The Canes are a really good team, but more importantly they have a really good structure that might help them overcome the loss of star players. They’ve always been about the team effort, and that’s something I respect. That being said I think the Devils have all the tools to win.

Not for most. I do have some schedule constraints with my daughter and Mother in law tho. If I can go by savings will be taking a hit, hahah

With the Devils coming off the high of beating the Rangers, game one in Carolina could be a problem. And I also hope Meier is able to play in this series. We haven’t seen him at his best and he’s due.
I just grabbed tickets for Wednesday. Woot.
I think we're going to be chomping at the bit to keep rolling. The lack of an extra day or two off may actually work in our favor (at least in my head).
I think the question is how we adjust to the different style. Special teams may actually decide this series, but this time in reverse of the last series. They may edge us out 5v5, and our PP may be the difference.

honestly, looked like it was his helmet that got hit and maybe the visor clipped his nose. definitely got hurt but i’m hoping it’s not as bad as a concussion and he can get back out there soon

Canes blocking tickets from anyone from NJ, my brother in the Carolinas picking up his son from college and they had to get his roommate to buy the tickets.

This is absolutely house money at this point. But I'm greedy and so should the team be. They have as good a chance as any. Just play their game, put it all out on the ice and let the chips fall where they may. I'm so proud of this group

it's house money for us as fans for sure, and to an extent the players, but the goal is to win the cup not beat the rangers. that's what they dream about so hoping it's back to work today and get ready to play their game against carolina
that said no matter what happens every devils fan should be happy as f*cking f*ck for how this season has gone
Carolina is definitely a different type of challenge. A lot of speed & defend really, really hard firstly. They also seem to have an aura of everyone being in sync no matter what the situation is. Very disciplined in the way they play.

This is maybe the Devils best chance to win the cup in the next 3 years, depending on the trajectory of L.Hughes/Nemec, and contract demands of Meier/Bratt. Also could win the cup with Severson, which would be amazing.
No, but it will be every other day based of the tv schedules. Shouldn’t be any day games.

It’s not, but teams will get away with it until someone challenges in court or something. I don’t know why the NHL permits it.
What annoying is that there is really no danger of Canes fans getting outnumbered or even meaningfully challenged by Devils fans, this isn’t Toronto or Montreal or something. They’re just doing it to troll.
It would also be nice to get a cup for Ruff. Who knows if he's back next year or pushed up to the front office because of promises made to Brunette.

what a high from last night but a quick turnaround lol. hopefully Timo is okay and the top guys on the devils shooting luck changes in this series as well.
Big dogs knocked out and Schmid on a run. If Meier can find his game we’re right there with Carolina, Toronto, Florida, and whoever comes out of the West.

Carolina having the late evening to start formulate a game plan against NJ then a full practice to execute said game plan should give them a massive advantage in game 1. At the very least NJ should be having an in-depth video session on the Canes systems and special teams.

At this point the only way I don’t see him coming back is if he wins a Cup and buys a round for us cynics on the way out
At the same time, sitting for several days not playing games and the Devils coming in energized from a game two days earlier favors them
NJ killed thr Rangers after the first two games and the series would have ended in six if not for Shesterkin. I don’t see the Carolina offemse being as dangerous as thr Rangers offemse. Just play the same way they played against the Rangers the last few games and go from there. Treat Aho like Zibby and Burns like Fox and that’s your starting point . Carolina is an excellent team but if NJ can stay out the box it won’t be easy for Carolina if NJ plays with patience .
