Ahh man, that stinks. He was the color guy for the Devils ages ago (and ex-player). Saw him signing autographs after a game once, seemed thrilled to be interacting with the fans. Can still picture his big smile! RIP

I just hope the wheels don't come off and they miss the playoffs. But for now its fun to watch!

Isn't that what most houses in Toronto look like?

Here's one for Don Koharski...

No puck luck for the Devils tonight. 1 goal doesn't count, then hit a post. Maybe Leafs can score again soon so that they have "the most dangerous lead in hockey".

I never should have brought up Don Koharski!

Oh well, that was a fun streak. Crazy game for sure, never saw a player kick a puck away from the net and have the goal disallowed. And a goalie gets rewarded for making a shitty clearing attempt and bumping into somebody on the way back to his net. The ghost of Don Koharski strikes again! (yes I know he's still alive)

The most dangerous lead in hockey strikes again!

Adam Fox with the hat trick tonight. Unfortunately for him two were on his own goalie. Crazy game going on, 5 goals in 5 min.

Well that didn't take long.

If only the Devils had been able to sign Gaudreau they could be playing as well as Columbus right now. Oh well...

Letang back already. Good for him, I just hope his issues don't return.

Man the wheels have come off for the Devils! Was fun while it lasted.

Working on 6. They seem to still be outplaying most teams, but zero puck luck.

Seattle with 6 goals on 7 shots (so far). That's gotta be some kinda record.

This is kinda creative...

Go Devils!

One is probably me, was having trouble with the number of games picks on my phone, then never got back to fighting with it. Would only let me pick it for about half the series.

Thanks, I'll try to finish up today.

Can't get the submit button to light up for some reason. Very frustrating. At least it let me pick the number of game for all games in the first round. Maybe I'll try on a different machine.

Did that and had # of goals in, so those were not the issue. Finally worked on laptop, so I'm good now. Buggy indeed!!!

Maybe just a Windows 7 thing, it would not light up the submit button in both Chrome and Firefox. Had no problem in Chrome on a Windows 11 machine. The layout is not that confusing, it just doesn't work properly.

More importantly so is NJ/NY.

Hmmm, Leafs might not crumble this year after all.

Now that the Leafs are on to round 2, I hope they put up a fight against Boston.

Probably just wants a decent length summer vacation.

0 for 2, hopefully your streak continues, I need MN to win.

Suddenly seems like it's anyone's cup.

Well, that was highly enjoyable.

Domi was a douche in his playing days and still is. Somewhat recent example...

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tie-domi-calls-scott-stevens-the-biggest-phony-i-ever-played-against-030104333.html

Get over yourself, you cupless loser.

Others came and went, but Probert was the man.

Tough to win when you have less shots than the other team has goals.

Meh, not surprised they had a let down game after the Rangers series. They played Carolina pretty well during the regular season, so we'll see. And who knows which Devils team will show up each night. That being said, I think I have Carolina in 6 in the bracket and probably would not change given the option.

By go do mean leave? If so, they seem to be listening.

Carolina falling right into their trap, just like the Rangers. Tomorrow they'll start thinking about round three, and next they know they're hittin' the links.

Did we talk about how he was on the ice for the Oilers first 14 goals of the playoffs? That's even more insane!

That was one crazy game!

Guess I'm pulling for Anaheim at this point.

I'll settle for that. Was happy it was not Columbus, didn't need them getting him.

Old high school buddy Bob Wischusen calling the game on ESPN tonight. Used to play street hockey in his driveway.

Yeah, this is not going as planned!

Yup, looks like the Devils are out of gas. I'm sure the tough Rangers series took its toll. Would be nice if they had an extra day off sometime during the series to recoup a bit. Not dead yet, and hockey can be funny, so we'll see.

Remember that time they called like 4 goals back on the Devils vs. Toronto.

They should, it's the only round 2 going the distance.

I'd prefer a game 7, just predicting Vegas.

At least you don't have to worry about the Seals.

If Vegas a Dallas win, the final 4 will all be south of Virginia, kinda crazy. Guess it would be the non-frozen 4.

I have Minnesota beating Vegas and Boston beating Carolina, so I guess I'm done also.

Looks like I'll be bumped down to at least 4th no matter what. Guess I should have picked Old-Minnesota rather than New-Minnesota to make the finals. Was going to go with one or the other, but went with the Wild figuring nobody else would.

They should move to Atlanta so Canada can get another team.

I think a high percentage of arena/stadium funding referendums fail. That's why you constantly see politicians and team owners trying to avoid if possible. Field of Schemes is an interesting website where you can follow all the craziness that goes on...

NJ West (aka Switzerland) with another win! Only 2 Devils playing for them unfortunately.

Oops, I mean EAST. F in Geography for me today.

Well now you'll be up all night for nothing!

Can it really be 4 out of 4 OTs in this round???

Can't believe the Panthers and Heat are both up 3-0 considering they're both 8 seeds.

Good point, but if they both get through Boston, pretty impressive. Of course the Panthers did have a bye in round 2.

Indeed! We joke, but hockey sure is funny that way. Just gotta get hot at the right time.

Jonathan Quick is always the first one that comes to my mind.

I'm kinda pulling for Florida and Vegas. Like to see somebody win that hasn't before.

Hated him in 2012, loved him in 2014. Yup, would love to see him win another one.

Well that might be the dumbest penalty ever!

Doesn't sound like Benn taking full responsibility. "Yeah, I just fell on him, that's the ticket. I was distracted by my wife, uh...Morgan Fairchild".

Might as well challenge, nothing to lose.

Yfz450 still in it and looking more likely.

That's the other thing I need to order! New ladder balls. Was just trying to remember while out walking. I owe ya one!

Very nice! Looks much sturdier than my store bought version.

37

What's the mercy rule in hockey?

You mean guys who actually won a cup?

How dare you insult Secaucus NJ!

That's quite a cap hit! Guess they're counting on a big jump next year.

Must be trying to keep him from signing a deal with the Devils in a few years. But yeah, I agree, excellent decision.

Why not, I'm pretty sure they were voted "Team most likely to move to Australia".

Well the Habs got their 1 already.

This guy might win our town annual scarecrow contest....

Jack Hughes is on pace for a 246 point season. I'll be nice and settle for 216. Who knows how much he'll really end up with, but sure is fun to watch.

Even while sleeping and showering?

Hate losing to the Rangers!!!

Nice betting! Very generous!

Thanks, you also!!!

I can't wait until he signs with the Devils!

At least he went out with a bang!

This story didn't age well, pretty funny wording...

Gotta wonder if this is the first time a team ever scored the first 4 goals in a game and the other team came back to tie it up all in one period? Crazy! Guess the Sharks have found their scoring touch.

5-0 is the new most dangerous lead in hockey.

Ughhh, two Devils.

Going to the Devils game tonight. I'd wear a Jersey, but with all the injuries and arrests I'm afraid they put me in.

Great seats tonight...

No, front row upper deck.

Shocking win! Had a great time!

Yeah, this season is a bust. Losing their 2 top +/- guys probably didn't help (Tatar/Graves). Hamilton was #5 +/- last year and missed almost the whole season. Poor goal tending didn't help, but they were hung out to dry most nights.

Rough night if you're a Flyers fan!

Flyer are out with Detroit getting a point. I assume they know it and will not put in much of an effort to tie.

I should get my kids to sign up, they like pinball and hockey.

If only they had named them the Roadrunners they probably would have had 4 cups by now. Did they not learn anything from Looney Tunes!
