Damon Severson might not be the hero we want, but he’s the hero we need.
I have started my day enjoying the tears of NYR fans on NHL’s Instagram video of Sevo’s goal complaining for an interference call 😂
Really wish devils fans did a better job of selling their tickets to devils fans yesterday. I get it, prices were insane and for STM it’s a good way to recoup some of the seasons cost.
However, the sea of blue that we were all in yesterday was pretty shitty. No doubt there were more rags fans than devils. Shoutout to everyone there who was getting loud. By the end they couldn’t keep up with us
Devils dropping a casual reminder that you can’t count them out going into the third period this season.
Win or lose yesterday, I would really like to hear from Fitz about what his plan is for the rest of this season
The good: we won! Our top centres are buzzing especially Jack.
The bad: Dougie had a couple of hard games. He will bounce back. Tatar has slowed down in scoring.
The ugly: our two young snipers (holtz and shango) had a combined of 1 shot in a game where the team to 43 shots. That’s no good. They should be the mass shooters not out playmaking center
I can’t stop watching the GWG, it’s always reeeeeaaally special watching them beat the rags in OT…rock sounded like we won eastern conference finals
That Severson goal is going to be a core memory of this generation of contender Devils to me.
While it’s a nice result against a rival, there’s still a lot flashing lights on the dashboard. Defense makes tons of mental errors, lines are all over the place changing whenever the wind blows, scoring depth is incredibly shallow, we’re constantly playing desperate hockey from behind. We shouldn’t expect to see the team we saw in November 100% of the time but that gave us a glimpse of the potential. They’ve fallen SO short of that so consistently for the last 6 weeks it’s alarming. Significant changes still need to be made before this team is a legit contender.
Glad the crowd was energetic. Not every game will be a a mid day rivalry game but the last few games I was at was pretty bad in terms of the crowd. Let’s keep it going. We’re still 2nd in the division!
Severson haters shut down
Props to the boys yesterday for playing a complete 60 minutes. As a fan, Shestys play was so frustrating and I’m glad they just kept putting shots up.
Exciting win and an entertaining game! Hoping to keep it rolling
One of the best wins in recent history. Awesome stuff.
Still high off this win. Wish we played sooner than Tuesday, that momentum from the game slightly dips with the time off
Bill Spaulding, keeper of ultra nerd stats, frequent user of the term “dispossessed”, and deliverer of absolute Banger OT goal calls. Seriously, every Devils win in extra time he has a fantastic call of the goal that makes me wanna watch the play on repeat.
Now does this team still have problems to sort out in their play? Absolutely but given how the last month went I’m willing to ignore those issues to just enjoy basking in a win that was a comeback effort, in overtime, at home finally, in a massive division matchup against the Rangers no less.
The last time I remember a Devils Rangers game feeling this important was 1/31/12 coming out of the all star break. Devils had lost 3 straight and were really just treading water to that point. David Clarkson ties the game in the last minute off a weird bounce and the Devils go on to win in a shootout which set them up for a great run down the stretch that year.
Can we dial back the hysterics in the game threads a bit now? 3-1-1 in our last 5, with one shootout loss against the best or second-best team in the NHL and one regulation loss where the team played very well but lost due to goaltending.
We’re 9 points ahead of 9th place in the East, 5th in the league in points, 3rd in wins, and 2nd in regulation wins. If you start posting shit like “I knew this team wasn’t going to make the playoffs” every time we allow a goal, you look really stupid.
Jack has hit last year’s goal total in 9 less games, and we still have the rest of the season.
