Here's why Devils fans should still have hope of their team surviving in the Stanley Cup Finals:
Los Angeles Kings moved within two wins of their first NHL title with a 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils in Game 2.
Peter DeBoer believes the Devils will be ready to put in a better performance in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
There is no little-brother syndrome facing the Devils in this round, so forgive New Jersey if takes a bit of time to develop some animosity toward the Kings.
The Devils played one of their worst games of the postseason in dropping the series opener 2-1 in overtime, and they can't afford another sub-par effort.
The King (Henrik) is dead. Long live the Kings.
Rex Ryan and his family sported Devils jerseys at the Stanley Cup Finals. They weren't able to bring the Devils luck as they were defeated in Game 1.
It's not about opening the show. It's about closing it the right way.
Colorful play-by-play voice Doc Emrick said it best Wednesday night: "The goaltenders have been sparkling."
The Devils had plenty of chances to score on Kings goalie Jonathan Quick, but they cashed in only one in their 2-1 overtime loss Wednesday night.

East. West. It doesn't make a difference to the Los Angeles Kings. All they have done in the playoffs is win and the Eastern Conference champion New Jersey Devils became their latest victim.
The New Jersey Devils will be hosting the Los Angeles Kings at 8:00 p.m. at the Prudential Center.
The Devils' defensemen aren't exactly household names but are finally getting credit for the job they've done to push New Jersey to the Stanley Cup Finals.
The Los Angeles Kings have plenty of respect for the New Jersey Devils, as the two Stanley Cup Finalists share many qualities.
