Can that experience help going forward, or is that a cliché that gets overblown a bit?
Langenbrunner: “It depends on what you do with it. If you learn something from it and grow as a team, it can help you. You learn some things about guys in the locker room and you learn that if you’re not sharp and at the top of your game, it can slip extremely quickly. That’s what we showed ourselves. We weren’t that far off, but we were off our game by doing one thing or two little things wrong. It shows you how close and how fine of a line there is between winning and losing. I think we came closer as a team. When things are going well, it’s real easy. You have a smile on your face and everybody is happy. When things go bad, you see the true colors of people and I think we did a real good job of picking each other up. It took a few games, but we did a good job of it and realizing that when we support each other, we’re much better off.” 3. NHL.com: For years the Devils have been looked upon as a defensive team.
