Fuck both of them. I hope the Hurricanes, Caps, and Panthers all make it.

No way. I wish the entire southeast division could miss the playoffs.
Fuck them.
All that matters is the easiest road for the Devils. I know the Southeast teams don't deserve to be there.
Right, and here I thought they were the only team in NHL history to win the Stanley Cup and not make the playoffs the next year. Must be my mistake.Quote:

Since the Hurricanes did it, it is your mistake. I do like how you're willing to return to 1996 only when it doesn't prove how much better the Devils franchise is than the Rangers though.Quote:

Right, the 1995 season deserves an "*" anyway, since it was only 48 games.Quote:

Any rational person in the civilized world would take the Rangers crappy-because-Yoshi-says-so Franchise over the Devils in a heartbeat, if given the choice over which of the two they'd like to get for free. I think that says all that needs to be said about which is a better franchise.
I'm not so sure about that, but once your fan loyalties are cast, there's really no going back.
The Rangers sure suckered in a lot of fans in the nineties.
If you knew as much about hockey as you think you do, you'd know that the Rangers have had considerable fan support throughout their history. Whoever jumped on board in '94 was off the ship in '96.
(* Wednesday night marked the Rangers' 100th consecutive regular season sell-out. The streak began on Nov. 5, 2005 vs. the New Jersey Devils. Including seven games from the 2006 and 2007 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Rangers have sold out 107 consecutive games. On September 17, 2007 it was announced that individual game tickets for the 2007-08 season sold out in less than one hour, which is believed to be the fastest season sell-out in team history. The Rangers look to extend their sell-out streak when they face-off against the Boston Bruins on Sunday, January 20 (12:30 )
I've only been alive since '84. Only years from '90 on matter to me, really.
And I know quite a bit about the history of hockey.
The Rangers can't help but have fans. Original six, millions of city residents, and a terrible franchise.
That's why I said all these people that had loyalty to the Rangers from *whenever* can't really go back now. Once you're a fan, you're a fan for life, unless you're some bandwagon jumping assclown.
It was poorly stated, but the nineties sure did sucker in a lot of Rangers fans, and I'm sure not all of them jumped ship. But that is only semi-related.
Yeah, I guess that plays a part in it. The original six have rabid fan support because they've been around nearly a hundred years, regardless of performance or where they are in the standings.
