Really surprised how much the Devils are getting outplayed.

They don't remotely resemble the team that accumulated the 3rd most points in the league so far.

Part of it is catching Igor and the Rangers blue line at their best but they’re barely getting anything near the goal.

Maybe it’ll be one of those better-away series where home teams just shit the bed until a crazy game 7.

Yeah, nothing is over, to be sure. Wouldn't be surprised to see them come out blazing tomorrow night. If they can somehow keep Krieder off the side of the net that would help too. He is just feasting there.

There's also a big degree of how young the Devs are being exposed. The Rangers are big, mean and experienced. Guys like Hughes and Hischier don't look like they have any answer for it.

It took an ass whooping from the Isles to make the Oilers sit up and pay attention in the early 80's.

Meier was supposed to add a lot in this regard - big winger, decent amount of playoff experience (not in a few years now, for sure...) but man has that trade not gone down well.

It’s the head coach who is dragging the team down.

He’s a coach ever been fired mid-series? If not now is a good time to start.

No. I don't need him on the market when the Jackets are looking to hire a coach.

They should give him another year at least.
