Dearest New Jersey,
I don’t like being mad at you. I really don’t. You make it so easy sometimes though. Do you realize that you have surely put me to an early grave? All the antacids, those ulcers are killin’ me. Oh, and I need a lot of dental work too, but that’s just because of the Meth. Still, I blame you.
You have a shot here to make it right. How? Win tonight. Please? I hate begging, I really do, but this is what you’ve brought me to here. As I sit here, writing this with my nervous twitch (okay maybe that’s the drugs), I cannot fathom the chances you guys really have if you so happen to lose tonight. 3-0 holes are just ridiculous.
I live and die by you, Black ‘n Red. When Zach Parise hurts, I hurt. When Dainius Zubrus scores, I score. Oh, and when Andy Greene actually makes a good play, I buy a lottery ticket.
Just kidding.
But seriously, boys, give it your all tonight. Desperation is not enough here. We need results in the form of grit and dedication to the game. I know you each have it in you. Bring your inner Claude Lemieux out, channel Scott Stevens, do whatever it takes to get the job done.
I may not make it another day otherwise.
Seriously.
With love,
Patricia

Have I reiterated how much I hate Colin White right now? On a 5-on-3, you give them the outside pass and cut off the passes in front. Colin just sits there with his thumb up his ass.

All they needed was a letter of desperation from me, who knew?

There will be a GAME 5! Hopefully there will be a Game 6 too, but one W at a time.
See you at THE ROCK!

I think Avery’s antics and subsequent goal were worth it.

Avery’s antics looked like they were out of Mighty Ducks 2 or something. I give him credit for creativity, it’s not often someone comes up with something that’ll be outlawed within a few months.
It was kind of like the A-Rod “HA!” moment from last year, but even more obnoxious.

I really wasn’t sure at the time whether to laugh or be embarrassed…after further review, I’m leaning toward the latter.
You guys just have to realize how unbelievable it is to see Marty the slightest bit rattled/distracted by the Rangers, after the Rangers were completely intimidated by him between the end of the 1997 playoffs and the lockout.
