true. just bench Clarkson and Poni. this is so annoying to watch. 1 team capitalizes. the other team misses OPEN nets with NO pressure (Fayne) and hits posts with 10 seconds left ..

There are 9 forwards that should be benched.

Our skill players just aren't good enough. Quick hasn't been amazing, we're shooting?????? right to his strength. We're getting chances, just not making it hard enough. Our skill players have been absolute poop.

Rough time to be a fan...

Why has deboer gone with parise-zajac-kovy again? Its never worked and it hasn't worked tonight either. Put henrique between them again that's worked before.

Agreed on all counts. Only shooting low where Quick is at his best. Parise, Elias and Kovalchuk have all played below their ability. In Kovalchuk's case maybe due to injury, but still it is what it is.

Is terreri doing anything? Like shouldn't he be able to spot a weakness the devils should look at? Ask moose for Christ sake.

We've run into an extremely hot goaltender who is in our heads. That's the story of the series. Seriously, if it was a different goalie we could be up in this series. But that's hockey. Quick is a shoe-in for Conn Smythe at this point

or maybe we are just not getting good shots off, we need to do something and just create plays, dont be fancy and just shoot and go in for rebounds

you know, at least we beat the Rangers. and the Flyers.

Yeah exactly. Our offense is being so easy to stop. Just throw it to the point and shoot. That works but not every play.. We don't have the firepower on the backend to do that.

Guys is Clarkson hurt or something? 30 goals, 170 hits, 10+ fights in the regular season and I feel like he hasn't thrown a body check in 2 rounds. I know the stats say he has, but geez, what has happened to him? It's crappy to see, because he's one of my favorite players to watch.

Congrats to the kings on a stellar playoff run...I can't hope anymore for the devils...see you next year

LA is too strong this year. It has nothing to do with the Devils. They did this to everybody.

Burnt toast... and getting even crispier.

Going to bed early kids.

well when your relying on a Russian to provide a large part of your offense, this is what you get...

Well it is safe to say we aren't going to come back.

Yes we are losing because one player couldn't score 4+ goals this game with a (frank)ing herniated back injury. He isn't the only one who hasn't shown up. Parise, Zajac, Kovalchuk, Elias, Zubrus, Poni, Clarkson, Zidlick, Salvador. These guys haven't shown up this round.
