Whats even more sick is that people are already saying the series is over, it's tied 1-1!! Devils scored their goals on stupid mistakes by the Rangers, Rangers don't make those mistakes then we win 2-1. Some "fans" shouldn't even post here if they think we are eliminated when the series is tied 1-1, pathetic.
tortorella is doing the worst thing a coach/manager in any sport can do...THINKING TOO MUCH. stop thinking, stop tinkering, stop punishing players....ITS THE EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS! PLAY YOUR BEST PLAYERS! THEY GOT YOU HERE! ok gabby made a bad play, it happens. you think benching him is gonna send him a message at this point? no, its gonna pi$$ him off.
Torts isn't doing Stu any favors either, being human he must be a nervous wreck every shift he has. Torts and his mind games - just put the chaps out there and get over yourself.
Yup, why should we expect this team to do things the easy way? I expect this series to go down to the last minutes of Game 7, with the Rangers nursing a one goal lead. It appears they wouldn't have it any other way.
Love your 'Mats' avatar. That band was just too good.
I bet you thought we were screwed in the Washington series too.
And I'll bet you think this team can just continue to lose Game 2's, and expect to win the series.
We got lucky against the Sens, even LUCKIER with the Caps (having to tie the game with 6 seconds left). Do you think that type of luck is going to continue? I DONT.
At some point losing Game 2's WILL KILL YOU. GO UP 2 F#$##$@$#@ games to none FOR ONCE. Win a damm series in 5 games FOR ONCE.
4th in 7 nights. Devils have played twice in 8 days. This was coming.
They had that extra step all night. I'm not worried.
That's a big difference in terms of rest. It makes me concerned that even the 2 days off won't be enough to fully recharge the team. Like you said, they looked a step slow all night.
Is it heresy to admit that my pessimistic instinct says Devils in 6 at this point?
If NO, he is not seeing proper ice-time the rest of the way. So WHY USE HIM?
Erixon might be different or Eminger
I thought he did, but I'm not fully sure. Also, do you think Erixon is ready for the physical dimension of the playoffs? I could see him getting pushed around quite a bit.
Came into this game expecting a win. Wasn't too upset when we lost. I have grown to suspect that the Rangers are in cahoots with Cardiologists around the world and want to purposely give us all heart problems before finally winning it all

I see your point, but there is no way we got to where we are right now because of luck.

Maybe that's why they fired JD.
"Call your cardiologist..." I think he was on to something...
