He did this to HIS TEAMMATE?

Man oh man do the Carolina Hurricanes look like a DAMN GOOD team in their first game against the New Jersey Devils. Now I’m not ready to crown them but the Devils also picked up a couple injuries late as well so my sweep prediction is looking good. That and more in today’s NHL hockey video!

  2. As a Devils fan, I can say there is no delusions as far as how this series is going to work out. Carolina is just so much better than us this year.

  7. Before I call out everyone, can you remind me how the first two games went when the Devils played the Rags not two season ago? Asking for a friend.

    Rags and Devils fans are objectively the worst possible fans in the NHL. Despite the arguing, we both are predominately headed by braindead morons who’ve never played this sport a day in their life.

    The Devils were ALWAYS a bubble team this year. We’re right on schedule. Mentioning a random ass year a season ago further proves just how fucking stupid devils fans are.

    A bunch of Rags and Devils fans will try to fool you into thinking otherwise. If you see one of those people, they can be 100% ignored. Realize that they’re stupid.

    This is the expected outcome. This has been expected for literally half the year. Anyone “upset” at how the Devils are playing should sincerely try a different sport.

  8. as a canes fan all the talk from the offseason (with a lot of pieces moving out) to the trade deadline where people wrote the canes off… making the playoffs is already a big f- you to that noise. if they play like this the rest of the way im going to be so so happy

  18. Rangers fan, myself. So, I recognize my bias here. However, with that said I must say the Devils looked awful in this game from just about every conceivable perspective. They did not look like a playoff team. Had I seen ONLY this game, and knew nothing about the context of it being played (playoffs) I would've said this is not a playoff caliber Devils team. It's pretty wild to think that a team can be so reliant on an individual player (Jack Hughes). Without him, the Devils are not a high caliber team. He's the glue that makes this franchise work…and that's not a good thing.

  19. As a Leafs fan, I recognize that effort from NJ. No defensive structure, no controlled breakout, just flip it out, change up the lines constantly so no players get used to playing with each other. Markstrome made this game as close as it was, without the brilliant goaltending this could have been 10-1 Keefe is one of the worst coaches in the NHL.

  23. You're right that i didn't have high expectations but holy shit that was bad from us. the game stabilized slightly in the third defensively but we just got almost no high danger chances the whole game. idk if they were too nervous to shoot but they looked worse offensively than that throwaway game vs detroit

  24. As a Devils fan, it's time to stop pointing out missing players. We have a dead weight that will never step. It's very clear that this organization did not intend to move an inch in these playoffs, otherwise, there would be moves made during the deadline. Maybe it's the top and not Fitz that is greedy, but unless that changes, we will not build a team that could be a threat. Last tie the bitching was about goaltending, we get goaltending but this year the bitching is the bottom 6 blows. We're going nowhere throwing puck out and HOPING it will bounce in our favor, If you can't maintain control of the puck to get a quality shot, you're not playing a game, you're praying for a lucky chance….At least Cane fans are a heck of a lot better than Rag fans. If this were the Rangers, I would have a heartbreak.

  27. Everyone still talking about the Raantanen debacle, and I get it, but as soon as he left the Canes were on a tear and every player obtained in both deals vastly outperformed Rants. Hall, Jankowski and Stankoven have this far more than made up for the perceived loss of Rantanen.

  40. Why are we ignoring the fact that Markstrom was ready to injure Svech, injures his own teammate, DOESNT think "perhaps I shouldn't have done that", then proceeds to try again. At least he took it out on the real cause of his frustration.

  44. I had Carolina in 5 and it took me like two periods to wonder if I picked too many games in the series. "A bit of friendly fire" is an understatement though. Glass got chopped in half.
