This picture sums up the whole Oilers season in a nutshell. Seriously thank you Scrivens for setting an NHL record of most saves for a shutout! Who cares 59 saves!

Random note: During the Flyers/Ducks game they played Benoit's theme song. Probably the first time I heard that in about 5 years.

Pathetic. In 2 games the Oilers let in a combined shots total of 100 shots. Also 35 blocked shots 3 posts/crossbars 27 missed shots. No way in hell Scrivens is going to sign back here unless they massively overpay for him.

Edmonton wins the battle of the basement despite being outshot 44 shots. In three games the Oilers allowed 144 shots on goal.

Third straight game, Devils have a one goal lead in the final two minutes, give up the tying goal. They survived doing it once, but it's beaten them the last two.
I'll give them a bit of leeway this time: they played a great game, but had AWFUL luck (3 posts, 1 puck just stopping on the goal line).
That said, Pete DeBoer keeps letting the fourth line play in the final two minutes of 1 goal games, and it keeps biting us, YET HE KEEPS DOING IT. Seriously, Steve Bernier may be our worst every day forward, yet he NEVER gets healthy scratched...meanwhile, guys like Jacob Josefson and Andre Loktionov get scratched for the smallest transgression. Not saying they're great, but good lord, Bernier sucks.

This seems familiar, Avs win, Devil lose. Sorry for your loss, but thank goodness for the Avs win. They need to keep wracking up points.

So, this is what the Avs bench looked like last night in Jersey. Yeah...

Rangers defeat the Avs 5-1. Lundqvist gets victory #297. Meanwhile Captain Cally also netted 2 goals in the game. Hopefully he and the Rangers can work out a deal so he can stay a Ranger.

The Jets are kicking ass and taking names. They've gone from the bottom to a game out of last wildcard spot which is currently being held by the nosediving Canucks. Seriously since the Flames brawl they've shit the bed big time.

Not saying they're great, but good lord, Bernier sucks. I haven't jumped on board the PDB hate train like a lot of Devils fans have this season, but his decisions baffle me lately. From the way he treats younger players to constantly switching lines around and not allowing them to develop any sort of chemistry. Yeah, he got us to the Stanley Cup finals his first year and he has a bad hand dealt to him with the lack of dynamic goal scorers this season thanks to the Kovalchuk blindsiding and losing Parise the year before. But it might be time to look elsewhere for a new coach who knows how to work with and develop younger talent.

But it might be time to look elsewhere for a new coach who knows how to work with and develop younger talent. Yeah, in terms of X's and O's, in terms of a team-wide system and philosophy (heavy forecheck, pinch at the blueline, etc.), DeBoer is fine, and he can't help the fact that the team lost literally two of the best forwards on planet Earth since 2012 and hasn't been able to readily replace them, leaving him with an older, slower team until some chances to fill in the blanks open up. However, he too often plays favorites with guys who don't warrant it (Brian Gionta is NOT a good center, there's a reason he was a career AHL'er; Steve Bernier isn't very effective at all; etc.), he yo-yo's young players and sits them over the slightest mistakes when they should be playing and developing, and that's not going to cut it given the direction the Devils are likely to be going in after this season with a whole slew of defensive prospects on the horizon. If Lou could talk to him this offseason and say "we have to adjust our regular personnel choices", and he adjusts, I'd be thrilled. I'm just not so sure he will.

The thing I worry about is if Lou has the same mindset as PDB and the game's passed him by since the mid 00's. Drafting Stefan Matteau instead of giving up the second lowest first round pick in the 2012 draft for our Kovalchuk tax was a really bad move in hindsight. Now the team is going to have to give up a fairly high first round pick when they need something like that to help rebuild.

Stamkos will not be playing in Sochi. Should they add St.Louis now?
