2014-2015 Season in Review - Confession Time

If you had showed me that 82nd game lineup after game 3 of the season, I would have been like, "Resting Ryder for the playoffs huh?"

 

Good post by the way. We need more creative stuff like this on the board. I might title this back and forth: "The Neuro-Psychoses of Offense."

PM: (standing there in shock, mouth wide open....finally able to speak) This really is the darkest timeline...

 

 

How long before we go to where the Prudential Center used to be, only to find it replaced with Biff's Pleasure Paradise?

 

I have to admit, I can only imagine the conversation that 2015 me would have with 2012 me just after SCF Game 6 ends. 

 

2015 me:  Hope you enjoyed that Finals run.  Because guess what?  You're not getting back to the playoffs for the next three seasons.  After the lockout ends (yep, another fvcking lockout is really going to happen AGAIN...these guys just think they can take the sport and the people whose livelihoods depend on it hostage anytime they feel like it), Kovy's going to have to be dragged back from Russia to NJ (remember how into it he seemed here after a rough start?), and then he's going to say screw it and retire.  That's right...no more "This is team" Kovy after next season.  Zach's leaving too.  Zajac will get signed to a long-term deal and then immediately stop producing Zajac-like numbers.  And while I'm at it, I've got more good news:  the Rangers...yes, the friggin' RANGERS...will get to the SCF in 2014.  They won't win, but they'll win the President's Trophy in 2015, which they clinch by making us look EXACTLY the way we used to make them look in a beyond brutal home-and-home series...

 

2012 me:  Oh fvck this.  Where's the Jagermeister?  The big bottle?

Agreed, the last three years have been a miserable time to be Devils fans. I wonder how our fanbase will fare if this continues much longer....

The fanbase should be OK.  Every team goes through this.  If the Devils win the lottery and McDavid's here to start next season, that's going to buy the Devils a couple more years of not being a contender.  If they don't, some fans might go away until the team looks like it can make the playoffs again.  But Lou needs a couple of good drafts...part of the problem now is there's no forwards to get excited about, but that can change.  

 

Anyway, don't want to turn this into a "what will Lou do?" thread, as there's enough of those.  But dr33's post goes to show how quickly it can all change...and how stunning it can be when all of the right (or wrong) dominoes start falling...

I remember when we drafted Larsson everyone rejoiced because the organization had no defensive prospects in the system at the time and that was a pressing need. 4 years later and it's the forwards that need to be stocked. Hopefully Lou can turn around the forward corp with smart drafting the way he has the D in recent years.

Here's to hoping!
