This guy ronnie b knows nothing haha reading some of his posts itt
I think you're way off on your takes but I do think you know your hockey, you just can't separate your hate for a team with your takes on them.

Proud on the other hand is just a clown.

Thats what i mean by let him walk.

Devs dont have much leverage if they try to deal him. The return would be minimal
Case in point - you say we need to get more physical but we shouldn't resign one of our most physical forwards, how the hell does that make sense?

You’re serious clueless in your hockey takes.

You have been schooled enough by me this season but you ain’t learning

Its not hate, it’s reality. The devs are too easy to play against. They need some pricks. I think they have a very bright future if they get some grit and fix goalie

I couldn’t agree more with the Devils announcers. My takeaway from game 1 was that the Devils speed bombing down the ice was very dangerous, and every time they got the Rangers to turn over the puck in center ice it turned into a good scoring chance, but the Rangers D and Shesterkin played well to get them a win. It was a 5-1 game 1 win but the the Rangers were very opportunistic on offense.

The Devils played tougher last night, but that actually made them easier to play against. The Rangers can handle some tough they have defensemen who normally can’t handle the kind of speed the Devils have.

Yes, the Devils need to be tough in their own end, but I thought they made their forwards easier to play against by worrying about toughness instead of exposing the Ranger defensemen with speed.

I do agree, though, that if the Devils were going to take an extra penalty or two it should have been cross checking Kreider in front of the net because he is dominating right now.
Fair points. I would give your team more credit though. For me, this is my nightmare scenario come to life. The only time all year the Devils played consistently well, was that 13 game losing streak.

Except for Bahl, I'm hearing Bill Parcells old line, " looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane." Every time Kreider is on the ice.

Of all the reasons we're down 0-2, the team's physicality is at the bottom of the list and it's not the cause on why the Rangers have had an easy time. In fact Krup is pretty much on the money being physical has cost them since it's not their style.

We're only been outhit 71-69 and have not back down from any of the after the whistle antics.

I think that last night was maybe the best game the Rangers played all year. Even though the Devils scored in the first period, the Rangers looked great.

The Devils, though, made made a big mistake by focusing on something they aren’t built for instead of taking their best shot using the skills they do have.

I picked the Devils to win the series, but they should be concerned that the Rangers have two 5-1 wins with Zibanejad being relatively quiet, and the fact that Shesterkin is making everything look pretty routine right now.

I have to laugh, I will never go against my first instinct. While I wouldn't describe it the way one NYR fan has, even with the moves the NJD are too soft to win in the playoffs.

I couldn't even watch the late games after. Now the great 90's/00's Red Wings had some huge playoff loses, so maybe this is growing pains, (not a direct comparison!), that is the only thing us Devils fan's have left.

Enjoy IT!

Why give up a 4th round pick for Lazar if you are not going to play him in the playoffs?

The only thing Timo has done right is imitate roping, and taking down a steer in Oklahoma! Sorry, that is a penalty in Hockey.

😆 points to ponder during an *** kicking.

Uhh, that's on the PK and it's by strategy and it's ******* stupid and on Ruff.

We've got a fast and aggressive team and on the PK we have them sitting back in a box.

Sadly, this series looks like the varsity playing the freshmen! To make matters WORSE, the 2 butt whoopings happened at the ROCK.

I try to think positive, but my team has not done a thing to make me "realistically" think they will come back.

This is when the no 1st round pick just makes me ill.

Akira Schmid better start, along with Lazar, and Luke Hughes. Bench Vitek Vanecek, Miles Wood, and Damon Severson. If not done fire Lindy Ruff and hire a task Master.

Severson has been a little ****. I think hes sparking the rangers by being a fake tough guy then when asked to dance his gloves are sewed to his hands. Goody was gonna pummel him Tuesday and then trouba last night after severson was being a little ***** chirping mika

Series is not over. Devils can just as easily take two in NY. Rangers were up on TB 2-0 last year and that certainly didn't go their way.

As NYR fan, I hope all of the "it's over" comments from NJD fans come true but there's a reason it's best of 7.

Lets please not compare the 2021-2022 tampa team with the. 2022-2023 devils. Disrespectful to have them in the same sentence frankly

I'm not liking Ruff's changes in practice. Bahl dropped to 4th pair with Luke Hughes. Severson and Wood still in the lineup.

Pucks and Pitchforks has some nice thoughts. I especially like the Ruff comparison to Henry Winkler's character in the Waterboy. Interesting funny read.

I hate the rangers more than any sports team - more than Pen St Football.

But unfortunately they have the looks of a Finals team
Will be a battle against Boston in the ECF .

It looks like Akira Schmid will get the start in goal tonight for the Devils. I know they aren’t playing well but I don’t think the goalie is the first thing I would change LGR

Akira Schmid will be in goal tonight, reportedly. Vanacek looks like he is not comfortable in net. I have never seen any goalie duck so much. At least in real-life.
