NJDevs4978 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 One thing not that hasn't been brought up is Bryzgalov on the Wild: 7-0-3 with an almost .930 save pct. Good for him. All you have to do is NOT be a Flyer or an Oiler. Bet they're glad they didn't get Marty now And Columbus already up 2-0...the end is near.

'7' Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 yes its over. One thing we forget is that teams play much harder against NJ and then outright corpse against other teams in the playoff chase. Dallas and Pitt are barely trying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Dallas SHOULD be trying, they're life and death with Phoenix for the ninth seed...laying an egg like this is making me root for Phoenix to get that second wild-card spot I can understand Pittsburgh not competing cause they're locked into a seed but Dallas...really?

NJDevs4978 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Fitting that it ends with another almost. The only thing that would have been more fitting is if it ended with another abortion of a shootout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 btw I was told earlier this year Detroit 'wasn't that good'...how good do they look now, WITHOUT Datsyuk or Zett for most of the post-Olympic break? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) I've never seen so many games where teams we need to lose score goals to tie with like 1:30 or less to go.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Oh well...gotta give Columbus credit...they slammed the door shut and did what they had to. Devils had countless opportunities to make a run and never did it...it was just tease after tease after tease. We knew a while ago they were going to have to be a .660 point% team over a long stretch to get in, and it just never happened. And we also all knew 3-game pointless streak post-Olympic break was probably going to kill them and would be nearly impossible to overcome. Well, it was. And sorry MB, but this is why continually pointing out the "ease" of the schedule was futile. As fans continually pointed out, the schedule was never that much of a factor. I was hoping the home/away imbalance correction would help them, but when the Devils went 2-2-1 in that five-game homestand (where they really needed to go 3-1-1 at bare minimum), that kind of killed that. Post-break, the Devils went 7-4-1 at home, 3-4-2 on the road. 10-8-3 overall. Not awful, but simply not nearly good enough, end of story. Columbus did much better and earned their berth.

EdgeControl Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) shut out too many times, couldnt win a SO, never had a real winning streak. oh well at least they kept it interesting until baseball/lacrosse season started. yippee. merrill got lots of nhl mins, larsson not so much. henrique finished strong. clowe, ryder brunner ..eh schnieder is the real deal, its not all bad but,, Edited April 10, 2014 by EdgeControl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDfan1711 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 my bad mood has already started after the loss earlier this week... hopefully i get over it sooner rather than later.. just blows, another long off season for these fans...starting to get old now We've been spoiled. I hate it and it eats me up inside too, and already I can't wait for September/October now, but the truth is, there are SOOOOO many more teams that go through not just back to back missed playoffs, but handfuls and even dozens. The Stars, if they don't make it this year, will be 6 years now. Winnipeg hasn't made it in 3 years in the new city, and dating back to Atlanta, is 4 more years for a total of 7. Even our neighbors the Islanders went 7 seasons from '93 to 2000, and the Rangers also went 7 from '97 to 2006. For us to miss two back to back, and 3 in 4 years sucks, but it could be much worse. Hopefully we do well in the draft and some guys in the minors get deservedly more playing time and we're back on track next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
