The New Jersey Devils fell to the Tampa Bay Lightning by a score of 8-5 at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on 10/22/24.
This night was a complete debacle for the NJ Devils.
– Jesper Bratt got leveled by Erik Cernak. NO RESPONSE by the Devils.
– Brandon Hagel had a Natural Hat Trick for the TB Lightning.
– Victor Hedman had 2 goals for the Lightning.
– Jack Hughes had a goal and 2 assists, for a 3 point night.
– Timo Meier had a 2 goal game.
– The refs gave Dawson Mercer an atrocious penalty, and then immediately missed a call on the Lightning.
– Some Devils fans have lost their minds just a few weeks into the season!
I discuss all of this and more in this video.

I was also there. Rough outing for sure
I was at the game to the refs stole the game
Either the Dev fans that are complaining aren’t real fans /trolls or they never experienced when the Devs were sucky in the 80/90s. Chill folks
We didn't even hear of getting any fuel nor fire nor that which we desire when you read either of the Timo goals. That's how atrocious this game must've been. What a game to miss.
The look on Jake Allen’s face after that fluke goal is haunting me. He was done dirty last night!
That being said, we got to get over it. My husband feels like you, Ace, he says it’s far too early to freak out.
I know you said it may be a slow October as some of the guys get their groove. Hopefully they just all planned to pack in most of the pain and misery into this one game. The next game better be stellar.
that second period made me depressed, but im with you. i still believe we will get it together, we have plenty of time. not to mention, pretty sure we are still in a good spot, we aren't 0-9 guys.
Rangers are gonna clean our clocks not oooking forward to that matchup
I agree it’s too early to jump off a bridge, but this team after all its moves was supposed to be a cup contender
Wasn't a fan of the "ref you suck" chant at The Rock when Bratt got laid out. Makes our fan base look real stupid like when they start the "you suck" goal chant when we're super down on the scoreboard lol
Why does it seem like this team always plays their worst game when they score the first goal? Lmao
Allen BLOWS
He only has a job in NJ in 2024 because he is Marty's old golfing buddy from St. LOUIS ⛳️.
Allen couldnt even crack the terrible HABs roster.
Totally washed.
Second, Keefe's excuse for NOT pulling Allen is steaming horse crap 💩.
"You dont put your starter in cold"
I saw Marty himself , back in the day, come off the bench cold a bunch of times, & Marty was starting 70 games!
NJ got kicked right in the nuts, again, by Tampa.
One day soon, hopefully, we figure a way to beat those guys.
Can we please just waive palat and bastain he gets so much playing time
This has been a pattern for years now. Subpar performances on home ice.
Unfortunately, the Devils have a reputation of being soft. Teams will continue to test them all season. Worse still, is when a star player gets pummeled (legally or not) and Ondre Palat is the guy who steps up, teams will know they can push you around. The pic of the two lightning players laughing on the bench after that Bratt hit should be taped to every Devils locker. McDermott should be in the line up for the foreseeable future.
Would just like to see them come out aggressive/desperate hockey. Really disappointed after a horrific 23-24 season that saw them play similar hockey. If the embarrassing way they played last year doesn’t motivate them I’m not sure what will.
So much negativity I agree can’t go on a devils post after a loss without complete doom and gloom, calling for heads no matter where we are during the season
All I can say is TERRIBLE BY JAKE ALLEN
"Here we go again" as the song goes. I am crushed. The Devils have a problem.
Brutal game, especially the 2nd period. Refs killed the comeback but I don’t think it’s time to freak out. While it looked ugly the last 2 games, Jack seems to be getting going and the was actually 50% on face offs last night and against Washington so that’s something!
2nd period devils let up 5 goals. All scored by a tampa player who's name starts with an H.
Honestly with this schedule, thank god we dont have the rangers until december. Plenty of time to figure everything out
MacDermid should have been in lineup last Saturday against Caps. I was there. Wilson or Mcllrath fists would have been good for this club. Got your T-shirt today…thanks brother Ace! I’ll post something this weekend rocking the T. LGD!
I knew it, Ace. I knew Keefe was a budget hire. We should have gotten Berube or Babcock. We may be heavier, edgier, and more violent on paper….But we are still baby shit soft. I like Nico, but we do not need his European attitude of being neutral leading us. That does NOT win. I would trade Nico for Brady in a heartbeat. Brady would have gone right after Cernak. It may be early in the season, but it's definitely time to start panicking. We cannot even beat a playoff team. Fitz and Keefe need to be fired. If they change the season around, I will admit I am wrong…but as far as I am concerned, we are still the stinker that we were last year. We had a 4 point lead over every team in the NHL, and lost that. The Rags have passed us in the standings, and the Caps are about to catch us. We are heading down to the bottom like the Titanic.
When Bratt got leveled I expected someone to take a suspension. Instead we did some faith healing and turned the other cheek.
As a fan of this team I am not happy with this.
I think I love Bratt more then his teammates do. How did noone go apeshit. Unbelievable.
What do you think would have happened if Cotter hit Cuntzel or if Dillon hit Koochyrov. Yeah….exactly.
Problem with Sheldon Keefe saying you don’t put a “goalie in cold,” isn’t valid. The NHL instituted a new rule this season that when you replace a goalie you can warm them up. So no, he would not be anymore “cold” than Allen at the start of the game. That being said, I agree Marky wasn’t saving us. As you said in the live, prime Marty (most likely) not saving us. The trick here is how do they respond after this game. We just need to find the balance between scoring and defense. Also, once had one of those freak bounce goals go in against mewhen I was playing, and it is the worst feeling. It feels to me like we are right on the cusp of things clicking. Even Palat put up points. Winning is a recipe that has to be balanced, and sometimes too much of an ingredient creates a bad dish. On that note team Taylor Ham all the way!
Was disappointing to not see a “violent” retaliation for bratt!
Once we Get Hughes & Pesce back in I think nemec needs to go down, LGD
needs more kool aid
