Welp, this series is over.

The Devils had a great season, and getting to see them win a series (especially against the Rangers) was amazing. But they're learning a hard lesson right now, about what it takes to compete in the playoffs.

Hopefully they understand that they're getting badly outworked by a less talented team, and in the off season and next season they start developing the kind of work ethic they're seeing from Carolina.
