I just think those teams are significantly better than you guys minus goaltending. I can see goaltending winning you games early on but eventually I see you guys fading. Devils making the playoffs relies on Schneider playing the best hockey in his life. #1 in the league

I know its only Preseason by Schneider has been lights out. Not much difference between most of the teams that will be fighting for the last couple of spots

Not really, he'll have tight margins but a relatively easy workload.

Not really. Nabby was straight out awful in the beginning of the season and great at the end. Hes so inconsistent but his age is definitely catching up to him. He still wont be the reason if we miss the playoffs, our backup goalies will be if they play like a year ago.

Between the pipes they are.... better than people realize. I will continue to say I truly believe Fleury is NOT the problem. I believe his issue is positioning due to his over-compensating for a team that stops playing in front of him.


Eklund, will you PLEASE hop over to any random Penguins thread and make this same statement? Because apparently, the vast majority of Penguins fans here have no comprehension of this exact situation.

We are the worst team in the NHL. We have no forwards, no defense, no depth whatsoever. Our system is terrible, like we could probably never make it to the finals with this coach. Our goaltending is so old, like unbelievably old. We are doomed.

Sounds about right. We'll be lucky if any player scores 10 goals.

If you are mocking me you are completely wrong. I said those teams are better than you guys, not that you are the worst in the NHL or even the east. You have the best goaltending tandem in the league and a great coach with a trap hockey system.

Seriously, I mean we lost two players that scored us 28 goals combined last year and replaced them with four players that doubled that amount. What the (frank) was Lou thinking?

Not completely accurate. He was 4-1-1 in his first 6 games of the season. He struggled some in February and then turned it on after that. He had a bad 10 game stretch in February and was pretty damn solid up until the playoffs

I'm pretty sure people don't watch our games, I think they didn't even watch the scf two years ago. What a bunch of morons.

Devils have been playing the trap all pre season so I assume they will play like that in the regular season. If they win who cares? Its a good system

They haven't been trapping. We send two or three forecheckers in all game. I guess its a trap of sorts in that the main focus of our system is to "trap" the other team in their zone, but its not really close to the neutral zone trap at all.

Yeah puck possession is so boring, I wish I was a fan of a team that spent the entire game with 4 guys back in their zone and one hanging out at the red line.

Honestly, we'll be a boring team this year. We like to play on the boards and really don't have any electric offensive players. Our games will be lowsocring. But being boring doesn't mean we'll be playing the classic Devils trap.
