We saw what can happen in the 3rd period last night in Boston. Gotta be smart with the puck. The Devils will be guns ablazing to start the 3rd. Gotta hold for the first few minutes.

Devils were trying the hail Mary pass the entire second half of that period. If the Rangers keep a forward back they will have 5 shots again next period.

They are choosing not to. They are literally leaving the center lane open to cover bread or ziba. Letting Fox and Kane just walk the line and hard pass to a wide open kreider. 4x now and they are more stubborn than AVs chewing gum in the 3rd period.
I understand that but their plan can't simply be to completely ignore 20. I understand what they are doing on the set but their plan HAS to include some sort of adjustment/rotation when the pick comes low, otherwise this borders on insanity, especially from a head coach who literally was here and knows what Kreider does in that space. It just seems like the d men are slow to a rotation to cover when the low plays develop and we are completely crushing them bc of it. The pp it literally built for left side one timer or a low tip play to Kreider. Their d can't read which is coming and that is a large credit to Kane on the right halfwall bc FINALLY we have the left handed elite distributor in that position so it is much harder for the pinto read where the play is heading. With a right hand shot on that side of you watched the pp a lot it was actually predictable, right now there are multiple fluid options.
 
3 pts for Kane in 5 periods

You could tell going into the 2nd period, we got this. Just needed to get a bounce.

Now we bring it home, with another suffocating period. Devils with only 5 shots in the second.
