Now, let's pray Freddie is ready to go in round 2

Watching Pesce wish everyone luck, it seems like he’ll be back in a Canes uniform at some point.

That NJ goalie is the only one on the team with any fight. Devils need a new coach. That was a garbage effort after the first period. 

I mean... They have no Jack or Luke Hughes and were down like half their defensemen... I'm not sure what you can tell a team to do when they have no legs and are just dumping the puck every time.

That being said, I thought Keefe was a pretty bad coach for Toronto

If he isn't, we better hope and pray we can score 5+ goals every game in that series

We could use a goalie...

Though Pyotr did settle down and play well after the 1st. 

 

Someone else had the same thought, what's his contract situation with New Jersey ?, but he would probably want to be the #1

And we have no Freddie because of them. Boo Fuggin Hoo.

One year left at a little over 4m with a NMC. He's also 35.

Markstrom is 35 and looks like he will be a free agent after next season. But he is a prime candidate to be cut because he has a pretty big contract and was only traded to the Devils this season. He’d be a stopgap veteran backup.

Can't be cut, he has a full NMC.

It was important to win this and get some rest, especially for Freddie. Lets pray he can come back next series and be ready to go or else I dont see how we are going to be able to play like last night for every game in order to cover for Kooch. They will be golfing sooner rather than later if he cant come back.

Svech last game, Fishy this one. The boys could be back

 

We will go far if Jarvis, Aho and Svechnikov can come up big in the moments we need the big boys too.... nice to see Aho and Svechnikov not leaving it all on jarvy

We need Freddie to beat the Caps... period When the guys have to play passive to cover Kochetkov it neuters the offense.... we got lucky yesterday that our forecheck took over so much they just never got the puck.

He actually could be bought out/cut only one season left at 4m salary.

Doesn't make sense but he could be.
