Jeez I knew NJ was bad, I mean last place comon. But they are a -18 in goal differential....and the closest(-9) in the NHL happens to belong tooooooo the _ucks....ahahahahaha
Part of me agrees. But the other part would love to see NJ go back home at 2-11-1.
Yes this is a tough one. Having NJ hating life would be nice. I was just thinking that if NJ wins one and loses one this weekend I would rather it be the Kings game the Devils lose. With how bad the Devils D has been so far this year, I am not worried about them making the playoffs. I normally don't start crossing teams off the post season list until at least 20 or even 40 games have been played but...
With respect to how some NJ fans have been acting lately, I am with you: here is to the Devils returning home 2-11-1.
I dont want to see them stink up the bottom of the standings, becauase they dont deserve a top pick...i want to see them squeak into the playoffs, and get crushed in the first round. So thier pick wont be a top 10, and still have to scrap for cap space. They are really close to being in a black hole...
Huh, I for one would love to see the Ducks make the playoffs as the 8 seed then get trounced in the first round by the 1 seed (you know who). So Cal needs to see their two teams go at it in the playoffs.
So go ducks! (You'll never see me type that again!)
Actually, from everything I'm reading (since I'm not personally a scout or GM), next year is supposed to be a fairly weak draft. If they're going to get a high pick some time, next year seems the best time to give it to 'em.

well..there is Larsson, who will probably go no 1 or 2.. and will be the perfect fit for NJ.
Googled the Mickey Mouse reference. Anyone have some mouse ears?
Quote:
Back in the day, maybe before you were born, the Devils were an awful team. This especially coincided with when they wore green pants (rather than black). That could be a coincindence, I don't know. Anyways, when the high-powered Edmonton Oilers rolled through the swamp, and obliterated the hapless Devils (yet again), the normally diplomatic Wayne Gretzky called the Devils "a Mickey Mouse organization". Well that made ripples, and I think even until the day Gretzky retired, whenever he visisted the Meadowlands, the fans would don Mickey Mouse ears, and taunt Mr.G with various Disney references. These tauntings must have been especially poignant when Gretzky's floundering Rangers had to lock horns with then now powerhouse Devils on a regular basis.

If you call anything a "Mickey Mouse ________" then you are implying that it is not a high quality SERIOUS thing. When Gretzky called the Devils a Mickey Mouse Organization he meant that they were just kid stuff, not a REAL big league team.
