OT. NJ Devils. Are they turning the page?

Haha give me a break, have you ever actually watched a hockey fight before? Miller had the tape on his punching hand and he punched Kalinin with his tape-wrapped hand and drew blood. Kalinin had some sort of wrap on his other hand, which he only used to grab Miller's jersey. If you can't see the difference, then this conversation is over. You are perpetuating the stereotype that Rangers fans just do not have a firm understanding of the sport of hockey, and are just Noo Yawk spawts fans who have never actually played hockey at any meaningful level.

Terrible loss last night. Torts has the BJs playing well after that awful start (0-9?). Another game like that and the Devils may be sellers. No excuse.
I'd give you Rick Nash, but not sure you'd want him, and don't know that he'd be enough help.
I know you're kinda joking, but, Nash would instantly be the devils best skating player. He heats up, its more than enough to put them in the playoffs. Once he gets there...
Really, the best course for the Rangers is to put Nash on LTIR until the playoffs and use some of that mega-cap space opened up to get a decent rental player. They've been treading water and need a jolt. But, not sure they have a lot of chips to play here. Maybe Skjei?
I wouldn't trade Skjei right now. I want both McIlraith and Skjei as regulars next year.
We'll lose Yandl and Boyle, but they need to start clearing some cap space. I think they might entertain moving Kreider, but I'm not ready to give up on him just yet.
(Damn, if only they'd let me be the GM.)
Well then you probably get it more than most fans, but your comment on Miller being penalized for winning the fight is just ignorant.
I'm thinking both the Devils and Rangers have a fair share of idiots in their fanbase; I try to stay above the fray on this stuff. Sometimes, it's really hard to do that.
Heading to the game tonight. With this game as the last for NJ ahead of the trading deadline, we'll learn a lot about what this team should do by 10pm. There is no doubt that scoring is an absolute necessity and I'm growing more and more comfortable with trading from defense by the day. I've read rumors of a Gelinas for P.A. Parenteau deal with TOR over the past week, which I feel could help. I also don't think the loss of Cammalleri can be overstated. He was on the highest points per game average of his career (38 in 44) and his absence has crippled the 5 on 5 offense. The team's reporting of this injury is almost Lou-like. They need him back fast or they'll continue to lose tough games (save for last night's disaster...another 2 points lost to a bad team.)
They do, as is evidenced by how many people yell "SHOOT" throughout an entire powerplay.
I'll be there tonight, too. I think if anyone is willing offer an established NHL player for Gelinas, they should jump at that. Gelinas has a huge slapshot but that's all he has, he is basically Fulton Reed before the Bash Brothers.
Just got back from the game tonight, they're turning the corner for the long run but they need to sell, sell, sell the next 72 houts....stock up on draft picks and prospects.
Only question is who outside Stempniak has any real value?

Agreed. Exactly what I thought as I listened to the end of last night's disaster on the radio. They've been outscored what, 10-1 the last two games? It ain't happening this year.
I think the devils will be watching the Penguin game closely. Even with the games in hand, they are only 1 pt ahead and playing the same middling game as the devils right now. If the Penguins look vulnerable, and with 2 more games upcoming against the Penguins, still think they think they got a shot. Plus, the vet trade bait for the devils will probably return peanuts.
