have to get more ROWs

[nj_cup]

That miss by sykora sucked! Devils while getting the points aren't getting the wins in overtime. Only 9 rows I think? Still early but not good sign when they r the tiebreaker

 

[Nasty_Magician]

I'd like regulation wins as well but as long as we keep getting points I'm confident we'll be ok. Other teams will start to fall off and we finally look like we're starting to click.

 

[nj_cup]

Yeah I'm happy too that they keep getting points. Just I think as season goes on more teams are going to play for that one point more then at the start of the year. just something to keep an eye on for sure

Pts are pts, we're getting the wins, so net result, I'm fine with it for now(considering IMO, that many of those OT games shouldn't gone to OT that we played poorly but got away with it)

We'll start winning games in regulation. It's bound to happen!

Team is too often missing golden opportunities to score. Sykora was perfect example. If they start putting these chances away more often, no need for OT. Its definitely not good for conference games becaues the net gain is only a point on these teams instead of 2.

The few mistakes the Devils make are costly. See the Larsson give away last night. Its not often the case the other way around.

Right now points are points. I can live with it, but of course is prefer to get ours without giving away a free one.
The one thing i like about this team is while as frustrating as things have been at times theyve never faded into the black. We have a very young team, just staying competitive leaves a lot if optimism for the future. If we get a playoff spot? Hell yes

Overall Panther's game was a good effort. ZHK line started clicking.
As a result Kovy had +1 for 2 games in a row. Also, I have noticed that Kovy doing better on fore checking - he should thank Parise who showed him how to play on takeaways. Plus Henrique also is getting better on takeaways. I expect this line to be a real bomb for opponents.

If we miss the playoffs because of the tiebreaker then we miss the playoffs. It's not like they're trying to not win in regulation.

 

[DevFan60]

Let's hope that we start getting more ROW than SOW. And if we will keep winning even with SOW then do not worry about tiebreaker.

 

[CalamityX11]

Almost half our wins came in the shootout if I heard correctly.

mc i would love to hear that come april when the devils lose out to 3 teams because of this tiebreaker when they should have made the playoffs.

You would...wouldn't you

 

[nj_cup]

Yeah because I don't believe it for a second

 

[MCDevils]

Yeah because I don't believe it for a second

Believe what? You entire argument pretty much requires them to be actively trying to make it to OT instead of winning in regulation.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

 

[MCDevils]

There's no fight to be had. What should we do start pulling our goalie with 5 minutes to go in a tie game just in-case we happen to tie for 8th place at the end of the season?

 

[nj_cup]

No I don't believe that you won't be upset and bitching if this tiebreaker kicks the devils from a playoff spot

 

[TiLoBrown]

If anyone knows what someone else will do or think, its Cup after all

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Whoa! Cup are you going to sit there and take that?

 

[TiLoBrown]

Eh, I'll take it back.....that was kinda argumentative on my part
