As Ray Bourque's streak of never winning the cup ended, so did coach Larry Robinson's run of never losing the cup, despite his pregame prediction that New Jersey would ruin Denver's prematurely announced plans for a parade. Robinson had been 8-0 in the finals as a player, assistant coach and head coach, but that streak ended as Colorado -- which had lost Game 7s to Dallas in the Western Conference finals the past two seasons -- won its second cup in six seasons. "I felt very confident going into this game, very confident," said Robinson. "It's 1-0, we took a stupid penalty, it's 2-0 and you are fighting the rest of the game to get back."

For the Devils, it was like they were little kids who did something wrong and their mother said "serves you right." They couldn't button this thing down when they had the chance, just like they couldn't button down other series. It seems they thought they could always turn it on when they had to. But Colorado is an elite team, even without Peter Forsberg. The Devils had their opportunities to sew this thing up. But it always seemed to take them a while to realize the quicksand they were in.
