CarpathianForest Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 "I really felt we played our game and the bounces just didn't go our way. Gionta had 2 assists and Bryce looked great. Would've liked to have seen more out of Larsson though." You forget, "Well I'm hoping we can get Tootoo in there on Thursday to replace Josefson."

devils102 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I think we underestimated the loss of Volchenkov. I was going to say Fayne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneax Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) I was going to say Fayne. This, only it's not suprising to me, I always thought Fayne was great. Edited October 29, 2014 by Sneax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brown Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I was going to say Fayne. Him too. But Larsson should have been the guy to replace Fayne. We need a real shutdown defensemen with decent puck skills. Tyler Myers is available. Lou should inquire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Larsson should unquestionably be in next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brown Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Larsson should unquestionably be in next game. And hopefully get more than 12 minutes of ice time. That's assuming he's still up for playing. Not every player handles being mistreated the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv4Life Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I was going to say Fayne. Speaking of Fayne his Oilers have a 4-game winning streak. When was the last time we had one? Oh and the Oilers have 53 wins since 2012. The Devils have 58. Yet I'm the idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hystyk28 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 PK starts down the opposing end of the rink. The team is way too passive and entries are way too easy and opposing players go fairly unaccosted til 10 feet inside the blueline. This team is the slowest in the league. The only time they mount pressure is when the D joins the rush. This group of forwards aren't very good. Look for Elias on a milk container near you soon. It doesn't help the team plays with 2 non-NHL players in Gio and that embarrassment Sal. How did he get walked so easily on that play he gad to rag the guy down??? Just terrible.

William D'Aquila Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Unlike the rest of the board, I believe we are really close to being a topflight team. The Devils have real offensive depth, and as a result they can score consistently. The defensive mistakes thus far are to be expected. Everyone called for the kids for 2+ years, and now you have have the reality of the situation. The one encouraging aspect of this is that they should in theory get better. Pete DeBoer's system is fine, and though he has flaws as a coach, he is not the reason we lost this game. Cory needs to be a lot more consistent as our young dmen are going to make gaffs. On another note, I was really impressed with YaYo tonight. I am seeing flashes of the player from 2 to 3 years again. If he finally winds up developing the Devils will have center depth that rivals the NHL's elite teams. Please show patience.

NJDevs4978 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 You all make me laugh, Pete's not going anywhere. You all know this. It's not him... At what point does it get to be him? After we miss the playoffs five years in a row? Six? Good god, even Rex Ryan doesn't get as much mileage out of 'two' deep playoff runs that Pete does out of one. I was going to say Fayne. And yet our brilliant coach was scratching Fayne too the second half of the lockout season and the first part of last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William D'Aquila Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 You have some weird crush on me, but yes I know what that means. I'd you're satisfied with 1 cup run and 4 years on the other two ends of no-playoffs, youre a fvcking idiot. "Good is not good where better is expected" Do you though? I have seen no evidence that Pete DeBoer has lost team. The Devils are having more breakdowns than last year, but that is to be expected considering the make up of the d core. There are two scenarios when it comes to you. Scenario A - you are at best 21 years old, and can only remember the golden years where the Devils were perennial challengers. Or Scenario B - you never played the sport, and as a result have no idea what you are talking about. Considering the utter rubbish you spout it is like a combination of both.

grcenter47 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 the team is average at best. we have to rebuild. changing the coach isn't going to make things better. scotty bowman or al arbour couldn't resurrect this team. if we bench cory, we complain about scott. if we bench scott, we complain about keith. we bench keith, we complain about wedgewood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I agree they are close to being a top-flight team, but their scoring depth is refreshing compared to last year. And you're right about the young D. If we could play better defensively this team could make some noise. I don't think we're watching a bottom-feeder. As I said in an earlier post, in my opinion they're a bubble team. Unfortunately that means when a few things aren't working they get exposed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is a bubble team, why are we getting worked up over this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
