[Richer's Ghost]

Them Duke boys are at it again

 

[MasterofGrond]

Boys should be looser this time around.

Canes are good, but we’re better if Schmid keeps Schmiding

 

[Emperoreddy]

Canes are a very good team, but they are missing key pieces and we should have the edge in goal.

I like our chances

 

[Bcap88]

Get Bratt,Nico and timo going and this one is devils in a runaway

 

[FinnishDevil]

I remember reading something about Canes trading Haula partly due to locker room issues and fans booing him when he returned.

“There’s a big reason Erik Haula was traded,” Bally Sports South analyst Shane Willis said during Wednesday’s broadcast. “It’s not because of his skill. I’ll leave it at that.”

Okay I have no clue why the link is not working, I got it from Google and am not subscribed to this site.

When the Devils are at the Canes arena they need to...

 

[Emperoreddy]

We have the best regular season GD out of the 4 remaining East teams (second best behind Dallas)

never meanin' no harm

waylon, man....f*** yes

 

[Blackjack]

Man that one Canes fan on the main board is f***ing insufferable

J Mac made a joke about beating the perfectly built team in round one and it went right over his head.

Ever fanbase has got a few, and most of them are diehard main boarders because their own board would laugh them out of the room

Devils in 6

I think they’ll be harder to get chances on, but they just may be easier to get shots past with the two old, decaying has-been’s.

I’m wondering if we see Kochetkov at any point? We’d probably have to either blow both of the decrepit guys out or one of them takes yet another one of their frequent trips to the IR.

Both Raanta and Kochetkov were horrendous against us in the regular season. I don’t think we saw Freddie the fossil not once.

 

[Emperoreddy]

As amazing as that was. It was just round 1 and now it starts to sink in.

We are only 12 wins away, and Carolina is tye only team left with a better regular season record then us.

Do you believe?

I mean the Devils are just mirroring the season start so I expect 3 sweeps are incoming.

 

[Alex NJD]

Definitely shouldn't underestimate the Canes, they're well coached and play greater than their parts. Which is why they end up at the top of the standings without necessarily looking super elite on paper.

That said I saw on the main boards Canes and Isles fans were agreeing to a post saying that the series was a few lucky bounces from being a sweep in either direction. With Raanta/Anderson in net and Nico/Timo/Bratt and even Jack being due some more points I can see an offensive explosion.

Anderson is a huge question mark as he hasn't played almost all year besides that Game 6.

 

[jkrdevil]

Should be a close series, even with their injuries. They are a very well coached team.

 

[Comparison Ford]

think this goes the distance, Canes are very good at home ice because they can match lines.

would love to steal a game from them at home in the first two.

 

[JrFischer54]

Think only having one day off is a good thing. No sitting around dwelling on the win against the rangers.

 

[Devs3cups]

I like our chances

That's where I'm at and I respect the Canes a lot.

 

[hobgoblin933]

They're a good team but they're missing two of their best forwards.

It'll be tough but it's definitely a winnable series for us.

 

[NHL Fanatik]

Hurricane, sugar cane, cocaine, don't matter, Devils in 4

HEAT IN 4

 

[Oneiro]

Our series clincher really resembled the last win over CAR in the regular season.

I feel good about our chances.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Canes better watch out on game two for CINCO DE MAYO. f***ing taco onslaught.

 

[Forge]

Hoping Timo is well enough to play (and play at a high level). Those kind of hits can change you, even if you're cleared to play

Doubt he's too shaken by it, he's a tough cookie. He also ended the game, if it was that bad, doubt he would've come out. Worst case he'll wear a face shield.
