NJDfan1711 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I know it's a day early, but f*ck it, it seems we're all jonesing for some Devils hockey, and I tend to forget to check here on Saturdays just being busy with normal weekend chores, so here it goes. How will this team respond after a week long break? Logic suggests they should be well rested, and hopefully have had some time to study up on the Flyers, who, amazingly, we haven't faced yet this season. A win is pretty important here if you ask me - on the one hand we're only 6 points ahead of them, so a loss puts them just 4 behind us, while a win would give us space and make it 8 (and yes, I know we have a game in hand). There's enough teams jockeying for position with us at the top of the Conference, we don't need to make it harder by adding these idiots into the equation too. I've said it before but I'll say it again - we have a full and healthy roster, which I think bodes really well for us. This team is talented. We need to put together a nice winning streak here and really show that we're capable of playing above-average hockey for a significant and consistent basis. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I am very much ready for some hockey. Quite a contrast from last season, where I would have appreciated the break from the nightly torture that was Devils hockey. I hope we run straight over them and never look back. And oh yeah, let's have round two between Wood and Simmonds too. LGD 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Sure Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Bye-bye, bye week. 7 games in 13 days before, wait for it...4 days off for the all-star break. And this bye week hardly did much damage in the standings. Devils hockey withdrawals are coming to an end. This team should be ready to bank some wins and points. I just get the feeling this group is really holding itself to standards internally that are high. And they expect to play accordingly. I think some of the mistakes get cleaned up and really think that the 2nd line is going to produce this 2nd half, and that's going to be a huge difference maker. Can not wait for this game, drop the puck already. Edited January 12, 2018 by Jersey Sure 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecoffeecake Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Excited for tomorrow. I'll be at the Temple basketball game at 2:00, a party for the Eagles game immediately after (yes, as much as I hate the NFL, I'm jumping on the bandwagon), and then I'll be heading somewhere very public in red and black to troll Flyers fans. I agree with the sentiment that I definitely have enjoyed these breaks these past handful of seasons, but I'm itching for some hockey right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can not wait for this game, drop the puck already. Seven points behind the Caps with four games in hand, and just one point behind the Blue Jackets with five games in hand. No complaints...sure, would be great if the Devils can re-take the Metro down the line, but it's not imperative that they do...and right now the Caps are just a better team. Agree, been jonesin HARD, this week has felt like a friggin' MONTH. Won't get to see this one tonight, but excited nonetheless.

He's playing...pretty much nothing in the way of glamour numbers lately, and from things I've read about him, it sounds like he really wasn't quite ready to be anywhere near the player the Flyers (and others) think that he'll be in time...they gave him second-line duty earlier on this season, and it was too much to ask of him. Maybe he'll be like Parise was in his first season, when it started to come together for him late. Not that you EVER judge anything by the first year, but man am I glad that Nico's looked much more at home in the NHL right away than Nolan...not because I care that much about what Nolan's done, but more because I think the last thing we needed is feeling like we somehow lost again. It just feels like in what's been a series of right choices, Shero made another when he took Nico. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
