Do we even really need the 3rd period?

1. That’s…actually insane

2. How many of those times where they down by more than one after the second?

3. Sounds like we should petition the league to eliminate the third period

4. One of those odd stats that backs up the eye test. Devils always play only half a game it’s either the first half or the latter half

5. We do need OT/SO to win some of those though

6. Giveaway after giveaway

7. This needs to change ASAP. Can’t head into the playoffs with every opponent knowing that if they can control the game up to the end of the 2nd, that they can play passive for the last 20 and automatically win.

8. Stop the ◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️!

9. You gotta respect them trying to save us some time every game during the busy holidays

10. When TNT showed that stat showing the Devils record after leading into the third I thought that was very interesting.

    But that other stat is bad, as well.

11. This makes sense to me. Our system eliminates all quick strike ability because all 5 players are deep in our defensive zone.

    We’re easy to defend because it’s a team philosophy to move methodically through the ice. If the other team has the lead, they just need to sit back in a 1-3-1, clog the NZ, and force us to dump after our long and arduous journey with the breakout.

12. I’m not even mad, that’s amazing.
