Another Devils fan here wandering into enemy territory before the bullets start flying. Hoping for a really good, hard fought series between these two teams. I'm confident in the Devils, but I'd be lying if I said the Kings didn't scare me. Their playing style a mirror image of the Devils, but with a better defense and more consistent goaltending.
Yup, your forecheck scares me because we've seen the Kings have success with the same.

This to me is the key to the series for both teams. Whichever team's defensemen move the puck the best up and out of their own zone to prevent the opposition from establishing a forecheck wins this thing.
I think you're right about Quick. He is the X-factor for the Kings. I expect he may bail them out once in this series.
Not really. This is a team that WILL be playing and what they did. Not two random statistics from 9 and 17 years ago.
Uh, no. The teams that had been 12-2 before WERE playing too. And their records didn't matter. As the Kings' prior playoff record thus year also doesn't. Starting from scratch tomorrow night.

The record doesn't matter, but the confidence and momentum built up from collecting that record is pretty important.

Thanks for pointing that out. I think Sutter beat you to it though since he has said that before each playoff series.

Not saying its the be all end all, but it does carry some weight, as it is relevant to present events. In the confidence that creates (as others said).
What you're saying is like me saying, "The 1981 Dodgers beat the Yankees in 6 games to win the world series. Based on that, they will this year too."
"We could be watching on TV. You know what, this will take an hour out of today," Sutter said of the media session. "What are we going to do? Go to the mall?"

In Anžes hometown Hrušica, population 2000, they're setting up a 15ft screen for a group watch. The show starts at 10pm, to probably around 5am. Pretty nice.

I am sure NBC is already working on shutting it down and stealing the punch and pie.
