At only 21 years of age, Jack Hughes has broken the Devils franchise record for points in a season (previously Elias with 96)
Truly an incredible achievement, especially at his age. I’m sure he is going to break his own record a few times.
In the Devils record books forever.
Just wanna take a second to show more love to the
#NJDevils
crowd last night
Listen and watch the reactions after the massive Schmid saves and Hischier OT winner.. the building was rowdy and LOUD
I love it. More of that.
Seamus Casey looks unbelievable
5 point night and this gorgeous goal off a toe drag.. the Devils defense has a chance to be real special in the coming years
Is this a good time to remind y’all what it cost the Devils to get Tyler Toffoli?
A third (from Severson trade) and Yegor Sharangovich.. no disrespect to yegor but wow this trade is an instant homerun
Toffoli has 4 goals and 2 assists in his first 5 games on the
#NJDevils
..
Just wanted to put this out there
Regardless what happens tomorrow, this season was an incredible success
I’m October all I wanted was meaningful games and a competitive team.. we got 52 wins, a team that was third in the entire NHL, AND they won a round, AND they got Meier
Wanna hear something fun?
With all the Timo excitement, we’ve forgotten Luke Hughes is joining this team within the next month or so
It only gets better y’all. This
#NJDevils
team has some incredible potential.
The Taylor Hall trade to Arizona in 2019 is the perfect example of short term pain for long term gain
It hurt everyone to see Hallsy go, he was our MVP and lead the way in one of the most fun seasons this team base had in a long time… but it was the right decision to move on
You know what, the Devils sucked for so long.. they have accumulated so many picks and prospects
This is the way you use them. This is the right move. And in the end they kept all the top prospects. I really love this move
When we traded Ty Smith I was admittedly a bit disappointed, felt like he still had an decent NHL future ahead of him
But John Marino, he is THE MAN.
Feel like he can’t do any wrong right now, he’s been one of the best players since game one
I know Jack Hughes is getting a ton of the talk, and deservedly so.. but Jesper Bratt is having a ridiculous start to his season
14 points in 8 games this season for the
#NJDevils
(and he’s been doing it away from 86 the past few games). That’s a 142 point pace over a full
The defense Fitz was left with from Ray Shero
Greene Subban
Butcher Vatanen
Mueller Severson
The defense Fitz assembled (complete overhaul)
Siegenthaler Hamilton
Graves Severson
Smith Marino
(Not to mention drafting Hughes + Nemec)
Not bad..
Through four games, the Devils are outshooting their opponents 159-84
37-25 against Philly
39-22 against Detroit
41-20 against Anaheim
43-17 tonight against NYI
That’s really impressive..
Nico Hischier has been so good tonight, and he really has been all season
70 points in 72 games played (career high in points)
30 goals (career high)
Plays penalty kill, has 3 short handed goals.. really good in the faceoff dot
He is this teams leader
Great goal by Jack, but the setup by Jesper Bratt should not be forgotten
Used his speed and shiftiness perfectly to create space against Lindholm.. great play by Bratt
The Devils actually went into Washington and won
3-1 start to the season, for me only positive feelings so far.. feels like the top 6 hasn’t even fully gotten going yet but the depth and solid team play has resulted in wins
Still no Luke or Pesce too.. this team has incredible
Vitek Vanecek has an .887 sv% and -10.54 GSAA (89th out of 91 goalies)
Yet what is shocking is he still has a respectable 17-9-2 record
That’s insane to me, think about how hard this team has had to work to accomplish that. Overcome playing from behind constantly. 3+ goals
John Marino for Norris, Hart, Ted Lindsay, retire his number, name the arena Marino Center, take down the Marty statue and replace it with John Marino diving to breaking up a 2 on 1

Not the toughest opponent, but boy is it nice to have a young goalie like Akira Schmid come in and play as well as he did tonight
Last season this team couldn’t find any competent goaltending, to have the
#3
guy come in and shut the door tonight.. feels great
#NJDevils
Akira Schmid was unbelievable
He let in 1 goal on 3.8 xG.. 2.8 goals saved above expected tonight
So steady and locked in from the start, he had no shot on that Kreider chance
Maybe this is a weird comparison but something I noticed
Luke Hughes is kinda like our Jack on defense.. flashy, quick and extremely dynamic
And Simon Nemec is kinda like our Nico on defense.. not as flashy but just as impactful, especially on both sides of the ice, they are
Alex Holtz on how he’s feeling about his role this season on the
#NJDevils
:
“I don’t know, it’s hard to say.. some games I don’t play that much. Just trying to focus to getting better every day and show them I’m able to play more”
On what feedback he’s gotten from coaches:
I still feel like nobody outside of the Devils fanbase even knows how good Jesper Bratt is
27 points in 30 games on a team that’s doing pretty bad.. 8 points more than Johnsson who has the second most points on the team
It’s clear we have a high end player with Jesper
Just thinking about how Nico Hischier is on nearly a 70 point pace this season
And he works his ass of every night and is a great captain.. his play has shut down a looooot of haters
Crazy to see that the Devils have the second most wins in the entire NHL at the moment, only behind the potentially record setting Boston Bruins
We had all hoped for a step this year, but this is above and beyond. Just a reminder to enjoy it because we deserve it.
Tom Fitzgerald’s deadline
Out:
Andy Greene
Blake Coleman
Wayne Simmonds
Sami Vatanen
In:
VAN 1st Round Pick
NYI 2nd round pick
CAR 4th round pick (could be a 3rd)
BUF 5th Round pick (could be a 4th)
Nolan Foote
Janne Kuokkanen
I’d consider that a success
I’d say the new goal for the Devils is robbing this division title from Carolina and hopefully getting an easier first round matchup if possible.. the Devils are only 1 point behind Carolina atm
The East playoffs is going to be an absolute gauntlet outside of the wild card teams
