One singular positive, this may be the best Nico Hischier has ever played in his career. Bounce back tonight, get it together and build off of it. I also do enjoy seeing a coach behind the bench getting pissed off. I am not even a little bit worried, a lot of conference/division opponents also lost tonight. Just gotta learn from these games. Also need to learn how to play for a point. It was a tie game and we were pushing way too much. A win is obviously the goal, but every point matters and last season this was an issue. Tie game with 5 minutes left, we need to try to get at least 1 point. Play defensive hockey. Every point matters.
@ITzCw4dE Nico is off to a helluva start. He needs to push the rest of these guys to get to his level of compete. We need tonight badly. We are so early in the season, I am not worried either. But this is concerning; the ship has to get back on course ASAP. I am hoping this is the roughest patch of the season. If Mercer didn't take that penalty, I think we would have won. It is what it is. Must smash the Isles tonight! LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
I can’t believe Askarov was still available at some point in offseason . Fitz should have thrown all resources to get him . We should have picked him in the first place but wasting the second chance was purely dumb .
@paha2736 I wanted Askarov badly, even after we got Markstrom. It still made sense. I think the biggest hiccup was that Askarov wanted to be in the NHL immediately. If I were Fitz I would have found a way to be done with Jake Allen and bring Askarov in. I do think this was a missed opportunity as well.
I left the live because too much negativity. Props to Jack for making an attempt and showing some passion. I’m sorry he got upended, but I have even more respect for him as a player now, for not sitting back at that moment. I appreciate you keeping the optimism man, especially when so many are not. Like I’ve said before not interested in arguing with strangers, but those of us who still believe in this team are out here.
@ED-op7wk It was pretty negative. The doomsdayers were out in full force last night. Don't desert me in my greatest time of need! After losses these people flock in and abuse me/the team., lol. I need all the positivity I can get in there. I am a tad concerned at the moment, but we are wayyyyyyyyy too early to panic. Luke and Pesce just played their first game. Hopefully Keefe gets the boys back on track. I hope to see a statement game tonight against the Isles. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Like I said in the Live, Nico has been on fire and it's outright beyond admirable his performance even during these soul crushing games. The rest of the team seriously needs to show him some respect and make things happen cause this guy couldn't be further leading by example. He's brilliant on the ice. I'm still high on Markstrom/Allen, I love goalies but Markstrom really needs to shape things up sooner than later cause these blunders make me concerned for our eventual playoff run. Like you said the Devils are reasonably going to make it but I don't want the boys to get taken out in like a 4-1 series or something if/when Marky decides to crumple.
@amagilegacy3335 Nico is trying to will this team to wins. He has been an absolute beast this season. Hopefully he can get some of the other guys to put in an effort anywhere near the level he is giving. The goalies have been concerning in the last week for sure. I think Markstrom settles in and gives us solid goaltending. Last night was a stinker for sure. Hoping for a big statement tonight against the Isles! LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
I'll repeat what I said in your other post about this game: I liked what I saw last night. They need these games. I hope this starts galvanizing this group of individuals. The coach and team scrapped on the road. Let's see who shows up today. They got dragged into a fight and engaged. Even Jack tried acting tough, that was a start.
@PirateTijuanaJoe AGREED. Baby steps. I believe Keefe gets them on the right track. Game 1 for Luke and Pesce. They need to rattle off a few wins in a row now to ease the pain of this slide. Hopefully it starts tonight with a whipping of the Islanders. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@@runninwiththedevils They just have to keep fighting like they did last night. No one is going to give them points and all these teams have watched tape on how we get beat and they are all using the same recipe, tight forecheck and bust our players upside the head and get them to quit. That is playoff hockey, so if they grow some Calluses, and thicken up their skin they can compete. At some point, they have to start bringing this north-south element into thier game before they are getting beaten on. I'm hopeful and let's hope they come out swinging against another heavy team. We old-school guys remember when our team was tough and laid people out.
@PirateTijuanaJoe This Isles game was a kick in the nuts. What a tease. They need to get into war mode ASAP. Teams are coming to pummel us. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@robertdevlin7614 I can't say you are wrong. Markstrom needs to consistently play the way we have seen him in some other games. When he is on, he is on. Last night he was clearly off. Hopefully the boys make a big statement tonight against the Isles. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
There is not much to be positive about, it's pretty much the same as last season. Same mistakes, same defensive turnovers, same sloppy passes, same goalie performance, same mentality. I hope you are right and we turn it around
Yes, a lot of similar characteristics returning: late period collapses, goals in bunches, losing streaks, can’t get a timely save, defensive breakdowns, lack of response to hits……. Giving them till game 25 to assess so that pesce and Luke can integrate into the lineup. Those are huge players.
@xupamaki2276 The Devils did dominate the game. I think they turn it around. Last night was game 1 for Luke and Pesce. Hopefully the boys are pissed off and come out and make a statement against the Isles on home ice. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@pulpmystic Oh yes, the similarities are there for sure. Game 25 puts us right at Thanksgiving. That will give us a good idea of what we have on our hands with this team. Pesce and Luke will make the team better overall, even if it takes a little time. Need a big statement tonight against the Isles. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Markstrom can’t make a big save when we need it. He’s constantly out of position and has trouble controlling rebounds. I have very little confidence that when the team needs to be bailed out that he will come through.
@BrainCandyGraphics He was shaky last night. I think it was just a bad outing for him. We have seen some very good to great performances from him already. (Buffalo in Prague, Canes (we would have lost 7-2 without him), and the Sens. He just needs to consistently give us that level of play and we will be fine. But this has been a rough patch for the team as a whole. I hope we see him return to the guy we hoped we were getting ASAP. The team needs to come out tonight and smash the Isles. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@hotterthanfire7436 I think he gives us solid goaltending most of the season. He is going through a rough patch. If he doesn't snap out of it, we are obviously in trouble.
This was a great game yeah bad turnovers and not ideal goaltending if they keep this intensity up they shall succeed. They DOMINATED this game gotta keep the legs moving LGD
In retrospect the devils played with their 7th and 8th defenders and still managed to put up a decent showing. Trust me as a leafs diehard if we were to start like that it would be a disaster. The depth is showing it’s too early to be concerned. They have to clean up the D for sure but I think guys like Dillion and Peace once they really get comfortable won’t let them fall too far down. Guys just need to click a little more and then it’ll be fine. SCARY SCARY TEAN JUST A BAD WEEK
@JoshO-ro7ek They just need to snap out of it. Last night was a super unfortunate result. If they play like that consistently, we will win more than we lose. I am hoping for a big performance tonight against the Islanders. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Devil's played well. We play like this every game and we will win more then we lose. It was a hot goalie. It is a bad patch in our season. But, we are working hard and the sky is not falling. We were never going 82-0.
@matthewwarnke170 Couldn't agree more. A reasonable assessment! They are becoming rarer and rarer around here. Last night's effort results in wins more often than losses. Talbot played out of his mind and Markstrom was shaky. They need a big statement tonight against the Isles. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@briangrzybowski-p6k I still believe as well. It is very early. Luke and Pesce just returned last night. This team will get better with time. Last night we played well enough to win. If we consistently play like that (and get good goaltending) we will be just fine. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
keefe is too soft...he needs to get angry...get in their faces and start telling these guys to 'f' off...by the way luke hughes was making alot of those passes last year as well...hamilton not stepping to help dillion was pathetic...what a loser...
@wheeliewheelie I think Keefe has plenty of fire in him. Luke must cut down on the risky plays. Keep it simple kid. If it continues, Keefe needs to send a message and scratch guys. I would have liked Dougie to do something there, but he is soft. Dillon handled his own business. I am hoping for a big win tonight against the Isles. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@@runninwiththedevils Not really a collector My sis bided on both game worn jerseys for John Madden that were up for auction after Stevens and Daneyko numbers were retired. I even got John to sign both of them and wear them on special occasions. I don't think we have ever lost a game while wearing them.
Any other night they win that game 6-3 at least. It's October so hope they can figure out the mistakes now. Didn't help that the refs were blind. Must win tonight.
@p00l95 It is a shame the result ended up being what it was. They win that game 93 times out of 100. It just wasn't our night, again. We need a big one against the Isles for sure. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@SteveDave211 I think we have some capable guys in the lineup. They just need to start showing it more. Hoping for a statement game tonight. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@danielbruegger9787 The Captain has been a monster. I like him and Timo together. I still think we need to figure out who will compliment Jack the best. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@mjbrands That is a bit skewed due to the amount of games they have played thusfar, but an average of 3.5 goals/game is certainly good enough to be a winning team in this league. They need to focus on keeping the puck out of our own net. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@thomashartmann2891 THIS, but we are averaging 3.5 goals/game which is pretty solid. Now we have to focus on keeping the puck out of our own net. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Fisher should have gotten 2 minutes for roughing. So we could have gone 4/5 on the PP and possibly still lost? Wild, doesn’t change the outcome. They need to stop the turnovers in their own zone.
@austinb.7744 While a painful loss, they did dominate the game. That type of effort results in more wins than losses. If Markstrom was anywhere near the top of his game we still win that one. Keefe needs to get it cleaned up. Hopefully we see an angry team tonight and they smash the Islanders. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
The boys played great tonight. Besides the refs, it was really Markstrom that caused this L. I’m really disappointed with him so far. I’m really hoping this changes.
@jamess.9164 They definitely dominated the Wings. Markstrom had a bad game, but the guys need to be smarter. We still would have won that game IMO if Mercer didn't take that stupid penalty. They better come out with a vengeance tonight. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@luketigue6971 LUUUKKKKEEEE! If Markstrom was anywhere near his "A" game last night we get the win. I believe if Mercer didn't take that idiotic penalty late, we win the game. Keefe better get it all cleaned up in a hurry. It starts with a statement tonight against the Isles. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
I get the defense has been dogshit, but at some point Markstrom has to step up. Still a young season, but it feels like were getting closer to that "future is bright" presser from Fitz
@anthonymarshall7301 Agreed, that game was there for the taking if Markstrom was on his game. It is super early still. If we see a "future is bright" presser anytime soon I will be suicidal. Let's get back on track tonight and smash the Isles. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
I still have hope for this team, I mean its only game 10 so its early but Markstrom is giving up too many goals. They can't go forward knowing they have to score more then 5 goals in order to have a chance to win. The talent is here. They are truly playing edgier and more violent to this point. Players are sticking up for each other more then they have in recent years (Bratt issue against the Bolts aside). As upset as people were in last nights post game live this team should have won. This team is throwing more hits, blocking more shots, and the powerplay is humming along. As much as I hate to say this, its hard to win when when you give up so many soft goals and the refs have their fingers on the scale. The Devils have two more games against this Wings this season, I would like to suggest a new drinking game. Every time the commentators mention "Larkin" we take a shot. We will all be laid out by the end of the first period.
@Dirks_NUMA_Files I am still a believer as well. Markstrom needs to snap out of it. Last night was a stinker for sure. They are playing Heavier, Edgier, MORE VIOLENT, but they need to ratchet it up even more. Last night should have seen them with a much bigger response in some scenarios, especially when Jack got dumped at the end. I hope the next Wings game is a complete bloodbath. I hate them with a passion now. I like your drinking game suggestion. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
I think one main core issue with this team is inconsistency. Why is it? It’s because when we play against a hitting team we lose. We play against a small fast team we win. There is no dog in this core jack should have 100% fought that guy who hit him. Teams know nothing will happen if you slam the devils into the boards and the devils get hit hard during games and there is no response they get crushed for free. And that puts the fear into there breakout into there zone cause there scared there gonna get hit cause the team is to soft we need to man this team up and everyone needs to be a dog on the ice or this team isn’t going anywhere. Yeah maybe we make playoffs but we’re gonna get dominated in the playoffs if we don’t change. This is the straight core issue with the team if anyone doesn’t see it aswell your living in a dream and need to wake up. fits needs to turn the core into dogs or devils will just be pushovers untill we get a new core
@brandonthomas8787 I agree. They need to be ready for war every single night. The playbook is out on this team. Go out and SMASH them constantly, and they will fold. They have to find a way to push through that and match the other team's intensity. I think this core is capable of winning with some of the other players they have been surrounded with. Time will tell. Hopefully we get back on track tonight with a monster game against the Isles. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
"For Rasmussen to THROW Jack down like that" Holy shit, tell me you're not a homer without telling me! Watch it again, man. He was scoring a goal and Hughes tried to hit him. He just stood there and Hughes bounced off him. What a soft take.
@BurtTurbo Maybe I misspoke. I know Jack initiated it, but he lost the battle and was humiliated. There must be a response there. I fully understand it was all the doing of Jack Hughes
@JosephMcKendimen Rogalski gets a lot of heat around here, but I do not know how much I can blame him when the goalie has a bad outing. I am not opposed to the notion though. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
This seems like the theme after losses. We have them on the ropes playing good hockey. Opponents capitalize on some good chances, and NJD gets stunned and sorry for themselves. They try and fight back, and opponets laugh at the effort. It's a tired, old, wet newspaper. Someone needs to get the message this is not ok and stop getting bullied. This mopey attitude needs to stop, it's nauseating. Play with some fire, and get the opponent to get off the game they want to play.
@josephinline2395 AGREED! We were taking it to them all game. They managed to weather the storm thanks to Talbot, and then they found a way to steal the game. Seeing Rasmussen taunt Jack should have been the last straw. I wanted to see guys go ballistic there, and we got nothing. They better snap out of it, and fast. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Definitely starting to wonder if Calgary’s hot start this year vs garbage season last year has anything to do with JM… not saying he’s not good anymore, he has had some good games for us. I think reality is that this team needs time to gel & then be reevaluated come mid season. If Jack was producing like Nico is, it would only be covering up the real problems this team has. That said, it’s early, but 10 games isn’t nothing. The next 10 games will tell us what this team will likely be this year: a playoff fringe team or a competitor.
@pucksnpicks I think Markstrom will be fine, but last night was a bad outing for sure. If he played like he did in his good starts, we would have won for sure. Agree on the Jack point. Keefe needs to get it cleaned up ASAP. 10 games is early, but also agree it isn't nothing. We must perform in this next stretch, and it starts with a big win against the Isles tonight! LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Ace, I'm just venting here, but it's not that we just lose... we lose by giving up AT LEAST 4-5 goals per game. Where is the defense? Where is the almighty Markstrom?
@Justin-n8o The defense will get tighter with Luke and Pesce back. It may take some time. It is still super early. Markstrom had a stinker last night. He will return to his normal self soon enough. The boys get back on track with a big win against the Isles tonight! LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@brandonthomas8787 Hopefully Keefe can do both! They need to get mentally and physically tougher. I am hoping for a big statement game tonight against the Isles. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
One more thing, Dillon was PISSED at the end of the game last night. Imagine having him and MacDermid on the ice when the game turns old school? I can’t wait for game 2 against the Wings. Paybacks better be coming. As for the Ref’s, they can all go f themselves. Dillon- Roughing and Fighting, lmao , Kovacevic getting a fighting major when his gloves are on? Not fighting? The no call on Boarding, even though it was borderline, I guess. Doomers can say the refs didn’t play a role in this game but that’s bs. They absolutely did. Mercer was an ass for the high sticking. He should know better and keep his stick down. WTF dude? Catch you later, LGD!
@TravelinDevil76 Dillon is an absolute animal and a throwback warrior. I loved seeing him get up and fight Fischer. I hope the next matchup with Detroit is a bloodbath. The refs were absolutely atrocious in this one. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
I liked the move when they got markstrok wat worried me it that he has been inconsistent throughout his career i hope he cant turn it around hes rebound controls not great hes a little scrambly and hes not making big saves when u need them
Seems like an old record "Should have, Would have". It is obvious you can't fire the team. The owner of the team has to do something from the coaches up to the next guy under him. These guys are taking his money and the fans money. The is a business and he is not getting results. Sorry' but the truth hearts.
@MIKE-mt5wz I can't disagree. It is still early. Luke and Pesce just played their first game. Let's see what this group looks like at Thanksgiving. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@hotterthanfire7436 Statistically at the moment, yes. I do not expect this to be the case all year long. If it remains this way, we are obviously in trouble. I think Markstrom snaps out of it and gives us solid goaltending on most nights. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Bro the devils in trouble. Its early but what i see is alarming. I dont even want to list my complaints but I think other fans see it as well. No need to say it. Keefe sees it as well. Yeah the refs screwed but its more then that!!
@cbonez2909 We are hopefully in the ugliest stretch of the season right now. Pesce and Luke will make the team better. There is a lot to complain about at the moment, but I truly believe they right the ship. They need to go out and crush the Isles tonight. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@asianrei I agree, but some of these guys have to get mentally and physically tougher. Dillon, Kovacevic, Noesen and Cotter are all tough. But the high end skill players need to embrace the snarl a bit more. We have improved in this area from last season, but they need to kick it up even more. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@4everSleepy I am not entirely blaming the refs, but they were atrocious and played a big part. What were the bad calls against the Wings?!? The extra roughing on Dillon literally lead to a goal. Not sure how that is even debatable?!?
I actually think the Mercer penalty is a terrible rule. The puck was gone, technically he was about to be interfered with and he was just protecting himself. If a player is about to commit a penalty you should be allowed to protect yourself.
@jamess.9164 He went way too high with the stick. If he kept it midsection I think he gets away with it. It is unfortunate because it was an in the moment reactionary play to keep himself from getting hit.
@TravelinDevil76 THIS. Go for the stomach or maybe even shoulder area and I think he would have been fine. When you go at the face/head area you are bound to be called for it.
@p00l95 Anytime you go for the face/head you are getting called for it. If he was a bit lower with the stick I think he wouldn't have been called. Super unfortunate play by him in the moment there.
Miserable game. Yes they should have won. Im not worried about Jack bouncing off someone whos bigger than him. What was more disappointing was no one else was anywhere in the vicinity on that play. The refs were horrendous. Dougie doesn't need to fight but I wouldnt mind seeing him get mad. Just a little mad. The penalty by Mercer was one of the dumbest penalties at the worst times since Miles Wood was on the team. Sometimes I think there's just no lights on in that kid's eyes. And worst of all: Markstrom was channeling Vitek Vanecek.
why should anybody on the Devils do anything about Hughes bouncing off Rasmussen? He's trying to hit a guy as he's putting in an empty netter to end the game, and somehow the Devils are supposed to be upset with Rasmussen for standing there and celebrating the win, goal, and not getting hit?
@@BurtTurbo You missed the point entirely. I'm saying no one was in the vicinity of trying to stop the empty netter. Except Jack Hughes. Rasmussen had time to skate BEHIND the net to get the puck.
@bted It was an ugly result that had plenty to be optimistic about. Mercer got caught in a top spot and it was a reactionary play with a guy about to be right in his face. If he kept his stick a bit lower I think he wouldn't have been called. Worst timing to take that penalty. Markstrom needs to shake it off and get back to the top of his game. If he was anywhere near it last night we still would have won.
@BurtTurbo While it was Jack's "fault" or whatever you want to call it...the fact that he did the stare and laughter should have invoked a response from the Devils. I think any team in that spot would want to see something happen after a play like that.
Listen i would love to sit here an say things are good rn and its not about jumping off a ledge but wats different rn from last year if u didnt kno they changed coaches bad goaltending defensive lapses couldldnt even score a goal at 5v5 that is extremely disappointing.. yeah the devils outshot detroit but we had only 4 more high danger chances then them thats not good enough at all there not creating grade as.. you would expect better from this team its not encouraging.. believe me i want this turned around more than anyone i cant take anymore bad hockey from this club its been to damm long..
@TravelinDevil76 Haha ur such a clown buddy ur like a little female ur obsessed with every thing i say its always you with a response ur a little jocksniffer i guess u most know everything about hockey
@TravelinDevil76 Haha ur a clown buddy why u be stalking everything i say ur a little jocksniffer i guess u played in the national so only u know wats right hahaha
@JSnow-rv8ls They played much better against Detroit than they did against Tampa and Washington. We made Talbot look like a superstar last night. They played good enough to win, and if we play like that on most nights, we will be a winning team. I believe Keefe gets this thing turned around soon. It starts tonight with a big W against the Isles. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
You just need to see comments under Sportsnet highlights if this game and how people laughing at that Jackie the assassin hit on Rasmussen 😂. Hilarious. And this superstar is supposed to be a franchise player who's gonna lead the devils to promised land😅

@@runninwiththedevils They just have to keep fighting like they did last night. No one is going to give them points and all these teams have watched tape on how we get beat and they are all using the same recipe, tight forecheck and bust our players upside the head and get them to quit. That is playoff hockey, so if they grow some Calluses, and thicken up their skin they can compete. At some point, they have to start bringing this north-south element into thier game before they are getting beaten on. I'm hopeful and let's hope they come out swinging against another heavy team.

Markstrom 44th out of 49 goalies in goals above expected. Horseshit. -3.8 on the season.
@hotterthanfire7436 I think he gives us solid goaltending most of the season. He is going through a rough patch. If he doesn't snap out of it, we are obviously in trouble.
This was a great game yeah bad turnovers and not ideal goaltending if they keep this intensity up they shall succeed. They DOMINATED this game gotta keep the legs moving LGD
@mr.devil9577 Agreed. With an effort like that, we win way more than we lose. Need a big performance tonight against the Isles. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
In retrospect the devils played with their 7th and 8th defenders and still managed to put up a decent showing. Trust me as a leafs diehard if we were to start like that it would be a disaster. The depth is showing it’s too early to be concerned. They have to clean up the D for sure but I think guys like Dillion and Peace once they really get comfortable won’t let them fall too far down. Guys just need to click a little more and then it’ll be fine. SCARY SCARY TEAN JUST A BAD WEEK
@JoshO-ro7ek They just need to snap out of it. Last night was a super unfortunate result. If they play like that consistently, we will win more than we lose. I am hoping for a big performance tonight against the Islanders. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Devil's played well.
We play like this every game and we will win more then we lose.
It was a hot goalie.
It is a bad patch in our season.
But, we are working hard and the sky is not falling.
We were never going 82-0.
@matthewwarnke170 Couldn't agree more. A reasonable assessment! They are becoming rarer and rarer around here. Last night's effort results in wins more often than losses. Talbot played out of his mind and Markstrom was shaky. They need a big statement tonight against the Isles. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
I still believe ace!!! We'll turn things around. Just gotta make the playoffs and be firing on all 8 cylinders at that time!
@briangrzybowski-p6k I still believe as well. It is very early. Luke and Pesce just returned last night. This team will get better with time. Last night we played well enough to win. If we consistently play like that (and get good goaltending) we will be just fine. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@@runninwiththedevils fuck yeaj brother LGD
keefe is too soft...he needs to get angry...get in their faces and start telling these guys to 'f' off...by the way luke hughes was making alot of those passes last year as well...hamilton not stepping to help dillion was pathetic...what a loser...
@wheeliewheelie I think Keefe has plenty of fire in him. Luke must cut down on the risky plays. Keep it simple kid. If it continues, Keefe needs to send a message and scratch guys. I would have liked Dougie to do something there, but he is soft. Dillon handled his own business. I am hoping for a big win tonight against the Isles. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Tough game the effort was there but stupid mistakes are killing us. Hope we can get a win toinght we really need it!
Please win tonight. It’s sad watching them underperform. This team can be so much better.
@@TravelinDevil76 Going to the game tonight hopefully my game worn John Madden, Scott Stevens night Jersey can work some magic.
@johnmick9457 Madden's Stevens Retirement Night jersey?!? AMAZING! Do you collect game worn? LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@@johnmick9457 Hell yeah! Have a great night!
@@runninwiththedevils Not really a collector My sis bided on both game worn jerseys for John Madden that were up for auction after Stevens and Daneyko numbers were retired. I even got John to sign both of them and wear them on special occasions. I don't think we have ever lost a game while wearing them.
Any other night they win that game 6-3 at least. It's October so hope they can figure out the mistakes now. Didn't help that the refs were blind. Must win tonight.
@p00l95 It is a shame the result ended up being what it was. They win that game 93 times out of 100. It just wasn't our night, again. We need a big one against the Isles for sure. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Devils need an Oakley who protected Jordan and need somebody to protect Jack Huges. Cant have Timo get decked and never recovered.
@SteveDave211 I think we have some capable guys in the lineup. They just need to start showing it more. Hoping for a statement game tonight. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
positive take Nico and Timo great line, great start
Nico is an amazing player. Happy to see him and his buddy try to life this team.
@danielbruegger9787 The Captain has been a monster. I like him and Timo together. I still think we need to figure out who will compliment Jack the best. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
What's encouraging and frustrating at the same time is that the Devils currently have the highest GF in the NHL.
The only reason the Devils have the highest GF in the NHL is because they’ve played 3 more games than Winnipeg and the Rangers.
@mjbrands That is a bit skewed due to the amount of games they have played thusfar, but an average of 3.5 goals/game is certainly good enough to be a winning team in this league. They need to focus on keeping the puck out of our own net. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@thomashartmann2891 THIS, but we are averaging 3.5 goals/game which is pretty solid. Now we have to focus on keeping the puck out of our own net. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Fisher should have gotten 2 minutes for roughing. So we could have gone 4/5 on the PP and possibly still lost? Wild, doesn’t change the outcome. They need to stop the turnovers in their own zone.
@austinb.7744 While a painful loss, they did dominate the game. That type of effort results in more wins than losses. If Markstrom was anywhere near the top of his game we still win that one. Keefe needs to get it cleaned up. Hopefully we see an angry team tonight and they smash the Islanders. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
The boys played great tonight. Besides the refs, it was really Markstrom that caused this L. I’m really disappointed with him so far. I’m really hoping this changes.
@jamess.9164 They definitely dominated the Wings. Markstrom had a bad game, but the guys need to be smarter. We still would have won that game IMO if Mercer didn't take that stupid penalty. They better come out with a vengeance tonight. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Goaltending, not finishing/finding the back of the net,and timely mistakes/breakdowns. This stuff needs to get figured out asap!
@luketigue6971 LUUUKKKKEEEE! If Markstrom was anywhere near his "A" game last night we get the win. I believe if Mercer didn't take that idiotic penalty late, we win the game. Keefe better get it all cleaned up in a hurry. It starts with a statement tonight against the Isles. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
I get the defense has been dogshit, but at some point Markstrom has to step up. Still a young season, but it feels like were getting closer to that "future is bright" presser from Fitz
@anthonymarshall7301 Agreed, that game was there for the taking if Markstrom was on his game. It is super early still. If we see a "future is bright" presser anytime soon I will be suicidal. Let's get back on track tonight and smash the Isles. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
I still have hope for this team, I mean its only game 10 so its early but Markstrom is giving up too many goals. They can't go forward knowing they have to score more then 5 goals in order to have a chance to win. The talent is here. They are truly playing edgier and more violent to this point. Players are sticking up for each other more then they have in recent years (Bratt issue against the Bolts aside).
As upset as people were in last nights post game live this team should have won. This team is throwing more hits, blocking more shots, and the powerplay is humming along. As much as I hate to say this, its hard to win when when you give up so many soft goals and the refs have their fingers on the scale.
The Devils have two more games against this Wings this season, I would like to suggest a new drinking game. Every time the commentators mention "Larkin" we take a shot. We will all be laid out by the end of the first period.
@Dirks_NUMA_Files I am still a believer as well. Markstrom needs to snap out of it. Last night was a stinker for sure. They are playing Heavier, Edgier, MORE VIOLENT, but they need to ratchet it up even more. Last night should have seen them with a much bigger response in some scenarios, especially when Jack got dumped at the end. I hope the next Wings game is a complete bloodbath. I hate them with a passion now. I like your drinking game suggestion. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
I think one main core issue with this team is inconsistency. Why is it? It’s because when we play against a hitting team we lose. We play against a small fast team we win. There is no dog in this core jack should have 100% fought that guy who hit him. Teams know nothing will happen if you slam the devils into the boards and the devils get hit hard during games and there is no response they get crushed for free. And that puts the fear into there breakout into there zone cause there scared there gonna get hit cause the team is to soft we need to man this team up and everyone needs to be a dog on the ice or this team isn’t going anywhere. Yeah maybe we make playoffs but we’re gonna get dominated in the playoffs if we don’t change. This is the straight core issue with the team if anyone doesn’t see it aswell your living in a dream and need to wake up. fits needs to turn the core into dogs or devils will just be pushovers untill we get a new core
@brandonthomas8787 I agree. They need to be ready for war every single night. The playbook is out on this team. Go out and SMASH them constantly, and they will fold. They have to find a way to push through that and match the other team's intensity. I think this core is capable of winning with some of the other players they have been surrounded with. Time will tell. Hopefully we get back on track tonight with a monster game against the Isles. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
"For Rasmussen to THROW Jack down like that" Holy shit, tell me you're not a homer without telling me! Watch it again, man. He was scoring a goal and Hughes tried to hit him. He just stood there and Hughes bounced off him. What a soft take.
@BurtTurbo Maybe I misspoke. I know Jack initiated it, but he lost the battle and was humiliated. There must be a response there. I fully understand it was all the doing of Jack Hughes
Fire the goalie coach Rogalski already. Get a new coach with a new pair of eyes to look at things.
@JosephMcKendimen Rogalski gets a lot of heat around here, but I do not know how much I can blame him when the goalie has a bad outing. I am not opposed to the notion though. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
This seems like the theme after losses. We have them on the ropes playing good hockey. Opponents capitalize on some good chances, and NJD gets stunned and sorry for themselves. They try and fight back, and opponets laugh at the effort. It's a tired, old, wet newspaper. Someone needs to get the message this is not ok and stop getting bullied. This mopey attitude needs to stop, it's nauseating. Play with some fire, and get the opponent to get off the game they want to play.
@josephinline2395 AGREED! We were taking it to them all game. They managed to weather the storm thanks to Talbot, and then they found a way to steal the game. Seeing Rasmussen taunt Jack should have been the last straw. I wanted to see guys go ballistic there, and we got nothing. They better snap out of it, and fast. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Definitely starting to wonder if Calgary’s hot start this year vs garbage season last year has anything to do with JM… not saying he’s not good anymore, he has had some good games for us.
I think reality is that this team needs time to gel & then be reevaluated come mid season. If Jack was producing like Nico is, it would only be covering up the real problems this team has.
That said, it’s early, but 10 games isn’t nothing. The next 10 games will tell us what this team will likely be this year: a playoff fringe team or a competitor.
@pucksnpicks I think Markstrom will be fine, but last night was a bad outing for sure. If he played like he did in his good starts, we would have won for sure. Agree on the Jack point. Keefe needs to get it cleaned up ASAP. 10 games is early, but also agree it isn't nothing. We must perform in this next stretch, and it starts with a big win against the Isles tonight! LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Ace, I'm just venting here, but it's not that we just lose... we lose by giving up AT LEAST 4-5 goals per game. Where is the defense? Where is the almighty Markstrom?
@Justin-n8o The defense will get tighter with Luke and Pesce back. It may take some time. It is still super early. Markstrom had a stinker last night. He will return to his normal self soon enough. The boys get back on track with a big win against the Isles tonight! LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Have to get these wins at home! Big win coming tonight
@TheLongIslandDashExperience These next two are huge. Hopefully we see an angry Devils team that comes out and dominates. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
This team need John Tortorella for a couple years to turn this team into men. And the. Let Sheldon take over the men team to win
@brandonthomas8787 Hopefully Keefe can do both! They need to get mentally and physically tougher. I am hoping for a big statement game tonight against the Isles. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
One more thing, Dillon was PISSED at the end of the game last night. Imagine having him and MacDermid on the ice when the game turns old school? I can’t wait for game 2 against the Wings. Paybacks better be coming.
As for the Ref’s, they can all go f themselves. Dillon- Roughing and Fighting, lmao , Kovacevic getting a fighting major when his gloves are on? Not fighting? The no call on Boarding, even though it was borderline, I guess. Doomers can say the refs didn’t play a role in this game but that’s bs. They absolutely did. Mercer was an ass for the high sticking. He should know better and keep his stick down. WTF dude?
Catch you later, LGD!
I love the penalty Dillon took. That's why we got him. Gotta stick up for yourself
@TravelinDevil76 Dillon is an absolute animal and a throwback warrior. I loved seeing him get up and fight Fischer. I hope the next matchup with Detroit is a bloodbath. The refs were absolutely atrocious in this one. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Ooof, tough game and they should of won. I still believe
@rabidmonkeypox AGREED across the board. They better come back with a big performance tonight. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@@runninwiththedevils I'll be watching!
@rabidmonkeypox MUST. BEAT. ANAHEIM. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
I liked the move when they got markstrok wat worried me it that he has been inconsistent throughout his career i hope he cant turn it around hes rebound controls not great hes a little scrambly and hes not making big saves when u need them
@JSnow-rv8ls He definitely had a bad night last night. I think he settles in soon and you see more consistent play from him. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
The style the devils
Are playing is exactly the past leafs teams. How many cups does Austin Matthews have?
@jamesisrael4294 Game 10 in the books. Let's see where we are at Thanksgiving. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Seems like an old record "Should have, Would have". It is obvious you can't fire the team. The owner of the team has to do something from the coaches up to the next guy under him. These guys are taking his money and the fans money. The is a business and he is not getting results. Sorry' but the truth hearts.
@MIKE-mt5wz I can't disagree. It is still early. Luke and Pesce just played their first game. Let's see what this group looks like at Thanksgiving. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Goalies are just as bad as last year. Both goalies under 90 percent save percentage. Just same old shit.
@hotterthanfire7436 Statistically at the moment, yes. I do not expect this to be the case all year long. If it remains this way, we are obviously in trouble. I think Markstrom snaps out of it and gives us solid goaltending on most nights. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Bro the devils in trouble. Its early but what i see is alarming. I dont even want to list my complaints but I think other fans see it as well. No need to say it. Keefe sees it as well. Yeah the refs screwed but its more then that!!
@cbonez2909 We are hopefully in the ugliest stretch of the season right now. Pesce and Luke will make the team better. There is a lot to complain about at the moment, but I truly believe they right the ship. They need to go out and crush the Isles tonight. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Markstrom should be catapulted to Mars along with Fitzgerald
@sst6601 LMAO, C'MONNN MANNNNNNN
Markstrom needs to be better
@MarcelMikovich 100% agree. I think he will be in time. We need a big one tonight against the Isles. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
If we had a Brady Tkachuk in our core, we don’t get tossed around as easily
@asianrei I agree, but some of these guys have to get mentally and physically tougher. Dillon, Kovacevic, Noesen and Cotter are all tough. But the high end skill players need to embrace the snarl a bit more. We have improved in this area from last season, but they need to kick it up even more. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@@runninwiththedevils agreed!! I’m not worried just yet. Second half of the season they’ll show their true potential
@asianrei They need to snap out of it soon. We are desperate for a win. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
no way you're blaming the refs for this one. bad calls on both sides cancel out. devils went 3/5 redwings went 2/4.
@4everSleepy I am not entirely blaming the refs, but they were atrocious and played a big part. What were the bad calls against the Wings?!? The extra roughing on Dillon literally lead to a goal. Not sure how that is even debatable?!?
I actually think the Mercer penalty is a terrible rule. The puck was gone, technically he was about to be interfered with and he was just protecting himself. If a player is about to commit a penalty you should be allowed to protect yourself.
It was shitty, but Mercer needs to know to keep his stick down.
I was thinking the same thing. Both players collided into each other. That's not a penalty. And you can't call that very late in the game.
@jamess.9164 He went way too high with the stick. If he kept it midsection I think he gets away with it. It is unfortunate because it was an in the moment reactionary play to keep himself from getting hit.
@TravelinDevil76 THIS. Go for the stomach or maybe even shoulder area and I think he would have been fine. When you go at the face/head area you are bound to be called for it.
@p00l95 Anytime you go for the face/head you are getting called for it. If he was a bit lower with the stick I think he wouldn't have been called. Super unfortunate play by him in the moment there.
BELIEVE!!!!!
@aRAPPERandaGENIUS I still believe. It starts with a statement tonight against the Islanders. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!

@@runninwiththedevils I cant believe we didn’t get that one. We are getting this next one lol. LETS GO DEVILS!!!
Dont stop believin
Miserable game. Yes they should have won.
Im not worried about Jack bouncing off someone whos bigger than him. What was more disappointing was no one else was anywhere in the vicinity on that play.
The refs were horrendous.
Dougie doesn't need to fight but I wouldnt mind seeing him get mad. Just a little mad.
The penalty by Mercer was one of the dumbest penalties at the worst times since Miles Wood was on the team. Sometimes I think there's just no lights on in that kid's eyes.
And worst of all: Markstrom was channeling Vitek Vanecek.
why should anybody on the Devils do anything about Hughes bouncing off Rasmussen? He's trying to hit a guy as he's putting in an empty netter to end the game, and somehow the Devils are supposed to be upset with Rasmussen for standing there and celebrating the win, goal, and not getting hit?
@@BurtTurbo You missed the point entirely. I'm saying no one was in the vicinity of trying to stop the empty netter. Except Jack Hughes. Rasmussen had time to skate BEHIND the net to get the puck.
@bted It was an ugly result that had plenty to be optimistic about. Mercer got caught in a top spot and it was a reactionary play with a guy about to be right in his face. If he kept his stick a bit lower I think he wouldn't have been called. Worst timing to take that penalty. Markstrom needs to shake it off and get back to the top of his game. If he was anywhere near it last night we still would have won.
@BurtTurbo While it was Jack's "fault" or whatever you want to call it...the fact that he did the stare and laughter should have invoked a response from the Devils. I think any team in that spot would want to see something happen after a play like that.
Listen i would love to sit here an say things are good rn and its not about jumping off a ledge but wats different rn from last year if u didnt kno they changed coaches bad goaltending defensive lapses couldldnt even score a goal at 5v5 that is extremely disappointing.. yeah the devils outshot detroit but we had only 4 more high danger chances then them thats not good enough at all there not creating grade as.. you would expect better from this team its not encouraging.. believe me i want this turned around more than anyone i cant take anymore bad hockey from this club its been to damm long..
You probably should take a break if it’s affecting your mental health this bad. It’s just a game, why do you have to be so mad?
