Sam Rosen says it's Over

Game 3 tonight.  At the Garden.  Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?


By the way, did anyone else notice that Scott Gomez plays for our team now.  Hahaha i still can't believe it

-adam


Ps. 2-0

It was over when they announced the match up. 

Rangers in four five.

Seriously.  Gomez looks better in Blue anyway.

And Sam Rosen is wrong and may have jinxed himself

LOL, three goals that bounced in off Rangers players?

You can't buy that kind of luck, nor can you depend on it.

Rangers in 6.

I said rags in 5 with 3 ot's and I'm stickin to it.

And not for nothing but Avery is such a tool. I never saw anything like that. So friggin bush league. He should be fighting Oggie Oglethorpe doing crap like that.

True, he is an a-hole.  DP's comment ruled.  islanders.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page...age&articleid=360524

But like Tucker or Ruutu, you feel differently if they are on your team.

so how about them penguins

The best part of the Avery antics in front of the net is that 10 minutes later, in the same spot on the ice, he banged one home.

Betcha Marty was pissed off as hell about that.

T

Brodeur must have nightmares about an a-hole that can score goals.  Its got to kill him.

Did you see Brodeur's academy award performances last night?

Thank god the Devils will be out soon, if I have to watch one more puck bounce in off a Ranger, or one more dive, or one more Elias goal I am gonna puke.  Seriously.  Oh, and Travis Zajac sucks.

You see that the Pred tied Detroit 2 games each?  They keep it up and maybe Kent and I can take in a Pred game while we are in Nashville.

Ottowa sucks too, how did they go from great to suck in under 3 seconds?  Bet they wish they had dumped Redden instead of Chara.

Think Philly can control Alex O.?  That whole series depends on it.

Did I mention how clutch Drury and Gomez are?  They really showed their true colors down the stretch, after playing hot and cold most of the season.  And King Henrik seems to have found his game again, which could point to NY hockey in May. 

Who am I kidding, without a power play the Rangers will be golfing in May sometime.

The Devils will get there first though.

T

By CAN Philly control Alex "Im blowing my first playoff series" O. I'm pretty sure you mean they ARE.

Philly in 6 boys.

I sympathize with you. Its nowhere near as enjoyable for you I'm sure as it was in '06 watching the Rangers get swept and Jagr getting a boo-boo on his shoulder to boot.

By the way, for all the guys who ever had the term 'agitator' applied to them, none of them ever embarassed the league so much they had to change the rules in the middle of the playoffs. Just saying.

Listen buddy, they didn't change the rule for him, they just changed the INTERPRETATION of an existing rule.

And I love Avery, but when his 'look at me' start causing him to miss goals, we're gonna have a problem.  In game 4 he absolutely should have had the winning goal if he didn't have his back to the net and hands in the air complaining about the no-call.

At any rate, don't worry Chris, all the suffering will end tonight.

Blue shirts in 5.

Claude Lemieux.

I hate Avery, unless the Isles sign him and would love for the Devils to win, but it was never going to happen.  I hate the flyers even more than Roy, but he is a Flyers fan, so I just need a voodoo doll.  Matt is so die hard, I cant root against the Flyers to his face, so I'll pretend to support them.  I can understand being a stupid loyalist myself.

The Rangers will be snuffed out soon as well if the Queen is dead.  But if she keeps it up, they may be a challange for the Pens or Montreal.



Ahh, if it were always true.

Double OT wins are so much sweeter...I guess this is what happens when the Caps play a team who isn't in the South East Division.

-Agreed

LOL, the Flyers got so many gifts from the refs last night I thought they (the refs) were wearing orange and black.

And if "handling" Ovechkin is limiting him to 5 points in 5 games, or close to it, then I hope the Rangers run into the Flyers and they handle Jagr the same way.

Of course that's not likely as both Philly and the Rangers will need to travel thru Montreal/Pittsburgh, and that might be where the ride ends.

I hope not though, the only thing better than knocking the Devils and the Flyers out of the playoffs would be knocking the Devils, Flyers and Islanders out 

T

So it happened.

That's right, halfway through the second period, Rangers enjoying a 4-1 lead and BAM, a pair of fucking goals that bounced in off of Rangers.

I puked.

Twice.

Six goals out of twelve total scored by the Devils bounced in off of Rangers.  That is terrible ice awareness, and a string of bad luck.

Enjoy your early vacation, we have to get ready for the next round  ;D

T

It sucks they lost but they went down swinging.  Best moment by far for me was Oduya giving Avery the horse-collar treatment after Gomez' goal.

Best part for me was watching Avery hold out his hand to shake and Brodeur just passing by.

Real class act.

Chico loses it

On two different occasions, moments after the Rangers put away the Devils at The Rock last night, Glenn "Chico" Resch got upset, venting that so many Rangers fans celebrating at the Devils' home rink was tough to take.

Chico was frustrated, angry, bitter.

Man, it was beautiful stuff.

There was something so decent, so human about the way Chico just completely lost his composure. Is his performance going to win him an Emmy? Never. Were the purists tsk-tsking at him last night? You bet.

I don't care. I loved it.

What was even cooler was how you could sense Chico trying to stop himself mid-thought. It's also possible his producer was in his ear asking him to re-consider a potential meltdown.

Chico is part-Islander, part-Devil. Lou Lamoriello and that organization have been very good to him. Chico is so loyal, he never considered skipping a Devils broadcast two years ago so he could attend the celebration of the Islanders' 1980 Cup team. (He recorded a joyous opening video instead). When you consider all the Islanders and Devils blood in him, no wonder it boiled as Jagr saluted the Rangers fans as he headed off the ice last night.

Chic's freak was a bit reminiscent of Billy Jaffe's anguished cry of "No! Noooo..." when the Devils scored in the final seconds of regulation against the Islanders in the last regular season game of '06-07. Maybe not textbook, but memorable.

They teach you everywhere from Syracuse to Missouri to the Connecticut School of Broadcasting to the dearly departed Marty Glickman's legendary tutoring sessions to be a pro, not a cheerleader.

But every once in a while something happens that makes all the formal training go away. For a moment, you show you're a person with a heartbeat.

Come to think of it, Billy Jaffe just won the Emmy for his work on the Islanders last season.

Chico: even though it pains you to have renegade fans in the home team building, I'll still leave a pair for your family when the Devils play the NVMC.

Just promise me one thing: don't change.

Flyers won last night! There was overtime and everything. Hooray!

....m'just saying.

Thank Poti.

i WOULD fight Ken Daneyko.


Lets go Habs

i WOULD fight Ken Daneyko.


Lets go Habs

He would probably be passed out and unable to fight you..

Poti sucks, all I heard from him after the game was whining, I was expecting two SCOOPS of tears to flow down his face.

Secondly, the this will be a real test for the Flyers, I'm not sure how this one is going to go for us. Although I have been told by a reliable Canadien source that Habs is short for some french word meaning "We like to suck monkey nuts" so maybe there is hope.
