Ah thanks for merging! Glad we’re on the same wavelength.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

Lets go!!!! So excited to be back in the playoffs!

 

[MartyOwns]

[My3Sons]

Dano on NHL network suggested that NJ will not be overwhwlmed and the regular season success will at least give them some confidence in what could be an intimidating situation.

Let's go Devils! Hoping to be at game 1. This is the matchup I wanted. I think we can play with these guys. Will be a lot of fun to watch. I'm just so happy we made it back to the playoffs where we belong. Been a long tough road.

Let's shock the world.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Dis gonna be good.

 

[MadDevil]

I say we go BPA...wait...playoffs? How does this work again?

 

[Its a Trap]

Disco disco good good

 

[Devils Dominion]

On the bright side, we don't have to worry about Krecji, Bergeron, Pasternak, Marchand, Rask, for now.

Or even Namestnikov

So glad the Saturday game is at 3. I have tickets to the Red Bulls game at 1 and the Mets game at 7. I'm gonna go to a bar in Newark after the Bulls game and just go straight to Citi field from there.

Dear god that's some marathon Hope for your sake it isn't an OT game that afternoon.

 

[Lou is God]

I guess we'll be on NBC?

 

[Emperoreddy]

Devils in 7. Doubting this team is for suckers

 

[Davegarri]

Yeah that would suck. I'll most likely be late to the Mets game, but that's alright

Devils in 4. You are doubting a bit to much still

That sounds like the best day ever. If the weather is nice maybe I'll get cheap Mets tickets and head to McFadden's for the Devil game.

 

[Cage Helmet]

Won’t be up north until the week of game 6 so I won’t be able to see the first two home games, but I’m gonna try and get to as many of the Tampa games as possible. I love that game 2 is a 3:00 PM start. Can get home early enough to enjoy Saturday night with the wife.

And I like our chances.

 

[MadDevil]

So, since this team likes killing us, how many OT games do we get? 3? 4?

 

[Davegarri]

Supposed to be in the 60s or 70s if I remember correctly. It's also fireworks night! lol

 

[jkrdevil]

I guess we'll be on NBC?

Depends on where you are located. Col-Nsh is on at the same time so it seems like they are going with the regional reverse mirror approach. Nj-Tampa on NBC in the east and likely CNBC in the west (NBCSN has Man City Tottenham at the same time).

 

[Bleedred]

You know what? f*** it man! Devils in 7! Even if we don't win, I would be shocked if we were out in less than 6 and I don't think we're getting eliminated at home.

Some team is gonna upset someone this round and I think we'd be the biggest upset. I don't see the CBJ beating Washington as an upset.
