Refocus and get back to the Game 1 defense.

1. NJ had a lot of good looks in Game 2 and Freddie played exceptionally well, but it should not have been that easy for them. A lot of high danger and Grade A's in front of the net. NJ had a lot of shots on goal.

2. Timo Meier was on the doorstep more than a few times, it's only a matter of time unless the Canes get back to their style of defense.

3. Little doubt that Vacacek will start in goal for NJ. Need to get to him early, he's played pretty well considering he's come off the bench in the first 2 games.

4. NJ on home ice will have last change and I'm not very comfortable with the Canes 4th line and their lack of speed likely getting stuck on the ice with the Devils speedsters. 

Face down this challenge, win today and I think they sweep. If not, steal the Tuesday game and come home with a 3-1 series lead.

Big difference between the Canes and Devils series and the Devils and Rangers series is that the Devils were at home when they went down 2-0 to New York. People want to talk about adjustments but let’s be real, Schmid won the series for New Jersey and Carolina has already got to him.

I don’t think home ice is as important in this series as it was in the previous series against the Islanders. The Islanders like us limit chances and once you go down it’s hard to come back. I don’t think that’s the case with New Jersey. Even if Hughes gets going, I think New Jersey will still press and be vulnerable on the defensive end. We may give up some goals but I think we can win a shootout in this series.

Honesty guys. We were in this position last year. Up 2-0 on the rangers. We worked hard and have our chance at a redo. This time around, we don’t have to worry about an elite goalie and our goalies are playing great.  Plus, and here is the big one….we are scoring!  
 

win today 4-2 canes. Book it.

We are not playing a physical team this year like the Rangers were last year. We played that team (the islanders) last series. We can match speed with speed for the most part. We have clearly been the more physical team against the devils and they don’t like it. I loved Dougie as a cane, but he wants no part of the physical game, so Burns is a cut above Hamilton if you ask me. We just have to keep on the forecheck and limit their chances. If we do that I like our chances. I do not believe we will sweep them so just take it one game at a time.

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
