Devils havent gone anywhere and like I've said we will be happy with a 10-6 record this year going into the playoffs. A 7 point loss vs a team with a higher level avg of players IMO isnt getting "Crushed". We did not plan on this being our year we have things set up for a big push next year, an 8-1 start is much better then we had hoped for.
It's going to be tough for the bottom 8 to crack the top 8, but it's going to be a battle down the stretch, and it's far from certain who the home field teams will be. I looked across most of you and allot of top 8 teams will have multiple games against eachother from here on out. It may come down to the West coast lottery, who got the creame puffs while who drew the shortest straws. I know ours is pretty much the shortest
