So as an out of towner, I believe that all the games are simulcast (for the first round at least) on one of the NBC channels?

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

I remember actually going TO a Devils game from a Mets game back to back (or reverse) a few years back, still don't remember how or why - I think I just wanted to do the all-day marathon for the heck of it cause I wound up with tickets to both, I just remember it was late in the Devils' season.

Yes all games on either NBC, NBCSN, CNBC, USA or NHL Network in round one nationally. MSG+ in NJ (though I believe the NBC feed will still be available.

Looking at the schedule Game 1 will likely be on NHL Network though

Tampa has SEVEN 20 goal scorers. Only a complete & focused attention to playing thoughtful, TEAM DEFENSE will win this series.

That said, I think they can do it.

The Devils will be huge underdogs, but I think the Devils style of play will seriously annoy Tampa.

I'm going Devils in 7 games (fingers crossed).

Tampa's PK is horrendous but their PP is lethal

Special teams are going to be key. They absolutely have to stay out of the box.

Our special teams really helped out down the stretch. If they can keep it rolling into the playoffs, that would give us an immense boost.

Also good to know about their PK. our speed is always a threat to draw calls

This will be a good series and will go at least 6 games. We can compete with anybody. Our guys can also play looser than Tampa, all the pressure is on them.

Most important players for the devils will be Pavel Zacha as 2c and Will Butcher on D. We are going to need maximum offense this series.

We will need everyone to step up and chip in .

And Kink has to continue to where he left off down the stretch.

TV Schedule for games 1-4 nationally

Game 1: NHL Netowrk
Game 2: NBC
Game 3: CNBC
Game 4: GOLF Network!!!

I don't think it is a good sign if the first possible elimination game is on Golf Network

Aside from Game 2 we will have our broadcasts on msg+ I hope?

We should definitely keep a great transition defenseman with 9 even strength goals on the bench against the most powerful offensive team in the league though. That much is clear. That will increase our odds of beating Tampa.

I thought all Met fans were Ranger fans

I rarely see Met/Devil fans. Although the Yankee/Rags fan combo is pretty common.

I feel like all Met, Ranger, Jet and Knick fans have to stick together since they are all equally as mediocre.
