Quotes via Andrew Gross http://www.northjersey.com/blog/fireandice/:





Ben Lovejoy on the 3rd period of the 5-1 win:

“The third period wasn’t perfect,” defenseman Ben Lovejoy said. “We spent too much time in our end, maybe a little bit too passive but that stuff happens when you have a lead. We got some outstanding goaltending tonight and I thought our forwards did a great job on the forecheck and were smart going through the neutral zone with the puck and it was a team effort.”

Seth Helgeson on the 3rd period:

“We talked about that. What we did last night didn’t work out for us. At times, I think we panicked a little bit but we rebounded. We had a few shifts where we panicked or sat back. After that, we had a few big shifts that kind of changed the momentum a little bit. All around, I think we could be happy about the way we played today.”

Cory Schneider on the goaltender interference challenge:

“It’s more what I felt,” Schneider said. “I went to push to get to the post and I ran into something that knocked me back a little bit. It knocked my leg back and I wasn’t able to get there.”

“He came into the crease on his own, he didn’t get pushed,” Schneider said. “Would I have gotten to the puck? It’s hard to say. It would’ve been close but I would’ve been closer than it was.”

Please, for the love of god, WIN!!!!!!!!!!!

PLAY. ****ING. HARDER.

Oh god haha.

Angry Palmieri and amazing gasm cracked me up

Palms has been salty and sandy for so many games in a row I lost count now. Love when he plays with that edge, far closer to the guy we saw all last season. He's like venom under the skin of the opposition but without being a total SOB with how he achieves it, and more importantly, he plays well when he plays angry.

 

[JK3]

Haha nice one MD, keep it going.

 

[Belizarius]

Time for another Jacob 'Sniper' Josefson goal.
And Seth 'Norris' Helgeson goal.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Seriously, if someone has the ability to add Josefson's face to the Like a Boss meme on all the pictures, that'd be amazing.

Appreciate the feedback, always enjoyed this meme for no good reason at all.

#Devils starters: Schneider, Greene-Lovejoy, Zacha-Josefson-Noesen


Seems like Hynes is going with our top line to open the game

 

[Emperoreddy]

What is with this new excuse for Hynes juggling the lines all year. "Guys don't play together like they used to"

Shut up Steve.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

I want Spiderman memes!

 

[Zippy316]

Hynes' tie game is weak tonight.

 

[EXTRAS]

Noesen and wood and Hall will get goals.

 

[Bleedred]

**** Foligno

More offspring from that TRASH suck and worthless assistant coach we had.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Strong shift by the 4th line.
