280 characters forced me to write why this loss was as damaging as it was so I'll just copy it here.
Boston is better than us. They would probably beat us. The best road forward would've involved both home ice and a tough 1st round for them.
But they're getting the Devils. They're gonna pummel them. So now the B's lie in the way...AND will have home ice too.
That's the only way to sum it up. We might've been able to avoid them; surely would've had four potential home games. Now NEITHER will happen (unless Toronto knocks us out first). That's the devastating part of this setback as much as anything else.
