MaddDog Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 2nd in east they are sayingand i dont know sounds kinda generous, where will be getting the ability to take the atlantic division owell Jesus, the optimism abounds here . I could use your comment towards just about any team in the Atlantic Division, when you think about it. What's so great about ANY of the teams that makes it WAYYYYYYY better than ALL the rest? It would be nice if some of our fans weren't so friggin' gloomy before the SEASON EVEN STARTS and we see how this team is faring after a couple of months.

shrubbery Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 How much can I trust an article that calls Phil Cole our #1 prospect forgetting guys like Foster, Ahonen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 First in the East (4th in the league), Defense is 1st in the East, Goaltending is 2nd in the East, and Offense is 8th (but will be better) those are some nice predictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias 2662 Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Albany River Rats The Rowdies could be a worst-to-first story, what with COACHING FAILURE BOBBY CARPENTER gone and a huge influx of veteran AHL talent coming in. That list includes hometown center Craig Darby and defenseman Ken Sutton, two of the best in the minors at their positions. Wait a sec, if he was so bad what's he doing as an assistant coach in Jersey?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puck Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Its always nice to read Bill Cements "unbiased" O-pinion. Oh baby, thats the first pubication that I've seen picking the Devs 1st. Does Derek-Purple-Kovy-Dag know about this? He's going to have someones head! (BTW IS It me or is ESPN.com deadly slow today???/) 9 days, 2 hours and 20 minutes until the puck gets dropped in OTTA-WA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like if you do that, then you'll be thrilled if the Devs actually do WELL? I mean.. wtf???? What's the motivation? I don't even bother trying to predict with this team anymore for the simple fact that you never know what you're going to get from game to game, much less year to year. If you're saying "I don't see how we CAN be 1st" that indicates doom and gloom to me, sorry. I sure hope the team does not think like you . (Note: I'm not even saying NJ WILL be #1 since I honestly don't know where they will end up in the division or conference. I think it is up for grabs until we see what all the teams can do in the regular season). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek21 Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Does Derek-Purple-Kovy-Dag know about this? He's going to have someones head! God... all those names. I created a monster . Just call me by my first name, Derek. Thanks. What is the big deal about anyway ?

Beck27 Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 I'd like to know which team in the East has better goaltending than the Devs? Funny how everyone is saying how much the Devs will miss Holik, yet they still rank them at the top of the conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 Devils have the same chance of getting first in the division than the Rag$ or Flyers or Islanders. Noone knows the outcome till the outcome is upon us. I mean you can't go saying that the Devs won't get #1 seed or whatever when it is still the preseason. You can say they will get the #1 seed before the season starts cause that is what you want to see and what you just might very well believe right now. I for one believe they are capable of it right now, now we gotta WAIT and see if they prove me wrong or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they are saying the Habs got better goaltending because their goalie was good for only 1 year of his career. Sure it was a great year, but come on....he could be yet another 1 hit wonder for all we know, mostly likely not but still never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope the team does not think like you .(Note: I'm not even saying NJ WILL be #1 since I honestly don't know where they will end up in the division or conference. I think it is up for grabs until we see what all the teams can do in the regular season). what you see as gloom, i see as question worth bringing up we cant predict success based on what we've done in the past, this is a new team, new coach, new style. im not predicting anything, just that things might not be as easy thats just how i see things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
