I think it’s more likely we win than Carolina loses. But I could be wrong. Would love a nice Metro division champions banner.

Palat, Marino, and Graves being rested tonight along with Vanecek

Blackwood

I think I'd rather play Florida. Rookie goalie and essentially a one line team (although a very elite line). But it's close either way so not super invested in the outcome eitherway.

Either way the devils lose in 4

Now this is how you play before the playoffs

I'd rather play the Rangers tbh. Panthers have been stomping teams at 5v5 since January, and have been one of the only teams to consistently outplay us in every game against them. Plus they play a heavy physical style that we know can slow this team down. Devils are just a flat out better version of the Rangers, outside of goaltending. PK said it himself on ESPN, everybody(including the coaching staff) knows who the Devils match up best against. Ruff won't ever say it in public, but it's pretty obvious

First career point for Luke! Wooooo

Every time Haula scores a goal I'm really impressed. Just because I expected him to score zero this season.

As soon as I heard our entire best d pair was resting, I had serious doubts we’d pull out a W. Out of sync and.. yea, missing our best defensive pair. I’d be curious to the fancy stats, but my eyes tell me Marino has been our mvp for keeping the puck out of our net. Dougie gets pucks to the net, which is great, but Graves-Marino have been so solid and I think Marino, especially pre-injury Marino, was a huge reason why. I say bring back Graves on a 2yr deal and let Severson go. Just a numbers game. Keep this top pair together.

Graves has been up and down this season. Bahl has been constantly improving and I really think he can replace him.

I'd be more inclined to keep Severson because we don't really know how Nemec is going to progress moving into next season.

Mackenzie Deadwood.

What a way for Blackwood to go out if this is his final game as a Devil. Woof

Schmid better be the backup for the playoffs.

If he’s not then someone should be walking out of the building with Blackwood this offseason.

On a side note, would love to see Jack get 2 more points and finish with 100.

Other side note, what happened to the folks calling him a bust?

Gotta go to the Rangers page and ask them. They know a thing or two about busts

Blackwood gave up 4 goals on ~1 xga. So glad we're not going to see him play for this team again.

Luke has looked really good this game. Really impressed with his overall game. We know what hes gonna provide offensively, but even defensively he looks more in control than he did in college.

His game really improved when they took him away from Smith too (what a surprise).

LUUUUUUKEEEEEE!!!!

Hell of a way to score your first goal.

Storybook...

What a goal by Luke! I could watch that 20x and not get tired of it.
Fckn Canes tho. I want a banner.

Turned the game off after the caps went up 4-1 as I wasn't staying up till 3am

Checked the score and watched the highlights

The Hughes bros look good

Minus jack and his give aways
