I dunno.. its a tough one...
Option 1: To suck and to know you suck, and that its hopeless to think you will ever not suck
Option 2: To almost not suck, give false hope to your fans, and in the end, sucking it really really hard...
Sure, there record this year is better than previous seasons... Sure, they made the playoffs... But when you lose your last 5 games of the season, including one to pittsburgh and one to the islanders, and all you needed was to win one of them for the Atlantic division... What does that really say about the team?
My "fear" is that the Devils are content with busting their ass and winning the Atlantic. I would almost have rathered them loose the division to piss them off enough to try just that much harder to win the Cup (or at least make it to the finals) to justify all their hard work late in the season...
But the playoffs are played for a reason, and if we knew who was going to win, there would be no point in playing the series... But its not looking good for Rangers fans...
