Oh, I'm as optimistic as they come! I 100% agree with his post!

Also, can't argue with that! Daws makes me feel way more comfortable, I hope he plays Sunday.

Daws having potential is good news, though I am high on him, I prefer he begins as Utica's starter next year.

We need to get a steady goalie to play next to a hopefully healthy Blackwood next year

Anyone who didn't like that game sucks.

Couldn't be prouder of this team from top to bottom.

I hate the f***ing rangers. Lots of learning to do, lots of growing up. I'm totally enamored with just about everybody's game.

Graves is a man.
Siegs is nails.
Nico will be a horse.
Hughes is a superstar.
Loved Sharas game.
Loved Mercers game.
Loved Dawes game.
Absolutely loved McLeod's game.
Liked vesey and Bastian.
Liked how Subban handled himself.

Playoff game.

This is the first legitimate glimmer of hope in 40 games.

I'm not talking about putting up 7 against rookie goaltenders.

This was a game in which a team grows up and sees what is necessary to win in this league.

f*** the Rangers. f*** them on their f***ing asses. We. Are. Coming. up.

Made me cry. Awesome post.

I will keep saying it, but Miles Wood would do a ton for this team. Bring that jam to the third line and score too.

He is really missed. I am either later this year or next year Zetterlund gets a real look. Kid plays with some jam

A healthy Wood on the 3rd line makes a huge difference. Zetterlund plays with snarl, too and isn’t scared of going to the net. I feel adding these two to the lineup makes a huge difference in that regard. But, also am pretty sure Fitzgerald will be going hard after more jam on the trade market and/or free agency. The core is here and just need to build around it.

They didn't do a better job of rebuilding. They got 2 franchise level players for free and they wanted to come to NY. Any team could have success doing that.

Take Fox and Panarin off that team and without Shesterkin (who I acknowledged), they are bottom 5 team easily still.

They don't even play that much better then us, if at all, at 5 on 5. Almost all of their success is on Igor this year with Bread and their PP coming in second.

70% of the difference is they have Igor who will win the Vezina, with free guys like Bread and Fox (though we shouldn't bitch too much because we got Dougie to sign here), while we have been marching a parade of broken and AHL goalies out there with a PP that is run poorly.

Might even win the Hart to be honest. He's been that good.

Agree 100%. You can see the vision that Fitz has I believe.

Some great pieces coming up as well.

I would try to get draft picks for Tatar and Johnsson and give the kids like Zetterlund and Thompson a taste now. Holtz is the guy I keep in the AHL -- let him continue to dominate down there and hone his 200-foot game, then start him fresh in camp next year like Mercer this year.

Yes, in retrospect the Devils probably should have taken Miller with that #17 overall pick in 2018.

Brilliant take. Take 3 elite players off the team and they would be way worse. Who would have thought? Why stop there? Take Mika and Kreider off as well and they would win the lottery.

This is actually it. Why do you think I call our Yegor, Yegor? I am not spelling that.

Muk is going to need a nickname too. Not spelling his last name out

I'm looking forward to Steve and Dano trying to pronounce his name.:laugh:

Cangi might need to borrow a Docism and refer to him as "the big defenseman from Russia" like Doc always referred to Colin White as "the big defenseman from Nova Scotia".

This was total cringe and an absolute jinx before the game tonight (especially with Bratt stuck in the wilderness trying to find his way back to civilization along with Jack, from what we witnessed) :



How about Devils Twitter wait until AFTER the game to make tweets like this? :confused::confused::confused:

It made Devils Twitter look dumb now.


I'm sure they did it because The Batman premiered today.
