  1. Red Wings down 2-0 and being outshot 22-7. Caps trail 3-0.
  2. Still 2-0 Habs after two periods. Flyers played better as the second unfolded but the Canadiens rang one off the crossbar in the waning seconds.
  3. Watching Canadiens - Flyers…Canadiens are up 2-0 in the second and are playing the Flyers VERY tough so far. Torts looks PISSED. Canadiens about to go on the power play.
  4. Yeah, sure was great watching the Devils allow a game’s worth of shots in THE FIRST PERIOD against the Leafs. If Groan somehow gets the job I think I’m done with Fitz. That CANNOT fvcking happen.
  5. The thing about him is as much as he was blasted on here (and even though the Devils do little to make life easy for their goalies, he obviously wasn't great by any stretch), he's really only had one bad year, and his record itself this season somehow actually wasn't bad. He could rebound and be the middle-of-the-road guy to slightly above that he was prior. But even though it was a brief stay, it was already time for both parties to move on from each other. The potential for a serious blow-up had Fitz decided to bet on a bounceback was just waaaaaaay too strong. One narrative that needs to be quelled is that somehow a tandem of Allen and Kahkonen would've had the Devils in the playoffs, had they been here longer. These guys are absolutely playing out of their minds right now...and over their heads. It would be nice if the Devils could stop making them work so damned hard, but unless that happens, they're going to start giving up their fair share of goals. The looks that other teams get...
  6. More like the funny bone, but only without the funny.
  7. Yeah I'd MUCH rather see what Hatakka's got. I already know what Smith's got, and not much of it is worth watching.
  8. Yeah guys like Jack and Nico are not the problem here. Coaches who insist on not only on keeping Smith in the lineup but make sure to stick him with Nemec to boot…THAT’S a fvcking problem.
  9. Caps are 14-6-2 in their last 22. Yet another head coach (a rookie no less) who's light years ahead of the fossil that helped to kill the Devils' season.
  10. So the Devils play exactly one game over the next six days: Friday @ Buffalo (3/29). After that, they don't play again until Tues, vs the Pens (4/2). By then some of the current "games in hand" that teams have on the Devils will have evened out. As far as semi-catchable/in the mud with the Devils teams go: Flyers: 3/28 @ Montreal, 3/30 vs Blackhawks, 4/1 vs Isles Caps: 3/28 @ Leafs, 3/30 vs Bruins Red Wings: 3/28 @ Hurricanes, 3/30 @ Panthers, 4/1 @ Lightning Isles: 3/28 @ Panthers, 3/30 @ Lightning, 4/1 @ Flyers Not mentioning the Sabres or Pens because the way I see it, if the Devils fall behind either team at this point, they're probably screwed anyway. When 4/2 rolls around, here's who's playing who: Pens @ Devils Caps @ Sabres Isles @ Blackhawks Basically, we'll know for sure by 4/2 if the Devils have any chance at all, or are merely playing out the string.
  11. They won two in a row. They didn't look particularly good doing out...outshot 81-55 combined in the two games. I know insane goaltending has helped, but FWIW, as far as bright spots go, the Devils have suddenly killed 42 out of their last 46 penalties. They've moved into the Top 10 to boot...go figure.
  12. We know how it goes with news cycles...right now, the Baltimore bridge collapse is to Ohtani was what 9/11 was to Gary Condit. Not to make light of ANYTHING, more just pointing out how quickly some stories become less "urgent". Shero did bring in Palms (while shedding some guys) to start things off, as well as John Moore, Lee Stepniak, David Schlemko, Sergei Kalinin...and of course, set up a credit line to shop at the Penguin Dollar Store. He also had lingering deadwood that still needed to be excised...that team had so little on the roster at the time. I was against it at the time, but you can definitely make the argument that Shero could've traded Cory. AEWHistory made a case for it at the time, to his credit. That initial 2015-16 Shero team somehow went 38-36-8...they were even 29-21-7 at one point, before falling apart.
  13. Think about how much better these numbers could be if Bratt wasn’t in such a shooting funk. But yeah basically these guys are going to have to keep putting up a lot of points. The players are really on their own.
  14. Didn't see Constellation, but you made me think of another recent series finale that left many fans disappointed. Did you see Hightown? It ran for three seasons (SPOILERS COMING). The story takes place in Cape Cod, where a lesbian police officer named Jackie Quinones is investigating a murder in the initial season...over the course of the show, she struggles mightily with substance abuse, getting clean and then relapsing, and all too often as a cop wants to become a "savior", at hers and often other people's expense. By the series finale, she has not only gotten clean for what feels like for good (it feels like she finally did it for the right reasons), but she clearly has chosen a side, and that side is, for lack of better words, is to be "good". A fellow police offer (Ray Abruzzo) follows a much different path, becoming more and more incredibly corrupt, to the point where all of his actions have forced him completely to the dark side, and that was REALLY where the finale lay...the highly contrasting roads taken by Jackie and Ray (who were friends and well as colleagues) over the course of the show. It's clearly that Jackie, by having "chosen a side", is going to take down Ray, which we won't get to see, and it's clear that Ray KNOWS that Jackie's absolutely going to do what it takes to take him down. Jackie's growth and Ray's decline reached their zeniths was really what the finale was about, more than every last story line being wrapped up with a bow (which is what most fans wanted). I don't necessarily need to see HOW Jackie takes down Ray in some fourth season; knowing that she's in a place where she CAN, and Ray knows that he's in a place that he won't be able to stop her is enough for me.
