There's more than a trip to the Stanley Cup Finals at stake in the Round 3 series between the New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers.
Hey New York Rangers fans, need a lift to the game on Saturday?
New York Rangers coach John Tortorella has little patience for mistakes and a big one by leading scorer Marian Gaborik on the New Jersey Devils' tying goal got him an extended stay on the bench in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Brodeur, a lifelong Devil, likes the cross-river rival Rangers about as much as you'd expect. This weekend we also learned he isn't a big fan of New York City. But wait, there's more.
David Clarkson's deflected goal 2:31 into the third period snapped a tie and lifted the New Jersey Devils to a 3-2 victory over the New York Rangers that evened the Eastern Conference finals at one game apiece on Wednesday night.
Shot blocking has become a hot topic both at the NHL level as well as the NCAA level. The question being: Is shot blocking ruining the game?
For the third straight series, the New York Rangers are basking in the glow of a 1-0 lead earned in the confines of "The World's Most Famous Arena."
Fans who root for the Jets and Islanders won't admit it, but the big games this year certainly have to give them a moment of pause, a time to reflect and ask themselves: What did I do to deserve this?
Perhaps it was an innocent comment. But Devils goalie Martin Brodeur planted the head-hunting seed after Game 1.
In an effort to maintain home-ice advantage, the Devils launched a campaign to keep tickets to the Rock out of the hands of Rangers fans.
Henrik Lundqvist is finally ready to step out of Martin Brodeur's shadow, and can do so by defeating the Devils on the path to the Stanley Cup Finals.
If the Devils are going to have any chance against the Rangers, they need to do more than find a way to beat Henrik Lundqvist.
After 14 games and two nail-biting playoff series wins, the New York Rangers insist they have plenty left to make a run at the Stanley Cup. If any proof was needed, Henrik Lundqvist provided it with a shutout victory over the well-rested New Jersey Devils on Monday.
The goaltending matchup between the ageless wonder, Martin Brodeur and the King, Henrik Lundqvist will easily be one of the most talked about storylines throughout the Eastern Conference Finals.
Sure, the boroughs are abuzz with hockey fever. But New Jersey goalie Martin Brodeur is more concerned with the scene across the Hudson.
