GAME 1 DEVILS 5, Tampa Bay 3

I've started this post with about 3 mins. to go in the game, The Devils up 4-3. A couple of plays that were not goals that stood out....2nd period..Andy Green of the Devils makes a perfect poke check to break up a 3 on 1 breakaway.....WOO HOO Brian Gionta just scored 5-3 Devils...Anyway 3rd period Marty makes a great save but the rebound lands on Martin St. Louis' stick and Marty slides across and robs St. Louis......

Scott Gomez's speed set up a couple of the Devil's early goals...He brings the puck up ice as well as anyone...


IT'S OVER THE DEVILS WIN THEEEEEE DEVILS WIN........5-3 . YES!!!!!

Let the Playoffs Begin.......

Time for the NHL playoffs! Yeah! So here are some predictions for the East. I can't do justice to the West, they play too late in the evening here on the east coast!

Buffalo vs. NY Islanders: The Islanders put everything they had in just getting into the show. Buffalo is a very talented team BUFFALO in 5

Tampa Bay vs, N.J. Devils: Defence wins games. This is a classic match up. Tampa has guns but the Devils have Marty. NEW JERSEY in 6.

Ottawa vs. Pittsburgh. Experience vs. youth. OTTAWA in 5.

Atlanta vs. ny rangers. What I find interesting about this series is the fact that both teams need to win otherwise their season sucks. This is Atlanta's first time in the playoffs. It comes down to how the well the two goalies play. ATLANTA in 7.

No Hockey 2 nite

It's kinda of a weird night. With three teams (Devils, Icelanders and ugh rangers) in our area we are usually assured of at least one game on the tube. But not tonight. Oh well. The Devils get back into action tomorrow vs. the Caps and the great Oveckin. I will however be at my favorite brew pub quaffing some fresh pilsner with my niece and nephew......oh well that's why TiVO was invented.......

Weekend Update and DEVILS 6, rangers 1

I had a major head cold this weekend, which was OK because I didn't have to work. Did put a damper on a few things though. We did get some Christmas shopping done. I did get my bike shoes and peddles, however the head cold kept me off of my new bike. The weather today would have been perfect for a ride, however I decided to rest up for the week ahead. I'm sure that tomorrow will be our busiest day of the year at the old Post Office. Ho Ho Ho....

Just finished watching the Devils and the rangers. The Devils just stomped the rangers 6 -1. Just to show you that you can watch thousands of hockey games and not see everything, I present the Devils 5th goal of the game. Patrick Elias took a hard wrist shot that bounced right back out. The goal light did not come on nor did the referee indicate a goal. Play continued. And continued. It was over 3 and a half minutes later that the play stopped and the goal was reviewed. The replay clearly showed the puck hit the top corner of the net. Now the weird part. The clock was reset to the time of the goal, erasing the 3:30 played after the goal. If anything had happened like a minor penalty or another goal it would have been erased. Never saw that before. Then the Devils 6th goal was also reviewed and that one counted as well. All Righty Then.......LET'S GO DEVILS !!!!!!!!!

Ah Well....

The Devils wound up losing to the Bruins 5-2 last night with the 5th goal being an empty netter. Marty has had his rest and he needs to be at the top of his game as the Devils face Detroit, Atlanta, and Washington among others before Christmas. Let's Go Devils!!!!!

Holy Crap!

December 3, 2006: The New York Islanders have moved into first place by one point over the new york rangers and the New Jersey Devils. In related news hell has froze over, Santa Claus is not coming to town, and you can now eat all the salt and fat that you want................
