Facing The Boogeyman: Can the New Jersey Devils FINALLY Beat the Carolina Hurricanes?
In this episode, Zach Berman previews the New Jersey Devils' upcoming game against the Carolina Hurricanes, highlighting the Devils' long-standing struggles against this opponent. He notes that the Hurricanes recently dominated the Florida Panthers and emphasizes how Carolina has consistently outplayed the Devils, both in the regular season and playoffs. Zach Berman expresses skepticism about New Jersey's chances, citing specific stats like the Hurricanes outscoring the Devils during power plays and describing Carolina as the Devils’ "boogeyman."

He references possible trades and management decisions, including speculation around Tom Fitzgerald and certain roster moves. Despite the recent wins, Zach Berman remains critical of the team’s direction and skeptical about quick fixes, urging the Devils to play a complete game and show progress—even just securing a point against Carolina would be seen as a step forward.
