This is now 5 games of the 9 the Debbies have played that they have allowed 5 goals or more. Woof. I'm also really angry we could only score 2 goals in the other 4 games. Major indictment.
Panarin had Game 3 & the series on his stick in OT with half the net open & shot it 3 feet wide. And here we are.
 
Ruffed up

Haven't been watching this series but I bet Carolina capitalized on rebounds unlike us.
The Devils have massive flaws in their game. It just requires hard work and pressure. Goals take care of themselves because they have defense that cant make a first pass under pressure and terrible goaltending.
 
Insane how unprepared this team is to start series. Ruff sucks. This is why I always say you can't judge a coach just based on the fact that his team wins games.

I don't think its lack of preperation.

I said it before the series started when everyone wanted to throw NJ into the ECF, this is an awful matchup style wise for NJ. Schmid was a lock to get lit up in this series and I don't think Vanicek is going to be a whole lot better.

It angers me that the Rangers didn't/wouldn't/couldn't spook the Devils D into coughing up the puck. Carolina has murdered them in that regard.

We did in the first two games because the Devils partook in playing snail hockey with the Rangers.

I didn't see those games but from what I read it sounded like the Rangers had scouted the Devils really well.

They made adjustments, Rangers PP went ice cold and that was that.

NJ coaching staff has their work cut out for them. This is going to be a much harder task than "pay attention to Kreider and allow Gallant to continue to galaxy brain the PP."

If they try to play the trap vs the Hurricanes they might as well just forfeit the next 2 games.

This is like when we barely beat Montreal but got slammed by a barely functional Senators team running on coke except we don't beat Montreal and Montreal gets slammed by Ottawa.

And the Ottawa barely lost to the worst Cup winner the since the lockout. The Pens played like absolute shit in 2017. It was almost Ottawa vs Nashville. Worst year of hockey.
