That's what I was referring to.  I refuse to be the Devils version of Bill
Clement and Darren Pang.

Maybe, but since game 1 of this series, I just get the feeling that no
matter the score, they are playing from behind, just scratching and clawing
to keep up.  I can't explain the feeling, but if you'll notice, as well as
the Devils played on D for MOST of the game last night, they still came
within 10 minutes of losing the game... in my opinion, there is no way, when
holding the opposition to 12 shots, that you should be THAT close to losing.
