I'm scared that any trade is gonna be based on Lindy Ruff recommendation… Trade for Timo was reasonable at the time and I think it's fine… (He's still young enough to rebounce)… I'm not happy that Yegor went to Calgary for Tofoli… I think Yegor was haunted by Ruff's line shuffling and weird preferences… He made him basically a pure defensive player… he shines in Clagary… The same for Holtz, He is burried playing defense on 4th line… If he's traded he will be 20-25 goal scorer in no time… PLEASE, Ruff was good for this team, but it's time to move on… Bring new wind into the cabin… New opportunities… Leave Goaltending to offseason and get a new coach PLEASE
The goaltending situation hasn't really changed from last season. The main reason the Devils were so dominant last year was because of their Defense. The main reason they got as far as they did with only So-So goaltending, was because nothing was getting through their defenders. Go out and get an elite goaltender if you want, but its a band-aid on a gapping wound.
Hoping the Devils and Islanders go on a tear, just to see Leafs fans suddenly nervous about missing the playoffs.
It's as of the owners said "screw it, let's make the playoffs by just outscoring the opponent every game!!! Screw defense and goaltending!!!" 😂😂😂😂 Literally the devs have scored the same amount of goals as the rags, but defense exists in Madison square garden.
Its crazy how different this team is to last year. Last year's team was so awesome it made me want to be a better person. This team makes me regret all the decisions I've ever made on the off chance they indirectly led to this monstrosity.
Also, Hamilton when he was playing was losing pucks at the blue line ALOT…….. Which led to alot breakaway chances….. Don't believe me? Watch some of the highlights from earlier this season. He's literally Paul Coffey of the modern NHL.
Could you imagine if the Devils got Hart before the mess
Off topic but I have you seen the mlb fanatics gong show? They took over the Jerseys for the mlb and the quality dropped a lot. Even the players are complaining. Next season is going to be really rough for hockey fans
Felt like they were way to confident in theirselves this season.
All started when they took Dougie off PP1 to slot in a rookie for fun
There were no good reasonable goalies (Helly was to much) this off season, so they gambled with what they got and assembled the offense. Then the injuries came, what are you gonna do, they lost. Our young d got to learn on the fly and they’ll be better next year for it and with the salary cap going up we are going to get a goalie. Don’t panic and overpay, just ride this out and set up for next year…. But def win Saturday so I don’t freeze my butt off for no reason haha
I had New Jersey finishing top 3 in the Metro along with NYR & CAR. I didn’t anticipate them losing Hamilton for the season along with Hughes missing time.And the goaltending has been absolutely atrocious.
Too late, they don’t have the assets to grab Markstrom and an impact D.
Sharks did win the Meier trade that’s crazy
Wait I thought that after last year that the Devils were back and they just loved the goalie Akira? Where is he playing now. I think they still need a lot of help.
Too late
Yeah, personally call this an overreaction.
I get that "statistically" it doesn't happen, but it's also "statistically" unlikely for a player of Ovechkin's age to score in six straight games.
But that happened.
The Oilers were written out 20 games ago.
Things changed pretty fast.
Like.. the Leafs fans chanting for a team that was nearly last just last season.
Teams go on hot streaks, and for slower starters like the Devils, a hot streak now means they're just harder to slow down.
Pittsburgh, the Isles, and Philadelphia are hit and miss.
The Caps are poor defensively, and Carolina is inconsistent.
I won't bet against the Devils, just like I didn't bet on them when they lost that series vs Philadelphia 🙂
I do not feel it's too late, front load a contract with bonuses off Hamilton's IR if they can as well. Sign a meaningful goaltender & have a good experienced defenseman – and most importantly…keep the Devils out of injuries…and they might have a solid run. Gotta remember how many injuries have happened this year so you are having players that haven't always played together in lineups during many games so far.
Hockey content like no other. Thanks Shannon. Comment added for goo tube metrics.
I love that you included Holtz in the top 9 but our coach refuses to play him anywhere but the forth line and it has been immensely frustrating all year as Holtz has looked good in his limited minutes
The Devils have the youngest defensemen in the league (by a fair margin at that) and still one of the youngest group of core players. We have time on our side, and I would rather keep the future intact and not make the playoffs than trade away young promising players. Our window is just opening, so I am in no rush at all.
Their regulation GAA is 1.00 in the past 3 games. Ruff changed the defensive scheme. They're 2-0-1 in those games.
Could you imagine if some how the Dedvils saved this sason, Made the playoffs, Went to the final against Vanouver and it was Jack and Luke Vs Quinn in a final.
Even if Vancouver lost I wouldn't be so unhappy there.
Well the marksteom trade ain't happening anymore…Devils should of "overpaid" a bit more this will solidify their team
Sometimes I think Chico Resch is the only voice of reason in the Universe. The Devils problems are so much more complicated than get a goalie or get a coach that's the media's lazy quick fix answer to a complicated problem. And everyone is running away with it instead of looking at what's really going on. The biggest difference between this year and last year is a healthy team. We've seen this team struggle before with injuries, and we've seen them thrive when they're healthy. Let them get healthy, then see what they can do. I know ever team has injuries but this team has had 8 players miss at minimum 10 games many of those guys out at the same time. I don't think a team in the league has dealt with that and been anywhere near a wildcard spot.
Any top goalie in the league would have struggled with all the breakaways they've allowed and how long they get hemmed in their own zone. Not saying V couldn't be better, but the whole team could. And when the Devils aquire Markström or whoever and that guy gets injured, what's the tandem?
Big win vs Nashville
Absolutely possible. Especially with how they've played since the all-star break. Bad goaltending against CGY, but aside from that all 5 gms have been very solid team efforts with a simplified D scheme. It's working. They are supporting the middle MUCH better now.
Siegenthaler isn't too far off, Smith just came back, they are starting to get that D insulation they need and that you referenced, Shannon. Ideally adding another would help, but that's costly and at this point – IF Dougie would be back for a hypothetical Rd 1 – I think they keep playing Bahl, Luke, and Nemec for development and you rotate Miller or Smith as 7 D.
Forward group, minus he who shall not be named, is essentially fully healthy. They're starting to get their stuff together. DET, TBL, TOR, and PHI should all have NJ on their radar rn.
What do you think a Markstrom (1/3 or 1/2 retained) AND Hanifin would cost the devil's?? Feels like tons of prospects and 1st round picks especially if they add a cap dump
To He’ll with these Devils. LGR
Devils finding a way to package Meier and maybe some picks for Markstrom and Hanafin would be exactly what the Devils need.
Crazy how prior to the season I predicted either Jersey or Carolina to win this year’s cup…I’ll go grab my clown nose now
I hate how Gallant made the Devils look so great.
I also think that the defense is really missing Siegenthaler, especially with Hamilton out
They just need Nico to have a Dawminant stretch, he can be their backstop if he gets hot
Lindy changed the defensive system these past couple games and you can see the difference. Team all around is looking so much better. They are looking prime for a run right now, especially if we get a goalie
It's absolutely too late for NJ. Every GM in the league knows the Devils are desperate for a goalie and are trying to get then to overpay. Just punt on this season and try again next year.
its time to give hughes the C
Timo's numbers arnt the best, however hes has missed a bunch of time this season and has only recently started getting going because of it. Also, how lindy uses timo hasnt been the best.
Nothing is going to get better for the Devils until they have legit goaltending. They dont right now.
Vitek biggest issue is his rebound control. Add that with the Devils defensive issues which is clearing the crease or in front of the crease you get an large amount of quality chances. Since all-star break Devils have changed their scheme and are now collapsing center down to the goalie. Not sure why it took them 45+ games to make such a switch .
Could they use Alexander Holtz as tradebait or is he untouchable? Teams would certainly be interested.
