Hopefully Timo is GTG for game one.

And I don’t want to see 44 suit up another game. I don’t care if the entire team has Covid sprinkled with gonorrhea and he’s the only one left—call up someone else

He was back on the bench tonight. Looked like he got some stitches on the nose.

more hate in round 2.

let's go!

 

[Bramskii]

Canes have given me some of the most heartbreaking losses ever as a fan of this team. 06 last second tying goal and then losing in OT ruining a fairytale season for the Devils, 09 the buzzer beater and collapse in game 7. Please let this be different.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I want revenge for 09

 

[None Shall Pass]

I can see Nico going off this series. Shesterkin is probably the best goalie in the world and he stopped a lot of shots that other goaltenders wouldn't.

I feel a lot more confident in our chances now that we don't have to face him anymore.

 

[BostonDevil]

I feel good about this one

 

[Saugus]

Feels great to even need this thread in the first place.

 

[None Shall Pass]

There's a problem with our team though.

They're too young.

They've probably never even been to Raleigh.

 

[Mgd31]

Quick turnaround to Wed, so not too confident about game 1 but I like our overall chances.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

I like our chances. It just won’t have the same feeling as beating the Rangers. The only thing better would be to win the cup. Congrats to the Devils. Well deserved.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Rangers only hope was a smothering low-event series decided by special teams and goaltending.

Canes have far worse goaltending and a deeper roster (IMO), I'm expecting a more high event series. Pretty confident we'll see some points from the big guys.

That's the problem.

As far as I know, Carolina fans consider us their biggest rival. Meanwhile, we just consider them a gnat buzzing in our faces.

That being said, I think we can turn it around this year.

I prefer that to the rust. I honestly think we’ll have an advantage for game 1.

This is the game you could make a case for Luke playing. Get some fresh legs out there for Game 1.

Shesterkin, Ullmark, Sorokin all out in the first round is huge.

if Schmid keeps rolling NJ is going to be a big problem

 

[NJDevs26]

Funny how quickly the Devils sent out the ticket emails before the NHL even deigned to give us a schedule

And Vasi…there are no ‘elite’ goalies left

 

[Blackjack]

I don’t really care anymore. Ruff is f***ing clueless and will just pull him out again anyway. Send him back to Michigan to finish his classes.

 

[Rhodes 81]

This is a coin-flip series. Both teams have similar strengths. They're missing Scechnikov and Terravainen though, but defending their offensive D might give us some headaches.

 

[njdevils1982]

RAWLY MUST FALL

 

[Blackjack]

And Vasi…there are no ‘elite’ goalies left

Oettinger probably the best remaining. Dallas probably the scariest team remaining.
