Something is going on with this team, perhaps coaching or? They have been playing like a bunch of cows looking at a new gate. Let’s get back on track boys!🏒🥅
We all have to remember he is still just a kid, he will learn from this
It's not Luke that lost us this game.
It was the impotent power play.
Absolutely flaccid.
The 2nd one wasn’t an own goal just a bad play , Hall smacked it in
Mistakes happen, gotta get your head into it and play with swagger. Trash power play. Maybe Luke had the Freudian slip for the whole team to lose to their daddy. Go get some in Long Island.
That’s the best interview and takes I’ve heard from Keefe so far. Every answer was sharp, sometimes nuanced, mature, constructive and speaks of a lot of experience. Very nice to hear. Shameful that devils “fans” boos a young player like that.
huge for nico to come speak to the press when he wasn’t asked to defend luke 🗣️ love to see this from the captain !! just a loss against a team that has our number, we’ll come back 🤗
Canes fan here. Feel bad for the guy. Bro is shook up for sure. You can tell he’s sick about it. Not going to troll the guy one bit tonight. He’s facing the music by talking to the press like a stand-up guy.
You guys want to really support him? Score a few goals! That would have made up for it. Pathetic PP. Falling out of playoff contention, while PIT got it together and is winning into a playoff spot. This team is soft! Hit somebody! Score some goals. They support his hurt feelings. Have some accountability
boo that #43 next games, boo him until he leaves NJ
Nemec was sent to the AHL for less last season, same with Holtz. Double standards apply for anyone with the name Hughes, pathetic organization
Honestly the way we play against Carolina, I don't think it really mattered if he scored on our own goal. It's just always something against this team. I hope next game he comes out on a tear and lights it up and uses this as fuel
I wonder what Cotter was thinking after seeing no punishment happen for Luke. That’s on Keefe. You gotta be fair to all of your players. Should’ve at least benched him after the 2nd goal. No special privileges.
Team played well besides the mistakes. If they just scored on the PP one time before carolina made it 3-1
Worst game of Luke’s short career, let’s not act like Jake didn’t F up playing the puck either. Needed at least 1 on the PP. Learn from this rivalry loss, use it to get better. Better days are coming for this team, but it better be soon.
Got your back Lukie boy.
Its has never helped to be hated on! I don't get how you could everrr boo your own Ppayer, the team you're a FAN of. Get a grip. People make mistakes. And usually they are the ones already beating themselves up about it.
We should encouraged Luke, not knock him down further, wtf was going on in that stadium.
Anyone who booed Luke at the rock today is a gutless clown that has zero respect for the sport of hockey and he a lack of understanding of the sport.
takeways from tonight:
– Jake Allen is the ultimate teammate
– Luke is just a kid and was so clearly distraught
– Nico is a fantastic captain
– Devils fans are the absolute worst
Post the video of Nico handling it. Good for Luke to answer the bell and answer the questions but you take the knees out from our leader when you don't let his response hit the internet . Nico is in charge of answering for his team, not the social media team. Let him speak! Let him confirm the team is with luke!
Damn they broke the kid
Keefe should be fired for his statement that made PERFECT sense but last season Nemecs first game calles up he sat him ½ way thru the game while Luke finished a -3 that game played much worse then scratched Nemec after the next fame for good but Dougie happened to get hurt again & Nemec luckily got to develop before Keefe fully destroyed his career. Hell, after Nemec has been offered in more trades then we can count we all know he won't be in NJ past this summer & he's the better Dman than Luke. Keefe played a MAJOR role in NJ losing Nemec to what likely will be a trade Fitz loses.
jake allen's a better person than me fr. love that guy
If luke didn't demand 9m I wouldnt care as much. But if you are going to handicap the team in order to secure your bag, these things cant happen
I love how everyone is just being all calm about this what if it was your team yall wouldn’t be ohhh it’s okay it’s a game bullshit
