GDT: Devils @ Hurricanes - 2025 Playoffs! RD1 GM5 - 7:30 PM - MSG, TBS, MAX

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

I fully expect them to turtle like they have all season with a lead and cough it up especially since second periods against the canes in the playoffs have been their worst in this series.

Early PK will be huge, the Canes having to play down 3-0 with that sieve in net is too our advantage. The Devils should be able to get a few odd mans on Carolina regardless.

 

[Davegarri]

Devils jump to a 3 goal lead in the first?!?!?!?!?!?!?


only to win 4-3 at the end???

lets do it!

Bruh

 

[Killing Joke]

They need to keep their foot on the gas and their defense has to move the puck quicker and cleaner. Still too slow with the puck at times.

 

[Killing Joke]

Yes. We've been getting killed on special teams, not 5v5.

Funny thing is 5v5 was the weakness when compared to the canes, and the strength was special teams for us over them.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

not that I wanna change how they're playing, but maybe no D jumping up in the play as much

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Casey and Nemec more than holding their own.

Is Casey playing LD or is that Nemec?

 

[Louskoolaid89]

We'll, that 1st period was a bitchslap of optimism to the face of most New Jersey Devils fans including me!

 

[It Takes 2 To Tango]

Pesce is just on point

They won't but you also don't want to turtle. Forwards are gonna have to be huge with chipping it past Carolina's dmen for odd mans

 

[SJinNewJersey]

FFS, kill a f***ing penalty.

 

[NJDevils17]

Pesce has to be nursing something serious with the way he’s moving. Toradol up but you can see it in strides

 

[jkrdevil]

Disaster start

 

[It Takes 2 To Tango]

They just can’t get a kill

Edit: It was 5-on-5

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

lol f*** off

they just had 6 guys on the ice

 

[Bleedred]

Penalty killing has been a HUGE PROBLEM this series.

And this one isn't even gonna count as a PP goal.

 

[Signal]

I dont think this team's heart can be questioned at this point

My biggest worry before this game was we would go out quietly.

 

[BostonDevil]

We were having too much fun

 

[Satans Hockey]

Damn it

 

[Incharge1976]

Backdoor was wide open

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Absurd pass by Hall

 

[My3Sons]

Ugh

 

[Comparison Ford]

damn we had just killed it too. we knew it wasnt gonna be easy

 

[jkrdevil]

Haula and Bratt couldn’t get it deep and that change gave them room

 

[Jersey Fresh]

It’s never easy.

 

[Bleedred]

Let's call it like it is, horrible PK and couldn't get clears, but that's another savable puck.
