OT: New Jersey Devils '17-18 thread.......
- Thread starter nutfromSEC117
- Start date
Is anyone actually talking about the Rangers rebuild? I haven't heard it.
Here come the attendance shots again. LOL. That’s when you know the Devils are back!
There will be no trouble getting the Rock full for the Playooffs.
The rock was rocking last game and it was a weeknight against the hurricanes. This team is exciting and playing meaningful games right now. Interest is trending up
That sorry-*** franchise has been rebuilding since their glorious 1995 cup victory. And before that .....well we all know it only took 54 years to find the right pieces. It comes with playing in the garden ( real men don't play in gardens!) the place only has losers as tenants. The knicks, st.johns, and the rags. As far as the people who waist there time going, they only go because the tickets are given to them by some company in town. Put those three teams somewhere else and people would find something better to spend their time doing like putting pins into their pupils instead of watching the crap at the worlds biggest bunch of losers arena!
Not sure if you have read this but I found it interesting. Two years they did the analysis resulted in no changes. https://thehockeywriters.com/why-changing-the-nhl-point-system-is-pointless/
The issue I see with it is the standings. You would have 4 components to the standings which is pretty ugly.
The Devils give out more free tickets then Rutgers does to try and fill the place!
But on a funny side, trying to make my hockey playing kid a Devils Fans so we can actually afford to go to multiple games a season!
Yes , yes I have been following them as they are in the same division as the real team ( your New Jersey Devils) in the area. I have also been following them (and every other team in their division) to enjoy their demise! Watching them lose is as much fun as watching a good war flick or visiting a historic site in N.J. of which I have always enjoyed!
Wow.... You are delusional as well? LOL....
You probably only started watching this year!
What is really funny is how many free tickets are given to people to get them into msg to see the rags. Thank god all those companies in nyc get tickets to keep clients entertained. And entertaining in a very sad way for rag fans and funny as can be for all the other fans of the NHL!
Yes you are right, I started watching 2 weeks ago! That's right I caught playoff fever, something the rags gave up on after they wrote their now famous " we quit on our fans again" letter about a month ago.
The writing was on the wall that what they were doing was not working.... No problem with a rebuild, It's called what you do in the NHL today!
I believe your team has done it the last few years and it seems to have worked!
But keep bashing the Rangers and what they are doing, you are proving my point!
Id much rather play TB than Boston in the 1st round... lets overtake Philly or Columbus!
While they were definitely an advantage a week ago, the Panthers games in hand have now become a liability. They have 5 games in 7 days, which is just a grind and includes 2 games against Boston and 1 against Nashville.
FLA vs. Car
FLA vs. Nash
Off
FLA vs. Bos
Off
FLA vs. Buf
FLA @ bos
Devils have a 7 point lead and:
Off
Devils vs. NYR
Off
Devils vs. Tor
Off
Devils @ Wash
Off
Better to be the Devils now. Even if the Devils lose out, the Panthers need to get 3 points out of the 3 games vs Nash and Boston. 2 of those games against 1st place teams are on the back end of back-to-back games. If the Devils win one more game, lights out.

LoL at the Rags troll. The queen is getting old, and the Rock has been packed and going strong most of this year. Haven't heard anyone at all discuss rags rebuild except my buddy who is a ranger fan when we were just discussing hockey in general. A ton of ppl talking devils lately I've noticed though. Many NJ ppl who hadn't previously been huge hockey fans. Things are looking good for us .
We need a win against the Rangers tonite. Four points clinches for us.
If we win tonight, and Florida loses, that's all she wrote. I am way more focused on Philly and CBJ (particularly CBJ) at this point. They are both up on us by 1 point:
NJD vs. Rangers
NJD vs. Toronto
NJD @ Capitals
Phi @ NYI
Phi vs. Car
Phi vs. NYR
CBJ vs. Det
CBJ vs. Pit
CBJ @ Nash
Capitals will likely have nothing to play for when the Devils go down to DC; Toronto and the Rangers already have nothing to play for. Detroit has been playing fairly well, and Pittsburgh is still gunning to lock up home ice.

Flyers look to have a very easy finish.
As long as Devils get in I don't think it matters who they play.
Would be pretty sweet to clinch tonight against the Rangers. Here we go, boys
Look at the Wings beating Columbus 4-1 told you guys the Wings were playing good lately. CBJ will then have Pit and Nashville. They could very easily find themselves not only in the wildcard, but out of the playoffs altogether.
Hall with the Penalty Shot goal! 5-1 Devils over Rags, still the second period. Flyers losing, Columbus losing, this is looking like a Devils night!
Playoffs baby!!!
This team has potential to make a run! Watch out!

Congratulations New Jersey Devils! At least one team in the Metropolitan area knows how to make the playoffs in the 2017-18 season.
As of right now, Devils would play Capitals in the first round. But that can easily change with everyone jockeying for playoff placement going into the final weekend of the season.

Big congrats. Can still pass Pittsburgh. Let's go Devils!
