1986/1987 Playoffs
All series 7 games- Detroit sensationally don't make it, their points total would have been good enough in any other division. They really need another top 2 defender and top 6 forward.
Round 1 We Get Philadelphia McDonald and Messier, and for our 4th playoffs roud in a row we get to 7, which we win7-2/ All games were won at home. Devils survive a 7 game series with Chelio's Penguin. Lemieux's Oilers are also through.
Round 2 Again the devils for whats feels like the 5th time in a row. We've always won, last year in 7, this season they've been average since the turn of the year, so we should be favourites, having made up 21 points in the regular season ot them. They win in 5 tight games, and for once we are not in the final!
Round 3 New Jersey Boston, and Minnesota vs Edmonton in the Conference finals. Edmonton beat the defending champs, and meet the Devils as they both won in 6!

A lot of work to do this summer. Unger at 38 is not getting his contract renewed. Dan Quin, despite being rated 4 star plays like a 1 star so is being traded. This draft is crucial for us. so will do what we have to to get the players we need.
