After another blowout in game 2 between the Carolina Hurricanes & New Jersey Devils. We break down how the Hurricanes have been able make the fastest team in hockey, look like they’re in quick sand. With players like Jack Hughes & Jesper Bratt, the Hurricanes have found a way to completely neutralize them through games 1 and 2.

I mean, come on, the Canes have been a top team for a while now. If you thought Oh just wait until NJ gets going, you haven't been watching the Canes. The tic tac toe passing, the power play that at times is a damn highlight reel. They're probably the best team left, in my opinion. NJ has to get some luck, and hopefully, that ass kicking wakes them the fu!@ up.
Carolina has a way of slowing down other teams
Lol theyโre just really an experience. Playoff hockey is a different breed.
All im thinking is LET'S GO CANES
As a Devils fan, I still have confidence in the guys to come back in the series. They already did it once in these playoffs alone AND game 3 and 4 we're on the road. This time, they are going to NJ. I think they are still learning how to exploit this team and a new system all together from what the Rangers showed in Round 1. The top guys in particular need to get going and I think they'll make some really good adjustments that will get the offense going and get the Devils back in the series. To me, this series is far from over
Rangers were suppose to beat them they didnโt beat them because they did not lay big hits like they did last year donโt forget rangers beat hurricanes last year this year was a choke for the rangers they were suppose to beatJersey to much talent on rangers for this to happen Jersey a garbage team that got lucky because the rangers did not want it more than Jersey
As a Canes fan, it comes down to 2 factors imo:
1. Stick-checking from EVERY Canes player in the lineup – Where NJ had space against the Rangers to operate & get up to speed with the puck, Carolina is invested in bothering the Devils sticks for 200 feet of ice. NJ can't get up to speed if they can't get the space to handle the puck.
2. The Forecheck – On most of the Canes' truly potent possessions, they're getting the puck deep into the Devils' zone & grinding the game to a halt against the boards with good help at the point to prevent breakaways on turnovers. NJ has to operate in a grindy, tiring game at the boards that Carolina is specifically conditioned to thrive at. After 60 minutes of that effort from the Canes, Jersey has been gassed at the end of games.
All boils down to Roddy running a tight system. Despite the injuries, this team isn't really about one player, a couple players, or even a specific group, it's about the system. This system happens to work really well against the Devils. I knew when I watched game 7 Rangers/Devils that the Devils were not going to get breakouts like they constantly did against the Canes, the tight defense shuts down the whole offense that the Devils are built around. Whether or not that will translate to continuing to dominate at Prudential or not is yet to be seen, the Devils have a ton of skill and there were some seriously dangerous moments in the first period of game 2 for the Canes that could have changed the tempo for the rest of the game, that being said, I have serious doubts that the Devils will advance past this round, like you said, this is a very different team than the Rangers and it's one that simply matches up better against them. I'm a Canes fan, so obviously I'm pretty biased here, but this has been my take since before the series started, had Rangers won game 7 and we were playing them right now, we'd be seeing a very different series play out.
Lets go canes
Iโm not sure NJ is objectively any faster than CAR. If so, itโs a few %. A marginal speed advantage is hard to hang your hat on as a team in the playoffs. If speed is all they bring to game 3, they wonโt be back to Raleigh this year
If the NJ played the Canes like they did in the first period, it'll be a close match. Game 7 for sure. But if Carolina plays NJ like they did in the 2nd and 3rd, NJ doesn't have a chance. Honestly, with a 60sec 5 on 3 in the 1st, and NJ couldn't score? That just shows you how tough it is to play against the Canes.

Just happy the beat the rangers ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Teams as young as the devils don't win Stanley cups. Good playoff experience for their young studs and if they can keep the nucleus together they'll be a cup contender soon
Rangers are an easy team to play against. Carolina not so much…
I was at game two yesterday and am a devils fan. Itโs extremely hard to win in that building and you learn why when you go to a game. With the Devils being a young inexperienced team against a team like the canes that make it so hard to generate anything coming out of your own end they had no chance of winning those two games.
News flash. NJ is not the fastest team in the NHL. Carolina is.
I swear yall are ridiculous. They are young, and had a short break after the first round. The Devils arenโt โexposedโ this is to be completely expected if you have half a brain. Theyโre gonna be completely fine once they find their feet and relax a little.
Jersey is a super young team that really overachieved this season and that's a good thing because this will be a great teaching lesson for them if nothing else. All great championship teams and star players have had to go through the tough times to learn what the playoffs are all about and its a different monster in a 7 game series. Jersey is definitely a skilled and fast team but they will need to add some size and grit to the roster down the road, you just have to have that in some form for the post season. Plus time will also allow those younger guys to grow and mature physically and mentally. Going through this experience will pay off in the end
The Canes aren't NYR!!
It is not because they are slow. It is Carolinaโs defense breaking them down (hence them allowing the second fewest goals in the regular season)
The Canes are playing smart playoff hockey, more than can be said about the Leafs.
Brindโ Amore was great as a player, heโs even better at coaching.
This all boils down to one person, Rod the Bod. His system is all about speed and pressuring the puck, no time and space for the other team! We donโt have the all star offensive weapons like other teams especially with all the players we have out, but then again we never really have since heโs taken over as HC and yet we make the playoffs every year. Guys buy into his system and it works. I expect NJ to win 1,2 games but Carolina win the series. They have a very good chance to win the cup with our defense and Goaltending peaking at the right time of year.
Yes, my Devils have been shut down and look like they don't belong in round 2. Yes, this is different than the 0-2 in round one.
Carolina is well coached and works together very well as a team.
simple!!! have the refs make none of the holding and grabbing calls!! Maybe missing 2 boarding calls. Now 1 devil dman is hurt from it!! whatever!! canes look so 1995 out there!! lol
All of a sudden everyone loves the trap
Canes are slowing them down in the middle of the ice. Stop the speed before it gets started. If they don't slow them down in central ice then the devil's will be skating. Right bye them it's what the devil's did back in the 90s they called it the trap slow the speed down before it gets going. Can see the devil players don't know what to do
It doesnt help the Devils just had a grueling 7 game series with their arch rival, had one day off to travel to Carolina and be back on the ice the next day.
We will see what happens. Devils split the sseries in the regular season so they know they can beat them. Carolina def turned up t he heat in the playoffs which is evident. IF devils can at least come out with fire and pucn first that maybe enough to get the canes on their heals for a while.
1:52 "Nowhere" in this case is one word. Learn English.
Because they arenโt the fastest team in hockey. Edmonton is duh!
Great coverage
Canes in 6.
loved this video – always like learning more about counter strategies
5 v 5 the Rangers couldn't generate jack squat, this one feels a bit different
I will always root for the Devils. But they can't keep dropping a series 0-2.
Brother I love your content and I hit subscribe to see more of these videos. I enjoyed your breakdown of the teams and why CAR is so successful this series.
Carolina plays so much better hockey than the NY Rangers did and it's not even close. Rangers quit after game 3. Go Canes! Brind'amour is a GREAT coach!
Ha ha! Boneheaded psychology boy doesnโt realize my little cupcakes chose to go down 2-0 to lull the Candy Canes asleep while we knock them out of the second round. Heโll disavow this silly video once weโre in the Conference Finals. LETโS GO DEBS!!!
Speed = small ….. this is an axiom in the NHL known since it's inception ……. Big players who win perimeter battles and control the neutral zone are going to win …………. period …… that's just the law of physics ….. Take the Cats and Boston ….. the Cats played them like a water soaked wool blanket ….. Boston never had time to breathe …… The Canes are the same. Big boys who win battles. Very hard to beat …………….. in fact, if I were a betting man, which I am not, I would put my money on either the Canes or the Cats to win the Stanley Cup ….. they are big, win "battles" and tough as hell …………….. but…… Keep your on on the Oilers ……. Big, special teams wizards ….. oh, and big !!!!! LOL ๐
Carolina just doesn't let the other team touch the puck. It's hard to use your speed when you never have posession of the puck.
The Devils (according to national broadcast) had the puck 53% of the time in game 2. Unfortunately for them most of that time it was in their own zone. Same broadcast said "its like there are 5 Brind'Amours on the ice" Tenacious fore check, sped through the neutral zone and active Defense in the O. Simple… on paper
I like both teams style of play & like most of there players & coaches. Even at 2-0 it hasn't been a bad watch. That said the Devils can come back. They're going home, they did this before, they're a good team, but the Hurricanes are not going to make the same mistake the Rangers did & try to run with the Devils. The Canes are going to play there way until the bitter end. It's uo to these upstart kids from Jersey to play the way they like to play. If this series isn't tied 2-2 after game four it's probably over in 5. If the Devils lose the series this season is still a success with valuable experience. If the Hurricanes lose this series the season is a letdown. The only successful season for the Canes is a Cup run after the previous 2-3 seasons playoff runs.
Can you teach Toronto how to slow Florida down? ๐๐โ ๏ธ๐๐
Series doesnโt start till the home team loses
Straight up, Canes sweeping this series
