EDIT 5:25 PM ET: Hooray. A win. Good job boys. Let’s do more of this. Mmkay?

Goals in back-to-back games?

This is not the Dainius Zubrus we have grown to know and love, that’s for sure.

Oh, Zubbie! How we adore you!

As I sit and write this, Mr. John Madden nets a pretty goal. His 19th to boot. 4-1 New Jersey against the big, bad Avalanche. When’s the last time Black ‘n Red scored four goals in a game? It’s been a while.

Ah. Mike Rupp takes a penalty. What a butt. Colorado scores rather quickly. Devils cry “hand pass!” The play is under review. Replays show a shoulder shrugging the puck into the net. I have never seen such a thing.

Aw. The goal stands. Apparently, one may not kick the puck into the net, but shoulder shrugs are a-okay. I call shenanigans. Liles, you are stupid. Stupid I say!

Alas, it is now 4-2 New Jersey. All that matters is that the Zubbiemonster has tallied another goal. I enjoy this, if nothing else.

The last few minutes of this game shall prove to be quite tense, yes indeed.
