The usual.
Devils-opponent 0-0 after the first.
Opponent will get the first two in the second period. The Devils will get one back in the second or the third. The opponent makes it 3-1 at some point in the third period. And then the obligatory empty net goal by the opponent with the Devils pathetic attempt to try and score with the net empty.
Who else is so fvckin tired of this movie?
I guess it's time for us Devils fans to ride off into the sunset on this season.
There's really no reason to watch the rest of these games.
Just come back in October and maybe next season will be better.
Others here will dispute you and say that the Devils still have a bright future, but I'm with you.
They need a competent NHL goalie and the cost will be too much for that.
They will have their goalie, but at what price. If they have to rob Peter to Paul then what's the point?
Imagine being in a playoff race, in a must win game, against a piss poor team........
AND BE OUT OF THE GAME IN THE 1ST PERIOD.
Like I said, you can't make this sh!t up.
A smart coaching staff would have the top 4 offensive players (Hughes, Bratt, Meier and Hischier) on the top two lines, two each, not 3 on one line. PERIOD.
With Haula, Palat, Mercer and Holtz as the interchangeable parts.
But hey, what do I know.
The Sabres might be the team for that final WC card spot and I can see them giving the East’s top seed everything and then some.
I wish it could be the Devils, but they have yet to play with any consistency.
Any competent goaltending will help make a run. Maybe this game was a start.
I wouldn’t lay any money on it though.
We’ve seen this movie before.
Will it have a better ending?
A team that’s ready to make a run will WIN in Arizona, not lose ANOTHER lackluster 4-2 game.
Thru all the crap, they are only 4 points out of a WC spot.
I think Buffalo is the team that’s gonna roar up and catch that last spot, but dammit……
Can the Devils finally get fvckin hot and steal that last spot?
