Alright Devils fans. Its time for me to eat crow as the old saying goes. Yes I picked the Lightning to defeat New Jersey in the Eastern Conference quarter-finals in six games. A couple of things became painfully true during the series. As goes Marty Broduer, so go the Devils. Plus, the Bolts need help if they are to make it past the first round next year. Start with goaltending, a rugged defenseman and some scoring wingers. Tampa Bay needs them all. A tough order to fill with management making rumblings about a budget cut.

So the Devils win the series in six and I am happy for Broduer who happens to be one of the nice guys in professional sports. We'll see you next season Marty!
