njbuff Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Good, gutty win. Hopefully they have a little something in the tank for a terrible opponent tomorrow night. i think it's the only thing saving them from an automatic loss tomorrow night...... the opponent. If the Devs were playing any other team tomorrow night after a hard game, we should chalk up an L, but it's Arizona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true...I remember when some were saying that it was important for the Devils not to crash and burn as last season went on, because the bad feelings could filter into this season. Oh well...

Steven M. Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Watching Nico Hischier play hockey for the Devils makes last year feel worth it. Nothing too flashy tonight but he was stellar in our own zone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Devils have the least regulation losses in the NHL. Great stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brown Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 RECAP They had a solid 1st, were flat in the 2nd, and good in the 3rd. Overall it was kind of a choppy game, with no real flow to it. It was definitely a solid defensive effort, but not so much a great game offensively.

EdgeControl Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I'll take that win, but I'd also get on the bus fast... good to have vatanen get a win right off the bat.. he'll get more comfortable each game.. our second line was ok.. hopefully Hynes gives them some time to gel.. Bratt is everywhere.. everywhere he needs to be.. kid creates instant space for himself too.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicomo Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Speaking of the Rags, @SterioDesign needs an avatar change. Just saw Gaten Matarazzo was at the Garden all decked out in Rags gear. This displeases me greatly. Apparently he sang the anthem...weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All things considered, they really didn't take that much advantage of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munichdevil Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 One of these days the Rags will even have to play a road game or two. Their schedule has been super easy so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrasvalg Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) It's better if Rangers get in the playoff, then they don' have a chance to win the draft lottery. I don' want them to get Rasmus Dahlin. That guy is playing really good. Seen a loot of games he played and he is the real deal.

He conveniently ignored the part where I said that Lundqvist won't keep this up...he started slowly and has been pretty hot, but Pavelec not being good has forced the Rangers to start Lundqvist much more than they wanted to...no way was Plan A to start him in 23 out of 26 games to this point. But between starting their season 1-5-2 and Pavelec being Pavelec, they had to get a little desperate. Fortunately for them Henrik has played well for a while and they've recovered, but the Rangers could pay for this down the line...56 games left, 23 home, 33 road.

They're playing exceptionally well. Surely, I hope they're not for real either. Read my above post....I have some solid reasons as to why this won't continue. That's not to say that I think the Rangers are lousy and will sink out of the playoff race, but they're not going to tear it up from now through the end of the season. And I can't rule out that they could eventually move past the Devils, but that would be due more to the Devils slumping for an extended period than the Rangers going crazy. I know I harp on the Rags' early sched, but it was 100% tailor-made for them to get off to a tremendous start...think something along the lines of 17-6-3. They had to ride an aging Lundqvist to just to get to 14-10-2...they came up 5 to 7 points short of what they should've been able to bank to this point. Maybe the Rangers turn out to good enough that they can make up for this when their schedule evens out, and if they had their goaltending combo of two seasons ago and earlier, I'd be much more worried about that happening...I think they have a very tough road from here on out.
