Great win for the Devils tonight. I think this team is showing us how important a coach can be to a team. And a world class goalie.
This team is making me care about wins and losses again, which is great for me as a fan but bad for my mental health. I keep thinking we're due for a string of losses but watching these guys compete every game has given me hope.
This Devils team seems to struggle against bigger teams. Watching last nights game reminded me of the WPG, WAS, and CLB games where you could just see those teams had a size advantage on us.
I'm not trying to kill the guy, but Merrill seemed to play a little soft last night.
I've accepted that this season might not go well for the Devils so I don't get as upset over this team's losses, but I'll always find solace in beating the rags and the flyers. This win was nice.
I don't understand why if the Devils knew they were going to split these games between the goalies that they didn't give Kinkaid the home game vs TOR and let Schneider play tonight.
Anyway, Let's Go Devils!
Here's a fun little rumor I heard about from a kid who lives in Montreal:

Hoeffel was a second round pick I believe. It sucks when you see guys picked that high but make no impact on the team. What was once one of our strengths has really been dismal for a long time now.
I'm not saying that I would want to trade for him, but I was a little bummed to hear we might be on Spezza's no trade list. It sounds more like it's a guess from a different agent. Still, I wonder what the perception of this team is to people who have no affiliation with us.

it was also written in Puck Daddy that Schneider won't sign an extension unless he gets 60 games. i'd give him 70 just so he knows he's the man.
I love Marty with all my heart, but i really wish he'd retire. I think, ultimately, he will when he sees how little interest there is for him.
I thought all season long that CLB would be a tough team to play in the post season. I think they could really give PIT a hard time even though they didn't beat them this season.
While I wish both of these teams would fall of a cliff, since I work with a bunch of douche bag Rags fans I have to pull for the Phailures this series.
I don't see Marty being traded because he would just be a backup for someone else when he could just stay here and be the backup.
fvck the Isles and their goons. I'm just glad no one got hurt.
