I fully agree 100%. I’m taking heat at work for being a Devils fan, but I think it’s been an awesome series this year. One of the best that I can remember!
And Sue, I don’t want the Avs to lose to deny Ray his chance, I want the Devils to win so I can get my picture with the Stanley Cup.

It’s one of my summer vacation goals.
I’m a Kings fan, and yet I’m happy for Bourque (and Rob Blake was well, who was a favorite of mine with the Kings).
Yes, the whole Bourque angle has been overplayed, and yes, I’m sure many people are sick of hearing it. No, Bourque didn’t need a Stanley Cup win to “validate” his career–he’s a Hall of Famer no matter what. One of the best defensemen to play the game, period.
I also feel for the Devils and their fans, who probably were just as deserving of a victory in an incredibly hard fought series.
That said, I’m happy for the Avs, their fans, and particularly Ray Bourque. Great player, class guy (based on what I know of him–I haven’t met him personally).
The only thing I’m sad about is seeing the Hockey season end. Not that baseball, basketball and football don’t keep me occupied.
