    Looks like they Devils will be picking up another two points in the standings on Carolina tonight and still have a game-in-hand. Atlanta couldn't be Edmonton, making it better news for New Jersey.

    I really don't care for NJ, but I'd like to see something historic

    Yeah, I hope the Leafs TANK the rest of the season. The Bruins get their 1st rounder this year too from the Kessel deal. We could use another solid winger..

    We've got two solid goalies, a great coach, and a powerplay that's finally clicking. Our defense is playing like the Devils of old (only 5 GAA in the last 5 games, all against strong playoff teams) and something the Devils of old never had: a fast, confident game-winner (Kovy). Add to that our best player of the last few years (Parise) will likely be fit again for playoffs, and we're talking about a damn good contending team. As if that's not enough, we've had Philly's number in the post season for quite some time, so the eighth seed doesn't scare me at all.

    I placed my $20 bet on the devils to win the cup right after watching their first period against the Canes tonight. 150-1, $3000 pay off. Easily the best value on the board. Needless to say, I believe.

    And above all, they are playing like a team on a mission. They are the best team in the league at the moment.
    Lets make $$$$ guys.

    Maybe they can clutch, grab and hold their way to a playoff berth...oh, thats right the NHL smartened up and changed the game to avoid the deep sleep team defensive game that made the devils great...maybe they could call Scott Steven out of retirement to provide cheap head shots to the opposing teams top players....oh, thats right the NHL outlawed that behavior too

    The best part of watching this ultimate demise of the most lack-luster "championship winning" team ever....is that Marty Brodeur 's retirement will be the deathnail in the coffin of this joke of a franchise ... good riddence boys...to your team and your 9,000 faithful fans!!

    I'm hoping the devils come 1...2 points short of a playoff berth....better yet...as one post stated, let them get the 8th seed and be ousted by the flyers AGAIN !!!
    Listen stupid go back to the rock you crawled out from... You didn't even have to POST what team you like I could acutally tell reading it. Your stupid ass is still upset over Lindros getting LAID out and hummm a guy named I think it was Lemieux (wait not Mario) it's CLAUDE!

    Listen stupid... you know DAMN well you DON"T want to see the Devils get the 8th seed after the way they are playing and possible revenge of last years 1st Round defeat of the Flyers. I have nothing but respect for the way you guys have played but your stupidity in your post shows your TRUE colors.

    This is EXACTLY why Philly fans are hated so much in every sport called STUPIDITY!

    It's been offline for a few hours now.

    BetJam still has them at 500-1

    Every other book has already adjusted.

    Get on it. If they come close late, you can always hedge/fade them.

    The way Carolina, Atlanta and the rangers have been playing lately, NJ might "only" need 88-89 points to make it.

    Devils lose tonight.

    No doubt about it. Jamie Benn is back, Hedberg in goal for NJ,....bad combination for the Devils.

    Stars roll in this one.....

    this team is legit. They've really gotten back to old-school devils hockey under Lemaire. Solid goaltending, disciplined tough defense, and timely goals. The games are boring mindf*ucks, but the W is all that matters and they have been producing a bunch of WINS.

    Only 9 points back with 22 games left. It's becoming more and more of a possibility.

    Would this be the biggest come back as far as being down in points in the history of the NHL?

    Still winning, next 7 games will decide if they have a chance.

    BetJam went from 500-1 to 50-1

    Agree with the next week. If they can close the gap to about 4-5 points behind this week, they definetly have a shot. If after this week there still around 9-10 points behind, just ain't happenin.
