NJ Devils (23-12-3) @ Carolina Hurricanes (20-15-5)

Devils come in 4-1 in their past 5 games while the canes come in riding a three game win streak.

Expect Cam Ward in net for the canes.

Brandon Sutter will be playing his father,Brent Sutter (head coach for the devils), for the first time.

I expect the Canes to come out quick and try to get the fans into it early. The D has been solid and Cam is finally consistantly good.

Predicted score: 4-2 Canes

Canes win 3-2 , would have been 4-2 if Ruutu hadn't wiffed on an easy goal.

Whitney, Samsanov and Ruutu with the Goals.

It was a 3-0 game into the third, the Devils scored on a PP with 7ish minutes to go where they pulled their goalie. Around 21ish seconds to go they did the same thing and scored but the canes held off.

Wardo had a great night a fantastic job locating rebounds.

Ruutu played well even with the whiff and Babchuk was my number one star of the game. Played a sound defensive game and yet joined on the rush with a beauty to ruutu for the goal on a 3 on 2. He had some good slapshots and did a good job pinching.

1* - Babchuk

2* - Ward

3* - Ruutu

I tell you the character of this team is night and day from the beginning of the season. Our old team would have folded and we would have lost this one, but the way we are playing now. They can make the clutch stops. Plus there were a few that just missed the net. Sutter played great. Really put on a good show for his father. I really like the direction we are headed into as we get closer to the all star break! go canes!

This was a really good win for the team. I'm getting confident in them again, I hope they don't follow their trend of the past few seasons by following up a good streak by sucking for 2 weeks.

If we can bang out a 6 or 7 game win streak, that's enough to get me confident in them again but if we can get torwards double digits than hell the whole league better watch out because by then we would be grabbing at the head of the Southeast.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
