Let's not get carried away. Marty has beaten Western teams 3 out of 4 times in the Stanley Cup finals. The Devils only lost by 1 goal in these last couple of games against two of the better Western teams.

you're joking...right?

Radio commentators saying Ryan Wilson is good for at least one hit like that in every game. If that's true, I hope Lou has this guy on his radar. We could use a Stevens-like D-man in our lineup.

Yeah, as soon as that stretcher comes out on the ice, that just doesn't look good. Thankfully, it sounds like he's ok. Team report just stated he'll be flying back with the team tonight, no need to keep him in CO for observation.

Well, I'm not watching the game, but if it was a clean open-ice hit then so be it. Patty has been caught before with his head down, hopefully he wasn't concussed. I've never heard of Ryan Wilson, but if this guy can throw hits like Stevens, Lou needs to trade for him.

I believe you are correct, unfortunately the Flygirls and Icelanders also won tonight...oh well, we'll get 'em later..

Thank goodness, squashing trolls all day on NJ.com gets to be tiresome.

We need a hat trick from Gio tonight

I haven't been here that long, but I have noticed there isn't anywhere near as much trolling on this board as there is on NJ.com. I've posted there for a long time and it is constantly infested with Rags and Flygirls.

I really can't figure out why this bum hasn't been sent to Lowell by now. You know Marty can't be too happy about it either.

Gotta love Clarkson. This guy reminds me a lot of young Randy McKay. Will chip in with the odd goal/play every now and then, and ALWAYS willing to drop the gloves.

Gotta admit, I'm a little surprised no one dropped the gloves tonight. I thought Cote would've gone after Clarkson or Asham for sure right after they went up 3-0.

Hey, if we're going to do any cloning, let's see if we can get Scott Stevens to volunteer first!!...LOL

That analogy about having 6 bosses in four months is spot on, I couldn't agree more. There has to be some consistency in the line combos. Aside from the personnel, there's a real leadership gap on this team. I've long been a proponent of having Madden as captain. Let's face it, no one is going to fill the skates of Scott Stevens, but having no captain at all is a poor choice imho. Madden has the work ethic and veteran experience to lead this team. The Sutter honeymoon is over, he's got to find a way as Coach of this team to produce wins, bottom line.
