1Guy3Cups Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Just think if Rangers lose to Buffalo, we beat Florida, then beat Rangers were only 2 points back and we get to play them again... I know it sounds crazy but stranger things have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsrule33 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I didn't realize it is between only the Devils and the Rangers. The Devils have a shot at knocking the Rangers out of the playoffs. That is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capo Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Winning anything at this point is a bad idea. Without Kovalchuk they would get swept in the first round. Hell, with him they'll get swept in the first round. The only place the Devils need to win right now is at the draft table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Guy3Cups Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 I heard Kovy might be back Sat... I hear you both about the draft picks.. But I would love to make the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zubie#8 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 No...no no no. Have to pass the Jets and the Sabres. Knock the Rags out of the playoffs and I will be satisfied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That year it was suggested that the Devils tank so as to have the 1st round draft pick who was Mario Lemieux. Tom McVie was incensed at the thought of sandbagging to get the 1st round pick. He said athletes play to win regardless of math and no game is meaningless. At the 1984 draft Pittsburgh drafted Mario Lemieux 1st overall and the Devils drafted Kirk Muller, 2nd overall. I believe athletes play to win regardless of circumstances. Edited April 20, 2013 by StarDew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRedStorm Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 The Rangers scored 5 goals in 3 minutes between the end of the first and beginning of the second. Remember when they couldn't score? If i'm Buffalo, that's the last game Ryan Miller should play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeeter Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Rangers score 14 goals in 24 hours. It took us 11 games to do that. Marty's fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) I didn't realize it is between only the Devils and the Rangers. The Devils have a shot at knocking the Rangers out of the playoffs. That is it. I don't think anyone's knocking them out anyway. They're 6-2-1 since the deadline and look like an 'improved' version of last year's team over the last few weeks. We might win one of the two games if we somehow break the invisible forcefield around the other net for a night, that's it. Winnipeg would have to win all four to pass them if they go 3-1 and the Caps would have to win the other three non-Winnipeg games since both of them have to stay ahead to knock them out. I just hope they get Pittsburgh or Montreal in the first round, who they never match up well with. I'm glad I didn't even bother to check the score last night until it was 6-0, I thought something was wrong with NHL Gamecenter when I did check it Edited April 20, 2013 by NJDevs4978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the only coach to be fired twice by this organization and that speaks volumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maniacdevsdude Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Tanking the season for a higher pick breeds a loser mentality. I'd rather see this team get knocked out of the first round every year than resort to that bullsh*t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
