Consistency the issue again.

[MCDevils]

The Devils completely dominated the first period, but fell asleep in the second.

 

[Indian Chief]

Agreed. I'm having trouble putting my finger on what is going on.

 

[rp2five]

That crap goal Marty gave up sucked the life out of the team.

 

[MadCaptain]

The Devils do not do good in the 2nd period.

I'm not sure why but they haven't been good for the entire calendar year

 

[SDevils]

consistency ... motivation ... older players not giving the same effort they once used to .... plus this team just isn't very good offensively on the blue line

this all equals 1st round exits in the playoffs

 

[SLY]

If you make it to the playoffs

 

[SDevils]

If you make it to the playoffs

Again whether they make it or not it doesn't really matter lolol

 

[DevFan60]

Rangers look the same as last year - even worse. Devils already look worse than last year, but I will stay optimistic and feel that we will be OK going forward.

 

[SLY]

Were off to a worse start. Kinda hard to top 7-0-1 to start the season. We'll be alright. I truly believe we will be a more consistent team this year, which is really what we needed. Just gotta stay healthy.

I'm sure you guys will rebound very soon...

 

[DevFan60]

JEFF, I'm glad to hear it from you. I wish this year will be a good competition in our division as usually. Our teams need some fresh adrenaline to make things going better.
Last losses were similar for both teams: were completely outplayed by Leafs and Bruins in second period.

 

[SLY]

This division should be very interesting with the Isles becoming an actual team.

 

[DevFan60]

Nobody expected it. Will they be able to continue stay strong going forward - it is hard to say now. But it makes our division more interesting to watch. Main thing I want Pens & Flyers be at the bottom by the season's end.

 

[SLY]

lol... that would be great, but it ain't gonna happen.

 

[SLY]

eh, anythings possible.

Pens and the Flyers at the bottom was definitely not going to happen
