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.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
