Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 14 minutes ago, mfitz804 said: Bottom line, its fine to get excited about a good start, but its 4 games. As they mentioned last night, the last time we went 4-0 to start a season was 95-96, and then we promptly missed the playoffs as Stanley Cup Champions from the prior year. I was at that Ottawa game, and I still remember being absolutely shocked they lost and I still hate Ottawa to this day because of it. But, to me, the encouraging thing is HOW we won those games, most notably: 1) The defense has been pretty good, with the possible exception of the Sharks game where they got a TON of shots on goal. Andy Greene hasn't looked awful, Severson either, and aside from a few miscues last night, Mueller has looked pretty good too. 2) The offense is getting it done without any goals from Hall or Hischier. Secondary scoring is something we lacked even last year, its part of the reason Taylor Hall is the MVP, he was doing it alone. 3) KK has looked incredibly solid and is clearly ready to replace Schneider if he can't come back at a high level from injury, or at dead least, to share the workload. 4) We completely dominated the reigning champs, came from behind to beat a 100 point team from last year, and also beat two teams we were "supposed to". 5) Marcus Johansson hasn't had a concussion yet. Of course we haven't played the Bruins. We have a lot of reason to feel encouraged at the moment. But it's nowhere near time to talk about whether we're the "best in the East" or whatever. Not sure if I would've had the Oilers as a "should beat" team...they'd kinda had the Devils' number. Was VERY happy to see the Devils beat them. Palms was scoring quite a bit too last season, especially once he was fully healthy and able to get into a groove (16 goals in his final 33 games of the 2017-18 regular season), but yeah, it definitely thinned out after Hall and Palms (Hischier did score 11 over his final 26 GP). Hard not to be thrilled with the Devils going 4-0-0 with no goals from Nico and Hall for sure. Still got Bratt lying in the weeds too.

It's like "yup, that makes sense, uh huh, wait, wait what? what the fvck is he even trying to say?" It's like if M. Night Shyamalan had tourrette's. Is he playing the character of Mike Peluso? I honestly can't tell. His posts sound like he's been punched in the face a few too many times. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, that's a team we "should beat". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but they're a team that's given the Devils fits at times...Devils were 0-1-3 against them over the past two seasons, which isn't awful-awful, but for whatever the reason the Oilers just had a way of making the Devils look bad. I was very relieved that the Devils not only beat them, but did so rather handily. Always nice to beat those damned "thorn in the side" teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 You guys are 100% correct. And I'm 100% retarded. I had the 2015-16 results flipped. Even odder because I was friggin AT Brodeur Night. Yet another senior moment, which I'm afraid increase as one gets closer to 50.
