Yep, people dont respect the Devils. Fans, teams, players, writers alike.....
My view of them is a team that plays very well yet bores the hell out of me and is lacking any real star or asset that catches peoples attention.
I find the Devils uninteresting, and when they won the cup I pretty much just said "meh, the ducks couldnt pull it off.... oh well".
Its not that I try to disrespect the devils, its just my automatic reaction and attitude towards them that makes me tune them out... I really dont care whether they win or lose.... ever. At least with a team like the Ducks I can cheer them on cuz its a great run, or a team like the Rangers I can boo to hell and hope they lose...... but the Devils..... are just..... "meh".
