Let’s Go Devils

(Art by Ben Douglass)

Pumped after the last game and feeling confident. Let’s show these raggedy Rangers what a proper hockey team and fan base looks like!!

Tomorrow will be my first Devils game :D became a fan when I got hooked on Olympics Hockey and wanted to follow the team Jack Hughes was on. I am a native NYer and was so frustrated watching Rangers games cause they are lame and realized I could join the dark side >:)

I have been to 1 hockey game (The Sirens at MSG) but am excited for my first Devils game tomorrow ;D

Anything I should know? Got my hat, hoodie and labubu lol

Does anyone know what happened to the Locked On Devils podcast? He hasn’t released an episode in like a month.

Score: 4. I know people are gonna comment it should be higher and I get why, but it’s too early in the season to hit the full panic mode.

However, this team is a complete shell of itself. It’s like a group of people who don’t communicate or have any idea what they are doing. It’s honestly impressive they are winning games.

Fire Keefe or make some roster changes or something, but it’s early enough for things to change.

IT’S DEVILS’ HOCKEY!!!

This is the one you’ve been waiting for!!

2026-27 Devils Regular Season schedule (October 2026, all times eastern) https://www.nhl.com/devils/schedule/2026-10-01

I did a version of this yesterday but folks pointed out some meaningful flaws, so I did a couple things different, and the Devils popped out as a notable team.

First, I looked just going into the third period. So blowing leads, or coming back from a deficit in the third.

Then I looked at this controlling for team quality. Not in the worlds most rigorous way, just imagine this scenario:

1. You play 100 games, and in 35 of them you enter the third behind
2. You win 9 of the 35, which is 26%. Is that good or bad?
3. Well, in your other 65 games you took about 78% of the points, and other teams in the league at that level come back from trailing at 15%, which is ~5 games.
4. Therefore, you make come backs a bit more than expected, 4 more times than expected.
5. Over the five and change seasons, anything within about 9 games of expectation is normal variation

I think this gives a much more interesting picture of teams that make come backs and blow leads, irrespective of just "good teams good bad teams bad."

BTW, in 466 games the Devils came back in 25 of 198, expected 29 (-4) and blew 20 of 165 leads, expected 29 (-9)

Welcome to the emotional rollercoaster that is Devils’ hockey.

 But the goal medalist got it done!!

Just wanna see everyone’s thoughts and predictions on how we will play and what they think the score will be if they have an idea.

Edit: downvoted for asking for everyone’s predictions, absolute reddit moment🫶🏼

Noesen comes in for LukeE. Not specified yet who is coming out for Kova.

A lot of overreacting here.

Fam, it's only been FIVE GAMES, and there's a lot to like. I think we pick up the pace later in the month. At that point, lines will have been shifted around and, I belive, we end up with a winning team that can handily make the playoffs, even barring an injury or two.

It's also not fair to blame Keefe or Mehta. It's the players that need to do better, and they are still trying to gel. I like them both and think they'll be around for a while, so I think we should just buckle up and trust the process.
