Welcome Back to the Playoffs, New Jersey – 2023 Edition



I made this video five years ago, the last time they made it to the playoffs. I don’t think it will be that long of a wait next time.

  1. they should be good they do have 2 no1 pick centers + a bunch of other top 10 picks would be embarrassing if they still sucked

  2. Unfortunately Vitek Vanecek has a proven history of struggling in the playoffs. In the regular season he does good. Hopefully New Jersey turned this around.

  3. The best thing about this team is the +/-. I know it's not the mos incredible stat, but there are 4 devils in the top 10 of the +/- category. Absolutely ridiculous. LGD!

  4. Remember when the entirety of the arena was chanting "Fire Lindy", complaining about everybody, quite literally 1 game into the season? I hope Devils get bounced round 1 just so the fans can be mad again.

  5. Are they over achieving or are they actually this good.
    This will be an interesting playoffs. let’s go Rangers

  6. Born a Devils fan and have supported them since the 90’s since I was little and never stopped. Stood by the worst years like in 2009 when Jacques Lemaire came out of retirement to help Lou get them to a hard working team. I’m sure not many remember that before 2011 when Deboer came in. And then again after 2012 to have Lamoriello leave, to Shero, then to Fitzgerald!!! Many fans like myself have been waiting and waiting and waiting, since 2012 to get this good. So happy its hopefully just the beginning!!! I’m sure others have been waiting longer but for a lot of us. It’s been a long wait!! Let’s Go Devils!!!!!!

  7. Devs fan, our power play used to be so bad it was actually an advantage for the other team because it would be an easy kill and momentum the other way.

  8. As a die hard NY Sports fan out of the New York metro area, Tri-State area NY/NJ that watches the 3 local hockey teams on MSGSN and MSG of the Devils, Rangers, Islanders, congrats to the Devils on making the Playoffs for the first time in 4 years since the 2017-2018 season they had been a big surprise this season nobody see them get 100 points to me the Devils remind me of the Rangers of last season a young team on the come on and as a local fan I do want all 3 teams in the Playoffs so it can be some local hockey talk on the radio on WFAN New York in the area

  9. I have a friend who's a Devils fan, one of 3 I know of. I was teasing him that the Devils haven't won a playoff series in 10 years.

  10. gees Shannon do you ever sleep….. your videos are the best hockey videos on YouTube period….

  11. As a Devils fan I hate to say it but if they play the Rangers in round one, the Rangers will have home ice advantage in all 7 (potential) games

  12. Devils were very top heavy in 2017-18. That was a one year burst back into the playoffs…this year is the beginning of a true potential Cup window. 17-18 wasnt. 2022-23 however I feel the Devils are a bit ahead of schedule

  13. I think if Luke Hughes comes in at end of year/playoffs it may give them that jolt they need. I've seen many times where a rookie comes in at end of year and makes huge impact in playoffs

  14. Hughes,as great of a player as he def is,may have injury issues unless he gets bigger which I think he still could,teams will be running him in the playoffs,just a fact…

  15. I can’t see them making it too far in the playoffs this year. Very good team, but not enough playoff experience… I’d like to be wrong though!!!

  16. Jesper Bratt was a 6TH round pick…..hes fount through adversity….66 points this season, 31 goals so far. EPIC

  17. Between the prospects they still have and the average age of the team being like 25, I'm beyond excited as a Devils fan, we've waited too long for this. Kinda had these expectations for next season but the best season are always the surprise ones like this lol goaltending has been my worry basically since Marty retired, have never found a true replacement. Hoping Schmid can round out to form or Nico Daws is the guy from Utica. Everything pointing upwards with this team. If they can make it known that this is Jack/Nicos team and their contracts are the max for potential FAs or guys like Timo, they could seriously create a dynasty.
