GDT: Devils @ Canes Game 1: Back to the Future

[AhosDatsyukian]

Congrats on the prediction and bragging rights @AhosDatsyukian but don't push your luck

Haha yep. She predicted Devils in 4 so at least I have that. I’ve tempered my expectations already and this great game 1 doesn’t have me drinking the koolaid yet. 2 more games like this to go up 3-0 and no guarantees…

Two different anthem singers for Canada and America? You do you Vegas.

 

[WreckingCrew]

We definitely got "game one Devils" like the Rangers, they just didn't know what to expect from us. Great game by the boys, they definitely looked more energetic and well-rested...IF they can keep that effort up it should be a good series and we have a serious chance of moving on. Once NJD find their game we're going to have to keep up or they could swing things quickly.

 

[ElmCityGuy]

Just for fun I vote that the Canes score 5 in every game and see if they can hold the Devils to 4.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

I personally love this shit. No need to take everything so seriously in my mind. Cringe it the f*** up baby!

Every time somebody complains about something in hockey being cringy or silly or whatever, I'm reminded of the ref from Slapshot.







We're a bunch of adults watching a bunch of grown men play a f***ing game. That's inherently silly. Embrace the silliness. Lean into it. Don't be afraid to have some fun here and there.

 

[Rick Davis]

Yeah no reason to get cocky yet if you’re a Canes fan….these Deville sonsabitches could drop 10 on us Friday night and not break a sweat!

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I don't remember that but they should bring back robot Stormy f***ing shit up

It was a one-off. It’s one of those memories that has probably eroded to the point of sounding like a weird fever dream if I described my recollection of the exact scene, but I’m confident someone dressed up as either a King or an “Oiler” representative and “fought” someone on the ice.

I'm just joking with you. I actually am a recklessly over-the-top trash talker with friends and family, so I love it!

At least this Vegas guy doesn't riff on every interval like SOME teams's anthem singers

Wait they do a hurricane siren too? What the devil?

Everything in Vegas is just a cheap imitation.

I think the Ranger fans may be happier than our own.

Boomer was so disgusted today that there has been “0” respect given to the Canes. He said it to a NJ reporter. It was a wow moment.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Great game by the Canes, but I'm not putting much stock into it. New Jersey isn't going to spot us 3 goals before they start playing every game.

I mean, they CAN and I wouldn't complain...

dis tew cute

Yep. Win 2-1 or 5-1 or 8-1, at the end of the day it’s 1-0 in the series and Friday is a whole new game.

That said, I’d rather be dominant than not be dominant.

 

[CandyCanes]

Yeah that was a great game

 

[MisterDobz]

I just keep telling myself, ‘that’s only 1 game’.


but what a game it was!

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Skjei is awesome. Aho and Jarvis were awesome. Devils had trouble entering the ozone in periods I saw, the 2nd and 3rd, if that doesn't change this won't be a long series

The whole presentation in Vegas is just wild. It’s like a Canes home game amped up to 11 with over the top craziness. Sometimes it feels like the circus, sometimes it feels like a night club. TBH it’s one of the best home environments in the league, but you have to take it not-too-seriously.

I’d be a fool to actually predict this, but…

Major power forward winger gets hurt in March?

President’s Trophy winner out in the 1st round in a major upset?

Veteran scorer wins the first round on a harmless OT shot in Game 6?

Lindy Ruff involved in some capacity?

…would a 4-1 win in Round 2 over the New Jersey Devils be enough to really buy in to the whole “rhyme of history” thing going on here?

 

[A Star is Burns]

I was 100% convinced Aho would find a goal. He was a man on a mission. Hope he keeps that up. And yeah, Jarvy been coming in strong too. I always was but very glad we held into him. He's getting very good at getting around defenders and driving the net.

One adult beverage per period of hockey watched starting at the first period of the eastern conference game that night is my MO for the first two rounds of the playoffs.

No sir(or ma'am) one craft beer at the start of the period, near the 10 minute mark have some light beer (right now my choice is Bud Next) also have to pre game a beer or 2

I drink heavier drinks than beer.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Canes move to 19-5 under Brind'Amour in the playoffs when not allowing a PPG. They're 10-21 when they do.

If they can just avoid going up against a hot PP this year...

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Also, Necas is the most snakebitten man alive right now...

Let’s hope Vegas can eliminate the Oilers, then.
