  2. With that win we are some how three points out of a wild cart spot and 4 points out of 3rd in the division. Thats insane lol

  4. Wasn’t perfect, but it’s hard to be against a good team like the Kraken. 2 in a row, let’s start piling ’em up boys!

  9. I’ve been saying if they’re going to turn it around, it would have to be Nico leading the charge like Alexander the Great in the battle of the Granicus. He was very clearly not 100% for a while, but he’s back doing his thing and guys have no choice but to follow. He’s the kind of guy you can put almost anyone who’s struggling on his wing and he’ll get them going.

    It’s also important that Markstrom keeps gaining confidence. We’re stuck with this guy and he’s playing at least 50% of the games going forward so there’s no point complaining about it, just need to support him continuing to regain some of his form, because he can be a decent goaltender. He’ll always let up some smelly ones especially early on but he’ll make some great saves too, we just have to live with it

  12. Jack “we’re still in a rut.” Don’t rain on our parade lol but honestly appreciate that he keeps it real and knows they still have work to do.

  13. Jack Hughes is in the conversation for best player in the world in 3v3 situations. He does unbelievable things with that much time and space. He had a pretty shitty game I thought with about ten wipeouts, a bunch of bad decisions and turnovers. But it goes to OT and he does pretty much whatever he wants with the puck, and is out there 80% of the period. He really has to evolve his game 5v5 and pick his spots better, I know he wants to drive the offense but the turnovers are simply outweighing the positive plays right now. Doesn’t help that he’s injured – just play a simple game until the right moments arise and it will help the team in the long run

  21. Nico’s star of the game interview was really sweet. His eyes lit up when asked about the support of the fans at The Rock. We all cheered and he looked around the crowd and it was such a nice moment. So happy we were able to provide the team with good vibes tonight!!

  22. According to my stats, the only 2 passes Jack connected on were to Nico, that’s love baby

  23. The schedule is open for them to take a run. If we can beat the hurricanes the vibes will be on our side and the schedule gives them a chance to get back in this

  25. Loved to hear the crowd in it tonight. Fitz still needs to make some moves, no question. However, for everyone talking a big game about chanting Fire Fitz and xyz, didn’t hear a whole lot of that tonight.

    Let’s rally around this team, and support them to make a push. Unless Fitz has a burner in here, no one else can control what happens with the roster. LGD, great OT win, keep it rolling boys.

  26. Don’t regret taking my son to his first devils game for his fifth birthday. LFG Devils!

  27. Hamilton and Jack Hughes had nice games tonight.

    I never really saw how trading Dougie would improve the team. Just have to play him in the right matchups. I am not saying he is the same offensive weapon he was before the pectoral tear. But he still has very positive impacts as long as he is not asked to play against the wrong opponent lines.

    The Devils have four RHD that deserve to be on the ice. Not sure how to solve that. Nemec is the future and looks very good for his age.

    I think is is fair to consider trading Dillon, not because he is bad, but just becasue the Devils have a more balanced D group with 2.5 puck movers than with 1.5 puck movers

  29. Hell of a win.  Was very sloppy at times seems like we can’t connect on passes lately but a win is a win.  I said after the wild game that if we didn’t win the next one that game meant nothing.  Well it meant something now.  The boys should be flying against the canes.  I’d put money that Luke will have a career game.  Also what are we doing with our sight side now?  Dougie got benched and is now playing like the dougie we all know, pesce is getting back to where he was before the hand injury, kovacevic looks good and Nemo is playing well.  Unless we can’t get that reported return from Utah again which was schmaltz and I forget what else idk if I want to trade him.  I never liked the idea of trading Dougie. 

  30. Did anybody catch the postgame interview? Based on Keefe’s comments, Dougie may have played his last game here

    First Devils game I’ve attended at Prudential Center. Im from Los Angeles and a lifelong Kings fan but have always loved the Devils because my family is based in NJ. It was a blast cheering for them tonight, also helped out my Kings who are in tight competition with the Kraken for 3rd in the pacific. Devils played a wonderful game and I gotta say I love everything about the stadium, environment, and fan culture which felt much more intense and passionate than what I’ve experienced in LA going to Kings games.

    I gotta say, Devils dominated that game. It really never felt like they were out of it with Cody Glass (who I watched in juniors when he was a Winterhawk) scoring 54 seconds in and Hischier finishing it in OT. Jack Hughes had a really solid game contributing offensively despite a few slips and inconsequential turnovers. This team I feel like is very capable of making the playoffs, it sucks the east is so competitive because it will be a tough fight.

  35. This is how you dig out of a hole boys. Keep it up. People are taking accountability and stepping up. All positive stuff

  36. What’s the deal with their goalie pushing Dougie after the game? Can he get in trouble for that?
