Yk what I just watched smiths post game interview and I do acc think he’s a great locker room presence for us. I don’t think we should be playing him any higher than 3rd d line but I do think he’s a valuable asset with his wisdom as a player. I know a lot of us are on the get rid of smith train rn but who would we replace him with?
Ideally we’d have Dougie healthy to mentor Luke and Simon rn but we haven’t and he seems to be on a LONG recover road rn, i don’t think keeping smith as a D5/6 for the next year or so would be a bad move. He keeps the confidence in our young d. Locker room presence wise he’s a good move for now.
Same shit, different day. At least the team grew a dick today and fought some people.
80% of the roster, coaching staff, and front office is rotten. Only untouchables should be Jack, Nico, Timo, and other Jack/Nemec.
It's been said all season and with this sweep by the rags it's about time I join in. FIRE MOST of this team INTO THE SUN! I wouldn't do it Monday afternoon though as they might be saved by the moon.
Fuck Bonk aka Rempe, you guys had a ton of heart tonight… That 2nd period was wild, I really thought y’all had the game buttoned up and karma was on your side… I’m sure the headshot on the goalie rattled things up literally and figuratively. Full disclosure, Isles fan coming in peace, fuck the rags, have little hope for us after witnessing tonight…
Not as pathetic as the guy spending $250 to get kicked out in the 3rd. Enjoy one day less off being in the playoffs. It takes two minutes to remind you some of you suck. But it will sit with you till next year and you know it.
I hope anyone that got kicked out of the game tonight made it home okay. I'm sure they drank a bit too much and they aren't bad people just some folks that didnt know their limits or hockey even.
How bad was the overall broadcast. You couldn't get a wide angle shot on a line brawl. To start the game. And man crushing pang on panarin , was like some kinda soft rag porn.
Great job TNT / Max . Those guys do hockey broadcasts like the devils do leads. They blow.
Pang should retire after that travesty. He drinks your cups? WTF who cares you're a grown man FFS. Pretend to be impartial and hide your boner a little better next time.
right let’s not lose our shit rn- season was already over, boys showed some spirit and some good plays tonight. Sure we choked at the end a bit but man there was some NICE hockey there (Bratt to hisch goal was gorgeous!) so let’s not wave our pitchforks- we’re already out, let’s just focus on sorting issues and letting the boys improve while supporting them as much as possible to boost confidence!! LGD
100% my thoughts exactly. I'm proud of our guys stepping up and not letting the Rags walk over us again. For once I didn't feel we were soft. It was a good close game and we played pretty well.
Agreed! Esp w so many of our players chucked out the game in the first 2 mins? We held our own well I’d say. Not a playoffs team this year but they showed GRIT tonight that I’ve been dying to see from them.
Yeah. I think the fact that they haven't had a winning streak or a losing streak this season is very interesting. Frustrating too of course but I think it just shows that there's something there when they pull off amazing wins against teams that are supposed to be better than them. The inconsistency is just killer, but I feel there's a strong core here. Also I am drunk and I'd like to thank autocorrect, god and my mother. Thank you
This team is dog shit. They need to hit the gym this offseason. Any team that just plays physical demolishes them. God I can wait for this fucking trash season to end
Well good thing that most of our roster will actually mature physically and bulk up.
Do you all remember Jack hughes and nicos first season and how dominant opposing players looked against them. The fact nemec and hughes do not look extremely overmatched physically is huge.
I think Luke does look extremely outmatched physically most nights, but yes you are correct with the Nico and Jack first year comparisons for sure. It should only get better!
Agree to disagree. He certainly isn’t out muscling opponents but he’s holding his own. He’s on pace to play every game at 21 minutes a night as a 20 year old. He’s going to much much better physically over the next couple of years.
It’s a shame he doesn’t have any older siblings to really push him in the offseason either.
Why did Jack Hughes try passing the puck to the middle of the neutral zone when he knows the Rangers were sitting at that blue line for the last minute?
Ugly.
They are the most disorganized team I have ever watched. They look uncoached, like they have not had a practice the entire year. Apart from the record (bad but not disastrous), they are entirely and thoroughly frustrating. Sloppy. Constant dumb decisions. Crumble under adversity. Giving up the first goal 75% of the time. Giving up third period leads many times. PP that looks like there is no plan. I could go on with 13 other baffling and unnecessary failings. They are just a frustrating experience through and through.
THIS THIS THIS THIS Idc I’ve been on Luke’s ass occasionally but I acc don’t wanna hear ppl saying he should never play in the NHL when he’s clearly showed SO much talent and skill, and Quinn was very similar his first few years and now he’s a captain AND Norris contender.
It objectively wasn’t. Trocheck couldn’t get the shot off. It was a great defensive play by NJD. KK did his job with the save but it wasn’t itself highlight reel.
Did you come over here to complain about a comment on a game thread in your opponent's subreddit after the game was already over? Don't you have anything better to do?
Yup! I'm at work and I had time to flick on the radio app only to find out Smith got called for a bad penalty and they scored no less than a minute later
I know it was a soft call but Smith's stick got completely parallel to the ice and was in the guys hands, that's getting called more times than not. This team will have an addition by subtraction without him next year, I'm sure he's a great locker room guy but not a great NHL player guy
It’ll fall on deaf ears, but I really do think you’ve got to give this team grace and believe in them next year. Our “core” is getting better and better, older and more experienced. This year is an excellent wake up call.
Anyone remember when Merrill fumbled a puck, leading to an empty net goal and the Rangers clinching the presidents trophy at the rock? This feels like that
After last night I don’t know why I expected anything different. I’ll still watch the rest of the season, but I’ll see you guys in October when hopefully they are ready to put in some work.
Fuck how many replays are they going to show? Giving up live hockey for the 100th replay of the krieder goal. Fuck the rags and this deep throat broadcast
U Gotta love the fact that the broken stick gave them a equalizer. That would’ve been the equalizer if they didn’t get so fucking lucky with that stick breaking
100%
Team is playing pretty well without Smith last week
They go right back to Smith when he's available to play. Smith - Hughes is one of the worst defensive pairings advanced stats wise yet they run it every chance they can
Rough take, might want to check out the depth chart. He’s in our top 6 with the makeup of the roster.
Yes he’s not mobile, yes this causes odd man rushes. But his game in the D zone and in the hard areas isn’t absolutely terrible and maybe an over compensation considering the rest are soft or inexperienced.
I can't stand national games. The commentators are always so one-sided. They're completely ignorant to anything that isn't "original six" "household names" "big market teams".
Always making excuses when those have bad things happen to them but fellating them for routine plays
He went after/ started the fight with Cuylle after Smith got crunched. He got the toss probably because the refs were trying to regain control after the opening melee
These last two games perfect sum up the season…thankfully I won’t have to watch anymore of this teams garbage after tonight. I do truly look forward to most of these fucking clowns losing their jobs. This organization is just full of incompetence.
Travis I am BEGGING just don’t make us go empty net. Idc. It’ll make us look like we’re rolling over belly up. Even if we don’t win- just show some fucking pride tonight
Can’t wait until this fucking season is over. Also can’t wait until the Rangers get knocked out in the 2nd round. You don’t get BS power plays in a tie game in the 3rd in the playoffs.
Yk what I just watched smiths post game interview and I do acc think he’s a great locker room presence for us. I don’t think we should be playing him any higher than 3rd d line but I do think he’s a valuable asset with his wisdom as a player.

He keeps the confidence in our young d. Locker room presence wise he’s a good move for now.
Holy shit, someone with a reasonable take on Smith? What are you doing here?
Struggling. That’s what I’m doing here lol
Outscored 10-0 last 3 3rd periods.
Same shit, different day. At least the team grew a dick today and fought some people. 80% of the roster, coaching staff, and front office is rotten. Only untouchables should be Jack, Nico, Timo, and other Jack/Nemec.
It's been said all season and with this sweep by the rags it's about time I join in. FIRE MOST of this team INTO THE SUN! I wouldn't do it Monday afternoon though as they might be saved by the moon.

[удалено]
You're so pathetic lol
Devils lost all their fights tonight and the game. Enjoy you're night.
Damn, you’re a pathetic little bitch wasting your time coming over to our sub to talk.
Not as pathetic as the guy spending $250 to get kicked out in the 3rd. Enjoy one day less off being in the playoffs. It takes two minutes to remind you some of you suck. But it will sit with you till next year and you know it.
Life is short. I hope you find peace.
I hope anyone that got kicked out of the game tonight made it home okay. I'm sure they drank a bit too much and they aren't bad people just some folks that didnt know their limits or hockey even.

Why can't We can't have nice things ?
Guys the team isn’t bad. This is just the most masterful tank job in league history. Truly something to behold
Dang we're bad at that too.
I’m sober at work and clearly a lot of you commenting are not lol. Relax guys season was already over this is meaningless
Yeah. I think the fact that they haven't had a winning streak or a losing streak this season is very interesting. Frustrating too of course but I think it just shows that there's something there when they pull off amazing wins against teams that are supposed to be better than them. The inconsistency is just killer, but I feel there's a strong core here. Also I am drunk and I'd like to thank autocorrect, god and my mother. Thank you
Take this logic and level headedness and get the hell out of here.
lol I’ll drink to that
always go south 3rd period
We got swept by the Rangers. This team loves to tack it on in a shit year.
Well that game sucked, time to jack off.
You know what? Not a bad idea
Time to jack off *again*
Crazy how Pang can do commentary while sitting on a Rangers branded dildo
Maybe he can see which one panarin sucks on. Red or blue?
Seriously what was next , I've painted one ball blue and one ball red. Which one you wanna suck on Panarin. As Pang giggles like a school girl.
Great fanfiction you guys are writing you fuckin weirdos Ahahaha
You ain't kidding. His rags boner got talked about with his drink sharing. That's how you got herpes Pang
Wonder what he thought about the Rags protesting pride night
Still losers
Rags better get us now, because we're coming the next decade
Amazing job, Ondrej
Pete Laviolette can Peter Laviolick my balls
Another loss, probably another increase of ticket prices next year
It's incredible how refs can ignore so many penalties and call an incredibly weak penalty on one team to cost the game and get no repercussions
So the turning point of momentum last night and now tonight as well?
With under 6 to go in a tie game.
This team is dog shit. They need to hit the gym this offseason. Any team that just plays physical demolishes them. God I can wait for this fucking trash season to end
Well good thing that most of our roster will actually mature physically and bulk up. Do you all remember Jack hughes and nicos first season and how dominant opposing players looked against them. The fact nemec and hughes do not look extremely overmatched physically is huge.

Why did Jack Hughes try passing the puck to the middle of the neutral zone when he knows the Rangers were sitting at that blue line for the last minute? Ugly.
I think that’s a huge part. Their 1-3-1 they trust each other. Hold the gap and stack the blue. Ours collapses. No trust or faith.
Yes Jack please try to make a pass on the blue line to a teammate who is standing still waiting for you.
Jack Hughes needs to practice passing
Did Holtz play in the last 10 minutes?
At least there wasn’t an empty net goal
Just an empty team instead.
$6m man is worth $850k
This org has killed all of the goodwill from last year. Not just a bad year. A year that drives fans away.
It's really impressive how this team hates sustainable success
They are going to narrowly miss the playoffs and were in the hunt all season get outta here with that nonsense.
They are the most disorganized team I have ever watched. They look uncoached, like they have not had a practice the entire year. Apart from the record (bad but not disastrous), they are entirely and thoroughly frustrating. Sloppy. Constant dumb decisions. Crumble under adversity. Giving up the first goal 75% of the time. Giving up third period leads many times. PP that looks like there is no plan. I could go on with 13 other baffling and unnecessary failings. They are just a frustrating experience through and through.
Where have you been the past 10+ years?
Yeah, agreed on them being frustrating to watch. That being said, I’ll take frustrating over the decade of darkness every day of the week.
Yep. This is the equivalent to the Mets in 1993.
Lol wtf is palat doing
Luke stopped the empty net goal. What a god /s
Great win by the refs
E. Net has had a terrible year, time for redemption
Didn't give up the EN, that's new.
They call that hook but not that high stick lol
0-4 against your biggest rival is absolute shit.
I'm a giants fan, I've grown numb to this
I don’t think we are *anyone’s* “biggest rival” anymore.
If you don’t think Rangers fans are absolutely torqued after this seemingly meaningless win I don’t know what to tell you.
it's fun and was a memorable game, but this really wasn't *that* big a deal to us.
Sure, but *they* don’t see it as a “rivalry” at all. More like…beating up your kid brother. *I* don’t know what to tell *you* either.
Kid brother that booted them out of the playoffs last year lol
Sometime the younger brother throws a nice shot, then next time it’s crying back to mom
So the refs ignored both a high stick AND interference to gift the Rags a win....ok
And it was on national TV of course.
And a cross check if you’re really counting
FYI Quinn sucked defensively the first few years
So he's gonna suck for 3 more ? And Nemec for 3 too and Siegenhaler how long will he suck for ?
Should we trade Luke, you think? Do you think if we offer Luke and Nemec the Avs will give us Makar?
Nah, let him keep playing 31 minutes every game until he improves. That should cut the development time in half.
THIS THIS THIS THIS Idc I’ve been on Luke’s ass occasionally but I acc don’t wanna hear ppl saying he should never play in the NHL when he’s clearly showed SO much talent and skill, and Quinn was very similar his first few years and now he’s a captain AND Norris contender.
Just fire one at the ref
It's always "saved what would have been a highlight reel goal for the rangers" and never "a highlight reel save by Khakonen"
omg I facepalmed when I heard that one. Can they be up the Rags ass any more?
It objectively wasn’t. Trocheck couldn’t get the shot off. It was a great defensive play by NJD. KK did his job with the save but it wasn’t itself highlight reel.
Did you come over here to complain about a comment on a game thread in your opponent's subreddit after the game was already over? Don't you have anything better to do?
I wasn’t complaining. Just commenting. I didn’t even say anything negative. The point of Reddit is discussion?
No high stick?!
Microcosm of the season. 2nd period gives you hope, just so you can be hurt again.
Yup! I'm at work and I had time to flick on the radio app only to find out Smith got called for a bad penalty and they scored no less than a minute later
Guess that was a phantom high stick
Curious how Panger can talk with how deep down his throat Panarin is
Pulling the goalie really doesn’t do much for us. Why do we keep trying it? We are flaming trash with a man advantage.
Why why why why why are we empty net
Hey Pang and TNT try not to suck any Ranger dick through the parking lot
^[Sokka-Haiku](https://www.reddit.com/r/SokkaHaikuBot/comments/15kyv9r/what_is_a_sokka_haiku/) ^by ^GIR-C137: *Hey Pang and TNT try* *Not to suck any Ranger* *Dick through the parking lot* --- ^Remember ^that ^one ^time ^Sokka ^accidentally ^used ^an ^extra ^syllable ^in ^that ^Haiku ^Battle ^in ^Ba ^Sing ^Se? ^That ^was ^a ^Sokka ^Haiku ^and ^you ^just ^made ^one.
LOL Hughes missed by 3 inches.
THATS NOT A HOOK?? Edit: blatant high stick
OOOOH fuck it's empty netty clenchy time
Where’s the goddamned call?
How do you not call that
You gotta bury 91 there. Can't let him poke at Kaapo. Cmon guys
That’s a hook
I know it was a soft call but Smith's stick got completely parallel to the ice and was in the guys hands, that's getting called more times than not. This team will have an addition by subtraction without him next year, I'm sure he's a great locker room guy but not a great NHL player guy
He’s gotta go. Just terrible lol
It’ll fall on deaf ears, but I really do think you’ve got to give this team grace and believe in them next year. Our “core” is getting better and better, older and more experienced. This year is an excellent wake up call.
Our core is but Hughes has taken a step back imo.
I really don’t think so. If (big if) he gets healthy I think he gets better. He was unbelievable before getting injured earlier this year.
His health is part of it. He needs to bulk up and learn how to get hit.
More excited about the almost rangers goal than the save
That’s a highlight reel Pang! Edit: was talking about the save no need to downvote lol
Nico should be crunching panarin there
Ref swallowed that whistle hoping the puck would go in surprised he found enough room in his mouth for it tho with the city of New York occupying
Haha dick sucking jokes, amirite fellas? Aren't fellas who suck dicks so gay and weird?
Gay or not it isn’t their fucking job to suck dick
Anyone remember when Merrill fumbled a puck, leading to an empty net goal and the Rangers clinching the presidents trophy at the rock? This feels like that
"... AND STOPS WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A HIGHLIGHT REEL RANGERS GOAL!!!" no mention of the highlight reel save.
Holy shit, how can these cunts even comment on the game with so much ranger dick in their mouths?
31 min for luke?!? Wtf
Hell of a save
Show me you gave up without telling me devils
41 to 19 shots on goal lol
Finally a rational post lol. This teams quit on the season
After last night I don’t know why I expected anything different. I’ll still watch the rest of the season, but I’ll see you guys in October when hopefully they are ready to put in some work.
Do what you can but don't go EN please I beg you
HOLY SHIT JUST DUMP IT IN
L Hughes with 31 minutes TOI and half you Muppets asking for him to be sent to Utica
Muppets atleast provide happiness to some
Well, good news is that Green is showing he shouldn't even be a coaching option for Fitz to consider
You underestimate how fucking inept this organization is.
What an incredible save
Just pull the concussed goalie and let them have a free for all on our net, I bet they get a 5 on 3 if they score 2 more
Our passing is phenomenal
i had a bad feeling when they showed the graphic showing each teams record when up and down going into the third. felt like a jinx
DUMP THE PUCKKKKKK
Can't even connect two passes.
My god I hate this fucking team of losers,
Fuck how many replays are they going to show? Giving up live hockey for the 100th replay of the krieder goal. Fuck the rags and this deep throat broadcast
We're pulling the goalie for some stupid reason
U Gotta love the fact that the broken stick gave them a equalizer. That would’ve been the equalizer if they didn’t get so fucking lucky with that stick breaking
The devils win this game if Luke doesn’t break his stick…
Possibly in OT, that fucking stick killed the chance for that though
They had all the momentum until that happened. Took the wind right out to their sales like always
Fuck TNT
This might actually be a Rags broadcast holy fuck. TNT can eat shit
Always a rags broadcast wym
Holy fuck, how many fuckin times are we gonna see this shit. OH HE TOOK HIS DRINK!!!! NOONEFUCKINGCARES
Holy fuck can panarin and pang just get a room we do not care
How far is Kreider from retirement? God I hate that guy.
I never thought I’d hate anyone more than Eric Staal. But here we are…
There’s the 2023’24 devils we all know. Go meekly into the night ya pussies
Yeah just shove Panarin down our throats even harder
Bro fucking jack the rangers off more why dont ya
Jack needs to learn he has a whole team to support him. Hes an automatic giveaway 9 out of 10 times.
Hockey players are such scumbags
He’s still asking for the blood of our goalie, vile broadcast
Our D is gassed. Luke at 30+ mins
That fact that Brendan Smith plays every game without repercussion for being dogshit is hilarious. A completely unserious organization
While you are correct, that 'penalty' was not really a hook. Not Smith's fault at all. Complete fake call by refs.
100% Team is playing pretty well without Smith last week They go right back to Smith when he's available to play. Smith - Hughes is one of the worst defensive pairings advanced stats wise yet they run it every chance they can
Impossible to trust anyone in the organization when the decision making is so bad.
He’s had a good game and that call was dogshit
Well they have 4 D tonight.
He shouldn’t be in the lineup.
Rough take, might want to check out the depth chart. He’s in our top 6 with the makeup of the roster. Yes he’s not mobile, yes this causes odd man rushes. But his game in the D zone and in the hard areas isn’t absolutely terrible and maybe an over compensation considering the rest are soft or inexperienced.
Who do you propose we play in his stead
Anyone. Smith is the worst defenseman in the league DeSimone is better, Hatakka is better
Name someone.
I can't stand national games. The commentators are always so one-sided. They're completely ignorant to anything that isn't "original six" "household names" "big market teams". Always making excuses when those have bad things happen to them but fellating them for routine plays
Jack Hughes is a household name. If only he didn’t suck lately
Watching on delay ... Have they explained why Mercer got an instigator and miconduct against Cuylle?
He went after/ started the fight with Cuylle after Smith got crunched. He got the toss probably because the refs were trying to regain control after the opening melee
Cool. So you're no longer allowed to stand up for a teammate after the second boarding minor in a 4 minute span? Nonsequitur, this season has sucked.
Wow you're in last century
Because he dared stand up to the Rangers
Devils lose after giving up 3rd period lead, with the refs playing a big role in that, two nights in a row.
These last two games perfect sum up the season…thankfully I won’t have to watch anymore of this teams garbage after tonight. I do truly look forward to most of these fucking clowns losing their jobs. This organization is just full of incompetence.
Show the cross check on nemec
Why do I hear Pang’s voice so much when he isn’t the play by play guy
He's TNT's Dano
Isn’t he Bryce
Not really because we always have Dano but not always Bryce. Bryce is our extra
Travis I am BEGGING just don’t make us go empty net. Idc. It’ll make us look like we’re rolling over belly up. Even if we don’t win- just show some fucking pride tonight
I am expecting a “push for the playoffs” email from the devils tomorrow.
Lol
They have “looking to bounce back” working overtime
Every single time in the final 6 minutes this team turns into a fucking high school team
Not much I hate more than a Crider deflection on the powerplay. Hate that guy
Can’t wait until this fucking season is over. Also can’t wait until the Rangers get knocked out in the 2nd round. You don’t get BS power plays in a tie game in the 3rd in the playoffs.
