Some things that cant be measured in a system: heart, desire, will, character, determination, dedication, swagger just to name a few.

I just think the Devils wanted it more and played much better than the Flyers imo.

Have to figure the Devils want it more than the Rangers. Devils in 5. Your prediction sir?

Devils in 7.

Here is a 3 year old member of Mensa with a 135 IQ, embarrassing herself on national TV. Can't take this kid serious.

I can't see it now. But a 3-year-old with a 135 IQ just has the potential to outlearn someone with 100 IQ. And that is compared with another 3-year-old. Not with an older child or adult. A 135 kid may skip a grade in school at some point or not, but it would be unlikely that he/she would be so smart at 3 that there'd be anything particularly wow about him/her. May read earlier, may speak earlier or conversely be so unchallenged by speech that may speak much later. IQ doesn't tell you about knowledge or functional intelligence, just about aptitude.

My dad and sister are 1 in a millions (3 std deviations above normal). That's some crazy ass smarts.

135 is just 2 std dev above normal.

Many times they just looked like men amongst boys, quite literally too.

Thats whats so hard to except. You dont mind losing if the team was competitive but to be dominated is unacceptable imo.

Interested to see how the free agent market shakes out for Semin. If he gets to a team with a really good center and attacking system, I think he will be a 40 goal scorer again. Gotta figure he should get a little north of $6 million/yr.

Carter will clang one off Lundqvists mask in game 6 with an open net.

1 goal in 10 playoff games. A running tally of 25 points in 57 playoff games, for a sparkling .43 points per game in the playoffs when he averages .73 in the regular season. As the games get bigger, he gets smaller. Nearing microscopic levels.

Conclusion: Gutless puke.
