Devils fans -- go back under the bridge you came out from.
As for the rangers - this is 3 eastern conference finals in 4 seasons. I've got no reason to hang my head on this team
You mean that that bridge that has 3 Stanley Cup banners hanging from its rafters
Listen I am a Devils fan, but i am not what you would call a Ranger Hater. I respect the way they rebuilt the franchise after some very lean years.
I also give credit where credit is due.
The Rangers are a much better team than the Devils currently, but the Devils have won significantly more hardware in less time since Franchise inception 41 Years ago as the Kansas City Scouts than the Rangers have in their 89 Year history as a member of the original 6.
Let compare:
Rangers:
89 Year History: 4 Cups ( 8 appearances), 3 Presidents trophies, 2 Conference Championships, and 8 Division Titles
Devils:
41 Year History: 3 Cups (5 appearances), 5 Conference Championships, 9 Division Championships.
So for Rangers fan to show absolutely no respect to the accomplishments or their key adversary over the last decades just show how narrow minded they are as fans of the game.
I will also say as a Hockey fan that the Rangers just flat out do not match up well with Tampa Bay's speed, and need King Henrique to wake up ti have a shot of rebounding here.
Henrique has given up 6 goals against the Lightning on 6 occasions in his career.
I think the Lightning will win it in 6
