@devsarmy95 Philly has a tough schedule remaining not to mention we play them so if we finish 5-0 that means philly needs to be 1-2-1 in its other 4 games which are: At detroit At winnipeg Vs Carolina Vs mtl All teams fighting for something wether seeding or playoff birth

#NJDevils   move +2 up and are 7 points out of Metro 3 spot. 5 games / 10 pts to go…Flyers win today was a killer. #NJDevils   finish 5-0-0 (93 pts) NYI finish 2-2-0 (93 pts)** PHI finish 1-3-1 (93 pts)** CBJ finish 2-2-1 (93 pts)** WAS finish 2-1-1 (92 pts) **NJD win tie

@BrickCityHky Njd 7-0, 94 pts CBJ 3-3, 94 pts PHI 3-3, 94 pts NYI 2-3, 93 pts

I really see the path for the #NJDevils - and it’s crazy to think. If they just take care of their own business and win 7 in a row, I actually think they’ll make it. LOL . DISCLAIMER - very unlikely they win 7 in a row. But I think 94 points gets in done in some fashion.

@JMC9787 Yeah but in any case we are never finding production capable of replacing him at the amount he makes. He is a massive asset

@njdlfg Ideally, I think he’s a 4C. But he can move up to 3C is needed.

A lot of talk about trading Glass… and I’m for it if someone looking for a playoff center wants to blow you away with an offer… But I like the idea of him being the 4C next season. Can move up too if needed. I like him as an option.

@ThePoniExpress Theyd be foolish to give that much

Rumor: This is a projected Penguins-Rangers trade for Pittsburgh's own Vincent Trocheck that's making the rounds: Penguins trade 2026 1st round pick 2027 2nd round pick Rutger McGroarty Prospect Bill Zonnon for Vincent Trocheck I would do that. Would you?

Worth pointing out that dougie is back to looking like the dougie this fanbase once fell in love with Unfortunate that his career here was riddled with injuries. He looked really bad at times this year, likely due to nagging injuries which have a real impact on play

I hope clean house includes la greca

@Arny651636 @DaRealRyanGrant @LockedOnDevils Ur telling me you wouldnt sign jack, nico, meier, bratt all under 9m aav? Are u nuts? Anyone in their right mind would. To blame fitz for their underperformance is lazy scapegoating

@DaRealRyanGrant @njdlfg @LockedOnDevils You guys can keep scapegoating the coach. But Fitzgerald put his trust in this core. He bet on it with bad contracts. Let's stop it

I’ve given Keefe the benefit of the doubt here because of how poor the roster construction is but I don’t think it’s a fluke that this guy couldn’t get over the hump in Toronto despite all the talent he had. I’m seeing the light. This guy isn’t a great coach. #NJDevils

@Arny651636 @DaRealRyanGrant @LockedOnDevils Lindy was driven out of NJ by the same fans calling for fitz’s head Lindy wasnt the problem that injury riddled + vitek season. Keefe was by far the best option on the market that season it was a big hire Now you all see lindy is a great coach and u all overreact all the time

@DaRealRyanGrant @njdlfg @LockedOnDevils Who hired Keefe? What we going to fire another coach? I don't want Keefe either going next year. But let's not ignore the problem that needs to go first. Tom Fitzgerald

@Arny651636 @LockedOnDevils Drury?? The rangers are in dead last and have no tradable assets and maxxed out on cap. He blew this window miserably. Devils have all their picks and great prospects in casey saliyev. Moves can be made. Everyone thought palat was unmovable with the ntc but look now

@njdlfg @LockedOnDevils What has he done? Drury has done more than him. The guy sucks. He will be fired in the off-season. Good riddance

@Arny651636 @LockedOnDevils I rly dont think fitz is the problem. He bet on this core as would any rational gm - hughes hischier bratt meier, mercer. Besides for hischier, the rest have been underwhelming and is the reason why were struggling so much. Full stop

@njdlfg @LockedOnDevils They need a New GM and Coach. Then the new staff can fix the core and do whatever roster shakeup is needed

@devilstatguy The disrespect is beyond salvageable

This headline is so disrespectful to a veteran who has won Stanley cups and never disrespected a single media member in his career . Cmon now #NJDevils

Jake allen has been phenomenal as a backup but markstrom unfortunately has teetered off to the point where he may ruin our window. Hopefully the story doesnt end here for marky & he bounces back BUT I do wish fitz wouldve traded for hellebuyck back then. Wouldve made us dominant

Over the years there were moves that could’ve been made - not many but i’m sure you all remember: -trade for connor hellebuyck -trade for john gibson -trade for jacob markstrom We ended up making the move for markstrom who had a fine first year but is miserable now

Looking back on the goalie situation over the years since fitz took over is kinda crazy Signed Corey Crawford who retired before the season started and never played Signed Jonathan Bernier who played a handful of games before a career ending injury It gets worse 🧵

@MaestroGee75 @TalkinDevils82 Yeah this is the correct take. I think allen and management are in agreement that they cant play him back to back because of his age/recovery ability. I think if there was no health risk they’d already would’ve made allen the starter a while ago

@TalkinDevils82 I’ve said this in other conversations but, at least to me, I assume Allen has said something to the coach/uppers that isn’t happening. He hasn’t played b2b since October, even with days in between and the only time he did, he complained about cramping. It’s not happening.

With the early start vs Seattle Sunday I’m not pulling Markstrom But Jake Allen needs 70% of the starts going forward. Markstrom has had so many chances this season and just can’t figure it out #njdevils

@njdlola43 @nhljackhughes Agreed. Im not confident in markstrom right now either but the move is to keep rotating him and allen every other game for now If marky finds his game great. If he regresses to the point where he’s unstartable (like he’d been at points this season) then re-evaluate

@njdlfg @nhljackhughes ya i get it i still think he’s not gonna be consistently good but there isn’t anything else keefe can do

Gunna need Markstrom to shut it down tonight. Prove you can string some decent starts together. Still crazy how Allen isn’t allowed to start two games in a row.

@MrWhite1079 @DirkDiggler_222 Its the truth. Even now were on a 3 game winning streak without a single goal from jack, bratt, or timo. How many teams in this league win 3 in a row with 3 of their top 4 scoring 0 goals? You think edmonton is winning 3 in a row if mcdavid drai and hyman arent scoring?

@njdlfg @DirkDiggler_222 Fitz, go to sleep… you’re embarrassing yourself here.

This fanbase couldn’t wait to move on from Lindy Ruff, after coaching us to a franchise record season. They also laughed at him when he went to Buffalo but now that players are buying into his system, they’re one of the best teams off the rush & have officially lapped us.
