Do you think we will be better or worse after the all star break?
I’ve seen some optimistic comments, other negative ones. What do you guys think will happen when we return? Will we be the same? Better? Worse? Either way LETS FUCKING GO DEVILS
Without any sort of change other than people returning from injuries I assume we will stay about where we are and just miss the playoffs.
If Lindy is still the coach when we return from the break, I have to assume management is ok with that outcome.

If we are somehow worse after the break then changes need to be made. That would be inexcusable.

If Nosek and Jack come back, better. Also we can maybe get a trade for some veteran defense.

How could we get worse?!

Much better, lots of players recovering since the team is currently in shambles

I saw a lot pessimistic devils fans after game 1 against the rangers not too long ago. Injuries hit us hard let’s just see how it goes.

A week vacation / rest is what the players need. I have faith they will be competing for a wild card spot during the remaining games.
Also have faith Fitz will makes some moves to address some of the issues facing the defense. Hopefully those that are injured came come back sooner rather than later.

I don’t believe we will be a top 3 team in the metro but I believe we can MAYBE get a wild card spot

17-7-2 with Jack and Nico in the lineup. I think it all depends on Jacks health and what happens at the trade deadline

Things can only go up from here. Hopefully this break gets us healthy and lets the players reset. Hopefully our goalies can fix whatever they’re dealing with. I know Vitek isn’t and never has been a vezina caliber goalie, but he can be better than what we’re getting this year. I don’t know if he’s just in his own head or wtf is going on. I know our defense has been horrible, but if we get even average caliber goaltending from our guys, we’d be doing great right now.

Timo deal worse than Huberdeau change my mind.

Depends. We need to get healthy and fix the dumb mistakes we continue to make. If we can do that, we should do better even though we have a tougher schedule during the second half. I’m hoping for 2018 claw-into-the-playoffs momentum but I’m also not getting my hopes up too much.

Schedule not favorable coming out of the break. If they don’t rattle off a win streak right away, might as well put a fork in them.
