Neither of these teams closed out the season particularly strong, but the Devils won't be able to overcome losing Hughes. Canes in 6.
 
Carolina is lucky their get arguably the weakest playoff team. Hurricanes in 6
 
I recall looking at the Devils roster near the start of the season. I thought it looked pretty good.
It was looking like they had the building blocks for a potential contender in a year or two.
They got off to a decent start.
Since the Four Nations, .460 hockey - worst of the playoff teams by far.
Injuries were definitely a factor. Beyond that, I haven't followed them that closely except the bits on Keefe now and then.
Carolina hasn't been that hot down the stretch either but a lot better than .460.
Odds makers have Carolina heavily favored. Hard to argue with them (particularly when you don't know the teams that well).
 
Carolina fell off a cliff at the end of the season. Whether or not that impacts the first round is another thing, but I am going to go with Jersey in 6. I could be wrong, but who knows. This is the series that interests me the least out of the entire first round.
 
Feel bad for Freddie. He puts up some great numbers, but in the playoffs there is always that one goal - bet he wishes he had back the OT winner.
