Life is good when the New Jersey Devils still have not won a game!

Lamoriello is an idiot to not have forfait his pick in 2012. Unless you win the Cup, you cannot picked later than 29. How stupid are you really....Matteau was not that much of a steal so that he HAD to pick him at that spot....Makes no sense whatsoever.

More so, Matteau would probably fall to the 2nd ... and he might have been able to trade up to get it

Trouba just took a nasty tumble head first into the boards. He missed his check. Hope he is ok.

Yeah, that was a weird one. Never like seeing young players get taken off by a stretcher.

 

[Smokey Thompson]

Ouch poor Trouba... He was looking so good too.

 

[Hoople]

Nick Tarnasky with two goals in the third period for Hamilton tonight.

Call him up!!!!!!

 

[Sthabs]

Aaaaaaaand another stretcher
Ridiculous

 

[Kriss E]

I know this was accidental but what the heck is going on. It feels like someone leaves on a stretcher every night in the NHL.

 

[Tyson]

Jets are no very good.

 

[Tyson]

Signing Kovalchuk and Zajac to insane contracts leaving no resources for signing Parise. That team is put together by band aids

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

Jets are no very good.

Beat Elliot and the Blues in the shootout, lol.

 

[Whitesnake]

Beat Elliot and the Blues in the shootout, lol.

Did St.Louis forgot to play their tight defensive game tonight?

 

[Tabarouette]

reminder that we lost against the flames

It would be EPIC if the Devils would forfeit the 1st Overall pick this year.. Everybody says Lou is a Genius... Since the Cap Era he's been dishing out stupid contracts and sending vets in the minors (McGillis, Malakhov) and his battles with Mogilny and so on and on... I hope Ryder and Jagr enjoy their new team in Jersey!

Smith ain't better in SO then Price .. 4 goals against on 6 shooters

Surprised that no one really talks about this: Tampa has a 5-2 record as well.

The Atlantic division is scary: Detroit, Toronto, Montreal, Tampa, Boston and Ottawa (the latter of which has been picking up steam) are in the top 8 so far (6 of 8!)... I hate the new conference/division/playoff seeding format. The East is getting screwed over.

It looks so far, though it is early, that Atlantic will have 5 PO teams, and the metrosexual division 3 PO teams. That gives Habs a decent chance at PO.

I would be pissed if the Habs has more points than the 2nd/3rd rank from the Metro division and out of the PO.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Anaheim just had to win. Makes me bitter I didn't set my fantasy roster earlier in the day. I would have started Hiller because he's had a hot start to the season. .

...and they're better than Buffalo, so...

The two saddest teams i see are Philly and Buffalo.

Philly might rebound, it's up to Giroux, but man, they were so good not that long ago. Holmgren just creates these roller coasters...and the goalie thing, jeez, curse of Ron Hextall or something. Carter and Richards deals not looking so good.

Poor Sabres. I pity their fans. Sabres have generally always been pretty good, like the Habs, but man, no FA wants to be there and they have been screwed by UFA over the years. I can't remember the last time they were this ****, if ever. They were damn good within one or two years of coming into the league, and gave Habs nightmares in early mid seventies PO. I think they might lose the team if they don't draft top 2 and excite the fans again. And the Myers thing is just ****ed. Though I still think the kid will rebound.

Yes, very good indeed. I have been waiting 15 years for this...

The only explanation that makes any sense to me is that LL thought the team was going to be a top finisher for three years.

That in itself was a mistake, given Marty's age.

But the much more obvious mistake was not acting when the picture was clear, and deferring the draft pick loss to when the situation could not be known.

Really, really dumb, that. The worst mistake of LL's career, and it could cost them the no. 1-3 this year.

Highly unlikely the 6th place Atlantic team will have more points than the 4th place Metrosexual team...no worries.

They did get Leino on th UFA market!

Yeah, they'll forfeit the first overall to... edmonton. Yay.

 

[Whitesnake]

Other explanation is that he thought the world of that 1st round and who he could have gotten. And didn't think the 2014 1st round would be that great. Which is an incredible mistake....people talked about how great 2013 was and it was true. But 2014 1st round will be insane.
