Thanks for the Positive vibes, guys. 

Here's hoping they wreck the Rags back home and then wrap it up in the World's Most Sh-ttiest Arena, sending their fans back home while they put on their NY Mets / NY Yankees caps.

In yet nothing for the hit on drury or the hit on Staal. 

To summarize (mocking the video's narrator here) :

Different rules for Different players.

You won't ever see Marchand get suspended for anything.

Or Trouba.

 

Or whomever hit drury or Staal.

The down side to this series is the fact neither one of these teams are hitting each other. Hamilton may be the biggest guy on the ice, but he's been proven/seen/known to avoid hits rather than dole them out. Even Trouba, fugging goon that he is, either hasn't felt it necessary or he just hasn't lined up his shot on anyone yet.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you can't do it, but there's a time and place and there's a hit within the rules and those that cross the line. But there's no denying that more players have been injured in the playoffs thus far than we've seen the entire regular season- and that's just flat out inconsistently enforcing the rules and bad officiating.

There is no doubting that inconsistently enforcing the rules and bad officiating has been the name of the game in the playoffs. 😞

Tonight's a VERY CRUCIAL game for my Devils.

This may ultimately decide the series.

 

If the Devils win, they will have two shots to clinch but one shot (in MSG) to do it with a slight margin for error (ie Rags getting a lucky-as-fk goal to win it). 

 

If the Rags win, god help us all.

While I would still be confident the Devils could hold off the Rags on the road, having to beat them twice (again), while still doable, would be a bit risky.

Do Devils fans still think Juices goal in game 4 in 09 was interference on Broduer , what a series that was , it was so special to us because we triumphed against one of the top goalies to ever play the position, it was like beating Michael Jordon or New England Tom Brady 

BTW, Marty B is one of my favorite players of all time

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
