Meh, they need to learn playoff hockey. I wouldn't be pissed off by a 1st round exit. It's part of the process. I do think they have the talent to go further than that though.

Well that’s what I’m getting at. They have the talent but they play stupid immature hockey. I will be pissed if they go out in the first round precisely because I know they could have done better if they’d just stop being morons.

I don’t know if I fully buy into this idea that they need to experience it first. It’s obviously hurting them in games now. And if the average HF poster knows this is gonna get them pasted in the playoffs, how the hell do these guys not know it? The coach should be holding them accountable to playing more responsibly and not making repeatedly stupid decisions.

think we can sign Gomer for another run

 

[DerekDevils30]

Clean up the neutral zone and the turnovers and they can make a game of this. A PP goal at the start of the 2nd would be nice.

 

[MasterofGrond]

i dont think we should have the New Jersey Lottery as a sponsor anymore now that we're pretty good tbh

 

[Devs3cups]

2 rough games so far, but at least they are meaningful games. I'll take this all day over last year.

Meh, Montreal game was weird but we deserved a better fate. Tonight is unfortunate cause we're once again controlling play. 2 breakdowns end up in the back of our net. Timely saves have been rare these last 2 games.

Bad first period yet again, frustrating. If the guys are all really sick though it's understandable why they are so sloppy tonight.

you guys realize the more you post this stuff, the more people like us will continue posting it?

 

[TF1970]

If I’m counting, they’ve allowed first goal in six of the last seven games. So frustrating.

Palat, Hamliton, whoever their deadline add is, Haula, Marino, Graves, etc. have all played in big time games and can calm the nerves of the core.

They show a fine overall period ruined by 2 mistakes and no timely saves.

Hope no fan still has any ill will for Gomer. Sucks that he signed with the Rangers but who in their right mind wouldn't have taken that deal?

While I agree, the main core is not experienced.

I went to the bad earlier to wake up for the game. And now I see a reason why I will not really regret about Severson after he will leaving and why we should not trade Nemec for Meier. Guy is 9 years expirienced. I`m ok to live with this kind of mistakes from the guys on elc. Not from the guy with 6mil under cap hit. I think he is good over all, better than average defenseman. Pretty deserve to be good 2nd pair defenseman. Just not in the devils please. Save this money for Meier.

A shitty period all round

Scotty is such a funny dude lol.

 

[BahlDeep]

I could listen to Gomez tell stories for days

He really is awesome. I love listening to him talk. Such a goofball.

Disagree but it's all good.

I'd like Jack to come out firing here.

 

[JimEIV]

If you are a Devils fan and you don't love Scott Gomez there is definitely something wrong with you.

 

[Killing Joke]

Feeling like a loss.
