Why do you guys even bother parsing the NHL front page? That ain't the first place I'm looking for Devils news before the Devils' own site, TG's Fire and Ice blog or message boards like this. Honestly I think some of you aren't happy unless you have something to complain about

its just that no wonder Kovalchuk is getting so much hate... he's on the main page when he's scoring in his own net, he's on the main page when he's losing the puck on a penalty shot but then he's having a hat trick and 4 pts night and its nowhere to be found

<3 Kovy!

Marty looking like his old self again is good news!

Now just wrap up Zach long term before the deadline and let's bring home the cup!

Hat trick? Is he a magician or something? Psst Pssst Pssst.

We still won't be the first headline on NHL.com when we do.

we could win the cup and they'd make the headline on whoever got the Conn Smyth (from the other team obviously)

[CarpathianForest]

What sucks is that when the Rags win the cup, Lundqvist will get the Conn Smythe; an award Marty doesn't have, but deserved in 2003.

New York is a major market team and a the city is a huge media market. Of course it's going to be the front page news. Plus, the NHL is so out of touch with their fans, they only think NYR, PITT, CHI, and PHI have fans. Why else would they have like six headlines covering whether or not Sid the Kid took ibuprofen or whatever.
The NHL and the moneyed interests shape the season narrative, not teams or fans.

That's not quite it. Ignored isn't the problem. But not having anything on Koby's trick. I remember the other night when the Devs beat the Rangers thanks to Clarky's tying goal, the words "bad bounce" were boldened and led to a review talking about how the Rangers bad luck ruined their win.

That's my point. The Rags are a cash cow so the NHL shapes their season narrative much like Crosby and the Pens.

VICTORY! Our complaining has seemed to pay off and the devils are now on the front page

it's my birthday today so im totally assuming Kovalchuk knew it and did it for me

thanks bud !

HB man

That's taking it too far imo...there just isn't enough regulation on that site. I think whoever is in charge of that review and editing the site can post whatever they want, unedited.

when we hoist the cup they'll have to have us on the front page.

If the Devils beat the Rags in 7 to go to the Cup this year I honestly don't know if I would even be upset if the Devils lost in the finals. I think it would be so unexpected and hilarious.

[ScoreMoreThan3]

God dammit I love getting drunk and getting Rags fans mad on NHL.com lol

[lazer]

when they beat the flyers 6-whatever the nhl headline was "hung-on"

i was worried about this one and still for friday, hiller will get up for it and they play pens tomorrow and pens play flyers sat.

flyers vs sabres thurs...why do their schedules look so much easier

Bite your tongue. They still have, what, another 30+ years to go before they see another Cup.

[LucifersDog]

Elias is such a great player what passing and Kovy with the hat trick just awesome. Marty played a great game.
Looking good with still players to return from injury that will only help the team.

I'm now 1 and 0 at gdt this season haha

Um does anybody realize the Devils are 1 point out of 4th?

Yep, and that should really be the focus at this point. The Devils are 11 points out of first in the Atlantic, and the Rangers have a game-in-hand. It's going to be near impossible to catch them, especially with Lundqvist playing so well. But yes, the Devils are in thick of it, in terms of 4th and possible home ice in the first round. It wasn't so long ago that the Bruins looked so unbeatable, but the Devils are now within two points of them...yes, Boston has two games in hand, but just the fact alone that the Devils are that close to them is a feat in itself.

Pretty amazing for a team that was just 12-12-1 after its first 25 GP, and had just 6 regulation wins in that stretch. They've since gone 20-8-3, with 14 of those wins coming in regulation.

Just out of curiosity, what could you possibly say that could piss off Ranger fans? Considering the way the Rangers have played and where they are in the standings, as a Devil fan I'd think it would be wiser to lay low.

[NJDevs4978]

I'd almost rather decline home ice in the first round after all the home playoff disasters at the Rock (3-7 overall record) thank you very much

I do get a good feeling about this team that if they get in, they shouldn't be a one-and-done this year though. Both talentwise and chemistry-wise.
