Guess we cant have too much good news in one night..

[irishwhip03]

HUGEEEEEE win tonight. 3 points away with a real easy schedule (not that that means much)

Plus the Jackets lose with 3 seconds left.

BUT Patty and Henrique go down and dont return..still no update on either. That cant be good. No way we stand much of a chance if both of em have to miss games.

Enter the Tedenby.

Very courageous win tonight by the Devils.

That game in hand is huge for Columbus. Can't lose another game all season.

They're even on games played going into tonight.

JJ down too. Sestito actually played well tonight

Sestito was huge in the last minute. He forced Semin to make that turnover and Zubrus took care of the rest.

Devils makin things interesting. Just 1 point behind the Blue Jackets for the 2nd wild card.

 

[irishwhip03]

Shocked we were able to get 2 points w/o Patty and Henrique.

This game was all Cory.

 

[TheSgtDabbs]

I say they start Cory from here on out. Love Marty but Cory has been hot lately, and we need to stay consistent in net. Also would be interesting to see who gets the starts IF they make the playoffs....

But we'll cross that bridge if we get to it.

 

[irishwhip03]

It's gonna be interesting to see how they handle the back to back on Thurs and Fri.

 

[MCDevils]

Cory better start every game we play for the rest of the season.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Would be amazing if the Devils made the playoffs. Left them for dead, nice run guys

I can see that game in Ottawa being the game that gives us the most trouble. They fucked us in 96 and they will do it again!

Devils' remaining schedule,
vs Flames
@ Senators
vs Islanders
vs Bruins

You might be right. It's the only road game, and the Bruins might shut things down by the time they play the Devils.

 

[nj_cup]

Can see it now devils win Monday and don't show up against the sens. Hey hope I'm wrong but a win against the sens would be a season high win streak. Hey these are our playoffs for the year lol

 

[irishwhip03]

Its impossible to look at one team on that remaining schedule and say "that is going to be the team to screw us"..it could easily be the Flames on Monday.

I know there has been a lot of bashing on here this season. Some well deserved bashing too for sure. But for this team to be in the position they are now is an accomplishment even though an 8th seed (and most likely a whippin by the Bruins) wont impress anyone. Fact is we were left for dead after that Florida trip. And if we miss out on the playoffs by a point or two its going to be those games and the shootouts that we all point to. But for a team that doesnt have one single star on it. (Not counting Jagr and Brodeur as real stars these days) we are ahead of teams that have several superstars on their teams. It says something about the overall team mindset and makes me think if we land one above average scorer this offseason we'll be right back to where we were in 2012.

good post ^

Lets go Islanders!
Also, if Julien has a chance to eliminate NJ, I think he would be more than happy to be a part of that.

 

[nj_cup]

I know any team can beat us but just saying I can see this team getting our hopes up with a win Monday night esp if the jackets lose tonight and come out flat against the sens.


Anyway as your saying I don't think this team is one player away from 12 level. Elias 3 years younger praise kovy both top 10 talent in the world. Adding say a bobby Ryan won't get us into contention it would mean we would just get eliminated by the pens as the 7th seed instead.


Blown leads and shootouts will keep us from the playoffs but the pp and PK will get us in. Imagine how bad this team would be with a bad pp? Hell we had kovy and praise and our pp was shit!

Making the playoffs in the nhl isn't a hard thing IMO will I take the playoffs yeah of course but I think making them this year might do more harm long term because lou will keep doing what he is doing adding ruuutus

I wish you guys the best of luck. Would be really something to see the Devils get into the playoffs.
