Now you're all in big, big trouble. That's not even me talking, it's Las Vegas. Not sure if you have gambled on the NFL anytime recently, but it's absolutely true - they do know all. I guess that doesn't speak incredibly highly of the Devils chances since their odds for a championship are still higher than the number of teams in the league, but impressing enough to make a 17 point jump while currently being tied for second to last in the entire NHL in 'Goals For' ain't nothing to shake   Mike Cammalleri's seemingly useless stick at. Clearly they've seen something - other than the guaranteed superiority of Cory Schneider - that they like. Well, that or they've seen something they definitely don't like from the teams that were previously ahead of them, but either one works for me.

Place your bets now before this team realizes that "even strength" doesn't mean they have to actively try to play for a tie. Don't wait until Kyle Palmieri and Adam Henrique pick their jaws up off the ground and decide to consistently contribute offensively instead of just staring in awe at Taylor Hall, or you probably won't even be able to double your money when the Stanley Cup inevitably makes it way back to New Jersey. Sit on your thumb until Pavel Zacha and Yohann Auvitu's play starts to get reflected on the stat sheet and you might as well be sitting on the hypothetical ashes of Benjamin Franklin's likeness, because your return on investment is dwindling by the day. It's increasingly looking like a hell of a time to be Devils fan, which means it's increasingly looking like a shitty time to be someone who wants to exploit their improvement for a major (albeit ridiculously unlikely) pay day.
