New Jersey Devils: Can Bad Teams Revel When Rivals Have Bad Nights?

On Thursday night, many New Jersey Devils fans hit Twitter talking about hockey. No, the Devils weren’t playing that night. The New York Rangers were, well at least they attempted to. It was a weird night for them. They were playing the uber talented Tampa Bay Lightning. The head coach decided to healthy scratch second-overall pick Kaapo Kakko. Then, the wheels fell off almost immediately.

The Rangers allowed four goals before even recording a shot on net. In 1:01 of game play, the Lightning scored three times. The final scored ended up being 9-3.
