ECQF: New Jersey Devils [MET2] vs New York Rangers [MET3] - Devils Win 4-3

[Tsawwassen]

I think this series is going the toughest with a whole lot of nasty.

[Sylvanfan]

Since the NHL went to this Division format in 2014, and if you dont count 2020 and 2021 playoffs. The 2nd place team in the Metropolitan Division on average plays more playoff games than any other slot. Largely influenced by Pittsburgh and Washington combining for 3 cups out of that spot.

I'll pick the Devils mostly because they're young, but winner of this series will get to the Conference Finals.

[MRCboicgy]

This better go 7. Must watch TV. Rangers win due to better goalie.

[MrMike]

I think this is going to be the most entertaining series of the first round

[transplant99]

Rangers in 5.

[ForeverFlameFan]

Rangers in 6. Patty Kane is a difference maker. Also have the better goalie.

[Mr.Coffee]

Best series in the playoffs. Hoping for the Devils

[Winsor_Pilates]

Rangers in 6.
All tight games but the experience will pull them above

[Oil Stain]

Rangers in 7.

Devils come hard but don't have the playoff experience to pull through.

[Erick Estrada]

This is the matchup I'm most excited about. I would like to see the Devils win but I think the more experienced Rangers should take this in 6 or 7 games.

[Scary Eloranta]

This is the only series I'm really interested in. Would love to see the Devils win it but I think Rangers goaltending gives them the edge. Rangers in 7.

[LouCypher]

Devils in 7, they will bring the H-E Double Hockey Sticks back to the playoffs.

[OILFAN #81]

Want the Devils to win the series but I think Rangers win this in 7.

[activeStick]

Never Adam Fox, go Devils
