Devils vs. Rangers

Tonight's Game was a big disappointment for any fan. We understand that for the standings tonight's game was huge for the Rangers but had very little value for the Devils. Or maybe that's what many think. There has been an emotional let down since the big 552. Tonight's game did have value for all us fans. This is a big time rivalry and it means everything for the fans. Not to mention there is still a strong chance we will be seeing the boys in blue again in the playoffs. It also was a chance to potentially keep the cross river rivals out of the playoffs. We still believe in you Devils we have all the faith. It is just a little disappointing being shut out by a team that has struggled way worse then we have all season. The refs have been bad, we all see it and we all sit up in the crazy section chanting "a$$hole" to the refs, but it's not the refs letting up 40+ shots on goal a game. Our defense is solid why are we backing off the blue line all of a sudden?

Offensively, why do we not place people in front of the net? (like other teams) I remember a few years ago Gionta getting 48 goals, most of those in front of the net. A lot of Parises goals this year have been off of rebounds. I believe we have the talent to bring the puck into the zone under control instead of dump and chase. Let's take a few tricks from other teams playbooks. They seem to work!

Please for the state of New Jersey and all the fan's that have been cheering all season; Regain that passion and fight for it. This is OUR YEAR!

Goodluck in Pittsburgh.
