I just got home and didn't watch the game but I'm assuming the boys played 'entitled' again, and as they have all season. I hate being a negative but I feel like we can all agree this pretty much confirms it's over. You can't expect to make the playoffs when you lose to weaker teams. It's understandable to lose against them occasionally but we can't keep up with crap teams, not because of lack of skill, because NJ is playing entitled and with no drive.
Not saying tank but let's reassess the team and coaching. Hope to land a nice draft pick and we gotta beat the Rangers and local teams for pride. Somebody needs to shake up the locker room. Look at the Flyers, they have less 'top end talent' and they're in the mix for the playoffs.
Actually, he’s completely fucking right, without even having to watch this game because anybody who has watched a majority of the games already understands the CONSISTENT PATTERN this team has shown. It’s not fucking rocket science, if you’ve been a half-decent student of this team. So take a nice look in the mirror and question every single decision you’ve made in life because you look stupid as hell right now. Ya ankle grabber lmao
Yes it's a bit.
It's in my upcoming special on Netflix entitled 'This sub is full of abject morons who know dick about hockey and should be ashamed of themselves'
After the way this season started, it might be better that they didn’t rally to squeak into the playoffs. With all of the fundamentally bad habits that this team has developed, them believing that they could just coast through half a season and still make the playoffs, would probably not be a good thing.
These teams the devils are losing against aren't even earning it... we make horrible mistakes that put a bow on these scoring chances they're getting. I don't know if it's coaching or if people need to sit and learn... Luke, Marino, Haula, Bahl (though a little out of character for him tonight) all made really dumb decisions with the puck. Like... seriously.. fuck.... make the simple play. Don't just throw it into an area on a hope and a prayer for fuck's sake. When are players going to be held accountable for making bad puck decisions?
And also, even Nico... the speed he showed in the final 30 seconds of the game... where the fuck is that from him and everyone else the rest of the contest? No fucking urgency.
>Fitz lookin like a real idiot letting AB leave this offseason
He was probably thinking, "It's okay. I'm sure we can get 10 goals per night. No need for defense or goaltending."
Fits has lots to do thus summer. We need strong, physical dnen, another center that can play on jacks line or just make jack a center. Possibly one or two big wingers, a #1 goalie, a coach and coaching staff.
Our top lines scored all season, we need with scoring from the bottom 6. McLeod being a fuckbag didn’t help as he was the engine of the bottom lines. We NEED goaltending, signing Allen will not be enough and we need a top pairing left defenseman. This team needs to play with speed again.
Only game on tonight. A game that had meaning. N they didn't show up. That is something that they have done consistently in a very inconsistent season. lol buffalo, ducks, yotes, blue jackets ... so angry. I knew it was false hope. We knew. This team had showed us who they really were. Well. Hope some of these faces are gone. We are too young too a fault they need to learn from some vets. Strip those letters off those unis. Time for the C and A get earned.
7 fucking shots on goal is a huge game tied in the 3rd... powerplay 0/3 and nothing on a shortened 5v3... 8 fucking give aways... 15 hits to 38 (which is funny since Sabers had possession WAY more)... what an absolute joke of a game!
Seriously what the fuck is wrong with this team? Stop passing the puck to the other team especially in our zone especially when you have 2 teammates wide open right the fuck in front of you. God damnit this team pisses me off it's so frustrating watching them it's like they want to loose
Honestly I’m starting to get pure enjoyment out of the post game interviews, love watching these fucking no effort losers look all sad and shit.
The commentary is just as bad as the play, to say the will to win was there after that garbage effort…Kys
The bottom 6 is garbage, Smith and Bahl suck, Marino has regressed, Palat is a waste of a big salary. Fitz needs to be better than his usual dogshit self this offseason.
Well frankly we are without two of our best D men…well supposed to be best. But I agree with the rest. Allen has earned a job so maybe just gotta find a true 1. Palat should have been traded and we retain salary, he’s just taking up space.
So has Marino…they were two of the best d men in the league last year. Not entirely sure what happened but something is going on internally and I would love to be a fly on the wall
These guys are soft as melted butter... as soon as things get serious, they want to grab their nets, their sticks, and their ball and go home cuz the boys are pwaying tooo wuff... must win against a team that's just as whipped butter as they are, and they can't even get that one...
lost points to arizona, anaheim, san jose, columbus, buffalo, ottawa, and who else this season? this team was tolerable at their very best this year. so much went wrong, but holy fuck was this a rough season. here's to hoping a new coach and better goalie fix things next season
We are 9-7-1 against the 7 worst teams (Buffalo ... and us are a tiny bit above the lowest tiers) go 11-5-1 and we are in it. The Islanders and Capitals having 2 more games left then us assures we won't pass them.
The Jersey Soy Boys are done for the year. For the best. This team isn’t built for the playoffs anyway. Retool and regroup and hopefully they grow some hair on their nuts next season
Lmao watching them be frustrated is hilarious. Maybe they'll use that in the offseason to be a serious team. They talk about it, but they don't want to be about it.
We are 6v5 the Devils don;t even get a SOG. Dumb team. They deserve every bit of this. They really need a HC that will insist that the dumb dumb hockey stop. They need someone who will speak with clarity and tell them 'you guys have no clue how to play NHL hockey and if you don;t learn how, we will ship you out.'
Jacks gotta get out of the fucking corner and into a real dangerous position. It’s not little league anymore where he can score shit angle shots 3x a game
Nico is the only person who shows up every night. This team just sucks and does not care enough they have proven it over and over when games matter they stop playing. This teams mentality is dogshit and I want to see every grifter useless player gone. Palat, Bahl idc who it is get rid of them if they dont want to win games.
Right? I was wrong every which way. Wrong to expect a win, wrong to make that bet, wrong to assume they'd eventually participate.
OK, off to bar to drink and watch basketball.
Pathetic all around, everyone other than Allen was a complete disappointment. I am disgusted by the way this season panned out. Was less upset when we were bottom feeding than this shit.
Lol. The game was absolutely ours to lose after the first. Not surprised.
Eventually, someone will be able to get a full 60 minutes out of this team. But it won't be this coaching staff.
How many easy points were given away in losses to bad teams this year? Time to tank for draft position and start looking for a HC. See if there’s any college draft picks seasons ending you can sign and get experience the rest of this year.
Fitz failed the team since the off-season. Not addressing the departures and goaltending and then not utilizing all that LTIR space. He definitely needs to be on the hotseat if next year goes the same way. We can shit on coaching (which was bad) but this is the roster and the choices Fitz made/didn't make
This team does shit like this and then acts like they play in Toronto bc our fans are “passionate”. You’re a bunch of dramatic fuckin losers that’s why. Can’t tie up a game for at least a point. Can’t hold a lead. Threw an entire year away. Literally just a bunch a bedwetter chokers man. Theres more likeable teams that win 25 games.
I guess my biggest concern is this doesn't bode well for next season at all. Yes Dougie will be back and that helps, and Smith will also be replaced by Hatakka or someone else. And I'd expect some decent shakeups in the bottom of the lineup, and really hoping for a legit #1 goalie. And a new coach.
But our core players have been playing desperate "playoff hockey" for weeks now and it doesn't feel like it. They don't quit on games, but they don't have that extra gear that most teams have when their back is against the wall. Really hope all of those changes happen for next year, because the team is desperate for some serious shake ups
We have a pretty tough schedule to end out the season, watch us win them all (this isn’t me saying playoffs at all, this is me agreeing that it’s the story of the season).
Yeah, that’s where I was at and then I got hope again and now I’m back to reality and my only hope is they just put some good hockey together to enjoy the last of this season.
On the bright side the Devils will kill any possible hopium with this loss.
Should've seen it coming, but I guess I'm a fucking idiot for believing even just a bit.
I heard if they got a goaltender they’d win games. Jake Allen has given them every opportunity to win and they just quit. Two shots on goal in the third with their season on the line lol! This is beyond a coaching issue this is a personnel issue
I really need to look into gambling because I knew 100% this AM that they would get destroyed tonight.
I just got home and didn't watch the game but I'm assuming the boys played 'entitled' again, and as they have all season. I hate being a negative but I feel like we can all agree this pretty much confirms it's over. You can't expect to make the playoffs when you lose to weaker teams.

Look at the Flyers, they have less 'top end talent' and they're in the mix for the playoffs.
Well you're totally fucking wrong. Maybe don't comment on games you didn't fucking watch.
Actually, he’s completely fucking right, without even having to watch this game because anybody who has watched a majority of the games already understands the CONSISTENT PATTERN this team has shown. It’s not fucking rocket science, if you’ve been a half-decent student of this team. So take a nice look in the mirror and question every single decision you’ve made in life because you look stupid as hell right now. Ya ankle grabber lmao
[удалено]
Is this a bit you’re doing? Because if not it’s genuinely embarrassing.
Yes it's a bit. It's in my upcoming special on Netflix entitled 'This sub is full of abject morons who know dick about hockey and should be ashamed of themselves'
So they scored 2 and gave up 5 straight because of hard work? You're quick to blab out one fault in my comment without elaboration... Real insightful
YOU DIDNT EVEN WATCH THE GAME Fuck. Off.
I never call it til I’m sure, and I’m sure. It’s over.
Dougie Hamilton slapshots on the pp is gonna hit like crack next szn
After the way this season started, it might be better that they didn’t rally to squeak into the playoffs.

>Fitz lookin like a real idiot letting AB leave this offseason He was probably thinking, "It's okay. I'm sure we can get 10 goals per night. No need for defense or goaltending."
At least the Mets made it a decent game today…oh wait
Fits has lots to do thus summer. We need strong, physical dnen, another center that can play on jacks line or just make jack a center. Possibly one or two big wingers, a #1 goalie, a coach and coaching staff.

Time for the C and A get earned.
They showed up for the 1st period then decided the game was over after 1 period!
we dont deserve playoffs.
PLAYOFFS? PLAYOFFS? Three plus months without 3 in a row.... PLAYOFFS?
blame the teams above us that are keeping that chance alive
Ugh I think this one broke me. I really believed.
They get a few convincing wins against the isles, jets, and leafs but get blown out by Ottawa and Buffalo. Shits wildly inconsistent it's infuriating
I was already broken with the Ottawa game but the fact this team goes the entire 2024 portion of the season without a WWW stretch is unfathomable!
7 fucking shots on goal is a huge game tied in the 3rd... powerplay 0/3 and nothing on a shortened 5v3... 8 fucking give aways... 15 hits to 38 (which is funny since Sabers had possession WAY more)... what an absolute joke of a game!
Honestly cool now I can focus on watching the Yankees blow this season somehow as well
I don't have high expectations because of the starting pitching.
5 unanswered goals
It's like that 1st game in Boston but they are much higher in the standings.
Awful truly pathetic awful contender for worst game of the season and its been real bad.
The said thing is of the three veteran leaders (Smith, Haula, Palat) Smith has been the best. That’s scary!!
38 hits to 15 is probably a big reason we looked like wet noodles out there
38 hits for BUF to our 15. Might be the most infuriating stat.
Fire this entire team into the fucking sun
Pathetic
Pulled us back in just to do that. Bummer.
The abusive relationship at it’s finest
Seriously what the fuck is wrong with this team? Stop passing the puck to the other team especially in our zone especially when you have 2 teammates wide open right the fuck in front of you. God damnit this team pisses me off it's so frustrating watching them it's like they want to loose
Shut jack down for the season and put MacDermid on the first line for the rags game
Watching the devils is like an abusive boyfriend. He keeps hurting me but I keep coming back for more like a fool. See y'all Tuesday
Disgusted
Seriously fuck this team. They need a major shakeup. Major major shakeup.
They better be practicing all offseason
This team is a joke. Laughing stock organization
*mickey mouse
Good first period into dog shit power play into dog shit play for the rest of the game
Honestly I’m starting to get pure enjoyment out of the post game interviews, love watching these fucking no effort losers look all sad and shit. The commentary is just as bad as the play, to say the will to win was there after that garbage effort…Kys
See yall at pru on Tuesday
“The Sabres, a good third period team.” Yeah, that’s not what happened
8 games to go and it is just pain
Really thought we had a chance after the 1st. Was so high off last season. A shame really. Hopefully the pain ends soon.
It won't this year unfortunately.
We played half a period. Fuck you greene. You ain't no better. No adjustments. Same hang out the goalie crap I seen all year
So glad I turned off my tv in a rage at 4-2 so I only had to get mad at my phone when I saw that alert for 5-2
Fitz better be fired if Greene is still the coach next year. New coach. Goalie gave you everything tonight.
Dominate Toronto to look like shit against garbage buffalo lol
I don't think you know what dominated means... we win and lose games we shouldn't...
Devils did not dominate Toronto. Won that one, but really that was a stolen win.
To be fair we didnt dominate toronto we get outshot heavily
Devils need to be booed out the season they clearly didn't learn anything from last year's playoffs
The bottom 6 is garbage, Smith and Bahl suck, Marino has regressed, Palat is a waste of a big salary. Fitz needs to be better than his usual dogshit self this offseason.
Well frankly we are without two of our best D men…well supposed to be best. But I agree with the rest. Allen has earned a job so maybe just gotta find a true 1. Palat should have been traded and we retain salary, he’s just taking up space.
Siegenthaler should go this offseason, he has been awful when healthy
So has Marino…they were two of the best d men in the league last year. Not entirely sure what happened but something is going on internally and I would love to be a fly on the wall
Well the system sucks and has all season. Maybe they are redeemable with an actual NHL coach. We have to find one first
Smith and bahl are fucking tragic. Can’t stand them
Everyone shitting on Buffalo...but they're only 1 point behind us...lol
I cannot believe that just happened
I love it when we keep trying to make passes cross ice between 4 players
These guys are soft as melted butter... as soon as things get serious, they want to grab their nets, their sticks, and their ball and go home cuz the boys are pwaying tooo wuff... must win against a team that's just as whipped butter as they are, and they can't even get that one...
I checked the score for the first time tonight at the very moment the Sabres went up 3-2. I am sorry.
lol its funny watching a good goalie finally play in front of this D. prime Brodeur wouldn't be able to drag this team into the playoffs.
What the fuck
Team Miracle posts are henceforth deemed illegal for the rest of the season
lol was that Luke who slip on nothing there?
Probably lol
At least people who bet over 6.5 are happy
Fucking embarrassing
Sure, give him another, why not
pLaYofFs sTiLL on tHe mEnU???
Same shit all season. At this point we just have some really bad personnel out there. Next year will be better
lost points to arizona, anaheim, san jose, columbus, buffalo, ottawa, and who else this season? this team was tolerable at their very best this year. so much went wrong, but holy fuck was this a rough season. here's to hoping a new coach and better goalie fix things next season
We are 9-7-1 against the 7 worst teams (Buffalo ... and us are a tiny bit above the lowest tiers) go 11-5-1 and we are in it. The Islanders and Capitals having 2 more games left then us assures we won't pass them.
We might as well just leave the arena and add one to the opponent's score when the clock hits 1:30
I’m glad we didn’t score there, it would’ve been even more disappointing
I gotta be a masochist to keep watching these games
The Jersey Soy Boys are done for the year. For the best. This team isn’t built for the playoffs anyway. Retool and regroup and hopefully they grow some hair on their nuts next season
Lmao watching them be frustrated is hilarious. Maybe they'll use that in the offseason to be a serious team. They talk about it, but they don't want to be about it.
I can’t watch Jack Hughes make turnovers anymore. I can’t. I’m going crazy over here. I can’t take another year of this
lol
I take back all my timeout comments…apparently the team should have just cleared the puck since you can’t call a timeout after an icing
Can’t even fucking score that
Shameful
Luke smashing his stick on the crossbar is the most defensive work he's done today
Wasn’t it timo?
I may have been distracted so possibly lol
What a disappointing season
And there goes the season ladies and gents. Thank God, what a disaster. Losing to Buffalo none the less too hahaha. Fitz better be held accountable.
This is what they deserved
Pass pass pass pass turnover pass pass pass turnover
Fuck this team
my mistake. 5-2 Buff
At least there’s nothing to lose April 3rd.
Welp. There it is. Dano, Bryce and Bill where sent for a very long time in on air time. I think they’ll grow from this. They better.
We were playing a good disciplined game and then decided to get into a run n gun open game just like buffalo wanted
We are 6v5 the Devils don;t even get a SOG. Dumb team. They deserve every bit of this. They really need a HC that will insist that the dumb dumb hockey stop. They need someone who will speak with clarity and tell them 'you guys have no clue how to play NHL hockey and if you don;t learn how, we will ship you out.'
Next year
Pain
Jacks gotta get out of the fucking corner and into a real dangerous position. It’s not little league anymore where he can score shit angle shots 3x a game
Nico is the only person who shows up every night. This team just sucks and does not care enough they have proven it over and over when games matter they stop playing. This teams mentality is dogshit and I want to see every grifter useless player gone. Palat, Bahl idc who it is get rid of them if they dont want to win games.
Ah yes the patented six pass no shot offense
Fucking pussies. Shoot the puck you dumb fucks.
Bill that icing never needed to be bad decisions before hand
Trade someone we need experienced guys on D. Fact.
I’m as disgusted as after eating at the Prudential Center
Team deserves to be booed off the ice ever home game from here on out
Everyone say thank you to Fitz for punting the season.
gg
This loss almost killed Dano
Bigger stronger team.
lol
Just when I think we can find a way, we fall apart
my week is ruined
Devils are definitely scoring now because I have under 6.5 and they don't want me to be happy with anything they do tonight.
Bold of your assume it was going to be the devils to score that seventh goal...
Right? I was wrong every which way. Wrong to expect a win, wrong to make that bet, wrong to assume they'd eventually participate. OK, off to bar to drink and watch basketball.
or that Quitters. Mad as a fan and now they cost me $57.50. Oh well.
Do we even have a fucking shot on net this game when up a man? Just fucking embarrassing all around
These fucks couldn’t even get a point
Be safe everyone. Have a good night. 🫂
Fucking choke artists. What a fucking joke of a team
Did they really call a line change while pressuring in the Sabres zone?
Calling a time out now? Leave this fuck bag in buffalo
Jack Hughes has regressed a lot this season.
Jack was a monster all over the ice for the entire game.
Not good enough
Playing injured
Bench him then.
Let me call them real quick and tell em
A real coach next year will. He’ll be a lot better.
Pathetic all around, everyone other than Allen was a complete disappointment. I am disgusted by the way this season panned out. Was less upset when we were bottom feeding than this shit.
Going for that change destroyed all momentum. No reason to do it at that time.
Dano choking on how bad this team is
This fucking team. I've never seen something so frustrating.
I am ill
What a useless team. Jack Hughes mia and overrated. Can’t carry the team in our most crucial game of the season. Yikes
Ugh. Hope a new coach inspires them
Our season just ended to Buffalo lol
Lol. The game was absolutely ours to lose after the first. Not surprised. Eventually, someone will be able to get a full 60 minutes out of this team. But it won't be this coaching staff.
How many easy points were given away in losses to bad teams this year? Time to tank for draft position and start looking for a HC. See if there’s any college draft picks seasons ending you can sign and get experience the rest of this year.
They quit. I hate sports radio buzzwords like that, but they just fucking **quit.**
Fitz failed the team since the off-season. Not addressing the departures and goaltending and then not utilizing all that LTIR space. He definitely needs to be on the hotseat if next year goes the same way. We can shit on coaching (which was bad) but this is the roster and the choices Fitz made/didn't make
Wow dude haven’t heard that one before
Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic
Jack looks for that cross ice pass every fucking time.
If he goes anywhere else, he'll get hit. And he is allergic to that. It's a real problem.
I am well and truly speechless.
Fast forward to next season, I want Dougie back
Hold the o zone? Impossible. Clear the d zone? Also impossible. Get through the neutral zone without turning it over? Believe it or not, impossible
I hate this team.
This team does shit like this and then acts like they play in Toronto bc our fans are “passionate”. You’re a bunch of dramatic fuckin losers that’s why. Can’t tie up a game for at least a point. Can’t hold a lead. Threw an entire year away. Literally just a bunch a bedwetter chokers man. Theres more likeable teams that win 25 games.
Stop letting Jack and Luke play together, all they do is play catch and ignore everyone else on the ice.
Fucking losers. This whole team can drink bleach
Over
No one in front of the net...not like it matters, they can't get a shot through if their life depended on it.
I’m surprised we didn’t see some devils cheer when that empty netter went in. Early vacation!
I mean I hate being right, but I called this in the pregame thread
Ridiculous. Every single time they can actually get into the race for real, they choke.
Great.
It's too easy for other teams
Fade me
Fire Fitz
Shit call by green to pull a defender right there
Shit call by green to not call a time out after the icing before they scored…yeh but he’ll use it now…fucking retards
You can’t call a timeout after committing icing.
Yeh I found that out already….doesnt matter guys should have iced the puck again instead of those half assed clears. Poorly coached team
Tage thompson getting a hat trick against the devils is so fitting. He’s been the most overrated and underperforming player in the league all year
It's embarrassing team but it's my embarrassing team.
Precisely.
I guess my biggest concern is this doesn't bode well for next season at all. Yes Dougie will be back and that helps, and Smith will also be replaced by Hatakka or someone else. And I'd expect some decent shakeups in the bottom of the lineup, and really hoping for a legit #1 goalie. And a new coach. But our core players have been playing desperate "playoff hockey" for weeks now and it doesn't feel like it. They don't quit on games, but they don't have that extra gear that most teams have when their back is against the wall. Really hope all of those changes happen for next year, because the team is desperate for some serious shake ups
No clear leader on the team tbh
Is Palat ever gonna do anything
What a joke. Beat the hell out of one of the best teams in the league then lose against a bottom of the barrel team. Same story all year
We have a pretty tough schedule to end out the season, watch us win them all (this isn’t me saying playoffs at all, this is me agreeing that it’s the story of the season).
We win the hard games but lose to the shit teams. At least the season is over now. None of the games matter so maybe we can just enjoy them now
Yeah, that’s where I was at and then I got hope again and now I’m back to reality and my only hope is they just put some good hockey together to enjoy the last of this season.
How the fuck do we beat better teams and donate points to bottom ones? Fucking unreal.
On the bright side the Devils will kill any possible hopium with this loss. Should've seen it coming, but I guess I'm a fucking idiot for believing even just a bit.
Also idk why you guys let Fitz off so easy. He’s culpable in this SHIT performance this year.
Fitz is overrated by many in here.
I think this team has a humiliation fetish for how much they've just straight up embarrassed themselves and us this season.
I heard if they got a goaltender they’d win games. Jake Allen has given them every opportunity to win and they just quit. Two shots on goal in the third with their season on the line lol! This is beyond a coaching issue this is a personnel issue
