Hello Mr. Ben Shelly,

Would you mind writing for both teams in this series as our Hockeybuzz writer is currently MIA?

I’m sure you already know Dougie Hamilton well. And I’m sure you’ll like his new friends too!!

It would be the southern hospitality thing to do, no?

Thank you in advance!

LOL, I felt the same about Jan on the Rags blog. Maybe it's good luck to not have a blog? I have not followed Ben this year but if he is as fair and balanced as Jan I will enjoy reading his blogs. LGD!!!!!

I've read a lot of Jan's stuff, and he's great. The Rags fans don't deserve him! I've read less of Mr. Shelly's blogs, but they seem completely on point. Hopefully a good series and an opportunity to better familiarize ourselves with Ben's work!

Welcome to the Second Round!!!!

Goaltending and special teams will win this series. If the Canes' can get the same performance or better out of the Raanta/Anderson tandem, and our PP continues to score at a decent clip, I feel CAR can advance.

Interesting side note, since BOS is out, CAR has a chance to continue home ice advantage with a strong Round 2. I sense a close series and a few OT's sessions for sure.
BINGO!

Haha, I think 5 teams on this site is all I can handle - but will have coverage throughout the series!

Sam Woo is MIA since the regular season!

His last article is about if the Devils will catch the Hurricanes for first place in the Metro!

Spoiler Alert: nope.

Anyway, didn’t know Ben was covering so many teams. So if it’s ok I’ll going to take the Devils fans to come visit here and be well behaved!

If the Devils play like they did in game 7 I like our chances. and one thing I did not like in game 7 was the penalties, stay out of the sin bin. Also, Carolina has a great D, our young guns can not get frustrated. LGD!!!!!

That's one thing I'll be interested in. Canes D is great but the real difference for the Devils in facing the Canes instead of the Rangers is how hard the Canes are on both the forecheck and the backcheck.

They don't wait for you to make a mistake and try to capitalize on it. It's constant pressure all over the ice and chaos around the net.

If the Devils D can recover dump ins and get the play turned the other way quickly then I think they have the guns to make quick work of Carolina. If the Canes can get in and get on top of them though.....
