If Kovalchuk doesnt shoot the puck high and Mark Fayne doesn't miss a wide open net we're up 2-1 in that series. Those two plays were literally the difference. Oh, and scoreboard.
Don't get swept.
You make the same case if the refs calls incidental contact on the Kings third goal in Game 2 and that Hagelin buries that breakaway in Game 1 same thing with the Rangers, Devils overachieved in 2012, Rangers did this year
. I just mad about how AV is doing everything that Canucks fans hated him for: no adjustment and leaning on over the hill veterans (Richards)

The Fayne missed empty net still has me
to this day Every other player scores on that, even stiffs like Bryce Salvador and the Kremlin Kone 
. Both teams overacheived for sure, but it looks like this Rangers team is falling apart and this Kings team is flat out better than the Rangers. Hell besides Quick, this team is better than the 2014.That being said Rangers fans, scoreboard. If yall get swept I'm gonna have fun at the expense of my Rangers fan friends who shat on the Devils after we lost..... even though we beat yall to get to the finals.... And Boomer & Carton will be lovely.
Boomer.Lastly, I feel bad for Hank. He's gonna get shytted on even though I don't think he deserves it necessarily.

See I respect you as a Devils fan, unlike some of Devils fans I see on HFBoards or Twitter who seem have a insecure and inferior complex when it comes to the Rangers, you keep your hatred fair and honest. Honestly, I wouldn't care if we got swept, the way the Rangers inability to get consistent quality scoring chances and any PP production is pissing me off. I don't want to subject myself to seeing them struggle to get mediocre shots on goal and play right into the Kings game. This team needs to get changed the offensively especially at C and Defense.

I wouldn't even say that but I keep it in perspective. Reality is, Devils have won everything and get 0 respect from fans and media and probably never will. While those same type of idiot Rangers Fans on HFBoards, Twitter, WFAN and in real life who feel entitled, bytch about everything that doesn't go their way and shyt on the Devils for no other reason generally except jealousy that, the Devils are the most successful team in this market over the past 20 years not named the New York Yankees.
I think the difference between me and most Devils fans is
A. I don't hate Lundqvist (But Marty's better.... well was now Lou needs to throw him in the :bushes:, as sacrilegious as it sounds)
B. I liked Sean Avery.
C. I can tolerate the Flyers because I really like Giroux and Simmons and like Hartnell sometimes (The rest of their squad can eat a dikk).
But Rangers fans (not you) & media definitely amplify the hate. Because let's be honest if there's any hockey talk at all on the New York airwaves it's about the Rangers and you get an occasional Islander call her and there because they have a territory. The Devils don't have a territory, we've been overrun by Flyers and Rangers fans our entire existence and the core fans are generally my age and at most 5-10 years older than me (I'm 25) and every Devils fan has experienced Rags and Flyers fans invade their building every time they play in Jersey though the move to Newark has sorta helped. National perception of the Devils has never been good and if you're on air locally, unless you played or worked for the Devils you have to become a Rangers shill, even if you're a Devils fan *stares at Don LaGreca*
Basically, the Rangers and Devils are two sons of a wealthy man. The Rangers are the older son who is being has been left the entire family fortune. He is a fukk up but has so many resources he's wildly successful (the Rangers financially) who wildly underachieves and he nor the company never reach their potential (2 cups in 75 years). The Devils are the accidental pregnancy and unwanted and unloved baby that got no attention while the older two brothers, the Rangers and Islanders, got all of the attention. However, the Devils became an overachiever and became a power player over time but could never break out because he was always in big brother Ranger's shadow who undermined the Devils by his mere presence. To continue the analogy, the Islanders were the child prodigy who eventually got strung out on drugs, because another child prodigy came along (the Oilers). To this day, the Islanders are still fighting their addictions and the past season they relapsed. Oh and the Rangers fit Jim Dolan the person to a tee.
So yea, I shyt on the Rags every chance I get, a lot of it because of douchebag Rangers fans who don't know their place in need to be put it in it. And those are many. And to big up the Devils because really Devils fans are literally the only people who would stick up for the Devils in mainstream hockey talk and anytime you big up the Devils there a high chance someone will try and shyt on you.
Devils fans have a chip on their shoulder.... I think you'd admit deservedly so.
A grand lol people were paying up to $2500 for tickets.Pay $1,000 to see that, brehs.

1st 2 games were piff hope this series doesn't get crapped on if LA pulls off a sweep. I think NY wins game 4 they won't fold up.
A lot of what you said is valid, but I think the biggest for all the lack of respect and coverage has everything to do where they play in. New Jersey as a whole is considered by many as New York's redhead stepchild and one of most worthless states in America. Trust me, living in different states in college and in a short time in high school, Jersey isn't as much to others outside of it. Look at the Nets, in the NJ even in the Finals years, Nets were that second class team to the Knicks. They move the Brooklyn, everything wants Nets gear now, wears in proudly and they are seen as a real rival to the Knicks now. Trust me as a Newark native, it was nice to see the Devils to get a Cup run and to get the Draft in both NBA and NHL. Hopefully, Prudential Center continues to a sign of Newark's growth as a city
Back to the main discussion, I wish all the NY Metro teams get more talk on NY radio and TV, just to any discussion during the regular season is just pulling teeth. My main point is that some of the Devils fans hatred of the Rangers is misguided, the national media especially the people who don't see NJ as anything than NY's trash need to get more of the ire

Game 4 tickets were going for as low as $250 each a week back. MSG booth/box office HAD to sell them at that price. I know a few people who got em at that price. And now they get to see the Rangers get swept?
Don't matter who y'all lose to. LA/CHI about to be in the easts ass for a half decadeI'll just say it again.

When the Sharks and Ducks let the Kings off the hook, I figured it was LA's year. Thought the Rangers had a couple of wins in them though.
