Well, 7 points out, 10 games to go. Boston tonight, Pit on Friday, Buffalo Saturday. All on the road. This is the season for my Devils. They really can't afford to lose more than 2 of the remaining 10, and that's going off last year's stats of needing ~ 88 pts to make the playoffs in the East. That they're even in the race is amazing, but these next three games will help solidify any real hopes of a true miracle in the making.
Still no word on Parise either. Since it's playoff time I assume he'll just be in the lineup one night without any hype for a week prior. I just hope it's soon.

Im a true fan and i support them even though they are crap but sometimes I think my sunday night hockey team could beat them...... |

Looks like last night basically put the nail in the coffin. Now 9 points out with 9 to go. Would need to basically go 9-0 WITH help of other teams losing. Not impossible, but not holding my breath. Still though, I'm really proud of my team. They took a totally lost season and made it exciting again. I'm still holding out hope though. It's never over till it's over.

The real bitch of it is that if they did make it they'd have a really good chance at going far. With the exception of Washington, the top teams in the East are skidding badly. And Washington really needs to count on lots of offense (which they have) because their goalies are young and not playoff proven.

did anybody elses team run a deal like the Blues
Certain tickets about 4000 seats, you would buy season tickets and pay half. You only had to pay the other half if the Blues made the playoffs. It was part of their "Every Game Counts" promotions kinda a good idea provided they made the playoffs. Now the owners are looking for buyers for the team...... |

Not sure how much sense that makes. Definitely out of the question for the Devils. They just built a new arena and the majority owners partners were already looking to sell their share shortly after the Kovalchuk signing.

def an impressive 2nd half for the devils and its too bad they couldn't have played like that just even a month sooner. The sabres turned themselves around just in time earlier in the season and i'm really looking forward to the playoffs. obviously they still could not make the playoffs but with how they have been playing, its really going to be tough for carolina to catch them.

I think the way the East sits right now is the way they will enter the playoffs, perhaps with Washington and Philly switching positions. Whoever comes out of the East should have an advantage in the Finals as the West teams will be beating the crap out of each other as usual. If Vancouver ends up playing Chicago in the first round, that may be the only way the Canucks will be ousted. I don't see any other team matching up well against them in either conference. The only hope for the East is if Washington gets consistent high quality goaltending.
It's gonna be a fun Playoffs. Just as long as the Rangers don't win I'll be happy. They're more balanced than in previous years. A lot more depth and Lundqvist is an animal. I just hate them.

I saw them play the Rangers in the playoffs recently, and way back in 98 I saw them play Buffalo en route to the only cup final they've ever played in. |
