Just touched down in Vegas. LGD.

I think every last one of us was equally and joyfully surprised with what took place yesterday. Sometimes, or even often, the Devils just don't make much sense. They really had no business winning that game against a very good team, on the road, and they gave up the first goal of the game in 15 goddamn seconds; so the game had all the looks and feels of an utter blowout and massive defeat, yet somehow the team rallied and really was firing on all cylinders. Contributions from players who were in slumps or quite literally got their first goal or point as a Devil, and a new goalie who stood on his head for 90% of the game. The big question now is one that we've asked all season long: can the devils win consecutive games? As sad as it is, even simply winning two in a row has eluded this team way too often this year. Tomorrow's game against the Coyotes on paper is as winnable as you'll ever see one. Momentum should be very high right now, yesterday's game had pretty much something for everyone, so I'm really looking to see the team play with the same attitude and effectiveness. Personally, I would start Kahkonen against the Coyotes and give Allen a much deserved two day break, and then start him against what is a better team in Vegas, this way he'll be well rested and eager to build upon his great game from last night, whereby hopefully slamming the door in their face. The fellas need to take it one game at a time at this point. Do not look past what's right in front of you. It's been said ad nauseam that this team is talented. They have as much inmate talent as the top teams in this league. We all wrote them off a week or so ago and by all accounts there's still a lot of reason to think that it's simply too little too late, but the fact of the matter is, they could win the next 16 games if they wanted to. No game on the schedule ahead is already marked as an L. The Oilers won 16 games in a row earlier this season, and the Devils themselves won 13 last season. How bad do they want the playoffs? Let's Go Devils.

I hope MD2020 sees a decent game tomorrow.

Chico: “We could go through the list of teams who won’t make the playoffs who’ve won points from the Devils.”

I'm really digging this college stylw camera angle

That was more of a Jack Hughes goal off of DeSimone's skate but I'll take it lol

Yeah Groan is just about as dopey as Lindy. I already said it but wouldn’t want him or Lindy anywhere near my staff, even as assistants.

Every opposition PK, when they see Luke coming: don’t leave the blue line, he’s just gonna pass it back.

49 times. It’s just pure insanity.

Man Kahkonen’s mask is boring. What ever happened to ones like this?

Have fun tomorrow. I’ve heard nothing but good things about games there. LGD! Let’s get our false playoff hopes up again today!!!

And each center would be paired with the wing with whom he has the best chemistry, but that would make too much sense for this coaching staff. There’s a reason why all of them—except Sarge, of course—deserve to be gone once the season is over.

Losers

Chico does tell it like it is

I don’t feel this way at all. As bad as this season has been, a lot of the difficulties facing the team are correctable with better coaching. Fitz needs to find a starter at goalie as well, but the Devils should be markedly better in ‘24-25.

So do I lol

Haula cut off a pass not intended for him and then promptly made the pass to start the 2-on-1 breakout for the Yotes. Holy sh!t thanks to daws to bailing him out

Most of these guys can’t even take a pass today.

Yep. One of the few guys I’m not mad at.

Tbf that was a nice play by Jack to set it up.

That's a start. I'll take it!

KK was the last guy I would’ve blamed for that period.

Oh they ain’t getting in. No way.

Same.

It’s a beautiful day here in New Jersey. Everyone should really call it a day and enjoy the springtime air.

To their credit, at least any time they give you just the slightest glimmer of hope, they make sure to remind you why you shouldn’t hope for any miracles.

DeSimmone feel goods officially over.

Man I really can’t wait for a real coach to come in here.

I would love a Voorhees styled throwback paint job

If he can stop some pucks while he’s here he can wear Jason Voorhees’ mask for all I care heh heh

An unnecessarily stupid one to boot

Is this the same lines as last game? Idk why he's gotta split up nico and Timo Is this the same lines as last game? Idk why he's gotta split up nico and Timo Is this the same lines as last game? Idk why he's gotta split up nico and Timo Holy sh!t didn't mean to triple post, my phone showed it didn't post. My bad lol

I'm not going to lie, I booked plans already for when the first round would be, flight booked cause I'm not getting screwed by having to pay more for flights waiting for this team to be officially eliminated. If they actually make it and play those days at home I'll eat the flight or get a credit. Prove me wrong. LETS GO DEVILS!!!

This is how my run ended this morning. Didn’t look at the watch until I stopped it… dunno if this is a good sign or foreboding…

Yeah idk what the hell I was looking at…

This checks out…and they get the Pens tomorrow.

I agree with Jack playing with Holtz, but not with him playing with Timo, who has been highly effective playing with Nico the past few weeks.

Happy Birthday fella. Hope they win both days for you and us this weekend.

So I’m hoping for the Wings to beat the islanders in regulation today, since the islanders have fewer games player but both are tied in points. no three point game…

Hey man have a blast out there! Hope you see a win!

LGD!

Given the history of this team, I’m not expecting much, but Devils hockey is better than any other kind of hockey. LGD!

Credit to you for sticking through this one.

Absolutely pathetic

For me, it was more that after getting the big lead, that only Allen was able to prevent the Stars from getting back into the game. They were lucky that Dallas didn’t make it close.

They didn’t really play that well against Dallas, if you think about it. They got caved in for the second half of that game…Allen made a ton of big saves.

Trash

They clearly want to achieve something historic this year despite how this season has gone 😩

Is it 1-0 Coyotes yet?
