This is rock bottom for the New Jersey Devils. Not that the 9-0 loss on Long Island wasn’t already. But last night’s disgrace of a performance just reinforces it can’t get any worse than it already is.
In last night’s dissected, I took a look at why the Devils aren’t scoring goals despite the chances. It’s not an analytical approach. It’s strictly eye test. And it’s so obvious once you see it. I also pointed out how the man advantage has devolved into a disadvantage.
This team is so dysfunctional.
Elsewhere, the latest NHL trade board, Blueshirts looking to deal, and Habs are shopping.
Let’s do that hockey.
