Also don't know if this was said in here but this was actually the first time we won a series at the Rock and what a way to do it! Especially with the ways we have had series end in the Rock since it's been open. We finally got to truly break in the building tonight.

I'm teary eyed.

What a night.

So proud to be a Devils fan.

Holik on Hockey in the morning. Holik was just a big a fan of the red and black tonight too.

I almost forgot about that cause we've had so many good moments in this building during this playoff run already. 6-2 record at home so far, the OT wins in Game 6 against Florida and Game 3 against Philly...but yeah, tonight showed how much of a home-ice advantage Newark's really become now.

Even when the game got tied, fans were still encouraging each other in the hallways during the second intermission and the buzz was still there even as the Devils made bizarre play after bizarre play that drove me up a wall (Zidlicky almost drove me to the loony bin for good during the third period giving up that breakway). There really never has been a singular moment like that at home, at least not one that I've been to. 2003 Game 7 was a party throughout but it was just sorta something that builded and builded over time. This exploded all at once.

I think he may have had a tear in his eye . . . . but then again WHO CARES about pierre the one trick one way pony

GREAT DEVILS WIN, an honor to be in the bldg and celebrate with all the fans

Overall, I'm exhausted. However, if you'd asked me whether the Devils would be in the Stanley Cup playoffs at the beginning of this playoff ordeal I'm not sure I'd be able to say "yes," with a straight face. Yes, we're playing with house money at this point. And, we beat the Flyers and the Rangers to advance - and I'm not sure it gets any better than that. And to hear Barry Melrose tell us that the "Flyers should be licking their chops" heading into the Devils series and further, to have Melrose enlighten us with the wisdom that the "King" is just too good and that he'll be the primary difference in the EC finals series was icing on the cake for me. And, lo' and behold, Melrose is picking the Kings in 6. Awesome. The Devils may not win the Stanley Cup but I'm not sure I've ever been this proud of a Devils team before.

And how about the irony of Kovy and the Kings/Devils Stanley Cup finals ... you almost can't make that up.

Also it looked like Torts didn't get in the handshake line, can't say im surprised. So happy to shut his smug Hans mug up.

Shot from my seat in 116. I've got a few more videos coming eventually from the concourses while leaving the arena, but I gotta get to bed now. Enjoy.

Edit: Can't explain why it's showing up as my media class final project, so here's a direct link rather than an embed:

Here is a song that is played in germany when a series ends, something to "say goodbye" to the other team:




I'll translate the chorus:

And then we say, goodbye, (Darum sagen wir, Auf wiedersehen!)

the time with you was beautiful, (Die Zeit mit euch, war Wunderschön!)

but it's better to leave now, we don't want to see tears, (Es ist wohl besser jetzt zu geh'n, wir können keine Tränen seh'n,)

happy holidays and goodbye! (Schönen Gruß, und Auf Wiedersehen!)


It's just amazing. Last year, it seemed so far away, and now it's so close!

Best words of the night!!!! Buh Bye!!!!!!

I wonder what Rupp was saying to Broduer in the handshake line? "Sorry about the punch. I thought it was Janssen. You guys all look the same to me"
"I was just trying to clean my visor and my hand slipped". "Torts made me do it".

Amazing game, amazing atmosphere (and that was just from watching it on the internet). Bring on the Kings!!

I will eat crow and GLADLY.

I underestimated the fortitude of this team and I am happy I was 100% wrong.

Cheers, we are going to the Cup!

I'm going on barely four hours of sleep...I want to watch the postgame and other stuff (taped all of it) but all I can listen to is Doc's final call. Even more than the stuff at the arena, that's what got me the closest to tears.

I kind of want to get an Eastern Conference t-shirt but the last time I got a non-Cup t-shirt (after winning the division in 2006) it didn't turn out so well after that. This run will be forever remembered whatever may come in the Finals though.

Hey, that is a nice song! That would be cool if the Devils added it to their playlist, haha. I could imagine walking out of the arena while that song is blasting through the speakers, sort of like a last song of the night.
