Only good thing about Jay Leach is Kathryn Tappen.

No one would score from the other team either.  The Devils team of Zubruses would just endlessly cycle the puck in the other team's offensive zone.

The tellingness of that quote wasn't just in the fact that I like Zubrus and have since before he was a Devil, it's that the organization clearly recognizes this is one thing that they don't have AT ALL in their system.  Not only do they not have it, they haven't had it for ages, which is probably part of why Zubrus was offered a 6 year contract - they didn't have it in 2007 either.

My sadness just built up as watched 1 goal, 2 goals, 3 goals scored in a 5 minute 5 on 4...  the rest of the game I was just shellshocked...   breaking the shutout wasn't any condolence.   And with 10mins left... I just wanted the final horn to blow...  and I think they did too.

I lost all of my sadness/anger when the linesman took down Volchenkov before the 4th goal.  I knew right there it was not meant to be and it just became comical.  It became even more comical when the refs gave Carter and Clarkson 10 minute misconducts after roughing minors.  The game itself was a joke, the refs treated it like an unimportant regular season game.  How can you hand out misconduct penalties just in order to control the game, it's the Stanley Cup!  I had more appreciation for this team after it was all over.

It had to be said, I think the "we weren't even supposed to be here" or "this season is already a win" mentalities are getting to everyone's head. Sure it's a decent way to look at this but when you're two games away from being the best in the sport, then you roll over and your first reaction is to hit the clubs?

Within a couple of days you have players moving back with their familes in different states, and in different COUNTRIES. These guys wont be around each other again until training camp  and some of these guys will never see each other again, ever. This is a tightly knit group of guys and I do not have any problems with this whatsoever.

Feel bad for the guy, I really do.

I think he means the old school logo. Like, the current one is just a devil-snake holding his hand on his leg. Didn't we used to have a logo that was an N and a J?

Also, if this theory is true, what would the N and the J stand for? N, I'd presume, stands for Nasty. Devils, in tale, were always said to be Nasty creatures. And the J? I'm thinking.. you know, I don't really know.

Help??

OH MY GOD. I finally understand why theres a NJ in our logo and why Lou threw the jar of jam.

....we are obviously named after Nectarine Jam!  Lou was disgusted on how we were playing and that is why and the ONLY reason why Lou threw the jar of jam. That broken jar of jam represented the team.

I am so happy we all know why the NJ in in the logo now. Thank God!

And you say no one cares about the Devils? I believe the devils ranked in the top 5 in average road attendance 5 out of the last 6 years if I am correct. So when you have opposing home teams fill up their building to see their team play the Devils, they dont care right?

Nooooooo.

My lame attempt lol

I was happy to read this from a rangers fan on hfboards

"Ilya Kovalchuk is the most underappreciated athlete I've ever witnessed. Everyone is getting on Biron for looking like a scared 2nd grader in the shootout. Well what about the dozen times where he danced around our guys in the neutral zone and we couldn't even lay a finger on him. One time that stands out he ABUSED Feds and Prust and then set up a guy in the slot. He made our whole team look like a pee wee team. He always does. He's got the puck carrying ability of Gomez, the speed of Hagelin, and the shot of Nedved. Sick sick player. I am very jealous."
