Just wanted to note that ESPN.com’s EJ Hradek finally wrote a column that focuses on Carolina’s intensity and ability to make plays, or be in the position to make plays (with a few quotes from the Devils’ players backing that up). Now if someone could just get the memo to the Associated Press…

Also, this comment (the first one) needs major props. Really, it does.

In completely unrelated news, ten years ago today, I graduated from college. Currently, I can’t figure out if I should be amazed that it’s been TEN YEARS. Or that it’s ONLY been ten years.
