They’re still 9 points clear of the second-place team with the same number of games played. Absolutely. Not a tragedy but certainly a wake-up call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I’m upset because we could have won this one. I’m not going to go nuts about it, just going to move on to Ugly Shirt Night on Saturday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even ordered a Hischier. Still hoping to land a Marino GW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still gotta decide on a player and whether it’s going in to be done now or later. Did you reach out to MeiGray to see if Marino’s is spoken for?

And yes reached out to Meigray and gave them a “preferred” list of Marino, Siegs, and Bastian (I have Bastian’s previous RR). I like all three players and they shouldn’t be insanely priced. Obviously only snagging one of those three, with Marino my first choice. Not sure if they’re wearing one set or two.

smelly Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Not sure how it looked on television, but they played cocky and sloppy in this one. Besides five minutes at the start of second, Nashville were the better team, and they deserved to win. Let it be a lesson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralous Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Just finished watching on delay. Tough loss since it felt like we were up 3, not 1 for the entire second half of the game. A little too sloppy. Need to tighten up and take it out on Flyers on Saturday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackchi Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 At least out of division loss. But the way we lost. All in closing or opening seconds of the game weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckbuster Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I don’t care how many wins they have, tonight was a bad loss. There is no sugarcoating it. It’s not the end of the world, because they will be better for it. This loss should ground them a bit. Go Devils! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerzey Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 They didn’t even play a bad game. They just got unlucky at the end and had a pathetic overtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not the end of the world, because they will be better for it. This loss should ground them a bit. Go Devils! I read this and some of the other posts and I wonder exactly what curve the Devils are being graded on now? Players sometimes have off-games or make mistakes, and teams aren't always fully clicking...this was definitely a VERY up-and-down game, no one would dispute that, and sure, at times they looked a bit sloppy. And I definitely get fans being emotional in the moment, especially when it felt like yet another victory was so firmly in the Devils' grasp...and of course, if your team is mired in a slump long enough that you've seen a bunch of crappy games and you know they're simply capable of better, that can make people snap too...doesn't apply here obvioulsy. But overall, when a team wins 16 out of 18 games and banks 91.6% of the max number of points...is it so crazy to just give them a pass, instead of assuming that they're getting cocky or need to be grounded? Or put another way...can a team (one that's still quite young no less) that's done an insane amount of winning this season just be allowed to lose a game? The Devils now have a total of 5 losses (reg/OT/SO)...the team trailing them in the division by 8 points now has 11. The Devils have yet to have any kind of real slump. Since those two brutal losses to start their year, they're friggin' 19-2-1. Did ANY of us even DREAM that the Devils could ever get a run like that this year? Not me. Not telling anyone how to fan because that's not my bag, we all root differently, some are more laid-back and forgiving and some hold their teams to very high standards and some are more emotional than others and some treat every single game as equally winnable entities even though we know that even the best teams often finish the season with at least 20 or so regulation losses. Losses are going to happen...and last night still saw the Devils notch a point. On to the Flyers...if there's ever a team to be ornery against, it's that one. One win in their last 12 GP and they've been outscored 49-24. Get the feeling the Devils come out angry for that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were uneven but that's going to happen...it wasn't one of their better overall efforts but it wasn't awful either and they did mount a hell of a comeback. Like I said in an earlier post, it was not long ago that falling behind 2-0 through the first period probably leads to a lifeless 5-1 loss or something like that. If they just convert one of those breakaway chances, it's a different story, but also fair to point out that even though he gave up 4 goals, VV also made some very big saves too. Sometimes you lose. At least the Devils still got a point out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillon Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Looking at it another way, Devils started the last two games giving up two quick goals, and still skated away with three out of four points. Also the Nashville loss stung, and will provide a learning experience for a young team. Win-win in my book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First place team, last place team, win streak, losing streak — doesn’t matter when you have a 1 goal lead with 8 seconds left. You have to close it out.
