CRYING DEVILS FANS

After stealing Game 1 from the Devils, the Rangers looked to take a commanding 2-0 lead in this best of 7 series. And they did.

After 2 scoreless periods, the Rangers took the lead on a goal by captain Jaromir Jagr. He came from behind the net spun around and fired a shot on net, Broduer who was hit by his own man,Colin White was out of position. The second goal was scored 23 seconds later by Sean Avery off of a rebound, top shelf over Broduer. The Devils made a last effort scoring with just over a minute left on a deflection by John Madden, but it was not to be, as the Rangers won 2-1.

As, I drove home, I turned on the Devils Radio, (which was on Bible Radio lol, they cant find a sports station to cover them). The recurring theme was that the Devils got no breaks and how the refs had blown many calls. First, is it just me or were they getting all those calls when they won their cups. Its called making your own brakes! It seemed like every other word out of their mouths for a 40 min post game show was the devils got no brakes. They lost a goal review, which the puck never went in, Langenbrunner didn't hook the guy that hard..etc...

If you wanna hear some whining or see bad breaks...the Devils have only scored 2 goals in this series. One was when they were on the power play and Marty Straka's stick broke, had he had his stick, he was right there to block away the pass that led to the goal. On the second goal, on the faceoff Chris Drury was basically flipped over on his head, that lead to the shot off the faceoff and the deflection in.

Overall, the Rangers have dominated this series, they are showing who is the better team, which they showed in the regular season. The Devils have not had a lead at any point in this series. And their stadium has been taken over with Blueshirts!! Also that theme "Rock the Red"..is hilarious. In game 1 the devils hit like 5 posts. What color are the posts red...so keep rockin the red devils!!
