This series was...weird? The first couple of games the Devils set the tone for most part, but ended up with the series as 2-2 (with Game 3 going almost exactly like Game 1, down to the goal scorers). When the Rangers finally woke up and started setting the pace, they lost (maybe it was because the Devils started aiming for their heads). Throughout the series, two things were clear:
1. The Rangers were T-I-R-E-D
2. Torts' press conferences were golden.
The Rangers will now have to deal with an offseason of disappointment (really? Conference Finals is pretty damn good), and the Devils move on the Stanley Cup Final.

Three Thoughts On The Series
- The fact that games 3-7 was scheduled on the same days as when they faced off in 1994 is eerie.
- The comments by JP Parise was probably the biggest "Shut up Dad" moment.
- I would talk about the Rangers, but I'm going to keep it in the room.
Here is a picture of Brodeur's scorpion save. Despite being over 40, the dude still has it.
Play Of The Series
This powerplay goal by the Devils in Game 6 was a thing of beauty.
