Oh well…one team came fully ready to play and the other one is coached by Lindy Ruff.

Great. So after the Rags beat Columbus tomorrow, they’ll have a chance to tie us on Thursday. 

Feels like the lead was just like 7 and it has really slipped away. They gotta start playing 60 min, it's been a problem since Dec and that's on Lindy.

Yeah this team is too good for Lindy.  He’s not up to this.

Ruff has a handful of games to get this team into playoff shape.  Right now they just aren't as sharp as they're going to need to be.  Things we were doing well at the early part of the season:  tight defense, few turnovers, limited penalties (sort of), sharp passes, good decisions with the puck.  Many if not all of those things have taken a step backwards recently.  I'm not quite sure why.  This team needs a stern talking to.  They are young, and in rude a rude awakening if they don't correct it now.  I have faith and there's still time.

There’s still 8 games left.  Also the 2000 team hardly went into the playoffs on a surge…not saying the Devils are Cup contenders this year, just that how a team goes in isn’t always a great indicator how they’re going to perform come playoff time.

If the Devils are scuffling as they go in I’ll be more concerned.  They do still have time to tighten things up.

They will be facing their first round opponent on Thursday. Great time to wake up.

Whatever, it is what it is, but this is what I've meant when I've said they're better than how they've played at times. The mental lapses and not coming ready to play when the game starts then relying on pure talent to have to try and claw games back isn't how it should have to be.

It was legit a talking point for like 3 weeks after the Allstar break that teams were going to come out hungry and NJ would have to match that. It's not like they don't know teams like NYI, FLA, BUF were going to bring their A game. It's just disappointing they only managed one good period.

It's on Lindy.

Why even give them that goal? And ofc it had to be Parise.

FVCK YOU LINDY 

He seems very eager to prove how woefully unqualified he is to lead this team to the next levels.  He’s just old and dumb.

Buckle in guys, Blackwood is absolutely starting Thursday vs the rangers. 

Hopefully this is the end of this stupid 11/7 nonsense. 

Of course I was sh!tting on Palat today and he goes and puts up another goose egg and then turns the puck over for the 3rd Islanders goal. 

Get Boqvist back in the lineup, he never should have been taken out anyway.

Am I still crazy for thinking Ruff has 'lost' the room?

There still is no evidence of that.  They played hard in that third.  There’s been no quit in that team all year.

If the argument is that he’s not a good head coach and his lack of ability in that department is going to hurt this team at times…no fight from me.
