well what it comes down to now is that NJ must win game 3 obviously. i dont normally complain but if you look at the stats for the # of goalie interference calls in both the regular season and the playoffs, carolina was up near the top for getting called. In the first two games i cant even count the # of times that they have run into brodeur. i agree that parise's goal last night shouldnt have counted because gomez was interfering with ward, but calls like that should have been called in game 1 too.

i wont blame last night's loss on anything, it's the playoffs and stuff like that happens...that's what makes the playoffs the playoffs.

going into the playoffs i didnt want the devils to play the rangers because they were either going to lose to them or have to fight and claw to beat them and be tired for their next series. it seems that something the opposite has happened. they had such an easy time dominating the rangers, that they have lost focus and forgotten what they had to do to win out the last 11 games of the regular season to solidify their playoff seed.

things better change in a hurry or else this series will be over fast. to have any kind of shot against this quick canes team they have to win the next 3 games...

on a side note i find it amusing to hear the ranger fans talking shit cause they dont like the devils...all season they went on and on about being in first place when they hadnt made the playoffs for the last 9 years and now they so quickly forget they only scored 4 goals last series, led for only 4 minutes all series, and got swept...

i would rather have my favorite sport be one where you never know which team is going to get hot come playoff time and go all the way. otherwise it would be the same predictable boring shit as baseball, where the yankees are in the world series all the time.

actually a better example would be the NBA, the same teams are in the later rounds of the playoffs every year, most predictable sport in the world.
And baseball is actually quite random with teams like the White Sox,Angels,Marlins,Diamondbacks, all wiining the world series in the pastyears, while the yankees have only gone to it twice in 5 years,and havnt won a world series in this millennium

Ducks take 3-0 lead on Av's

Bryzgalov had the second longest scoreless streak in NHL playoff history, at 249 minutes, 15 seconds.
The record was set in 1930, at 270:08
The next 2 best were set in the 1930's, which he passed in Game 3.

This is crazy...

Avs get beat up again, Senators down 2-0 to Buffalo as well as both Jersey and Edmonton.

Things are not lookin good for me.

I think my predictions so far have been a little cocky.

Devils lose again to Carolina 3-2 and Buffalo tied with the Sens 2-2.


Time now to make a new prediction.

If Buffalo wins in OT... Devils season is over by Saturday and so will the Oilers.

If Ottawa wins, Edmonton wins game 3 and possibly the Series(which i think won't happen).

As for the Anaheim Series with Colorado... BRING OUT THE BROOMS!

Oilers take Game 3 against Sharks - in triple overtime!

devils are done...no doubt about that.

if you had asked me if i was willing to trade possibly getting swept by carolina for finally beating the rangers in the playoffs and embarrasing them as well, i would have said yes in a heartbeat.

i am rooting for buffalo and anaheim...

Quack quack
Ducks sweep the Av's
