The Eric Boulton hat trick was a huge kick in the balls
Worst part about that is he hasn't even scored 3 goals since
Also, this sends chills through my body every single time I watch it

Today I learned that most of the people I talk to on a daily basis are old as ****
You must buy the Rival ticket packages...
Lmao I'm kidding. But if what you say about every game you attend is a lose, that must be the WORST... Stop going this season so we can make the playoffs
I went to games 4 and 6 in Anaheim. That Paul Kariya goal seemed like it might be one of those immortal moments in NHL history. But then the Devils won game 7 and Kariya signed with Colorado three weeks later.
The games in LA were on weekdays last year and I would have had a tough time getting time off work. Since I already had gone to the Anaheim games, I didn't have as big an urge to go last year.
I would love to know what the average age is of posters who post on here, but I would have to agree that the 1988 playoff run was incredible. Making the playoffs for the 1st time and knocking out the Rangers to boot was awesome. The Devils went 7-0-1 down the stretch to qualify and had to beat the Blackhawks in Chicago on the final night to make the playoffs. They were down 3-2 in the 3rd and tied the game up to send it to overtime. Right before John Maclean scored to send the Devils to the playoffs I was prepared for the Devils to have the pull the goalie in overtime in order to win. Realize that if the Devils had lost 1 game in those final 8 games or lost that overtime tie game in Buffalo the Devils would have failed to qualify and the Rangers would have made the playoffs.
Throw in the fact that Devils came within 1 game of reaching the Stanley Cup Finals in a loss to the Bruins in Boston in game 7.
Except for the Hobey Baker plane crash joke. I have a hard time putting a laughing icon for that.Marty breaking the shutout record against the Penguins was pretty special too. As a former goalie I know how we all savour the shutouts, and racking up as many as Marty has in the NHL is incredible. Even the two clowns they have calling games in Pittsburgh had nothing negative to say for once.
The 08/09 team scored 40 more goals than the 07/08 team. .
There wasn't a huge turnover in personnel between the two seasons, so its sort of odd that one year they were so much better offensively than the other

Oof, going to games 4 AND 6? That's pretty rough. Although, if you've ever been to a Devils win you're still ahead of me.

For best I'll mention one I'm pretty sure hasn't been mentioned yet: Marty 552. In the top 3 for games attended for me for sure.
Worst: Game 2 '06 against the Canes. The ending to that game still pisses me off to this day.[/QUOTE]
Still have a scar on my knuckles after that one, that was some bull **** and a half...
Yeah Claude came back and won another Cup with the Devils in 2000Another to the worst list.
Claude Lemieux trade for Steve Thomas. Steve Thomas was ****in garbage. Hated that guy, and couldn't believe we couldn't have gotten a nice young stud for Lemieux. All we could for the reining Conn Smythe Trophy winner was Steve ****in Thomas? **** that trade hard man. I think I woulda taken Wendel Clark over him, but he went to the Isles in the 3 team trade.
Of course Claude won another Cup and you know what happened to us.

Daneyko managed a rueful smile when asked about a goal he scored that was disallowed. It came on a strange sequence that proved ominous.
It began at 8:40 of the first period, when Thomas fired a slap shot that beat goalie Guy Hebert on the glove side. After the twine billowed and the puck ended up behind the net, it seemed as if the puck must have hit the side of the net.
Play continued for more than a minute, with the Devils scoring at 9:59. Daneyko put the puck over the line with a backhanded shot that was partially stopped but not controlled by the goalie.
The play was a thing of beauty, a skating and passing weave fashioned by Esa Tikkanen and Stephane Richer. But after the goal stopped the clock, the video-review judge looked at the tape of Thomas's shot and decided it had gone in.
That meant that the clock was rolled back and the Daneyko goal nullified. It would have been his second of the season and the 30th of a National Hockey League career that began in 1983-84.
"Story of my life," Daneyko said of the unfortunate ruling.
Too bad some guy with the same name became a coach for us, and well you know the rest.

Too bad that debacle will forever taint his legacy as a player. That's one reason I never want Stevens as head coach.
Best playoffs [Lets play a game and try to identify what event I am referring to!]
