Good to see Teddy being positive and DeBoer going to Lemaire for advice.
Watch out for Lemaire though...don't forget the other quote from the blog:

As I mentioned earlier, former Devils coach Jacques Lemaire was here this morning. He has a home in Florida and often watches the Lightning play. (He’s also good friends with Lightning coach Guy Boucher and was talking with him this morning).
OT, but I spent my entire morning watching our series against the Avs in 01, and we really outplayed them in almost every game in that series. When people say that Avs team was the best of the decade, they fail to realize they probably weren't even the best team that year.

To conclude this OT session, remember that the Avalanche had home ice advantage which means they had a better regular season than we did.
We weren't better than them. Whether our 2000 team wasn't as good as our 2001 is up for debate, but not whether the 2001 Devils were better than the 2001 Avalanche. That is case closed.

I wonder if we are on MSG+2 more this year? They said that it used to be even between the teams, but unless we aren't the rest of the year that doesn't seem possible.

Lemaire might be playing both hands...
I'm not sure if you are being serious.
He works for the Devils and his loyalty is to the Devils. There are a lot of people in the league that are friends, it doesn't mean that you help them beat your team.
I was 12 during the 01 Finals and I honestly can't remember being more heartbroken from a sporting event than sitting in CAA during game 6 as we rocked them in the first half of the game to no avail and then just got run on, I was so sure I was gonna see them win the cup that night, only had to wait 2 years from then though....
