Lou has made this team a complete mess and has yet to do (frank)ing anything but waive two young swedes to fix it. It's getting to be so ridiculous how much longer does he have to watch to realize we need more offensive help and space on D for the young guys...

Who the hell knows the both seem hell bent on forcing these crap players to work. Sal and Volchenkov would be 7th guys on just about any other team but here they are the gold standard of everything Pete wants.

I sort of get the obession with them but not to the level Pete has taken it too. They both are great PK'ers, block shots and hit. Something not all our D do but (frank) the mistakes besides those things are just ridiculous. Neither knows how to pass a puck tape to tape and they both suck at skating. Can't tell you how happy I will be when only one of them is on the roster. At this point I don't even care anymore just get rid of 1.

A-train did play well last night. Not sure if he played as well as Englomb made it out to be but I thought he was good.

First things first i hate NBCSN and everyone on it and i hope they never televise another Devils game (well after the stadium game), second SOS with this team great scoring chances but no one can finish!
I would like to see Henrique center Zubrus and Jagr, i think he may be able to convert on those chances set up from Jagr. Zajac does some good things but he can't score. Why waste all that hard work from Jagr; get someone on that line who can find the back of the net with some consistency.
So frustrating.

Also do not understand why it's so wrong to get rid of Sal just because he is the captain. He hasn't captained us to poop and isn't a lifelong devil. I like the guy too he is classy and what not but if you can healthy scratch kenny D in his last year and do the same to Jaimie L and than trade him. You sure as hell can do it too Bryce...When the (frank) did Lou grow a heart?

I don't get it either. Sal is an alright pker there are plenty of youthful guys who skate hit and kill penalties better then him. He might be one of the better ones on the Devils but he is a terrbile NHL player along with A-Train what teams top four would these guys crack ? Sal for sure is a product of our system.

We only went to OT because I turned the game off with 1:30 left on the clock

They both have very little left to offer to a team. Sal has basically nothing except experience and alright positioning. At least Anton is still 31 has some energy out there. He still hits and blocks shots. They both (frank)ing suck and we would be way better without them. (frank)ing poop why is Lars-Gelly sitting for these guys!?

Jaromir Jagr was angry after the Devils' 3-2 overtime loss to Philadelphia.
The Devils got off to an early 1-0 lead and held it until the third period. "I don't think they were ready from the first minute, and we didn't take advantage of that," Jagr said. "And it happened to us against Columbus a few weeks ago and other games, too, and when you have those points that might be the difference between playoffs and not playoffs. But we don't learn. We keep doing the same mistakes over and over and over." The Devils are directly competing with the Flyers for a playoff spot, so obviously this loss hurts more than most. As it is, New Jersey is three points shy of a postseason berth.

Hmmm... If they're not learning from their mistakes then they are not having very productive practices. Sounds like Pete isn't getting through to these guys.

Can't tell if DeBoer is a terrible coach or if this team is just bad. So many questions on where to put my hate.

If my team picked up Sal for a playoff run, I would be furious. $3.9 mil off the cap this year and next year? Barf.
