Conventional wisdom was the team overachieved during the regular season and wasn't supposed to be this good for another year or 2.

That being said, I was at least hoping the Devils could lean on the Rags a little and wear them out, but they're making this pretty easy and NY might be sitting at home, resting up, and waiting to see who they face next.

We gotta break the islanders tonight. Put them in 4 wins in a row mode. Was really hoping the devils would outmatch the rangers. Oh well.

As per usual did not watch all of the later games. Any scandals I missed?

Not really, but western hockey is different than eastern hockey.

The real issue is, especially in the eastern games, is the ref have lost control of the games. The fact that Bunting got a 3-game playoff suspension with a high hit in the midst of a play on the puck, but nothing has been done with the Islander intentional hits and shots on the Canes, Dumba's hit that concussed Pavelski and put him in the protocol, the Boston thuggery that caused the refs to end the game with time on the clock.

It's bullsh!t that Bunting got 3 games and Dumba got none. Stupid that nothing beyond interference was called on Martin's hit on Staal and subsequently sitting on him. Pageau's intentional whack that broke TT's hand. McAvoy wanted to start a fight with 3 seconds left on the clock until someone else started a fight instead.

I love the intensity of playoff hockey, but it never has to get to the point of injuring the opponents and the league and officials have lost control.

Still not a word from the DPS on anything Wednesday night from any game. Putting it all back on the refs. 

Waiting for George Parros to do his job is like waiting for Brad Marchand to win the Lady Byng.

If the Devils fail to win tonight, I think they get swept. 

If they win, and they show f**king LIFE for a change, then maybe they can rally.

At the very least they stretch the series as far as possible so that the Canes will be the more rested team should the Rags be the ones coming to town.

Rags will sweep us too if we get out of the first.

After witnessing last night's 3rd period collapse, I think getting out of the first might be a stretch.

Also, as a side note/question: When was the last time Freddie Andersen was healthy enough to play the post-season, for any team?

Watching Jets come back from a 4-1 3rd period deficit to tie the game against Vegas with about 20 seconds left. 

Our buddy Nino, acquired by the Jets at the TDL, has a goal in this one. He averaged almost a point per game after joining Winnipeg. 

Oh, and anyone of Winnipeg's top 6 forwards would make Carolina better.

    • Even all the rookie QB's who haven't played a single snap ranked above him? I really hope Bryce is using all this as motivation in some capacity. Because if this doesn't motivate him I don't know what will.
    • Of course. That’s what I said. Bad goalie play and the style of defense. Florida played amazing.  Rods decision to stick with a struggling Freddie cost us. Plus, Florida may be more talented than us and they play a very heavy game. Something we don’t do well minus Svech.  Glad the rangers lost. 
    • You should because before the preseason fiasco and the start of the season fiasco, all the reports, including Frank’s responses, were that Fitterer and Reich were in lock step. Remember the press conference where Fitterer talked about both he and Frank saying who they wanted before and after the draft process and that they both picked Young and it was glorious? People got hung up on Tepper saying the point guard analogy in April when Brown was interviewed by a Panthers reporter describing how a QB needs to be a point guard in huge detail. That was in February. I think Tepper was just parroting Brown to make himself look like he knew what he was doing. Mrs. Tepper hugging Bryce always overshadowed CJ saying how he called her Mama Tepp. We fuged up as a team, probably more so because Fitterer always said he had Young as his #1 the year before, probably because we looked at all the QBs that year as well. Reich’s love for CJ started when he got on the hot seats for frankly doing a horrific job. He's been in the league a long time and has a lot of media friends and that was a face saving CYA which we know well with many years of Hurney. Still amazing to think how much better the team was under Rhule/Hurney before Fitterer got any control when Rhule was on the hot seat.
