gee, dee tee

 

[AfroThunder396]

I don't want to get my hopes up, but as far as I'm concerned this is all house money. f*** it, go big or go home.

 

[Based Anime Fan]

Only Devils fan in my office.

Toronto fans want Tampa to loose. Edmonton fans want Devils to win.

We are all Devils fans in my office.

 

[New Jersey]

fun fact: devils are 7-4 all time in playoff games played in the state of florida.

What I really meant is that we aren't built to bar the door shut for 7 games. I don't think altering what we did during the regular season is going to help us in this series. If our transition game and speed are changed to protect the D zone I don't think we are good enough to survive.

Ya, I wouldn't look to change how we do things. Stay aggressive. But also be sure we hustle back on d.

Another note though is, our PK is very good. Again driven very much by the play of our fwds. So are we a lock down defense? In general no. But on the PK? Yeah, kind of.

If nobody is working on one, I'll do my best to put one together in between work.

I don't want to overlap anyone since I lost last time around.

looking forward to a big W tonight followed by 20 minutes of celebrating and then arguing until 3am.

The last one took 5 years off my life. Madden came within and eyelash of ending it in ot. Huge save by Brodeur.

So amped for this game. Haven't been able to focus at work all morning! (been here for 2 hours already). Glad I run the dept...lol

Earlier this morning, I was 'away' on my computer for 35 minutes because I was binging hype videos.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Guys, working on a GDT. Bear with me.

[Cheddabombs]

We're gonna build a GDT and build it BIGLY!

And Tampa is gonna pay for it!

what are the chances that regardless of outcome(s), we keep negativity & dumb tangents out of GDTs?

It is entirely dependent on the outcome and the answer is no lol

The Devils PK is my key to the series.

The Devils have one of the best team PK in the NHL, and scored more shorthanded goals than any NHL team.

Keep that lethal Tampa PP off the board and New Jersey 100% can win this series.

Coleman
Gibbons
&
Grabner
Zajac

Nobody is talking about the above 4 given they're not "stars", but IMO they're going to be key for the Devils.

AGGRESSIVE pressure of the Tampa PP at the blueline, all series long, and I fully expect a few shorthanded goals for the Devils.*

*No I have not been drinking (yet)

Making the playoffs has taken the edge off. The season is a wild success no matter what happens.

I lost count of how many times I've watched the "#NowWeRise" video.

 

[New Jersey]

Crooked lying Rangers don't have a game tonight!
