The Rags will have their heads swiveling all night with the Devils going back and forth with their speed.

Playoff Rags last season was simply Shesterkin.   THAT'S IT.

Without him, Rags aren't even WildCard worthy. 

And the Rags are only as "dirty" as Trouba and let me tell you :  He's got NOTHING on Brad "Bitch-Baby" Marchand.

 

Trouba trying to even catch Hughes on the open-ice is like trying to catch-up to a high-speed Ferrari on a friggin' Bicycle. 

This is why Trouba almost always goes after Nico Hischier.  

And Nico always clowns him when he does.  

 

Marchand is dirty in a dick way, Trouba is dirty in a dangerous way. And while speed is important it’s not going to matter during board battles and puck cycling. All it takes is a headshot from Trouba and your guy is out for the remainder of the round. The Canes experienced that last year.

Not sure, but since you're on a Canes forum, are you trying to convince us or yourself just how good "your" Devils are?

I feel like he’s just a fan of his team just like we are with the Canes. With that said, from a neutral perspective, the Rangers look to be the better team on paper. From a pure depth perspective, the Rangers outmatch the Devils once you get down to the third and fourth lines.

That said the rangers lost 3/4 with a total of 3 points against the devils this year.

I throw all that out the window come playoff time. It’s a crap shoot. After all, Washington swept us in the regular season the year we beat them in the playoffs.

A 1-hour replay of last night's game is on NHL Network at noon today, if anyone is interested.

I watched the YouTube NHL league highlight reel, but it was the Florida announcers. I'd much rather listen to Tripp and Big Mike.

Give Tripp some cred, though. Last game of the season and he did not refer to the Canes PP as a "work in progress." It was good for the 80th game of the season, but not last night.

I watched the best parts of the game again on Bally Sports replay, that last 3 minutes with 4 goals scored was the wildest play I’ve seen lol.

The Rangers are much worse 5v5 and much slower than the Devils. That matters--but it's also something you can say about the Rangers in their series against the Canes last year--all a team had to do was win on the road once and they did and we didn't.  We are to the place where experience matters and considering the Canes and Rangers have it they both salivate at facing the Devils over other similarly good teams because the Devils quite literally havent been here before.  It's a thing until they prove it isn't.  I hope they beat NYR.
