Neb00rs Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Watch us somehow miss it by a point. After a shootout loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) I cant see us getting the wins we need to have a shot. I think we likely go 5-3-2 the rest of the season if we are lucky. Since i said this in another thread we have gone 1-0-3. We need 4 wins to even get close to a mediocre record to end the season. In the last six games i can see this. 1) Washington - Loss 2) Carolina - Win 3) Calgary-Loss 4) Ottawa-OT 5) Islanders-Win 6) Boston- Win That gives us 4-2-4 over the last 10 games of the season since my prediction. I see us finishing on about 87 points. This basically means we need Detroit, Columbus Toronto and Washington to go winless for the rest of the season for us to make it. It’s just not happening. The Devils needed two of those OT losses to be W's in the last four games to make it, and needed considerable support. They got the support but couldn’t hold up their end of the deal.

NJDfan1711 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 In the last six games i can see this. 1) Washington - Loss 2) Carolina - Win 3) Calgary-Loss 4) Ottawa-OT 5) Islanders-Win 6) Boston- Win I think it'll be: 1) Wsh - Win 2) Car - Loss 3) Cgy - Win 4) Ott - OT Loss 5) Islanders - Win 6) Boston - Win And it probably won't matter that we win the last two games of the year because we won't get the help we need and Detroit/Columbus will probably only lose 2 or maybe 3 games at most the rest of the way, and we really need them to lose 4 or 5. 6-0-0: 91.4% 5-0-1: 74.8% 5-1-0: 56.9% 4-0-2: 52.5% I assume, since it's 1 fewer point, that a 4-1-1 record would be right around 50% or maybe just below. That's actually how I think we'll finish the year, and I have a feeling we will miss the playoffs by 1 or 2 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsfan118 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Oh well... I STILL wish we had sold off some vets. Zidlicky especially. He did little besides turn the puck over in this stretch run, unless I'm remembering things incorrectly.

He did little besides turn the puck over in this stretch run, unless I'm remembering things incorrectly. yeah, but there was a playoff chance, so again Lou bet on the season. I'm ok with it. we still have some parts which can be moved (albeit, a bit more devalued now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 The worst part about the existence of this thread and all the energy put into it is that most of us were pretty clear from the start that we didn't buy that 91 points would cut it.

That's what was hilarious, MB was sooooo adamant that there's no way eight teams get to 92 when it's happened almost every year since the lockout, and that was BEFORE adding Detroit and Columbus.

Neb00rs Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Furthermore, we also all stated how the Devils had given us no reason to expect they would turn it around. Even though they had a decent point streak, they still failed to win 3 straight games down the stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need 4 wins to even get close to a mediocre record to end the season.

The Devils needed two of those OT losses to be W's in the last four games to make it, and needed considerable support. They got the support but couldn’t hold up their end of the deal. So the Devils actually went 4-1-5 over their last 10 to give them 88 points. pretty much as i expected. This team was a tease all season. It wasnt a good team, it wasnt a bad team, just completley average. funny that out of the three teams above us when we were still in contention, the leafs pretty much did go winless for the remainder of their schedule. 2-8-0 is a horrible way to finish the season. One statistic that stood out for me looking at the end of season results was that the Caps had 21 shootouts on the season!! going 10-11. That is a quater of their games ending in a shootout. No one else even comes close to that many shootouts. Edited April 14, 2014 by Chimaira_Devil_#9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 In the end it wound up taking 93 to make the playoffs. So much for 91. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) 93 was so totally doable too about 10 games ago. It wasn’t doable!!! It was not impossible, and at the same time probably improbable!! Why doesn’t anyone get that!!!! Here let me explain it with this chart: Impossibly Probable: 23% Probably improbable: 70% Probably Impossible : 7% Doably impossibly probable: 4 Ducks Unreasonably certain: 99% Improbably possibly uncertain guaranteed: 3 1/2 lbs.
