RunninWithTheDevil Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I think it's important we start tempering our expectations here a little bit. I'm excited they're doing well and I'm not trying to be a debbie downer at all; this team has shown they have what it takes to compete, but I still don't think we're quite 'there' yet but goddamn it if I'm not excited for Devil's hockey again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the team over most of the last 9 games has been competitive (and at times dominating) and entertaining. It feels like they can battle for a playoff spot. Good enough for me, as the window to try to win something is just starting to open. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm just a beaten puppy, the losing has become a part of my fandom. Edited November 4, 2022 by RunninWithTheDevil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Looking at past schedules February 2013 was the last time they won 5 straight in regulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even bad teams can go on little bursts when that happens. If anything I expect those numbers to continue to get better (as they both have after a slow start). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilzz89 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I feel like he's playing scared, very timid. He's playing better without the puck for sure aside from faceoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd describe him as quieter than usual, far from "not good at all". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLeod41-20 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 McLeod being unspectacular but getting some points and not doing McLeod things will hopefully continue and prevent the 4th line sh!tting the bed and costing the win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagknife Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I was able to watch exactly 1 second period shift last night when it was 3-1. It was the bad one where Seves-Graves kept turning the puck over in the defensive zone, then wood and co had a chance to set up shop in the offensive zone only for Wood to use no finesse with the puck and smacked it right back out trying to wheel behind the net. I thought, well can’t win them, maybe they can get another or force OT… but deep down was worried Mc and the German would take over… before I closed the phone and passed out. When I woke up 6 hours later, holy sh!t, they fvcking won! LMFGD!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 Marino now has 6 points in his last 6 games (1 G and 5 A) and is a +10 in those games. He’s only 11 games into his Devils career but man what a hell of start he’s off to. He plays like a seasoned star vet who seems to know exactly what he’s supposed to do and where he’s supposed to be damned near all the time. He’s been such a joy to watch…hopefully he’s one of the guys who goes to a new team (think John LeClair with the Flyers) and suddenly and immediately exceeds even the most optimistic expectations. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Dan 56 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I love that they are playing like this and Hughes doesn’t even look like he’s gotten started yet. I also love that Hughes hasn’t found his game yet this year and still has 10 points in 11 games. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all of the offense we’ve been bringing, I would have thought it would mean Jack was at like 18-20 points by now, but he’s not. He’s one point short of PPG on the season. Loser.
