i got a strange feeling the devils might steal game 1(either way it will be 1-1 going back to jersey)...the sens always start slow in the 1st game...1st game vs isles they LOST...1st game vs flyers they won after being down 2-0, won in ot

Good call, trade. Your strange feeling is actually backed up by some awesome stats......

Over the last 5 yrs, 9 of the 10 Conf Finals started 1-1. The only 1 team to start 2-0 was the Avs in '01 vs StL (won in 5) and went on to win the Cup over NJ in7.

Good luck!
