Score 8 – C’est super frustrant cette saison, c’est un lavage, c’est pourquoi il est toujours élevé. Mais ils ont bien joué donc c’était agréable de les revoir. Je suppose que ça compte pour quelque chose

Playoffs are out of the question, but it’s awesome to see life from the team as we did last night.
God I wish that shit stretch (2 kinda) didn’t happen Losing 7 outta 8 around the olympics killed them
Kinda at a 5 myself since my acceptance of no postseason pretty much settled once they couldn’t beat Detroit. Overall though they’ve played some super exciting hockey this last month along with embarrassing the Rangers twice. Might as well enjoy it for what it’s worth!
It’s not a one-to-one comparison, but watching the Devils post Olympics reminds me a bit of the team’s second-half run in the 2010-11 season when they brought back Lemaire. It’s just nice to see this group playing some fun, inspired hockey.
My biggest hope at this point is that the team can carry this over into next season. Should Keefe and/or Fitz remain with the organization next season, they should be looking at this stretch and realize this group isn’t meant to play a slow, shut-down, dump and chase brand of hockey.
I’m at a 7. I’ve already accepted that we’re not making the playoffs but the games are a lot more fun recently. Recent stretch still doesn’t change my mind on Fitz and Keefe however. Both of those guys should’ve been gone months ago.
This is my fault somehow. The team heard I wanted them to draft a second Swedish winger and they took that personally I guess. Soz
