Miller Brew 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2009 NJ Devils are quietly winning games without getting much attention. NHL.com seem to like to constantly post/publish stuff about Penguins, Capitals and Blackhawks, but Devils are getting little attention considering their success. They should be a favorite to win the cup this year (if Wings don't get it going to stop them =). Devils just shutout the Pens tonight and face the Blackhawks tomorrow night. Back-2-back games are difficult but I still think they'll school the Hawks. 28-9-1 so far in the season. Respectable numbers. Needless to say, I respect the Devils, they are one of the teams behind the Wings that (imo) can extend their dynasty legacy. That said, I'm sure Wings could take them in finals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turkey 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2009 I've been really impressed by this team. They weren't even on my radar this year and they've been going gangbusters. Admittedly, I don't follow the Devils and I don't know their players but I really thought they'd be mediocre at best. Of course, at the beginning of every season I speculate that this is the year Brodeur is going to run out of gas. I'm wrong every year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowknife Redwing 57 Report post Posted December 31, 2009 The devils this year look like the 2002 Red Wings. They're exciting to watch and ridiculously dominant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hooon 1,089 Report post Posted December 31, 2009 Wings Devils series are always fun. They are a great team with some good players, I watched the game tonight and was pretty impressed. Their Dmen move the puck so well through center ice and defensively they are amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted December 31, 2009 I also saw the game tonight. They scored one fluky goal in the first minute of the opening period, and then it was just Marty being Marty (and the Devils being the Devils) from there on out, and made that 1-0 lead stand up for the whole game. Very impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edicius 3,269 Report post Posted December 31, 2009 Wings Devils series are always fun. They are a great team with some good players, I watched the game tonight and was pretty impressed. Their Dmen move the puck so well through center ice and defensively they are amazing. I was impressed that we actually seemed to play a halfway decent game against the Devils this season. Went down by 2 goals twice, as I recall, and still came back to force OT and the shootout. Scoring 3 goals against the Devils - especially THIS offensively challenged Red Wings team - is impressive.

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted December 31, 2009 This is what I thought about them last year, but then they fizzled out and choked in the playoffs. I say Pittsburgh is still the best team in the East. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marty Barry 230 Report post Posted December 31, 2009 f*** the Devils. I still hate them from 1995! I'm happy to see the Penguins lose though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
