Series Talk: [M2] Carolina Hurricanes Vs [M3] New Jersey Devils (CAR Leads 3-1)

[BHD]

The Devils have been mediocre after an impressive start to the season. Between injuries and the drop off, it's hard to see them going far. Maybe they win Game 3 or Game 4 at home, but that's it.

Furthermore, the Hurricanes have given the Devils trouble at times this season. Plus, they're playing better overall.

Canes in 5.

Going to be tough for Jersey without Hughes. Canes in 6, maybe 5.

Keefe can't catch a break, another first round exit for him incoming.

smh bush league GM. Can't believe Tulsky is going on vacation right before playoffs

 

[Discipline Daddy]

I enjoy how both teams are playing like absolute ass this time of year. Feels like both would lose to the Sharks in round 1, and here we are playing each other.

I do think both teams will turn it on when it matters.

 

[SwissFan12]

Well, with Jack and Siegs out, it makes thing so much harder for NJ

Hamilton could be back but according to last update, Siegs is just starting to walk so I don't expect him to be back even if the team smh manage to go far, which is a shame because a healthy Siegs is a hell of a rock out there

Carolina are the obvious favorite here, but who knows what can happen

Each team when 2-2-0 this season... furthermore the Canes are 5-5-0 in their last 10 and have lost 3 in a row... the Devils are 5-4-1 and lost 1 after a 3 game win streak.. really neither team is playing particularly well

 

[NewtJorden]

Canes in 6

 

[CanesUltimate11]

Is losing in round 3 without winning a game really any better than just losing in round 2? lol. hopefully if we do make the conference finals we can at least get a game or 2 this time. Last 3 appearances have all been sweeps sadly

It's better for the owner at least.

Is there really anything for him to do right now? It's only after the Cup is awarded that GMs then have to shift into overdrive until October.

This is one of those series where it seems like everything is favoring one side (Carolina).

However, something tells me it won't be as easy as some are predicting.

You think it will be easier?

 

[Whaddagoal]

As a biased Devils fan, I feel the team had been playing well the last few weeks, minus the Boston clunker.

Will be interesting series, I think some surprises out there.

If Markstrom holds his side of the game.

 

[NYRfan85]

I think the Canes will take this series in 6 games. The Canes have a great home record, but a losing record on the road, so I think Jersey will take games 3 and 4. Could see this being one of those series where the home team wins every game.

 

[Frank Drebin]

I don't know if I've ever been as indifferent to a series as I am with this one. Hope its entertaining for you guys.

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

I struggle to see NJ winning this series. Would require significant goaltending performance differential most likely.

 

[Wats]

If Jack Hughes and/or Hamilton played I'd give Devils a chance. Hard to win without both.

 

[AfroThunder396]

I didn't realize Carolina is below .500 on the road this season. 16-19-3. The season series was split 2-2-0, with the home team winning every game in regulation.

If NJ steals a game in Raleigh - and they definitely can, if Markstrom plays well and their special teams deliver - then NJ absolutely has a shot.

 

[MartyOwns]

the devils will go as far as allen will take them in this series.

 

[My3Sons]

Should be quite an easy one for the Canes. Sweep upcoming.

Only a series loss for NJ? Not that the team implodes and relocates or that all the players get monkey pox?

 

[SavBigMoneyAtBedards]

Devils have too many injuries.

Canes go 3-0 to start the series.
Devils take one game to save face but get eliminated in 5.

 

[AvroArrow]

Got the team back into the playoffs. Been a much more defensively responsible team then previous years.

So can't complain

Super underrated defensive coach, hopefully he has learned from the past. His biggest flaw in the playoffs was always overthinking and doubting himself. He would try to change things too much and overthink and just end up digging a hole for himself.

He will have limited options with NJ this playoffs. As noted, they are missing some key guys.
