smelly Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) Just abused. This is NOT a repeat of Rangers Games 1 and 2. This is a whole lot worse. And telling. Edited May 6, 2023 by smelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicomo Posted May 6, 2023 Author Share Posted May 6, 2023 14 minutes ago, slasher72 said: The depressing thing is their star players are all young so this ass kicking whenever we meet in the playoffs might continue for a while. Not sure if I’d really call any of them “stars” but Slavin is arguably their best player and he’s already 29. Their defense is kind of on the older side overall. Burns is 38. Pesce is 28. Ghost is 30. Etc. They’ve got some really good young players at forward, but they’re aren’t really in window just now opening mode. 8 minutes ago, NJDevils1214 said: 4th line + Jack. All that survived the regular season lol. We used to be a team that could roll all 4 lines. Haula and Palat were both largely fantastic against the Rags. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDfan1711 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Careless giveaway by Nico. He said all the right things after Game 7 against the Rags and has backed up none of it with his play on the ice so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack carries into a triangle of opponents at blue line, backs up slightly, has no options, turns over puck. rinse, repeat for 18 power plays now. If you think about our 9 playoff games, in none of them, even in game 7, the entire team played their best. We've been carried by a few players in every game. Now we are playing against a team, not Kreider and Shesterkin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDfan1711 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Two bad breakdowns on those last two goals, but this period actually the Devils have looked better than the first two, and at least showed some life. Let's see what they do at home on Sunday and if they have some pride. They did against the Rags last series. No reason to think they can't do it again.

Nicomo Posted May 6, 2023 Author Share Posted May 6, 2023 Can’t be afraid to play a rookie dman when you’re getting absolutely blown out in all your losses. We need Luke’s offense. Make the fvcking move Lindy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Dan 56 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 It’s fascinating this playoff year that the Devils either win or get absolutely destroyed. Just now, Nicomo said: Can’t be afraid to play a rookie dman when you’re getting absolutely blown out in all your losses. We need Luke’s offense. Make the fvcking move Lindy. Exactly. What’s the worst that happens? We lose by 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if we changed the script for the PP, we’d build momentum instead of squandering or literally handing it to the other team. But they keep doing the exact. Same. Thing. Every. Single.

eaglejelly Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I saw the Devils blow out the Blue Jackets in one of the last games of the season. I didn't think I'd see the Devils on the other side of such a game so soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDfan1711 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Why is the stadium so empty right now? Are those all Devils fans that left early? I don't get it...who the hell leaves a home playoff game early when your team is up 6-1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Not much to say about this one. Feels like it’s time to take the shrink wrap off Luke. Why not? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicomo Posted May 6, 2023 Author Share Posted May 6, 2023 No matter what happens the rest of this series I’m just going to remind myself that they beat the Rags in the playoffs, set the franchise record for wins, and that Jack broke Patty’s points record. There was plenty to feel good about. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Well the good thing is most of the pain wears off by the end of the game when you were never really in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
