not expecting too much from these 2 games, we’ve had a hard time getting to that elusive 4 game winning streak and Allen hasn’t been playing his best.

my hope is obviously getting 4 points here, but wouldn’t be surprised if we snagged only 1-2 points. carolina always plays us so well.

I’m not at all sold on him. Just a few weeks ago I was considering signing Allen for another year if it’s around what we’re giving him this year. But if were gonna get him for really cheap it probably means we won’t want him anyway, because he probably had a bad season.

As one of the biggest heel marks for Markstrom up until a week or two ago, I never thought Allen would maintain his play if he were getting as many starts as Markstrom.

Jake Allen has a history of being a not very good goalie when he’s been given the keys. That’s why Binnington happened.
Allen had a horrific playoffs against Minnesota one year and it sticks with me a bit. Still I'm ok with him as a backup especially on what looks like to be a sound defensive team infront of him.

Did some of you forget we already beat this team?

And did some of you forget they played a competitive game in Raleigh on a back to back against a 3 days rested Hurricanes in October?

Need more positive cocky talk in these GDTs. Devils are good ladies and gentleman. They can win both

That win was on a Thursday.

The true test only happen Friday-Sunday, so the prior win was meaningless, only tonight’s game can tell us anything.

Unless the Devils win, then tomorrow’s game will be the first chance to really prove themselves.

The covenant of the keys, one would say.

Good measuring stick...for the Canes.

Honestly I don't think this is far off.
I get respecting Carolina, they are a good team, but they have been struggling for a bit here and not playing all that great hockey.

Meanwhile we have been playing great hockey.

Doesn't mean we can sleep walk here, team has to be ready to play, but this is a very winnable game.

Even if the Devils sweep it won’t mean much. The games don’t matter until after January. Unless they get swept, then they’re done.

I'm auto pilot mode in that regard till playoffs lol, plus I think this fanbase has ptsd shock from after 17/18 and 22-23 to get too cautious that we'll be consistently good even if the results are there :laugh::laugh:

Tokarski, Martin or whatever humpty AHL goalie they have up will probably play one of these two games. It was Tokarski before the break.

Feels like they'll match starters tonight and go Tokarski v Allen tomorrow in Carolina
