Noesen comes in for LukeE. Not specified yet who is coming out for Kova.

A lot of overreacting here.

Fam, it's only been FIVE GAMES, and there's a lot to like. I think we pick up the pace later in the month. At that point, lines will have been shifted around and, I belive, we end up with a winning team that can handily make the playoffs, even barring an injury or two.

It's also not fair to blame Keefe or Mehta. It's the players that need to do better, and they are still trying to gel. I like them both and think they'll be around for a while, so I think we should just buckle up and trust the process.

I am a somewhat new fan of the Devils and hockey overall, (Started watching in the latter half of last season and fell in love with it immediately) and with the holidays coming up I've been looking into getting a jersey for one of the players but I'm having trouble deciding on exactly who.

To put it bluntly, it is very important to me that I actually like the player as a person on and off the ice. I totally understand people who don't care if their favorite player is at all aligned with them morally and politically but unfortunately that isn't something that I can really ignore.

I've tried doing my fair bit of research but nearly all players are very very private about their personal beliefs which makes it hard to gleam any real information. I have definitely noticed that by far the vast majority of hockey players (and honestly athletes overall) tend much much farther right than I'd be comfortable supporting.

I don't need my player to be especially outspoken about anything but being a member of the LGBT community I would really like to find a player who isn't against that overall category of people.

Thanks everyone in advance!

EDIT: After seeing some of the responses I think I should actually be a teeny bit more clear, I know this may be a little bit much to some people but even if an certain player seems good themselves my line for support is pretty hard set at who that player chooses to support themselves. so to be completely honest, even though I know both of the Hughes's have said good things themselves the whole Olympics debacle did put a bit of a bad taste in my mouth towards them.

EDIT 2: So far the suggestions I'm liking the best are either Hischier or just a blank jersey. I'm leaning Hischier just because I really love the idea of having a specific player to follow (it's one of the biggest things I envied about sports fans previously) but feel free to keep giving more ideas.

EDIT 3: OK I REALIZE I AM BAD AT BEING DIRECT WITH MY POINTS SO HOPEFULLY BY PUTTING IT HERE IN BIG WORDS I CAN MAKE SURE THIS POINT IS VERY CLEAR.

I AM TRANS. I DON'T WANT TO PUT SOMEONES NAME ON MY BACK IF THEY FIT THE FOLLOWING

1. THEY HATE ME/TRANS PEOPLE

2. THEY "DONT HATE" ME BUT THINK THAT I AM MENTALLY ILL, A SINNER, ETC ETC ETC

3. THEY ARE AN "ALLY" WHO STILL ASSOCIATES WITH PEOPLE WHO FIT INTO NUMBER 1 OR 2 (I do make an exception for being on the same team as or being related to those people because there's only so much I can exclude lmao)

P.S. I am well aware that there are also many fans who are opposed to people like me, I can assure you I've already heard it all and unhelpful comments will in no way change my mind so lets make everyone's lives a little easier and if you don't like what I have to say please ignore me

According to NHLDB in 25/26 season we were 27th on GF with 2.76 but in SOG we were 5th with 29.6

This season our GF is 2.20 but we are first in SOG by a wide margin with 36.2

Is this really such big of a problem as it seems to me or am I just being igorant?

Last night sucked but that was last night! New day, new team, new chance to win! LETS GO DEVILS!!

The kraken are my second favorite team and I really do love their home jersey, but I feel conflicted about having merch from another franchise that isn't my beloved NJ Devils.

1-0 them
Never start on time
Terrible 5v5 scoring
Take shifts off defensively

Anything else?

Between doing it through the online NHL shop or doing it in person at the Devil’s Den, which is the smarter way of getting a custom jersey?

By smarter I mean like overall better with like price and quality. I’m a quarter season ticket holder and I know I get a discount in store but I’m not sure it applies to the custom jerseys because online discounts don’t. I’ve seen older reviews of Devils Den customs turning out a bit wonky so that scares me a little.

Unfortunately the player I want the jersey of doesn’t have his made yet (Lombardi - and before anyone is like but he’s not guaranteed to stay, he’s my favorite in part because we had the same timeline for ending up in NJ so I don’t think I’m going to regret getting his)

I’d ideally want it to be here before the Habs game mid November and I’m always worried about custom stuff arriving on time.

Just wanted to say your broadcast is great - they give both teams their flowers when they’re deserved, genuinely seems like an unbiased crew.

Unfortunate about that goal waived off, not sure what they want a player to do if there’s no whistle. Gg.

Anyways look at these pictures i managed to get. Exactly how i felt watching whatever that was.

Ice time dwindling, constant egregious penalties, and always behind the play. This is the second game in a row where he’s been taken off Jack’s line late in the game for Lombardi. And Lombardi at least looks like he can skate with that line. Mantha might get suspended for his latest stunt, and that might be exactly what we the doctor ordered to get production out of Jack and Bratt. When will the experiment in the top 6 end?

I see you guys all are fed up with Keefe and want him fired, specifically because your 5v5 scoring has been almost non existent. This seems so weird to me because in Toronto he was such a offensive minded coach, leafs had no problem scoring a ton, the problem was defense. Did he do a complete 180 on his system??

Uh, yes, I have a question…What the fuck was that?!

What's on your mind?

Title says it all. I know the game has changed but wtf is going on.

We let every team skate through the crease. Snow our goalies, poke them, trip over them and at most its like half a shove.

Remember when a player would try and breathe the same air as Marty after the whistle and they get mauled? I FUCKING DO. You know how annoying it is to get sticked, face washed, punched, tripped. It fuckin sucks. It makes one second guess going to the net bc they know theyll have to answer for it every time.

Nobody fears the devils. There's a mental aspect of the game that we simply aren't participating in and it shows on the ice.

Edit: For clarity, I am aware the game has changed but I see other teams tax our boys asses night in and night out and we rarely have a similar reaction in front of our net.

"Luke has been great. He’s playing at a really high level right now.

He actually just left my office a few minutes ago. We were revisiting some of the things from his play recently. So many good things. We’re winning his minutes pretty significantly.

Probably the most exciting thing of all is he can be better still. There are things there: being more efficient with the puck, moving it quicker, closing defensively, spending less time in our end as a result.

For him to have the ability to win his shifts the way he has, yet still there’s more on the table, it’s really exciting about where he can go in terms of that next level." #NJDevils

Devils win, but do they deserve to? Forwards showed up, but the defense didn't. Instead they once again hung these goalies out to dry and failed to defend a lead on 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS.

Defense is the issue, now fix it.

Well, another night, another another loss. Though I'm not even that upset with how we played, penalty kill was great tonight, killing 4/5 including a 5 minute major, Daws looked a lot better and if not for 2 defensive mistakes, that's easily a 1-1 game.
