GDT: Devils @ Canes - Stanley Cup Playoffs - Rd 2, Gm 5 - 7:00 PM - TNT

[MauDevils]

Classic trap game for the Canes and they are still kicking the crap out of us.

 

[Tiredswede]

McLeod is THE player of this playoffs to me. Could be one of the best 4th liners in the league for a long time

 

[NJDevs26]

Classic Canes flinging garbage from anywhere deflected goal

That's what you have to do in the postseason though, that's why all the fancy passes and advanced stats don't work when it becomes a grind-it-out game.

 

[njdevils1982]

holy f*** this sportsnet broadcast is getting on my nerves

option 2 is espn

...what a joke we have no other choices

 

[Andre Palot]

Goalie has to be priority A B and C

Varlamov COME ON DOWN

 

[Bleedred]

I can't find the Tatar post, it got lost in the shuffle, but I'm gonna bet whenever our last game of this year is, will be his last game as a Devil.

I don't think he's coming back. I was always skeptical he was coming back, but after these playoffs? That punched the ticket.

Unless we somehow come back and he's some kind of a figure in dragging out of the mud. And in that case, he may cost more than he would have and we don't bring him back anyway lol.

 

[jkrdevil]

What is Severson doing?

 

[JK3]

Vintage Severson tonight.

 

[sddev]

Bratt. LOL.

 

[OmNomNom]

May he will never figure it out, but it`s ok, not every team play like Carolina. He can be very effective against other teams.

i agree w this - i think carolina is one of very few teams that play this way

the trouble is, if teams start having huge success with this playstyle, i wonder if GMs will change team-building strategies

 

[Dylan9z9]

How many times can they get beat to the puck ....awful

 

[Devils731]

It’s tough seeing Carolina’s wingers actually contribute in the defensive zone because they cover the defenseman.

Devils system asks the wingers to cover an empty part of the ice and let’s the defenseman be an easy outlet.

Their wingers being higher also saves them energy and lets them have spacing in the zone on the breakout.

 

[lightsout]

The Canes are cheating so hard on the Devils wrapping the pick around the boards they are leaving the middle of the ice wide open. And they keep giving it right to them along the boards.

Get the puck to a skater/stickhandler and let them carry the puck out.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

8 shots not cutting it. Get off the boards and let it fly and chase for rebounds

F off severson

 

[Emperoreddy]

All of Sevo's bad habits on display

 

[MauDevils]

A Devil lightly skating to that puck and a Cane diving for it. This series in a nutshell.

 

[Bleedred]

Varlamov COME ON DOWN

f*** no

Too old and he'll come here and probably won't be better than Vitek this year.

He overachieved a little bit on the Islanders, but not so much this year.

He's nothing but a name at this point. Not saying he's terrible, but he's probably no upgrade.

 

[jkrdevil]

Looks like Marino and Hughes is a pairing now.

 

[OmNomNom]

bench sevo

 

[Blender]

Looks like Marino and Hughes is a pairing now.

Hopefully a preview for next season.

 

[NJDevilsFan21]

Again Bratt doing nothing with his speed in the offensive zone.

 

[MartyOwns]

bench sevo

contractually

 

[KovalchukFistPump]

McLeod is THE player of this playoffs to me. Could be one of the best 4th liners in the league for a long time

The best 4th liner is a not good enough 3rd liner. I'd rather he develop into a defensively-responsible 3C who can pitch in like 35 points. Preferably after we sign him to some term.

 

[Bleedred]

Looking like a matter of time before they get another.

 

[Alex NJD]

Ref helping out on the forecheck again lol
