....As for Tuco - the Lightning have a 'huge edge' in forwards? Have you seen the rest of the guys they put out there past the Big 3? Elias, Gomez, and Gionta have had an off-year for sure - but considering they can get hot at any time, and that the Devils actually have 2 scoring lines and one excellent checking line - I can't see giving Tampa a huge edge.

I agree, in addition the Devils hold the easy advantage with special teams play... Devils are 4th in the NHL in penalty kill, Lighting is 28th... on the power play Lighting is 17th and the Devils are 23rd.
