There is a Correlation Between the Yankees and the Devils

I've been saying this for a while now and it's 4 New Jersey Devils victories away from my Nostradomus-like prediction to come true. I've been saying that the Devils will, in fact, win the Stanley Cup in this the 2011-2012 NHL Season. Why was I so sure? Well I had a hypothesis that they were going to follow in the New York Yankees' footsteps of winning it all the year after they surprisingly miss going to the postseason. Here's the breakdown...

New York Yankees


Made the playoffs from 1995-2007: a span of 13 straight years.
Missed the playoffs in 2008
Won the World Series in 2009

New Jersey Devils


Made the playoffs from 1996/97-2009/10: a span of 13 straight years.
Missed the playoffs in 2010/11
Are currently in the Stanley Cup Finals in 2012

Seems a little like destiny eh?

New York, New York (Parody)

Start speading the blues

You’re losing today
I want to win and save and hit
New York, New York

These Marty taunts
Are really stupid
From every person in the crowd
New York, New York

I wanna listen to an arena
That isn’t so dumb
And find we beat you to hell
Seven to one!

These little town Devils
Are winning it all
We’ll make a nice, long parade for it
In old Newark

If we can win it there
We’ll win it anywhere
You’re gonna lose
New York, New York

New York, New York
I want to beat you
In the most convincing way
And find we’re A-number one, top of the list
King of the hill, A-number one

These little town Devils
Are winning it all
We’ll make a nice, long parade for it
In old Newark

And... If we can win it there
We’re gonna win it anywhere
You’re gonna lose
New York, New York
