Not too good for a team you claim will win the Cup.
In which part of "consistently beat playoff caliber teams" was I unclear?
Yup, it's all him, he's the savior. [/sarcasm] They have no real depth (that's fact) and their midgets will be out of gas come playoffs (that's opinion). Brodeur is still good, but he's also two years older. With wide open play and their clutch-and-grab defense now illegal, the Devs won't have the goal support to be able to play with the elite teams in the East (Ottawa, Carolina, Rangers, and Buffalo) come the playoffs.
I'm not sure what's more shocking: That a Bills fan would have the balls to use that line, or how remarkably much you sound like a Cowboys fan whose only argument when it comes to justifying his team's ineptitude is "Yeah but we won a Super Bowl a few years ago."
In any event, you do make a good point. The Devils are better than the Sabres this year because New Jersey won the Cup 3 years ago.
