I think they'll be fine in the long run of this season but the lack of 3rd linemate with Jack/Bratt is starting to rear its ugly head. Also losing to a duo pairing of Reilly Smith/Sam Carrick in OT is nuts. Them sucking in OT is eerily similar to when they went from a great shootout team with Kovy/Parise in 2011-2012 to being absolutely horrendous in them in 13-14 and going like 0-14 lol. I think they'll win on Saturday win on TB. As always, good video Ace. 🫡
@MSGVault15 A true top 6 winger would be glorious to play with Jack and Jesper. I do not think we see it happen this year. The OT was atrocious on so many levels. This team has to play a little more conservative in OT. Will we go the whole season without ever reaching the shootout?!? The riches to rags plotline in the shootouts back then was crazy. The Parise/Kovy era was so much fun. It is a damn shame we couldn't pull out the 2012 Cup win. What a story that would have been. If only we could have won 1 of the first 2 games at The Rock, I think the whole series would have played out differently. Gotta win Saturday for sure. I really hope we see Marky back in the net. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@@runninwiththedevils I think the issue is that they play way different under Keefe in OT than they did under Ruff. The run n gun and go works a ton in 3v3, part of me thinks a lot of the guys are still confused what Keefe wants in OT. and he's also pretty bad in OT with his decisions on who to play. You have to play Jack but he should've definitely went over to him before OT started and told him to play a bit safer after his turnovers tonight.
@MSGVault15 Jack was pressing in this game for sure. He took a long shift to start OT, and then came back out fairly quickly. At this point I want them to tighten up in OT and see what we can do in a shootout. Although based on our in game breakaways throughout the season, it may end ugly as well. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Now you know what Vitek felt last season when he's been turninng like squirrel in the wheel and yet was losing. I bet Markstrom is happy now too about his saves
@bted genius, in some countries they use a squirrel in that idiom. But for you, because you cannot think outside of your house, I'll replace squirrel with a hamster
Mid-season slump continues to wreck havoc on this team. Fix the special teams, create more energy and take the point. Lots of hockey left this year, there is time to figure it all out.
@Death_To_Kong Agreed. Special teams snuffed out any chance we had of winning the game. Poor Marky deserved so much better. He has this team on his back right now. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
I think we need a whole practice of passing to open lanes, closing in on the orher teams open lanes, and special teams (3v3, powerplay, pk) because they have been dead cold.
Marky kept them in a game they had no business to be in. Way too many turnovers. Jacks OT choices were not it. Lucky to come out with one point. Hopefully they play better vs the Lightning. Cause the Rags still suck. But this game we sucked a bit more. LGD
A lot of people will blame Jack, and rightfully so. However I truly believe special teams was the difference tonight. Coming into the game you know the rags would score on the pp and we just take stupid needless penalties. If we played 5 v 5 the whole game we walk away with 2 points. Kind of worried about their next 3 games, though.
Rangers didn't score a single 5v5 goal tonight. 2 PPGs and a 3v3 you'll never see in the playoffs. It's a loss, but they still got a point while not at all look their best. You take it and move on.
What in the flying frik are we waiting for in trying to get a 3rd line center.. we have the pieces to move to get a Brock Nelson type player.. if we are serious about contending we need to be willing to say goodbye to some prospects. If we can get Nelson to sign for 3 more years we should trade Nemec and Haula. I truly believe that could put us over the tile and we could win 2 of 3 cups. Why are we not talking about this and making moves.. pussyfooting will not get us to Lord Stanley. Anything short of a cup is unacceptable
Ace I’ve had it with this team i live in Tampa I’m now a lightning fan. I’m selling all my Jack Hughes autos haha jk but I’m concerned we need another finisher
I always get the feeling this team goes as Jack goes, even if Hischier is the captain and Bratt is just as important to the team. He was out there the whole OT, he had two big giveaways by trying to do too much, and they lose. He said himself he screwed up. Jack is a great player and he will learn, but he has a little ways to go as far as learning how to be the man and how to win. Markstrom totally average again. Definitely a terrible trade. Give me Vanecek any day. So average.
@bted On too many nights you are right. (team stinking when Jack does) Often when Jack struggles, the team struggles. Jack was terrible in OT. He was forcing it and gave the game away. They were onto his moves all night long. Hopefully he learns from it and takes better care of the puck moving forward. Markstrom was complete trash out there. I think Fitz should look into moving him ASAP. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@@runninwiththedevilsannoying rangers fan chiming in. You devils fans are just bad fans. I don’t know how else to say it. You don’t want Vanacek back. Trust me. You don’t. You guys hit the jackpot with Markstrom. Igor just happens to be better. It’s okay.
I agree with everything until you mentioned marky. The goals he let in were not weak goals, he had many great saves, and the defense left wide open shooting lanes. Especially after seattle, dont come shitting on Marky
Laf was also like minus-30 over those 15 games. Just saying. And btw like half of Jack's goals this year are against your $88M goalie, no? But, sure. Bust. Okay.

I don't think squirrels use wheels.
Other than that it's a genius analogy.

@sst6601 Yes I've heard squirrels are popular pets in Antarctica. How's the weather there?
@@bted I've heard squirrels there are called penguins. But your damaged head would not know that. And that's ok. No worries
We've got this! Just gotta get that vibe back!
Mid-season slump continues to wreck havoc on this team. Fix the special teams, create more energy and take the point. Lots of hockey left this year, there is time to figure it all out.
We were outplayed most of the game imo. Our PP has completely disappeared. Very frustrating.
@Death_To_Kong Agreed. Special teams snuffed out any chance we had of winning the game. Poor Marky deserved so much better. He has this team on his back right now. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Young Sheldon to blame?
Jack Hughes overrated?
More to come with runningwithdevils
Bring up the ahl player of the month seamus Casey!! We need that lethal toe drag

If a team would be willing to take Hamilton’s contract I think Fitz needs to look into that and bring up nemec. Then use that money to find a sniper
Dougie is stuck here for the next 6 years. Perhaps in 3 years something will change but I doubt they will move dougie now.
Rangers didn't score a single 5v5 goal tonight. 2 PPGs and a 3v3 you'll never see in the playoffs. It's a loss, but they still got a point while not at all look their best. You take it and move on.
5 losses in the last 6. Something needs to change.

You don’t see Jack score goals like that 😂
Rag fan with anime profile pic would rather have Panarin than Jack Hughes.
Okay.
He scored on a rebound😑
Dowling MUST stay and Haula must not come back. Haula is done with this team.
Idk something gotta get tweaked with the defense and bottom six
Ace I’ve had it with this team i live in Tampa I’m now a lightning fan. I’m selling all my Jack Hughes autos haha jk but I’m concerned we need another finisher

@@JustaComment93 Markstrom has better stats than Igor
Miss me?

@isaiaholiveras3980 What am I missing here? I am a bit delirious...
LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️ need way more of those☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
UGH!!
Jack has 16? 😂
Lafreniere has 11 and hasn’t scored in like 15 games 😂😂😂😂
Is Jack the bust?
Laf was also like minus-30 over those 15 games. Just saying.
And btw like half of Jack's goals this year are against your $88M goalie, no?
But, sure. Bust. Okay.
Wait whats that guys name?
Kappo Kakko?
Bs call on mcdermid? 😂 how about that vicious slashing penalty Zibanejad committed he should’ve gotten a match penalty……
Ace, let me know if you want me to take care of this clown or keep it classy.
Matt Rempe fan with anime profile pic complaining about dirty plays.
Okay.
Keep dreaming about winning with the Hughes brothers. Keep dreaming😏
Yes It's a bust. We'd all rather have Kaapo Kakko and Tyler Boucher.
@bted we'd all rather have B. Tkachuk and Lane Hutson
@@sst6601 You'll notice I mentioned players picked in the same draft as Jack and Luke Hughes, respectively.
Or not.
@@btedwho cares about the Draft year players. I care about players the Devils need now
@sst6601 Right. I understand you don't want context to spoil your lazy takes.
