[Spaulding] Avec la défaite de la Caroline et les Rangers tombant dans une fusillade, voici ce qui est en jeu demain : les Devils remportent le premier tour à domicile avec un point et peuvent prendre la première place dans le métro avec une victoire et une défaite de la Caroline de toute sorte ou une défaite en prolongation couplé à une perte de régulation Canes.
With Carolina’s loss and the Rangers falling in a shootout, here is what’s on the line tomorrow:
Devils clinch first round home ice with a point and can take over first place in Metro with a win and a Carolina loss of any kind or an OT loss coupled with a Canes regulation loss.— Bill Spaulding (@BillSpaulding) April 11, 2023

Big night for us tonight and we didn’t even play
We need to bring the heat against Buffalo, from the very first face off.
Sit L. Hughes. We need to win the next two.
Carolina going on a 3 game skid and going 4-6 in their past 10 games really was the only scenario that would give the Devils a chance to win the division.
Now it’s which team does better over these last two games.
For anyone who doesn’t know: The top 3 tiebreakers in order are Regulation Wins (RW), Regulation and Overtime Wins (ROW), and head-to-head points (H2H).
We lead the Rangers in RW by 1, but they only have one game remaining, so best case scenario is they tie us there and we’re 5 ahead of them in ROW, so there’s no scenario they can beat us on tiebreakers. Therefore, one more point and we secure home ice for the first round.
For Carolina, we lead in RW by 1, ROW by 2, and we won the H2H points. So 1 more RW would clinch the tiebreakers, but obviously we’d still need to catch them in points lol.
TL;DR: For the division, root for a regulation win tomorrow, but any win still keeps us in a good position. For first round home ice, one more point is all we need.
It’s like Carolina is begging the Devils to take the division from them, and every chance they have to do it, Devils lose too.
As much as I’d love to see the sabres in the playoffs cause Levi is a g, I hope we stomp the fuck out of the sabres tomorrow
LOL imagine Rangers fans spent $500 on tickets that end up being for Devils / Islanders
This is so much more entertaining that wasting away the last games of the season trying to watch draft lottery odds.
Hopefully Pittsburgh can get that 7th seed and the Devils win the division.
Carolina fans are getting their hemlock ready.
They don’t think their team is getting out of the first round and wish they had gotten Timo.
Dahlin can go back being a weird looking swede
We owe Buffalo a whoopin. They are gunna be a good team as soon as next year and a future pain in the ass. Let’s knock them out tomorrow. I want the fucking division. Give me the pens
The Rock is going to be WILD tomorrow. Cannot wait!
We got this
RAISE HELL
Let’s fucking goooo!!!
Buffalo’s gonna be tough, but if we win I like our odds at taking the division (despite Carolina still holding control).
We’re still having fun! What a life!
If we’re gonna win the division. I’d also really like the Penguins to win out. Much rather play the Pens in the playoffs than the Islanders
