Here's my take:
The Rangers are HOT right now, able to pull together their offense and defense to win games. The question is, are they like most teams and just streaky now, with an end to that streak sooner or later? Or have they finally figured out how to pull all those egos together to function as a team? No denying their success of late.
The Devils are in one of those weird times where you just don't know what team is going to show up. They could win 5-1 one night, and loose the next. I think some of it depends on how much Sutter kicks their butts and treats them like 8 year olds - if he collars every one of the players, they win. If he treats them like adults, they fall apart. So far the history between those teams (for this season) favors the Rangers. Being a Devils fan I'm both rooting for them AND think they can ruin the sweep. Will they? I just don't know - and that answer might be telling enough. :P They are sure going to miss Elias, going into the playoffs.
