PERSPECTIVE: 
It can be easy to get hung up on the #NJDevils finishing a perfect 7-0-0 in the preseason, but it genuinely means nothing. The last team to have an undefeated preseason was the 2016-17 Colorado Avalanche, who finished a league-worst 22-56-4. 

Now, that’s not to say the Devils will finish anything even remotely close to that. That would probably be the worst drop-off from preseason expectations in NHL history. However, it’s the truth that a lot of these games have been against minor leaguers who end up on waivers in the days after. With the depth the Devils have, they *should* be beating most teams pretty handily in the preseason. 

It literally means nothing. There’s no trophy or any sort of recognition. The final scores on opening night and beyond will mean a hundred times more than their collective record this preseason ever did. (Excerpt from my newest #THW article – in story and bio)

That doesn’t mean there weren’t great signs. This team has an EXTREMELY bright future ahead. But winning organizations like the Devils have higher standards. There’s no reason to celebrate any of this. It’s go time on Thursday; that’s all that matters. 😈
