This is how I felt during the streak. We still have one more game to close this series.
KNICKS AND DEVILS BEEN WINNING ALL WEEK ITS A GREAT WEEK TO BE ME
As a side note we are currently 3 for 3 when I eat an entire bag of Herseys chocolate covered pretzels halfway through the 2nd period
It’s so funny how much the rangers were talking themselves up after TWO games in the series. Saying stuff like the devils can’t keep up their style of play in the playoffs, their experience is better, the 5-1 scores tell a lot about the devils, yada yada. It’s so funny how all that held up.
Fuck the rangers
3 and 0 when I eat a sleeve of Double Stuff Oreos
That was euphoric.
The Rangers looked like they didn’t even want to be there after the shorty.
Playoff experience difference doesn’t mean shit if that’s how you react to adversity.
Our boys saw Games 1 and 2 and said “nah we’re good with that” and tightened the screws and here we are.
FINISH IT.
A few days ago, when I was in NY wearing my devs cap, some kids on skateboards said ‘its over’. Devils won 3 games since then.
Friends, be respectful if you go over to the Rags sub. But – check out their negative energy out there. Felt like this place 3 games ago, with the fire the coach, no commitment, etc. Fans (theirs or ours) overreact to the negativity or positivity.
Just feels good to be on our side right now. This was a statement win. As Lindy just said – players are relaxing, and playing our game again, and it’s all clicking again.
Surgical. Go Devils
Once it got to 2-2 it was obvious that Game 6 at MSG was going to be intense.
But, uh…. FTR!! LGD!!!
Out of our UFAs Haula needs to be priority number 1 to re sign next year. Most valuable role player we’ve had on this team since Coleman
On a flight and had no wifi. So pissed to miss but I guess this means one thing. Time to get on a plane Saturday! LFG!
Akira Schmid only needs 23 more playoff shutouts to catch Marty!
Devils 5
Rags 2
Devils win Series 4-2
See ya in round 2.
Yall see how Igor went to rangers bench and shouted “wake up!”. I ate that up
let’s end it in the garden🤪
Schmid was excellent, and the Devils only allowed 23 shots on goal. It almost reminds me of the dynasty Devils teams.
Kudos to Haula, Hischier, and Mercer for showing the best of what two-way players can do.
By the way, Graves and Marino looked strong defensively when we really needed them to be.
wore my jacky jersey for games 1-2, plain black hoodie for 3-5, sometimes you gotta simplify your game
From a Kraken fan, y’all are absolutely inspirational. Dead in the water down 0-2 and then clawing back and winning 3 in a row. Hockey is amazing.
Let not get too cocky guys. Jobs not done. Game 6 gonna be tough as fuck. Gotta stay focused.
Old and slow Patty Kane looking extremely old and slow
why did people have bread?
Even that shit referee Rooney couldn’t slow us down tonight.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen any…”the devils play such a boring game”
So fucking hyped after the win!! Just one more win in the garden
3 down, 1 to go. Let’s get it done son.
Im so happy with this result
Best hockey game I’ve been to in my life.
Cool that Jack didnt even have a very good night (certainly by his standards) and we still put together this performance. Hopefully hes back for Game 6, we are going to need some great individual efforts to get it done.
Fitz looking more and more like a genius as the days pass.
Tonight is proof on why we have to just SHOOT and SHOOT and SHOOT SOME MORE.
Good goalies can only save so much.
Eeeeeeeeeewee gooooooooooeeeeeer
My wife who hasn’t watched a lot of Devils hockey with me said late in the second period “why do the Rangers look like they’re being forced to not play with their dominant hand?” After I stopped laughing several minutes later, I was very proud.
Tonight was a clinic. LGD!!!
Who remembers when that asshat Messier said the devils had no shot to win this series after game 2?
Pepperidge farm remembers
Love Timo trying to rip a one timer past Shesterkin in the final seconds.
He’s been great at providing that missing grit that this team needed to succeed in the playoffs.
Sure you’d love to see him scoring, but right now I’m just happy he owns a square foot of real estate six inches above Shesterkin’s shoulder
What a game to go to for my first playoff game!!
The Devils have caused Rangers fans to lose
their minds.
AHHHH LETS FUCKING GOOOO
Bill Spaulding really did say “IT’S A POWER PLAY GOAL” when Haula deflected it in lmfao. Yesssssssss.
After the 3rd goal a rags fan had the balls to say “yea when was your last cup?” I said emphatically “3 since yours motherfucker!!!!” He looked at his phone the rest of the game, fuck that felt so good
LGD! What a win. Playing their game confidently and taking it to them. Rangers looked listless all game and broken in the 3rd. Hope they can get on them early and often on Saturday and finish this out
sooooo satisfying & gratifying reading old fart NYR fans argue with each other in the New York Post Rangers threads about bringing up the 1994 stupid Messier guarantee that never happened
All the excitement about signing Kane seems so long ago now. Except for a lazy penalty, he was pretty invisible. I love it.
Haula is going to score 2 goals in a Game 6 win, and Rangers will give him 5×5
Schmid has the Rags fans shook.
Man is 6’ 5”, has a blackbelt, and is silky calm/powerful like a King Cobra, so I get it – but damn our boy has them SHOOK 🤣
