"I know our team," Boudreau said. "We've made it before, and we're on the edge of things being really good rather than being really mediocre. I can look at the last eight games and a five percent difference and we'd have won most of those games.
"I think, just looking at their faces after the game the other night and knowing how upset and disappointed they were, I'm saying this is a team that wants it."

New Jersey enters on the second half of back-to-back games following a 5-2 loss in Chicago against the Blackhawks on Thursday.
The Devils' 50 points are second-fewest in the NHL, ahead of only Ottawa.

Lets Go Wild.

I'm trying to keep my tinfoil hat in the closet where it belongs, but


Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how the team responds to the last few days. Booed off the ice after blowing a 3-1 lead in an important game and the coach publicly guarantees playoffs immediately before reports come out that the GM has the green light to trade whoever he wants.

Lose and we're out... So GO WILD!

I have a weird sleep schedule.

 

[Wabit]

I see there is just a ton of interest in tonight's game. I can hardly keep up with how fast this thread is moving.

Thanks for the GDT, Wabit

I'm starting to either get burnt out or maybe just losing interest in the team this year. I'm trying hard not to inject any negativity into the 1st posts. I don't want to get people depressed before the game. The team doesn't need my help for that.

Well at least we can all rule out any NHL roster player being traded before tonight's game... I guess we could make a trade with the Devils.

Making a trade with a team within a day of playing them? Doesn't sound like Fenton.

I want to see him up the ante. Trade during the game at intermission.

Oh man ... that would be awesome!

Press <- to make Fenton walk to the left
Press 'a' to make Fenton answer the phone
Press 'b' to trade Nino for Rask
Press 'c' to hang up

Most of chat was pressing 'c', but due to bad timing, the one person who pressed 'b' after Fenton answered the phone sent the team in a downward spiral.

Game time!

Ready. Set. DRINK!

What board play by Greenway? No stick and using his feet to keep the puck.

 

[Bazeek]

Attaboy, Hunt.

It's pretty funny that it was a defenseman that did what the forwards never seem to do on the powerplay there.

 

[57special]

OK, who had Hunt in the prediction thread?

 

[57special]

Coyle careless

 

[NHL1674]

Thank you, Hunt.

 

[Bazeek]

Eriksson-Ek with the killer instinct.

 

[NHL1674]

Goalie miffed up on that one.
