  1. Something is going on with this team, perhaps coaching or? They have been playing like a bunch of cows looking at a new gate. Let’s get back on track boys!🏒🥅

  5. Mistakes happen, gotta get your head into it and play with swagger. Trash power play. Maybe Luke had the Freudian slip for the whole team to lose to their daddy. Go get some in Long Island.

  6. That’s the best interview and takes I’ve heard from Keefe so far. Every answer was sharp, sometimes nuanced, mature, constructive and speaks of a lot of experience. Very nice to hear. Shameful that devils “fans” boos a young player like that.

  7. huge for nico to come speak to the press when he wasn’t asked to defend luke 🗣️ love to see this from the captain !! just a loss against a team that has our number, we’ll come back 🤗

  8. Canes fan here. Feel bad for the guy. Bro is shook up for sure. You can tell he’s sick about it. Not going to troll the guy one bit tonight. He’s facing the music by talking to the press like a stand-up guy.

  9. You guys want to really support him? Score a few goals! That would have made up for it. Pathetic PP. Falling out of playoff contention, while PIT got it together and is winning into a playoff spot. This team is soft! Hit somebody! Score some goals. They support his hurt feelings. Have some accountability

  11. Nemec was sent to the AHL for less last season, same with Holtz. Double standards apply for anyone with the name Hughes, pathetic organization

  12. Honestly the way we play against Carolina, I don't think it really mattered if he scored on our own goal. It's just always something against this team. I hope next game he comes out on a tear and lights it up and uses this as fuel

  13. I wonder what Cotter was thinking after seeing no punishment happen for Luke. That’s on Keefe. You gotta be fair to all of your players. Should’ve at least benched him after the 2nd goal. No special privileges.

  15. Worst game of Luke’s short career, let’s not act like Jake didn’t F up playing the puck either. Needed at least 1 on the PP. Learn from this rivalry loss, use it to get better. Better days are coming for this team, but it better be soon.

  17. Its has never helped to be hated on! I don't get how you could everrr boo your own Ppayer, the team you're a FAN of. Get a grip. People make mistakes. And usually they are the ones already beating themselves up about it.
    We should encouraged Luke, not knock him down further, wtf was going on in that stadium.

  19. takeways from tonight:
    – Jake Allen is the ultimate teammate
    – Luke is just a kid and was so clearly distraught
    – Nico is a fantastic captain
    – Devils fans are the absolute worst

  20. Post the video of Nico handling it. Good for Luke to answer the bell and answer the questions but you take the knees out from our leader when you don't let his response hit the internet . Nico is in charge of answering for his team, not the social media team. Let him speak! Let him confirm the team is with luke!

  22. Keefe should be fired for his statement that made PERFECT sense but last season Nemecs first game calles up he sat him ½ way thru the game while Luke finished a -3 that game played much worse then scratched Nemec after the next fame for good but Dougie happened to get hurt again & Nemec luckily got to develop before Keefe fully destroyed his career. Hell, after Nemec has been offered in more trades then we can count we all know he won't be in NJ past this summer & he's the better Dman than Luke. Keefe played a MAJOR role in NJ losing Nemec to what likely will be a trade Fitz loses.

  26. It makes me sad that people can be so cruel over something we all do daily (mistakes). He’s human too, but what the “fans” did tn, was beyond wrong. Hes still young, and is going to make mistakes. No one deserves that, and clearly he’s taking it hard already.

  27. Awesome! This organization was already broken and now they broke the fans. Management has done an excellent job with this team and it's only going to get better. The future is bright or is that a train coming at us?

  30. NJ Fans SUCK FOR BOOING HIM. I’m not a big Luke guy, I know he’ll get better though. But booing a player that we NEED is out of fucking control.

  32. Had enough of Keefe's excuses, fire him and bring someone in that can hold players accountable and fixes the PP.
    Seeing Palat, Hamilton, Lamiko and others live is 100 times worse than on tv. The owners and front office don't care about the fans, they just want to get your money from that 12 dollar bottle of water or 18 dollar surfside. Not going back until they fix this dumpster fire.

  33. “Did a lot of good things in this game”??? Which part?? The own goals or the FOUR straight PP’s with no goals?? Man, even the locker room reporters are crap. Everything with this organization is subpar!! Btw once again Jack a media no-show after a loss.

  37. It’s ok guys we only lost the game and are not currently in a playoff spot while our defenseman who held out for a $63M contract scored on his own goal twice. He’s been extremely shaky this year and our other defenseman won’t waive his no trade clause to help the team and himself because our GM is ass
