Rivalry? not really, it will be like the Pens. division rivals yes, but not a real fierce rivalry like Devs/Rags or Habs/Bruins
nervous? not at all. Canes and Jackets will be fighting for last place. People are giving them way more credit than they should

No I'm not nervous. We don't seem to struggle against them in the regular season. They will likely be at the bottom of this division. They couldn't do **** the last 4 years against the corpses in the Southeast division.
Word.

Jackets got a nice hard working team and are a team on rise
Don't take them lightly... If it wasn't for Mason getting another chance as #1 early last year (And Failing as expected) they would have been in playoffs

they had a historic year from their goalie and still missed. They aren't that great.

Their games might be a little more heated from playing each other in the same division, but I don't think it'll erupt into an all out rivalry. Just a battle to get the points.
As for being nervous. Nope.

I'm not convinced by the Blue Jackets at all. They went from Steve Mason's absolutely league worst brutal goaltending to Bobrovsky having league best goaltending last year.
I think even if Bobrovsky is still better than average this year, they'll still struggle to make the playoffs. He might have to be as good this year for them to do anything.
I am a little worried about them having Gaborik and Horton (Supposedly out until December) but other than that I'm really not too scared of them.
Not scared of the Flyers either. That's the biggest joke of a goaltending tandem in the league. On a team that already leaves their goalies out to dry, you're definitely not going too far with the worst goalies in the league the last 5-6 years in there.

Hi, I'm mat.
Nervous...no.
Rivalry...I guess since we've met in the playoffs so much and there are A LOT of Devils fans in NC.

I think most Devils fans don't consider the Canes a huge rival.
What worries me is that I've been told by a friend down there that the Canes fans consider the Devs one of their biggest (if not THE biggest) rivals, so they get up for games against us, but we consider them just some opponent.

My level of unlike for Eric Staal is one of the highest amongst all of the people in the world.
I consider them our 2nd biggest rival after the NYR. Personally I think the PHI rivalry is quite overblown, but then again I don't live in Jersey.

on par of my hate of the slug team albeit for different reasons.
looking forward to this **** storm for them.......theyve got **** all

I wouldn't mind going there to see a game. Been told it's a good atmosphere, and a pretty nice place. The organization seems really corny though. That goal horn sounds like it's running out of air. And that goal song with the Ric Flair woos, and Fred Flintstone yabba dabba do, and other strange clips and noises. What's up with that? Who the hell approves of that? It's pretty damn embarrassing if you ask me.

I'd take the "Yabba Dabba Doo" clip over our stupid ass "You Suck" chant any day.
Rivalries that aren't based on nearby location come and go. Our rivalry with NYR and PHI will last as long as we all stay in the same spots. Other rivalries rise and fall with playoff series.
5-10 years ago, we had rivalries with Ottawa and Carolina. Not so much anymore.

wow, i wasn't sure what you were talking about because i don't watch much canes, and when i do they don't score very often..... but i looked it up, and if for some reason the devils decided this was going to be our new goal song, i would find another team......

At least that part isn't actually dubbed into our song though.
It's BAD! The Panthers can get a little corny at times too. They have that carnival ride PA announcer. Before he announces a Panthers goal he yells PAAANNTHEERS!!

Hi, I'm mat.
I went there once.. my uncle lives down there...I was 17...got drunk and acted like a complete idiot. It was 2007 the year after they won the cup. I wore a blank red Devils jersey and some Canes fans came up to me and said " who are you ? gonna replace elias tonight ? " Patty was hurt and I believe it was one of Clarksons first games...or Rassmussen...I'm not sure...I was very drunk.
So we won the game...and I was getting chirped by some rednecks...so...in my drunken state...I start running around the concourse chanting " THREE CUPS! * clap clap * THREE CUPS " I thought I was hilarious...looking back I probably would of kicked my own ass.
