Personally, I think this a bigger game tonight then most people realize. The obvious reason is a win sets up tomorrow's game to be memorable. They could clinch the division and eliminate the rags both in the same game, which would be a marvelous night for Devil fans (it's even sweeter happening at MSG).
However, most importantly is the intimidation factor. By slamming the Bruins tonight, the Devs would put some doubt in the B's minds before the playoffs start. Come out and let them know the Devs have every intention of clinching the #2 seed, and every game they see them will be tonight (hopefully an energetic, physical game resulting in a win).

I'd rather see a hard-fought one goal win for the Devils, a blowout and they be a little overconfident in the playoffs. The B's are tough, don't want to look past them.

These Devils are not going to write anyone off.
If they win the division, they should play the Bruins, and they should beat the Bruins in 5. This is not a particularly strong team. The Devils are better in almost all aspects.
Anyone remember the last game of 2000? Arnott's game winner set the tone for the Panthers-Devils playoff series.

Exactly what I was getting at Tri. Set the tone now.These Devils are not going to write anyone off.

Could be a preview for Round One. They need to win to keep ahead of the on-a-roll Phailures. Losses in these last few games might play with their heads a bit then there are the time in bewteen last games and playoffs.
Thanks Lurker

Forget the playoffs. Win the division first! I'd rather not see Toronto is the 1st round. Let the Leafs and Flyers beat eachother up.

Whoever comes out of that though, will be primed, not a defeated team as many predict...

Aylbert they may be primed, and pumped up, but they will be beat up and tired, no way around that.
"Jay Pandolfo's last game at Boston University was against the Wolverines," Madden said. "My job was to cover his line. Jay had scored something like 30 goals in 30 games that season. And that was his 31st game. Guess what happened?"
"We always joke about it now," Madden said. "Jay tells me: 'You shut me down that game and you've been shutting me down ever since. The only problem is, now you're playing with me. ' "
