Well, as I mentioned, as long as we dont go down by 2, we should be in this.? Well, were down by 2, and Brodeur is putting on a 14 save clinic.? Lundqvist was good in this game, not including his first goal, but the 2nd one was all on the refs, and Blair Betts’ foolishness.? First off, the Shanahan play, NOT a penalty.? When a guy clips you and you go flying into the goaltender, thats an interference penalty on the defenseman.? HELLO!! hockey 101 refs.? Sheesh.? Then Blair Betts with an unforgivable delay of game penalty on a play with which he could have had a nice Frappucino before playing the puck which gave the Devils the dreaded 2 man advantage.?
BTW, Kudos to my arch-nemesis Tom Renney for starting the 2nd power play unit on the most recent PP.? The first unit wasnt doing squat, the 2nd unit got several scoring chances.? Funny things happen when you stick a bunch of guys in front of the net and start forcing the puck in there.
Period 3 should go something like this…
The Rangers and Devils play even till about the 10 minute mark, after which a defenseman or 2 try to force things which results in a neutral zone turnover leading to a 2 on 1 goal.? Then the Rangers manage to get 1, before giving up the empty netter.? Lets see how my impression of Nostradamus turns out shall we?
