This season has been disappointment after disappointment. The goalie situation seems to be going a bit better, but that doesnât mean much when the goalie situation was rock bottom.
The team just plays with no urgency or care. It makes it hard for me to watch. Iâm very close to numb at this point. If they donât give a shit why should I

Iâve been checked out for a couple weeks now. I donât even care to see wins now, theyâre at the point where theyâve embarrassed themselves and there is no recovering this epic failure of a season. Just make that first round pick juicier.
Even our own fans are making threads on the main board to take jabs at the devils for being soft. It sucks that the make up of the team isnât ass kickers, and I guess it has to be addressed now. You basically have to be willing to play dirty in this league and Iâd much rather be the fan of the team who does dirty shit than gets dirty shit done to them. Last year they got by by constantly controlling the play and never giving the opportunity to be imposed upon physically. They lost that this year by getting even younger and smaller. Basically Iâm at the point where I wouldnât look down on any of our guys for taking liberties, because they certainly get it back.

I think I’ve hit numb. This season is already done for me, I’ll watch whatever games I can but I’m not nearly as invested.

Iâd gone complete opposite. No pain at this point. Live in Dallas and not even thinking of going tomorrow. Going to my dogs agility class instead. He seems to put more effort in than they do (not to mention he is having way more fun).

The more that teams in front of us lose the more the pain is. The bar to get in is on track to be 92 points. The fact that we wonât hit that is embarrassing

My friends it is OK to take nights off and not watch games. I have been skipping some here and there and it has done wonders for my mental.
Next year is a nice fresh start. Not a doubt in my mind that we will be making major offseason moves. Coaching staff will probably be cleaned out. Hard reset

Couldâve added Siegs to it somewhere!

Sadly, this is 100% correct. It has become hard to watch the games. Iâm somewhat encouraged by the goalie moves at the trade deadline, but the rest of the team – with a few exceptions – seems to be all out of fucks to give. Iâve been a Devils fan for so long it is just part of who I am, but this is unbearably painful. Thankfully I have a twisted sense of humor in which I can find comfort.

I feel no pain Jim

At this point, Iâm beyond mad and disappointed, I am not sure if itâs masochism or Stockholm syndrome but I have already compartmentalized this season as a loss / growing year and have gone back to the draft simulator and scoping out the draft targets. Watching Nemo do things, etc. I will still watch the games. But I canât base my personal joy on these kids winning hockey games or not.
So here we are picking at around 10, can add someone good or send it in a trade – hopefully the latter. But man if we hit the lottery even for 2/3 people would be so pissed.
Next year with a new coach, even league average goalies, Hamilton back, and a few additions on the bottom 6, we will be in the conversation again.
Even good teams go through adversity before accomplishing anything substantial. This team has talent, but as assembled and coached was ineffective in todayâs NHL.
I look forward to seeing what they do to fix this over 6-8 months.

Score: 10, maybe 10.5
