Awesome...even if the Devils lose, watching the Rangers melt down with 4 minutes left and seeing Avery limp off the ice made my night.

Great effort by the Rangers tonight. They gave it their all, but the Caps were just the better team.

Due to contractual obligations, we cannot show you the Devils-Canes game.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot We are in Atlanta, a closer market for CAR than WAS or NYR. They've shown like 1 NJ-CAR game on versus. I hate this crap.

Yeah, this is really where the Centre Ice package earns its keep. For the most part between the games on Versus, Wings games and getting CBC, I get enough hockey on the local channels during the regular season.

Well, I've officially cursed another team into blowing a 3-1 series lead. Good grief.
Great game tonight though, was a blast to watch, until the five minute mark of the third. Then it just got depressing. I can't believe they couldn't even get possession in the last 2 minutes to pull Henrik. As for Henrik, he made some phenomenal saves tonight. If Sather can ever put together a decent first line, they could go far.

Great goal by Carolina to tie it up at 3-3.

I got over the whole Sergei Fedorov leaving the Red Wings a long time ago, so it was nice to see FedEx still delivering at 39--not too many players that can fire a laser that beats Lundqvist glove side.

The Devils collectively turned into a pumpkin with 80 seconds to go. Sometimes, I feel like the Devils are the worst team in the NHL when the clock gets under 2:00 in the third period. What a disaster.

As bad as it was to see my Sharks play as poorly as they did, I'd rather it be that than what just happened to Jersey. Brutal, especially at home.

I feel for the Devils fans in that building tonight. In a minute and a half, you go from joy to the nerves of an upcoming overtime to ... that. The Hurricanes never gave up, and they earned this, but damn it, the Devils looked like they just forgot how to play hockey in those final 80 seconds. That was a serious punch in the gut.

You're dead to me! Seriously, any of you impartial observers want to convince me that the refs treated this series fairly? I really do normally think I'm not one to bring up that argument but this entire series I just felt like we weren't given a fair shot. Prior to Federov's goal, I counted 3 instances of either blatant elbows or interferences that weren't called, and they literally all came in a minute span. I was at a bar so it was hard to tell the players involved, but the worst elbow I saw came on the near side right along the boards, and sticks went flying. Then there was the clear knee-on-knee on Avery that left him laying on the ice and unable to get off when we were trying to get moving to get a rush going. Immediately after the game-winner, a Cap played the puck and them seemed to deliver a blow to the head of a Ranger. Again, nothing. I've never had a worse taste in my mouth after a series. And what's even worse is that, like I've said numerous times, we didn't deserve to be in this at all if not for Henrik's performance at the start. My anger isn't too crazy though...this team just didn't have enough talent to make a move. |

Logan - I counted at least 5 calls (mostly interference) that the Rangers got jobbed on in the last period. Of course 2 were on Avery and we all know he's never going to get those calls, but still with the one that was called on Girardi, I think you have every reason to be aggrieved about the refereeing in that period. The Caps weren't even subtle about hitting the Rangers at the blue line without the puck anywhere in sight.
Neutral observer, not trying to pick a fight. Just the way I saw it. Oh and Perry's elbow was nowhere near as bad as Brashear's. There wasn't the vicious uppercut motion, it was just a badly timed attempt at a hit. I could live with a game, anything more would be really harsh. Now I feel like a whore because I'm always the one suggesting that the NHL shouldn't treat players differently because of who they are - but I really don't think the Perry elbow was that bad. |

I'm excited about the matchup with the Canes but I know all eyes will be on Ovechkin vs. Crosby, as they should be.

ok, here we go. im gonna say it.
the devils are a better team without brodeur. they were this year, anyway, and i think the team expects too much from him when he's in there. he hasnt won us a playoff series in a long time. and this has nothing to do with the 2 soft goals he let in tonight. |

I'll admit it was tough for me to see some good replays of the hit because I was working at the time, and couldn't stop to watch, but what I have seen meshes with what bhlloy said, that the Perry elbow wasn't innocent or nothing, but not really anything more than a usual elbow hit, nothing vicious to it or anything. I could see a game, but anything more than that would be way more than called for. Besides, wouldn't you rather beat the Ducks at full strength? As for the matchup with the Wings, I think it's going to be a tough series for the Ducks, because they haven't had much success against the Wings in recent matchups. Now, they did beat the Wings in '07 and in '03, so not like it's unheard of for the Ducks to beat the Wings in the playoffs, but I just don't like the matchup. What makes the Ducks really dangerous is their physical play, their playoff tested and experienced and talented blueline, a tremendous top line and their goaltending. The only thing the Wings can't match is the goaltending, as noted, and even then, Osgood has a history of playing very well against the Ducks. And on top of that, the Ducks will play four at Joe Louis, of course, never easy to do. Not that same playing at The Tank, which, let's face it, is a rather aptly named building at the moment. I will disagree one thing DeTox said, and that's about the Ducks perhaps being beat up. Uh-uh. Not the Ducks. Burke may not be here anymore, but this is still largely the team he built. Physical play doesn't wear these guys out, it just gets them more motivated. In fact, I think the Sharks trying to get chippy with them is only going to make the Ducks a little edgier and ready to scrap going into the Wings series.

I see what you guys are saying but don't agree with you. The Devils need guys that clear the front of the net. The 2 losses were because guys were able to be untouched in front of the net. In the days of Stevens-Daneyko and even Craig Wolanin-Bruce Driver there is no way guys camp out like that |
