3 when the thread was originally made and it didn't make any sense.

All they've done since then is put up an even better record at 10-1-1.

It's convenient timing for a thread title update as the schedule gets tough now with the Islanders coming up next, followed by 4 games in 6 nights against (NYR, Dal, PHI & FLA), which after 2 days off is followed by 3 games in 4 nights (CAR, FLA, BOS) and then another game against Boston.

Easily schedule he says lmao

Why none are listening, nor believe what i say, you are all fools thinking Devils are legit.

I have got to hand it to you, man.

You are unshakeable in your convictions.

(that or you're trolling in a troll thread....)

Devils are better than the pens, the lightning, the blues, the panthers, the kings, the kraken, the wild and the jets.

The only team I’ll say is better than the devils atm are the bruins. It’s a toss up with the knights.

The Canes are a very much a top team they just can’t hit the broad side of a barn.

They lost a couple of key scorers on offense, Niederreiter (the signature forward in some ways) and Trocheck.

Pacioretty’s leg exploded 10 minutes after they traded for him.

They signed a guy who gets sadly concussed all the time (Kase) and he got sadly concussed.

Tervainen has only played 16 games due to injury and somehow has zero goals. He just got back though and his passing will help their moribund PP (sadly just in time for when we play them).

Kotkaniemi being an offensive non-entity doesn’t help.

Jarvis hasn’t produced a ton but will be fine, he’s just young and a neat little player. Actually looking forward to seeing him play live along with Necas, who has turned into a total beast.

Thanks for coming to my TED TALK on the Canes in a terrible Devils thread on the main board.

My main point is that with the Devils harder schedule, and the Canes easier one, they could actually take the Metro if their offense caught fire.

That offense has to do the catching fire part first though and the Devils would have to cool down.

Either way, we will inevitably lose more games everyone, .827 win % isn’t actually maintainable. We are super special though, our mom’s tell us that every day.

There is not a team in the league that can keep up with the devils for 3 periods. This whole season they’ve not really strung together more than 2 bad periods. They also have the ability to just turn it up and core at will. Closest to the 2001 team I’ve seen.

I'll just leave this here because someone was asking for it.

Auston Matthews will be a bust.
- a type of bust who will have a long career
but didn't match his high excpectations what
was set for him. why?

Heres why, prior to draft year:
-played in the best team in NLA,Swiss league
-was coached by NA head coach
-scored 24 goals,49 points in 40 games
-had 8 penalty minutes
-scored 20 points in 17 international games (wjc u20,wc)

Has shined for USNTDP juniors (USHL),USNT u18 team (USDP)
world juniors (u20,u18),was good,not great at last worlds.

Did not dominate last season in the NLA,i know many so claim
that he did,but scoring 49 points in 40 games in the NLA
isn't dominating,even if you are 18 going 19 and NA.

I predict he'll be 3rd line two-way center at best,
900 career games 120+ goals,450+ points.

"11-3-0 makes no sense". Proceeds to go 10-1-1 since that time. "21-4-1 makes no sense".

Solid logic on display.

Good luck come playoff time

I think most Devils fans will be happy with just getting into the playoffs, and will take whatever happens there as a good learning experience for what is the youngest team in the league.

 

[nbwingsfan]

Yet to face Bruins, Stars, Hurricanes, Penguins, Lightning, Panthers, Jets, Wild, Blues, Kings, Golden Knights, Kraken

Panthers, Pens, Wild and especially Blues aren’t very good

 

[1specter]

Vanecek seems to have settled in now as well. This is a really dangerous team if their goaltending is consistent.

I’d say the team with a better win% despite missing so much stat power to start the year tcan certainly keep up.

That should be a fun game

Completely agree, and I could see them making a bit of a run like the Rags last year or the Canes in 2018-19. But the hot start to the season has made some Devils fans quite braggadocious. There are still 4+ teams in the East I think would beat them in a playoff series. Anything can happen in hockey but if I were a betting man I wouldn't be putting my $ on the Devils.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

They're on pace for 65 wins this year.

I’ll take the under on that. Doesn’t mean they suck though like op claims.

It's very hard to beat this Devils team ONCE. What gives you the illusion 4 other teams will beat them 4x in a series?

Seems unlikely they will hit that, but I will ride this hype train as long as it lasts.

He's also adorable, which I think only helps him while he's playing

It's not as hard as the first 1/4 of the season makes it seem to fans like yourself. You're in a for a rude awakening if you think it'll be this easy come playoff time, lol.

Thanks, you too!
