I've already come unglued about the whole thing the whole summer, man last year was such a nice surprise, the rebirth of hope is always a huge thing, especially with a very young team.
would be nice, either one of them, but hope is already heavily restored, and moral can be a dangerous thing.
As a Devils fan that's still happy with the run despite the fact that captain bitchpants high-tailed it home after saying all year "it's about winning"...let me say..damnitt. I got nothin. You guys are going to be absolutely filthy, and right now the clear-cut cream of the crop in the East resides in NY and Pittsburgh. Don't sleep on the Caps though. I know they lost Semin, but the Ribeiro trade is one of the best moves of the off-season.
Caps made some great under the radar moves. They'll definitely seem like they came up short by losing Semin on paper but they're going to be dangerous. Though, Holtby is most likely going to come down to earth a bit. No one can keep the torrid pace he rode.
Devs still solid, although I wouldn't be happy with ZP either, you need to get younger at goaltender....Flyers seem to be reeling....good!
