While I believe the OP has ulterior motives with this thread, I'll go ahead and weigh in what it asks.
First off, it's not over until it's over. It has happened too many times to the Devils where they dominate the season and end up losing the last three shows (or last one in 2008's case). I'm sure the excitement for the honks (unless your a Devils fan this year) dwindles, but not for those who are there to enjoy the squeaky cleanliness of finals week.
