Alright, you're going to actually make me give an effort this time, are ya?

A win tonight put us within single digits of a playoff spot!

We will also be on a 3 game winning streak, thanks to the 3 headed coaching monster!

But we're playing another crappy team, how will we endure another potential snoozefest victory like against Buffalo?

Stay tuned for the craptastic threequel!

LGD!!! I actually think the Devils missed Gionta, wow. Seriously, and moreso as winger Gionta and not center. Thanks be to Jacob for securing the center position.

Now if only the Zubrus could be figured out and if Jagr could get a second wind. Well on their way to ruining their lotto chances!

Also love watching the kids play well and seeing them win. Can't wait for Severson to return, and waive bye bye Harrold!

Harrold actually played well last night (as much as it pains me to say that). I would love to have Severson in over him but atleast it's not Faiser on the ice! Jagr seems uninterested on the ice as of late or maybe he is feeling weaker after the sicknesses he had for a few weeks, who knows. I'm also happy Gio is back because he did bring a in your face element to the game that we have been missing for awhile now. He plays hard every second hes on and wants to win, what more could you ask for from this craptastic team composition?

And pretty big game tonight, if anyone is hoping Carolina can catch us in the standings, then we need to lose this one. We win this and we are up 8 points in the standings.

Will they put Fraser in tonight for Gelinas? :badidea:

Kids clothing is 40% off tonight in the Devils Den stores (aside from jerseys).
The cynic in me says someone is at The Rock now raising all price tags 40%. :skeptic:

I can't root for my team to lose, so let's go Devils! Let's have a three game win streak and try not to make it too boring! :handclap:

It's really not possible. I was thinking about this the other day. If in the last game of the season a loss would mean the number one pick and a win would mean the number two, I would still be rooting for them to win. Even if I wonder about it before the game, during the game I root 100% for them to win. It literally is not possible for me to root against them.

Carolina is playing well of late and they dominated us in puck/territorial possession and in SOG the last two times we played them this season.

Will take a great effort and a few bounces to win tonight.

Hope they can give Kinkaid some goal support, only in the Florida game they have thus far.

I paid money to see this game tonight? What the hell was I thinking?!?!?!

Now I'm REALLY annoyed I chose to use yesterday's game as a buyback and kept today's game with all the snow coming down in Morris County now :rant:

Probably going to be a of no-shows tonight.

Yeah, that's how I am. I can't stop myself from being happy when the Devils score. It's how I'm wired.

Even if the team was composed of the biggest POS's and lazy players? I was exactly like that at first but I like maybe 3-4 players on the Leafs and them scoring makes me happy, the rest of them just piss me off.

It's about the crest on the front, not the name on the back. Lots of these guys piss me off nightly and I'd love to get them out of here, but right now they are Devils and I can't help but root for that logo.

It's hard to believe these lines can actually win national hockey league games, but I'm not complaining. Let's go Devils!

If only we beat Edmonton... 6 points back vs 8 points back is a huge difference in my opinion.

The next 5 games are winnable... Really wish we beat the Oilers, especially since we'd be getting Severson back which will make us a much stronger team.

It happens. Still plenty of hockey to play left. 2 other teams got themselves in to a shot for the playoffs. The team needs to take it one game at a time. The Bruins play Chicago next game and are missing Krejci. Will be a tough game.
