mfitz804 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 The wave is corny but whatever, the fans were excited and into the game, I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 They are making it interesting, would have been better to have started playing like this before late February but it's been fun to watch. It's too little too late for sure. Just too hard to make up ground unless you're winning damned near every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpathianForest Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 They're a bad team beating worse teams right now. The Canucks game is the only outlier in the win streak. I kind of dread where they will finish now that they're playing better, but in no way good enough to make the playoffs. They may be picking outside of the top ten. I don't know how many NHL-ready or impact players will be available by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zubie#8 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Schneider Merril Larsson Greene Larsson Zajac Tootoo and Cammalleri have been playing very well these last two weeks. Jagr can gtfo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 TOOToo has been great, I like him with Zajac and Cammalleri. Plus he is my 7 year old daughter's favorite (because she likes wearing a tutu, which she thinks he should wear when he plays). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's becoming a lot of people's favorite lol, I saw at least three Tootoo jerseys at the Rock tonight not including someone else who was buying one at the Devils Den.

Neb00rs Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Very happy be won. But oh the irony, in having to wait long enough to have this weak of a schedule to finally win four in a row. Carpe diem boys, carpe diem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and then there's that thing we're we are a bad team being mercilessly outshot another terrible team. But these last few months has been Cory Schneider vs. mathematics.

Neb00rs Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Impossible not to be happy for Cory and Cam. Cory might actually pull a 30 win season out of this pile of junk. Wow. Also, don't look now, but Gomez with 5 points in his last 6. That's very good for this team. Edit: Oh and Larsson with 5 assists in his last 3 games. Night and day.

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I really hope we retain Gomez and Tootoo. Gomez seems to have found some of that old Devils magic. And Tootoo is one of those players who brings it every game and gives you a serviceable 4th line with grit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I won't because it's Lou, but still... I don't think the Devils should bring Gomer back next year. He's been a nice story for sure, but I think this is a short story, not a novel. We know what a long shot this is...Devils are down by 8 points with 22 games remaining, and Boston has a game in hand. The Bruins can basically squelch any talk about the Devils making a run by winning their next two games (the second of which is against the Devils). If the Devils lose to the Flames, then the coffin nails have been hammered in. The absolute ONLY way I can even remotely defend Lou not dealing off assets at the deadline (and it will still be very hard to do it) is if the Devils win all three of their games prior to 3/2, and Boston loses all of theirs. That would put the Devils two points behind the Bruins, with Boston still having a game in hand. But that's also ignoring the Flyers and Panthers. And I still think even if the Bruins do lose out prior to the deadline, and the Devils win out, it's just too risky...if Lou keeps the team almost completely intact, then to me he got bamboozled by an extremely favorable part of the schedule. I still feel that he should be thinking beyond this season. And if the Devils lose to the Bruins, I think Lou should abandon any hope of making the playoffs. Even if he doesn't do it publicly.

Interested as to why you wouldn't bring Gomez back? I would imagine he can be had on a low $ low term contract. He brings a lot of things the team lacks. He slots into most lines and can play special teams. What is not to like? He is a low risk high reward player at this stage. And I think the way his career has gone has changed his outlook on the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Devils just bring out the best in him. But I'd still be wary...I just feel like he's a one-season wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Guys i'd keep for sure: Zajac Henrique Josefson Gomez Elias Tootoo Bernier Cammalleri Gionta (but even keeping those guys, thats 9 players that are not really skilled enough as a group) Severson Larsson Greene Merril Gelinas Harrold Schneider Kinkaid Guys i'd want to see gone (not that i dont like them but it's just time to move on) Jagr Salvador Havlat Ryder Clowe Ruutu Zubrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to trade Jagr no matter what happens at this point. He's playing passionless hockey right now, and seems like he's already checked out. Get what you can for him, and move on. I just think he's a short-term gain. I have a feeling he won't do this again next season. Could I be wrong on that? Sure. Maybe the Devils just bring out the best in him. But I'd still be wary...I just feel like he's a one-season wonder. Keep him on an incentive laden 1 year deal, and I wouldn't mind having him back. He rushes the puck well and brings a dimension none of our other centers have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he could easily be sent down for the sort of $ he would command. Also he is leading the team in points per game. I know that doesn't show the full picture but that is quite an achievement giving where he started the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Guys i'd want to see gone (not that i dont like them but it's just time to move on) Jagr Salvador Havlat Ryder Clowe Ruutu Zubrus I forgot Salvador, Havlat, Ryder and Clowe were still on this team. I rewatched this game, Larsson is creating a scary amount of prime scoring chances with his passing. AND he is still shooting also. He has been a totally different player. I was all about getting rid of him at the start of the season. No way I think they should now. I just think he's a short-term gain. I have a feeling he won't do this again next season. Could I be wrong on that? Sure. Maybe the Devils just bring out the best in him. But I'd still be wary...I just feel like he's a one-season wonder. If he's not looking for a fortune, I would bring him back. He's been much better than anticipated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
