[jagknife 2,217]

fvck the tank just for one night. Don't care they're just as crappy as us, its always nice to beat them.

Time to nut up or shut up!

[Colorado Rockies 1976 4,632]

If I wasn't headed to Florida that day, I would've been at that game for sure.  My daughter badly wants to go to a Devils - Rangers game...she knows how much I despise them, every last thing about them.

fvck those Blowshirts!

LGMFD!

I want Blackwood in net, Hall back from his missing leg or whatever happened, and I want to put a touchdown on the board against these clowns. And then go for 2.

[devlman 542]

Screw the league for making the first meeting a meaningless game a few hours from FEBRUARY.

I had a dream last night we beat the Rangers 9-0.

Hall was playing in that dream, so there's that as well.....

The NHL schedule is beyond moronic. It's January 30th and we're playing the Rags for the 1st time? The NHL should've never listened to those crybaby teams that complained about their travel relative to other franchises. This is a terrible schedule for building and maintaining rivalries

Agreed. There’s no way we should be playing our first game of the season against the Rags on January 31.

Yeah its pretty ridiculous. Of course, if we had a good first half and had all those games remaining against a crap opponent, we'd be singing a different tune, now wouldn't we.

Not sure but I think 3 or 4.

I'll take that score minus 3 or 4. Zacha with the hat trick and Andy Greene with a goal and 5 assists.

To paraphrase Smokey Robinson, I second that Emoji.

Not really understanding why in the past month it's become the "it" thing to hate on Kinkaid.  Why?  We always knew he was a just backup who had a solid run when Cory was out and he would go back to mediocrity.  That's what happens when you have no fvcking D-men worth anything.

He's a despicable and petty human being who gets worshipped by a very vocal group of supporters who only love him because they hate Schneider.

That's why.  fvck him and get back to me when his own players score on him 3 times in a single game.

I don't hate him, I think he's a tremendous goofball and he's played like crap lately. Would I rather see Blackwood and see what he's got at the NHL level? Yes I would. Do I hate him? Nah. I'd even consider getting his jersey just based on his likability and Chipotle stuff, if he was going to be back next year, which I do not foresee.

Thats what the first two rounds of the playoffs are for, according to Bettman, forgetting that over half of a division can get left out of the post season dance.

As DevsMan said, he's 1/2 of the most polarizing part of our team and he's beyond worshiped by very vocal people.

I also hate his pettiness and that's why I counter him with being just as petty.

Sure, he likes to have fun and be a goof, but he is absolutely low hanging fruit to bear the brunt of the scorn. Plus when you get out played by a guy who started the year in the ECHL and you regress as badly as he did, it wont go without some blowback.

I also don't think many were expecting the fall back to earth to be as dramatic as it was. I expected a slow decline but an improvement of what he was due to his success last season. The playoffs it seems, however, gave us a more clear indication of it was simply a long stretch of overachieving.

 

I'm also on the fence about the whole defense thing. Like they weren't this atrocious last year and our big loss as Moore, which should have hurt the offensive side of the defense more than anything. But it seems as though, with a one or two exceptions, our defense took a collective sh!t this year. I wont start beating my usual dead horse when it comes to the back end, I just look forward to it being addressed over the summer.
