  1. On that note…many years ago, I went to a game at Shea (think it was early May…nope, was late May) with a girl I was seeing, and it was one of those low-70s sunny days that just feels so warm in the afternoon. Problem was that the game was at NIGHT…but I was still dressed for the day that had long since said goodbye with the sunset. And it was friggin’ COLD AS fvck. And WINDY! I shivered the whole damned time. What was funny was Gregg Jefferies was playing for the Phillies at the time, and he was playing catch in the field…every time he caught the ball screamed “YEEEEEEEEAH!” (obviously mocking how meh of a fielder Jefferies was). Finally Jefferies stopped and more or less said “What the fvck is your problem?” and then they got into it for a bit, heh heh. Mets did win the game, so there was that.
  2. Perfect. Was thinking of the exact same clip.
  3. Same ol merry batch o’ losers. Same ol Mets.
  4. I don't blame ANYONE for feeling this way. Like I've said previously, Lucy can only Charlie Brown the football away from you so many times before you decide that maybe it's not even worth trying to kick anymore. The way I see it, anything less than four points these next two games, game over, no more continues.
  5. @ButlerBulldog don't be surprised if this becomes kind of your personal blog...there used to be a fairly active amount of Yankee fans on njdevs, but one was banned, and the others have largely moved on. Like most Mets fans in the area, I'm usually plenty aware of how the Yankees are doing and who's healthy/injured/hot/cold etc., and sometimes will talk shop with a Yankee fan, but can't say that I go out of my way to do it. You might just want to jump into the Mets thread to talk NY baseball, as me, '7', and Has are reasonably active there, and we don't give sh!t to Yankee fans as long as they're not trolling.
  6. It's happened a few times in hockey, but it's not common practice for sure. I think it might happen if Toffoli doesn't get the kind of long-term offer that he was hoping for. At one point, I wasn't opposed to a couple of years, but now I'd just rather go in a different direction altogether. If Toffoli's not scoring 35+, he's not really helping, and even at 35+, that probably isn't enough to offset the rest of the time. It's not like he's not exactly moving the needle much for the Jets, and it doesn't feel like Devils have missed him.
  7. The potential for those games to mean a ton is absolutely there, no doubt. BTW the Flyers finish up against the Devils and Caps, the Devils finish up against the Flyers and Islanders, the Caps finish up against the Bruins and Flyers, and the Islanders finish up against the Devils and Pens. So much can be on the line for ALL of those teams.
  8. No to Toffoli, for reasons that I stated previously. He can score but doesn't bring much else, is too slow to really jell with this group of forwards, and the Devils need to become more physical. There's cap space, but looks like the Devils are going to take on a considerable cap hit if he lands a big fish to play goal; if that's Saros or Ullmark, he'll have to pay them beyond next season. Also Luke will already be up for an extension as a RFA after next year, and not sure what Dawson's next deal will look like (if he's not dealt as part of a package for a goalie). Guess he might take a two-year bridge deal and hope he plays well enough to snag a payday in a few years, because this year hurt his leverage. Yeah not sure what Fitz will do with the goalies in house, but suffice it to say that Allen looks like the only one who will go into next season as part of the plans for the 2024-25 New Jersey Devils. Daws or Schmid are only getting called up if someone gets hurt, and I say "or" because I suspect at least one of them will be gone after this season.
  9. FWIW, the Devils still have a game against the Flyers (Game 81)...hopefully it's both meaningful AND doesn't turn into a three-pointer. And the Flyers already just lost a "soft" game against the Canadiens. They also lost 5-2 to the Caps earlier this month. One thing I've definitely learned from trying to predict based on strength of schedule for MANY sports through the years is that it definitely doesn't always work out as expected. The Flyers are also just 11-14-4 over their last 29 games, and haven't won so much as two in a row over their last 20 (7-9-4). If there's a team that looks like it can absolutely spit the bit against what should be an "easier" part of the schedule, it's them. Doesn't help their cause that Ersson (who's handling much of their goaltending) has an .880 save% since 1/20 (24 GP). Of course, the question is can the Devils actually get THEIR sh!t together enough to be able to take advantage if the Flyers continue to be so meh? We find out starting tonight.
  10. Oh this isn’t me making a case for the Devils finding a way…this is me showing how much of a longshot this really is. They have almost NO margin for error. The fan in me will keep hoping, the realist is me knows their chances are minimal at best.
  11. 3 points out with a big asterisk…Caps will have two games in hand again. They face the Bruins tomorrow night…hopefully that matchup goes as “expected.” If the Devils win tonight, they’ll be four points behind the Flyers with the same number of games played. Considering how this season has gone, that’s about as much as I ever could’ve hoped for.
  12. The Devils effectively are in the same position as the 1987-88 Devils were. As Sean Burke said (paraphrasing): "We were in it, but not REALLY in it. We had to win just about every game." Devils might be able to give up three points absolute max, if they want to make it in. Only realistic berths are Metro3 (Flyers) and WC2 (Caps). Quick math: if the Flyers go 4-4 over their final 8, Devils have to go 7-2 to tie them; due to more wins, the Devils win that tiebreaker. If the Caps go 5-5 over their final 10, the Devils have to go 7-1-1; same deal as the Flyers, all the Devils would have to do is tie them, and they would win the tiebreaker based on wins. Of course, the Red Wings and Isles are currently in better position, but too much time to go to make too much out of that. Basically, Devils need to go 7-1-1, maybe 7-2-0 at absolute worst.
  13. I don't think that's necessarily the case because if the Devils did somehow sneak in and then got absolutely waxed by their first-round opponent, I find it hard to believe that Fitz would just blindly stick with Groan. But the key word in your post is "miracle". We're still about four days away from knowing if any miracles are in the cards. Devils have to beat the Sabres and Pens, and continue to get help. Any conversations about miracle runs could fully be dead by the end of the Pens game.
  14. Devils really just gotta keep winning damned near every game. They got some help tonight but they still need so much more. Montreal beating the Flyers was a serious break for the Devils. Gotta taking fvcking advantage already.
  15. No way Torts get fired. That team was expected to do NOTHING this season. He did a hell of a job just to keep them in it this long.
