The New Jersey Devils have been awful to start the season, and have lost in every single way possible. So, we will try to make you laugh (or cry) by giving you scenarios where this could be worse.
So, the New Jersey Devils are really bad to start the season. Nothing is working, and the fanbase is not happy with the team’s performance.
This, after one of the “biggest offseasons” in team history. The Devils added P.K. Subban, Jack Hughes, Nikita Gusev and Wayne Simmonds all in one summer. Add onto that, Taylor Hall returns from a knee injury that took most of the previous season. Cory Schneider looked very good, and Mackenzie Blackwood was more than a serviceable backup.
Then, the games started to count. The Devils are getting railroaded every single night. No lead is safe, but if the team goes down, they can’t seem to respond.
So, since we don’t have anything nice to say, we won’t say anything at all about that. Instead of talking more about what has gone wrong, let’s talk about how it could be worse. There are some franchises that are dealing with worse. Even in the New York Metropolitan Area, there are teams putting them through awful times despite the talent on the roster.
There are many ways that things could be much worse, but we chose five that really stuck out. Remember, this is supposed to be in jest, so let’s take it as such. When you’re dealing with a season like this, sometimes we all need a laugh.
