Probably the worst outcome for us, as far as wanting the Rangers to lose. They are going to sweep the Caps, easily. I would have enjoyed seeing the Red Wings make it, these last two games were nuts.

Ovie, you magnificent bastard: it’s time to shine like a motherfvckin’ diamond. Oshie: play like it’s the shootout, and the Rags are the Russians. Connor McMichael: for two weeks, your assignment is to channel Connor McDavid. John Carlson: you grew up a Devils fan in Colonia, NJ. You of all people understand the mission. The hopes of an entire nation rests on your shoulders gentlemen. You must prevail for the good of all mankind. Good luck and Godspeed. We’re all counting on you. Sadly I’d give them 1 game at most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would’ve been ugly. Regarding the Devils - Anything can happen and you never know what can take place if you just make the playoffs (look at Florida last year), but I agree with you - the season ended with us having a record that is pretty indicative of how the team performed and what they were capable of. Bad defense, bad coaching, bad goaltending, injuries, young rookies getting more playing time than they should, poor PP, poor home record, etc. there's reasons for each of those things, but when you have all those collectively, generally you're not going to make the playoffs. Regarding other teams, I'm ecstatic and think it's absolutely hilarious that the Flyers were over achieving much of the year and looked like they were going to make the playoffs, and absolutely crashed and burned the final 15 games of the season. I know they weren't expected to do much at the beginning of the year, but their collapse can't go unnoticed by the GM and owners.

I'd be worried about being swept I know many will disagree, but I couldn't take another Rangers series after this season. Next year I'll hopefully feel different.

I trust them much more vs the Rags than I would the Wings. Edited April 17 by MadDog2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that last WC2 spot, let's face it, ALL of the teams that didn't get in have several games that can be pointed to, in terms of why they didn't make it (and why they didn't deserve to). What's bad for a team like Philly is that they went 13-19-5 over their last 37 GP (much closer to original predictions). Yes, it's expected that they'll make changes this offseason, but do they have another massive-overachieve 25-14-6 start in them? Or a stretch like that in them at any point next season? Given their plan, they might not come as close to a playoff berth as they just did for another couple of seasons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 So, Leafs-Bruins AGAIN in the first round. If the Leafs finally manage to beat them, do they march to the cup like the Caps did when the finally managed to beat the Penguins? Leafs nation will be on suicide watch if the B's take care of them again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, mainly me lol I was on the other side of a situation like this in February, when I attended the Devils-Predators game at which the latter’s team captains were honored. Fans entering the arena were randomly given a commemorative pin depicting the jersey of a Predators captain, and it was definitely weird being handed one while wearing a Nico Hischier jersey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
