Ya know Rick? Thats how I would have pictured an e-mail titled coming from
you because thats exactly what it was 'Heartless Gutless and Just Plain
Stupid.' Thank you for giving up on them and proving my point that you don't
know Jack about the sport. Do alot of Devil fans a favor and keep your radio
and TV off next time they play. Or better yet hop a ride on the ferry over
to Manhattan and join them.
Thanks again,
Scottso

<BR>I'm disgusted. Here we have, as our team of a choice, a bunch of guys who
<BR>have decided to mail it in. They don't give 100%, and for the few times that
<BR>they do give a decent effort, as soon as things go against them, they have
<BR>given up. This series is over. I don't want to hear about how they play best
<BR>when their backs are to the wall. I don't want to hear about injuries. They
<BR>aren't trying. Period. Sure, one or two are putting in a full effort, but
<BR>as a whole? Nope. The two goals tonight... on fucking BREAKAWAYS! When the
<BR>fuck was the last time that happened to the Devils in the same month, let
<BR>alone the same goddam game? That's just stupid, irresponsible hockey. This
<BR>is the only team I know of that can completely dominate 3/4ths of a period
<BR>and still come out looking like they were outplayed. Why? Because one team
<BR>doesn't give up, and the other one already has. This team is done. It's
<BR>over. And I'm not satisfied. I won't take heart in the fact that at least

<BR>close, nail biting, edge of your seat contests, and yet the Devils came up
<BR>just a bit short, I could accept that. What we have is one team playing
<BR>solid hockey, and another team playing a shift here and there, when they
<BR>feel like it. Watching this series, there is no doubt in my mind, if the
<BR>devils ever decided to play to their ability, they would win. But they have
<BR>no heart, no guts, and worst of all, no self respect.
