Attention, Devils' bulletin board: Tampa homers pick Lightning (in a rout)

And you thought it would be hard to find a homer in Florida after Giancarlo Stanton was traded to the Yankees.

The Devils beat the Tampa Bay Lightning all three times the two teams met in the regular season, but Tampa Bay Times cheerleaders sports reporters and columnists don't think that matters much -- they're all picking the Lightning to beat the Devils soundly in the first round of the NHL Playoffs.

History (like, you know, all those Devils' championships) means nothin'.

Recent history (like, you know, those three defeats) means even less.
