Pre-Game Talk: Devils (M2) vs Rangers (M3), Round 1, 2023 NHL Playoffs.

I'm claiming the G1 GDT, I don't care.

You will all suffer harder than you ever have.

kinky. what's my safe word?

Bahl has been better than Graves for a month and a half

Don’t necessarily agree or disagree with that. Didn’t love Graves end of last season and earlier this season but he’s been pretty solid since. That is irrelevant too because it won’t be graves coming out if Bahl plays. It will be Luke most likely or Siegs.

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

I gotta admit, i got pretty lucky to get sent to USA for period Oct-2022 till May-2023 and its the Rangers in the playoffs!!!

Im so psyched!!

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Because he has great reach and his positioning and gap control down low has been amazing this 2nd half...

You just talked about a small portion of the game. We have other D that play like that and are probably better and can do more elsewhere. Don’t think Bahl is that good or someone who has to be in the lineup.

 

[MasterofGrond]

I’m fine rotating Bahl in and out for Hughes, depending on how things are going. He just wouldn’t be the first guy I benched.

Im talking about Bahls entire season.. Not this game...but if you mean Bahls game, im sure we will need his physical edge too.

Me too.

Rangers PP, goalie and that they never seem to lose in the 1st round scare me. We're the better 5v5 team though and can skate circles around them.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Rangers are due for a first round loss, thankfully.

 

[Cheddabombs]

We all know what's going to happen, they'll start with Bahl in game 1 and lose. Then maybe try a more veteran leader in Smith for game 2 only to lose again.

But then, backs against the wall with nothing to lose the team turns to Luke and proceed to go 16-0 the rest of the way.

Morons over there still on the narrative of no 3 v 3 or shootout in playoffs as a dig on the Devils.

They literally played more OT games than us and have more loser points than us. Lmfao. They cant get shit done in regulation nor at 5 on 5. So more 5 on 5 time is WORSE for them.

Like, seriously think how stupid of a narrative this is. They are blinding themselves to the fact that the Devils are one of the best 5 on 5 scoring teams in the league lmfao. No 3 v 3? Ok great!

And their 1 win against us was 3 on 3 while we beat them twice in regulation.

That mainboard thread not getting toxic yet, not sure if Rangers fans are legit scared of this matchup or what lol

I’m talking about the entire season too. And Bahl’s physical edge is the most overrated aspect of his game. It’s been better but that reputation as having one is 75% because he’s big.

This was said about our series v them in 2012 and not having the shootout lmao, they'll learn

 

[Emperoreddy]

We need to win this series because this team and the fans deserve some playoff success.

Everyone also deserves some playoff home games without neck beard Rags fans stinking up the joint.

They are which is why they are advocating for our guys to get Trouba’d in Ragsworld. If you were confident in your own team you would not be advocating to injure the opposition.

It's the same fanbase that made Sean Avery their edge lord king, ignore them for the most part lol

Who's suffering? My body is ready senpai

 

[Rhodes 81]

Looking very much forward to hearing "Mercer! It's over!"

 

[Bankers Box]

Unless Bahl looks bad in the first couple games I don’t think he is coming out for Hughes.

[NJDevs26]

When are we getting the full schedule, late tonight or tomorrow morning?

 

[Emperoreddy]

I'm just annoyed I can't afford to go to a game. Guess I should set some price alerts on stubhub and seatgeek and hope I get lucky.

Hope for us to get up 3-1 and Ranger fans cash out by Game 5

It's more neutral fans giving our team little chance.

No Rangers fan being honest with themselves wanted to play us. It's a bad match up for them and they will need Igor to be lights out and the refs to call everything

Yeah I think that's the only way I can go unless I somehow win tickets in a contest
