Staying up late to watch this poop team. This is true suffering.

Yup just some sad sap mother(frank)ers that love our team. But hey Captain Nico & the Boys have been keeping it fun.

I feel like even after decades of watching hockey I still often see things happen on the ice I haven’t seen before. Somehow it’s always entertaining.

They actually look like an okay team out there right now. Gusev is so good.

Has he played too few games to win the Norris?

the amazing play aside, Mermis has been okay so far. Maybe a bottom pairing guy moving forward.

Interchangeable flock of defenders.

This Bratt-Zacha-Gusev line is starting to look real nice.

Agreed. Gusev is a talent. Not sure what I just watched though. These are 2 bad teams.. Tho sometimes I have this illusion..that if we made a run...

...If we made a run we’d get a pooptier draft pick.

Sigh. Yea. But..if we won a 90% of the rest of the season ..

Undefeated in the Fredrik Claesson Era! Devils have never surrendered a goal with Freddy on the ice. The Dynasty begins now!

As for the rest of it, who cares. Experiment with any players, goaltenders and line combos you want. The season doesn't matter but evaluating players and getting them some NHL experience is worthwhile.

I've enjoyed the win/points streak but let's keep our eye on the prize and not start climbing in the standings. Looks like AZ could get passed by a couple teams and be a pretty nice first round pick. How ironic will it be that we fire Shero and then we get a great pick and have Merkley and Bahl turn out to be legit NHL assets.

And re-sign hall in the offseason???

I agree, the guy has great vision. So ink him to a 2 year extension in the summer, or ship him out at the deadline for another solid haul.

I really liked Halsey but he ain’t coming back.

Yeah, players don't re-sign with the teams that trade them.

Gosh she is beautiful

Damn loser point!

Waste. But at least the sharks get 2.

Better than getting 2! And it was a good day around the league as it pertains to our draft picks too, Sens and Sharks gained a point and closed the gap a bit on us. And everybody around the Yotes in that wildcard race all won.

The only Taylor Hall that could be part of our organization:

I go to bed after the first and 2-0. Wake up and we lose 3-2 lol

Bitterly , this and the lottery show is what this season has come down to.

Yes, but I do feel good that we've also added some pretty decent prospects in these deals. Realistically very few 18 and 19 year olds should be in the league so it helps to bring in some guys a couple years matured past their draft.

Lol me too, but I fell asleep on the couch at 2-0 and woke up from the horn when the Sharks scored in OT. Hey at least we caught the good stuff.
