Digging a hole against the hottest team in the league

[Bizzle McDizzle]

down 2-0 to NJ already, and NJ back to the powerplay

I'd like to blame it on being drained from an emotional game last night.. but NJ is just playing so damn good right now.

 

[TiLoBrown]

Well, you guys gave us the 2nd goal

 

[TiLoBrown]

Good god, I think we want to make the playoffs...

 

[BlueandWhiteForever]

I seriously don't know what happened in the first half of the year with the Devils. The way they are playing now, they could have challenged the Flyers for tops in the East with even a decent first 30 games.

 

[TiLoBrown]

horrible coaching is what happened in the first half of the season

Add an uninspired Kovalchuck + injured Parise.

 

[Bizzle McDizzle]

saw a stat yesterday, something like

2-17 to start the year, 17-1 lately, something crazy like that.
yes, I am too lazy to actually look it up.

Can NJ make the playoffs?? keep playing like this and there may still be just enough time. friggin' yikes.

 

[Bizzle McDizzle]

Add an uninspired Kovalchuck + injured Parise.

And the current streak is WITHOUT Parise. Fuuuuuck.

When does he come back?

 

[esls79]

Jacques Lemaire would get my vote right now for the Jack Adams.

 

[Bizzle McDizzle]

... and on a side note.

Why in the living fuck is Justin Peters NOT staring this game?
Are they trying to kill Cam?

Good lord, coach Mo. I can't even remember when the last time Peters played was.
This would have been the best opportunity to give Ward a night off.

 

[IPostedWhat]

Whatever the Devils have been doing lately, I wish the Sabres would figure it out.

Man have they turned their season around.

 

[Bizzle McDizzle]

that said... there may be a Justin Peters sighting to start the 2nd anyways.

Langenbrunner being sent packing may play a role as well.Allot of people dont realize what a cancer he became in our locker room stemming back to last season as well.

 

[TiLoBrown]

Eh, Kovy started playing better a little after the winning started so I wont say its because of him only but he is a help. I think Parise was due back with like 1 week left in the season, not sure. Hell yes Lemarie so win the Adams. And Peters is probably not starting because your coach knows we NEED this win and wanted to make it hard for us.

Not getting my hopes up but the fact they arent writing their season off gives me a lot of respect for them.Playoffs or no playoffs i'll be proud of this team.

Yeah certainly a hell of a statement Langs is making this year. As soon as he leaves the Devils, they go on a tear. As soon as he joins the Stars, they crumble.

I think there has to be, even if the 2nd goal (and maybe the 3rd too) werent his fault, I think he needs to come in just to wake up the rest of the team

Oh yea, that too...that probably more than Kovy getting hot

 

[Bizzle McDizzle]

just realized... counting last night and tonight

of the 'canes last 24 games, 18 of them are back to back. yuck.
9 back to backs to close out the season.
damn.

time for the conditioning coach to earn that paycheck!

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Thats the other positive to Lemair coming back I think his return played a role in langs departure.

14-1-2 in their last 17 games for a total of 30 out of 34 points.

Not too shabby
