I don't even know what to say. If you told me when the ball dropped for 2011 that on trade deadline day the Devils would be 9 points out of a playoff spot with a legit chance to make it because they are the hottest team in the league, I would have wanted to know what you were smoking.
But alas, here we are, one day before March and the Devils are nine points out of a playoff sport are are 12-2-2 in their last 16. While it's still a long way to go, the once last place team are now on an unheard of streak. They were 27 points back and a major seller. Then they traded their then captain Jamie Langenbrunner. Since then the team woke up.
There's not much else to say. I don't want to jinx anything.
But I will say this on trade deadline day. I don't think Lou is going to trade anyone today. Why mess with the chemistry when you still have a MAJOR chance of doing something historical and special??
I guess we'll see what happens.
