They Said WHAT??

Just thought I would take a moment to put on record how the three annual hockey yearbooks are predicting the Devils to finish. I'm putting them all in one place for easy reference when we surpass all of them and, once again, perform way better than anyone will ever give us credit for. Here they are:

The Hockey News: 4th in Division, 7th in Conference
The Sporting News: 4th in Division (They did not give conference predictions, although strangely enough, at 4th in the division we still got an overall ranking of 84.)
Faceoff Magazine: 4th in Division, 9th in Conference

As usual, no credit. And, not that they're wrong or anything, but they all manage to say basically the same three things about the Devils: the offense can't score (or sometimes..."The Devils have an offense?"), the defense is a shell of its former self (read: "The Devils have a defense?"), and Brodeur needs to play way less (a.k.a., "Kevin Weekes played last year?").

Let's be sure to revisit this blog in April, and pray that they're not as correct as they always seem to think they're going to be.
