Uh huh... whatever you say... I've seen more and done more around the NHL
than you ever will. I know when a team is focused and playing smart hockey
and when they are choosing their spots. And again... being a fan does not
mean I have blow the team every chance I get. It means when I don't see them
putting in a full effort I let them know it. If you don't like it, you don't
have to read my messages. In fact, if you got a decent computer, it should
have come with a delete key, or even better, figure out how to use the
filtering options on your email program. That way you'll never ever have to
see my postings. I'd prefer it that way.

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

I'm disgusted. Here we have, as our team of a choice, a bunch of guys
who
have decided to mail it in. They don't give 100%, and for the few times
that
they do give a decent effort, as soon as things go against them, they
have
given up. This series is over. I don't want to hear about how they play
best
when their backs are to the wall. I don't want to hear about injuries.
They
aren't trying. Period. Sure, one or two are putting in a full effort,
but
as a whole? Nope. The two goals tonight... on fucking BREAKAWAYS! When
the
fuck was the last time that happened to the Devils in the same month,
let
alone the same goddam game? That's just stupid, irresponsible hockey.
This
is the only team I know of that can completely dominate 3/4ths of a
period
and still come out looking like they were outplayed. Why? Because one
team
doesn't give up, and the other one already has. This team is done. It's
over. And I'm not satisfied. I won't take heart in the fact that at
least
they made the finals. Why? Because they forgot to at least show up for
the
finals. I could accept a loss to Colorado if the Devils had played
solid
hockey. If we had a 6 or 7 game series on our hands, and all the games
were
close, nail biting, edge of your seat contests, and yet the Devils came
up
just a bit short, I could accept that. What we have is one team playing
solid hockey, and another team playing a shift here and there, when they
feel like it. Watching this series, there is no doubt in my mind, if
the
devils ever decided to play to their ability, they would win. But they
have
no heart, no guts, and worst of all, no self respect.
