They lost because they can’t score on the power play, not because of Luke. They should win a game in which they had 5 power plays including 4 in succession over the course of 10 mins of game time.

DEVIL FANS: PARISE’S BETTER Devils 5 – Penguins 1 In the spotlight of his NHL debut, Sidney Crosby was upstaged. β€œParise’s better,” the Meadowlands crowd fairly sang with five minutes left last night i…

I was at that game! β€œParise’s Bet-ter” chant was awesome. October 5th, 2005. It was the first NHL game for both of them. Such a great memory

These are the same people that do the β€œRangers suck, Flyers swallow, Crosby watches” chant

Officially 0/24 on the PP in their last 9 games vs Carolina. You can’t make this shit up!

So fucking stupid. He’s having a bad game. On the second one, he should’ve gone behind the net, but it was poked off of his stick. He didn’t shoot it into his own net.

You think it’s OK to boo your own player every time he touches the puck? FFS he’s having a bad game! That’s horseshit. It wasn’t on purpose, he made a couple mistakes. If that’s what we’re doing, we should’ve been booing Dougie for the past month every time he touched the puck. #NJDevils

Tom Fitzgerald turned a 7th overall pick into Paul Cotter. Minnesota took Marco Rossi 2 picks later, paired him with Zeev Buium, whom they drafted 12th overall in β€˜24 after the Devils passed on him, opting for Anton Silayev instead with the 10th pick, and used both to get Quinn Hughes.

I think we would be better with Pete DeBoer as HC. We had dominant special teams last season and they inexplicably fired the assistant coaches that ran the PP and PK. Now we’re 9th in PP, which is ok, but we’re 24th in PK. This GM has really shit the bed. Should he even be allowed to try to fix it?

Why is Lammikko still in the lineup? Gritsyuk should be on line 2, Mercer should be the C on line 3 with Cotter and Brown and Halonen on the 4th line with Noesen and Glendening. Am I missing something? What was wrong with that lineup that helped win 8 in a row?

I think the problem is that there are far more buyers than there are sellers

And they signed him for 4 years at $4 million per. He had 31 goals and 31 assists for 62 points last year and had 104 hits. He’s exactly the kind of player we need- physical with talent for $4 million a year

I promise you, when this team is good enough to win you’ll know it. You’ll see it. I saw it in the mid β€˜90s. I saw it in β€˜00, I saw it in β€˜01 when we should have won and
I saw it in β€˜03 and again in 2012. It’s hard to explain but when you see it, you’ll know it.
It’ll seem like poetry in motion

So it’s Vanecek, Greer, Boqvist, Kulikov and Nosek, right?
Oh and Tuomo Ruutu also gets on there as an assistant coach

The Panthers AHL affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers are in the Calder Cup finals as well.
The last NHL team to win the Stanley Cup and their AHL affiliate to win the Calder Cup in the same year was the New Jersey Devils and Albany River Rats in 1995 #StanleyCup #EDMvsFLA #NHL #TimeToHunt #NJDevils

Happy for them and feel terrible for Henrique. 0-3 in the finals now for him. Don’t know if he’ll get another shot

Speaking from experience, having been in the building in β€˜95 & β€˜03, there is no better feeling nor greater atmosphere as a fan than the 3rd period of the cup clinching game when you know it’s in the bag. I wish every hockey fan could experience it.

My hope is that Palat, Haula, and Mercer are all on different teams next year. This is a very important offseason. Take a look at the finals right now - the Devils would get destroyed by these teams. If they really want to contend for a championship, the roster needs a lot of work

Agree 100% - he’s a wing without trade protections. We should be looking to move him to upgrade the roster

That was a team friendly one year deal to try to win a cup. Like I just posted he’s projected to get 3 years at 6.4 million per year.

Daily Faceoff has his projection at 3 X 6.4 million

He’s a UFA - he’s getting more than 3 mil

Matt Duchene? For 3 million AAV? On what planet?

If you’re the Leafs, would you trade Austin Matthews for Jack Eichel straight up? #TorontoMapleLeafs #LeafsNation #MapleLeafs #NHL

There’s no way Ehlers only gets $7.65 mil per year. Same goes for Luke. Both will get at least $9 mil AAV
