Pre-Game Talk: Series Preview: Your New Jersey Devils vs. Tampa Bay Lightning

[Bleedred]

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

I LOL'd at Golf Network.

I had to quickly check my channels to make sure that I even have the Golf Network! Luckily I do.

 

[glenwo2]

anyone have the betting odds on us winning the series?

Yeah :


#9 and #13

and #1

That's our odds.

 

[Missionhockey]

We were going to be an underdog no matter who we played. May as well go straight at the top dog.

Golf Channel is packaged together with NBCSN for the most part so if you get one you get the other. They are often next to each other. But still...

 

[glenwo2]

Key to this series is to outscore the opponent in each game. If they do that, the Devils should be able to advance to the next round

Chico, is that you?

 

[Cheddabombs]

Aww man, gonna miss game 2 because it's an afternoon game, that's so shitty.

[glenwo2]

Oh and DEVILS IN 6.

I just have that feeling that the Devils will advance...in front of the home fans...and The Rock will be ROCKIN'!!!

Game Fore

 

[Blender]

We need to be relentless on the puck and be mindful of their explosive offense. Attack their skilled players at every turn to force turnovers and capitalize on them. Don't take unnecessary risks and contain them to the outside in our zone as much as possible.

This is a winnable series, but it's going to be f***ing tough as Tampa is a juggernaut on paper.

 

[Burner Account]

Preferred this matchup.

 

[BenedictGomez]

I rarely see Met/Devil fans.

I'm a Mets fan.

You live in Florida.

You honestly thought for one second that you might NOT have Golf Channel?

The bolded just illustrated Ray Shero's goal for the Devils franchise :

FAST
ATTACKING
SUPPORTING

 

[BenedictGomez]

I'd prefer:

FAST
ATTACKING
TENACIOUS


Just so I could call it FAT.

Exactly why I'm saying it. We've been at our best this season when we've been doing those things, and at our worst when we haven't. If we show up and play sloppy or loose for long stretches of the games, they will run us out of the building. If we manage the puck well and play to our strengths, we stand a chance. The Lightning haven't exactly been playing inspired hockey lately either.

Yes we're FAT
We're FAT
You know it.

 

[njdevils1982]

[HenriquesJawLine]

Golf network?

REALLY, NHL?

REALLY??

Yea it's awesome that every single playoff game is nationally televised and they use all of their affiliated channels

 

[Bleedred]

You live in Florida.

You honestly thought for one second that you might NOT have Golf Channel?

I figured I did haha, but I've never really watched it before.

 

[Bleedred]

It actually is 2 channels below NBCSN on DirecTV.

Yeah...but....GOLF?

 

[jkrdevil]

It is funny, but it wasn't that long ago I remember having to find illegal streams of playoff games because not all the games were aired on TV nationally.

 

[Davegarri]

I don't know about anyone else, but I am really pumped to see the playoff intro this year.

The one in 2012 was sick and tbh I still watch it sometimes when I want to be pumped up lol

 

[NjDevsRR]

Yeah...but....GOLF?

Hey hey, step back again son. I LOVE Golf Network.

 

[BenedictGomez]

It is funny, but it wasn't that long ago I remember having to find illegal streams of playoff games because not all the games were aired on TV nationally.

It is funny, but it wasn't that long ago I remember the internet didn't exist, NHL Center Ice on cable & satellite didn't exist, and you watched whichever playoff game ESPN decided you'd watch.

AND WE LIKED IT!!
