A) Nothing needs to be changed but their mentality. Typical Devils this year, when they give 110% I don't think any team can beat us, but then the next night they'll give 60% and be very lax. The championships of years past have been 110% 99.9% of every game played that season. This year we are getting that perfect execution and effort eh about 75% of the season thus far. So yes chemistry, but more so the Cup mentality is needed.
B) The defense is fine. If you don't know about Mark Fraser now, you'll never know. If any thing needs to happen, it's trade Colin White for a beach umbrella, because he is terrible. I can't believe he made all decade team.
PS I hate Forsberg. Not knocking his capabilities because ill say through my teeth he is a great player, but I don't like him. And you might say to me, "you'll like him in a devils jersey!" No. Just like Kovalchuk, if you dont' have Devils philosophy in you, youre just going to hurt us. It's something youre born with and Lou knows how to find it. If you told me Oduya and Bergfors for Kovalchuk, i would have paused for 5 seconds and said let's do it. If you said Kovalchuk makes us a championship team I'd say no. HE has to believe in our philosophy and our appreciation for the game of hockey. The only way makes a move like Kovy, or Mogiliny, or in fantasy, Forsberg, is because the players skill level is way too good to pass up. But by doing that Lou isn't being Lou the Great, he is making that deal and for that instant, he is equal to any other GM, for that instant, but its because you have to. I don't care if youre Kovy or Eric Cairns, skill level has nothing to do with making the Devils good, better, or best.
