Gosh, I sure hope not.
We’ve tried the whole desperation thing. Failed. We begged and bribed, to no avail. It’s simply impossible to wake the beast, I fear.
Have I given up? Oh, no. Not at all.
Am I trying some whole reverse-psychology deal, secretly hoping that if I kick the dog, (dog being New Jersey of course) the boys will actually win the game tonight?
Of course I am.
Jokes people, jokes.
Seriously, what does it take to get these boys to get the job done? Surely, goals would be nice. They’ve been scoring handfuls here and there the past few games though. This is not the problem. Physicality, maybe? Oh, yeah, the physical edge is also great and all, but I’ve seen enough of that as well.
Yes, Marty is being pushed around in his cage, but let each and every Devils fan exhale first, this is not the concern. The only way Mr. Brodeur gets hurt in net is by his own doing. I worry he may pull a muscle with his dramatic flops, but that’s neither here nor there.
(Somewhere, about 20 miles East of here, a bunch of clowns in blue are laughing and agreeing with the above statement. That’s fine.)
Grand scheme of things, folks. The boys aren’t clicking on all cylinders. Even if they were, it’s still not enough. The Rangers are no juggernaut, but they are light years ahead of Black ‘n Red in the talent department. No fooling ourselves, that’s not allowed right now. They’re the better team.
Just because New York may be better doesn’t mean they should win though. I know, it kind of doesn’t make sense at all, but when does hockey really ever make sense? It’s all about riding a hot streak, a beautiful wave of precision and determination to Lord Stanley’s Cup. Sure, we’re only Round 1 and all, but you gotta start somewhere, yes?
Let the Devils start somewhere tonight. Get the engine goin’, rev it like no one’s business and ride it out. It can be done.
I say this now, and I do hope it is not the last time I say it this season: GO DEVILS!
Hey first time posting here and i couldn’t agree more with you. I certainly hope its not the last time and I dont believe in my heart it is. I see a game six at the Garden in our future.
The real reason im posting is because I believe we are doing EVERYTHING right. The problem is its not happening at the same time. Early on in the series we were throwing the body and crushing the rangers (yes I refuse to capitalize their name lol) and sure they caught some lucky breaks and the calls have certainly been unfair for both sides.
We need our team to pull it all together in one valiant effort. Hit, score, Marty, stay outta the box. If we can do this we will surely have success. I stress the physical aspect because they have the talent, we need to play rough Devils hockey and grind them down and then put the puck in the net.
Thats my 2 cents.

CANT WIT FOR THE GAME TONIGHT.. ILL BE THERE CHEERING THEM ON.. LETS GO BLACK N RED
We need another win. I haven’t seen Asham’s hi-five lately and have been missing it.
“light years ahead of Black ‘n Red in the talent department. No fooling ourselves, that’s not allowed right now. They’re the better team.”
What are talking about in the above statement?
From the series that I have been watching the Rangers have only really won game. I know the series, is 3-1 but NJD have not been out played.
The Devils got the bounces going their way in game 3. games 1 and 2 were won by the iron behind Lundwho.
I think it’s been a fair and even series, except for on the score sheet where it counts.
What a craptastic game! >:O
52 seks left=-( there could be a Miracle
Yeah miracle that Marty didn’t let in a sixth! I think you can open your eyes, they lost…hahahahahahahahahaha
CJ.. your ignorant.. have fun losing in the 2nd round
