Klee belongs on the Rangers. You can add him to the list of sh!t that went wrong tonight... The one time Madden should lose a faceoff he wins it... Bad strategy by MacLean/Lams...get that puck deep into the Carolina zone...Brind'Amour lost it on purpose...

Blame Paul Martin for being out of position and playing hockey in never never land...what a dumbass...!

[i'm revising...if the Devils go out with a whimper after this then the season is not a success. this is too devastating if they don't recover.

Boys...we've pulled out the last straw. It seems like the momentum is going Carolina's way, and that they can't do nothing wrong... I sure hope the Devs pull out the tape from the 1995 playoffs when they went down 2-0 to the Bruins, and eventually came back with some heroics...or perhaps, bring out the tape when the Devs went up 2-0 on the Canes in 2002 (I hate Carolina as much as I do the Flyers, and the Devs should get payback for this).... Peeps, quite frankly, we deserved to lose tonight and Saturday...let's see what happens Wednesday... Brodeur is 8-19 in OT in the playoffs...horrible!!!!

I agree...luck has seemed to run out, much like the Rags were getting the bad breaks against us in the last round... There are a few things I question about this game... First...what in goodness name is Ken Klee trying to do skating the puck along the boards on the final goal...??? Dump that sh!it out you dumbass...! Secondly...why is John Madden drawing the puck back on the tying goal faceoff??? That should have gone forward, and killed some time... Third...where is our fourth line??? I mean, a team that can win cups is a team that can roll four lines, and it just seems like we just don't have confidence in the fourth line... My suggestions for next game...scratch Kenny Klee...bring in Albelin... Sorry to say folks, the last series against the rangers marked the beginning of our demise...we're done...lady luck has left the buliding....

How Guerin makes more than Kovalchuk is beyond me...

Patrik Roy is a crooked-nosed, wife beatin' bastid that shouldn't be put in the same class as Marty... FVK him...

Anyone annoyed at how "Southerly Gay" the Canes RBC Arena announcer sounded when announcing the scoring during the game...??? I'm a Yankee through and through, and this series will truly test how "nice" I can be to our southern countrymen... I strongly dislike rednecks...

First off, no offense to my friends up North, but Pierre McGuire and all those other CAN-ads who came to do TV work in the US should be deported back to Canada...they suck, and their accents belong north of the border... Secondly, did anyone notice how quickly "band wagon hoppers" Bill Clement, Ray Puke'arro, and Eddie Olcyzk were quick to condemn NJ??? Eat Sh!T NBC!!!! Long live Stan Fischler!!!

I see the Red Wings and Flyers making a pitch for Roberto Luongo...bye bye Manny and Robert Esche

How 'bout Raffy being nominated for the Norris??? Marty should win the Vezina...he, unlike Kippy, went to the Olympics, proved to be the only good player for Canada, and ended up returning home and winning a sh!t load of games...proved well in the shoot-out...and this, considering he was injured for a good chunk of the beginning of the season... No Niedermayer, Stevens, or Dano...c'mon...Marty is a top contender...if Lundquist wins, I will throw up!!!

Gio's my idol and role model...if only more players took after him....

First off, he's found drunk at 11 a.m., that's pretty sad don't you think? Secondly, he's gonna get his liscense suspended...no biggie, he's moving back to Latvia... No question, his car's a rental... Third...the rags should put him into rehab....

Good. Let Elias leave. He's a great player, but other great players will come and go. Let him be a slave to money. Believe me, he will regret it down the road, especially since his life was almost tragically cut short by a disease. He will never, and I repeat, never have the same success he has experienced in NJ. This, unlesss, the Red Wings make a pitch for him. I have a strong idea that Patty will entertain offers from the Rags... Bring in Vrana...he can be our next Patty... On Lou's side...I'll tell you, if he can't pull off re-signing Patty, he's gonna be viewed as a total failure, especially with the new Newark Arena coming about...

Petr Prucha was so devastated to get eliminated in the playoffs that he decides to lace up his skates and go to the World Championships??? I thought this was a guy that was tired of having to see his players come back hurt from the Olympics...? Lucky enough he didn't make it to the OLY's or else he would have come back tired...

Welcome to the best sports forum ever!!!! Happy posting!

I don't care who we play, but seriously, I prefer payback on Carolina for 2002...

The Rangers have a bright future... I was quite impressed with Prucha, Holweg, Ortmeyer, Moore, Lundqvist, Tyutin, Hossa.... Next year they look forward to Dawes and Staal... The rangers are a good team...let's just hope that the publicity Sir Henrik is getting doesn't make him burn out as quickly as Eric Fichaud did with the Islanders...

Elias and Langenbrunner as UFA's this coming summer severely troubles me. Elias is a long-shot to sign with the rags...that's guaranteed. However, I do see a team like Toronto, Colorado, Florida, and Vancouver taking a stab at Patty. If the Devs can't re-sign Patty, we're in major trouble...who are we going to rely on....Petr Vrana and Niklas Bergfors???

It's funny as a NYR pre-season DRAFT television show had a huge segment on Zach Parise and how the Rangers wanted to draft him. They even showed a clip when Maloney interviewed Parise in a hotel room before the draft... Can't figure out why they went with Jessiman...

To be honest, ten years ago I would have agreed with this author. I knew very little about Newark, and thus had this feeling that Newark was a "Harlem-like" slum in the middle of New Jersey. Having worked near Newark for the past nine years, and also making many friends in the community, has changed my mind. Newark is up an coming, and will take time...but it will happen! I live in East Rutherford, so having the Devs move is definitely sad. These days I'm only two minutes away from the CAA (literally speaking), and so it's definitely great! But hey, Newark is only 12 minutes away from here, so that shouldn't be so bad...plus, RT. 21 is like a speedway, so that would help cut my travel time in half ;-) Today's economics dictate the motives the Devils need a new building. The luxury suites will pretty much fund a good chunk of the Devils revenues, and a linked transportation system improves things a whole lot. This author fails to point out a few things.... 1. He didn't take the "pros" of moving to Newark...meaning fan feedback 2. He didn't suggest what "alternative locations" would be better. He's simply an airmchair author here... 3. He didn't do his homework...the NY/NJ Red Bulls will also build right across the way from the Newark Arena in Harrison. This certainly helps raise awareness to professional sports in the area, as well as help "boost" the economy in the Newark area...Red Bull Arena will compliment the Newark Arena quite well... 4. He didn't mention the NJPAC either. I'm sure the NJPAC has benefitted the community as well... All in all, he's riling up the reader, but not being impartial. However, he did say let me play "Devils' Advocate"

My props to Eric Cole for his response on Orpik's request to get his phone number... Orpik is a retard...he should have called immediately, and visited the hospital... Yes, we're hockey players, but we're also human...the prospect of him having hit a player who suffered an injury that would potentially cause him to lose his livelihood and personal mobility is enough to merit a visit to the hospital... Shame on you Orpik...may Janssen take care of you next year!!!

Hattrick...contain your excitment...it takes four to win!!! Case and point...finito!

Good game indeed guys. The Devs looked better than the previous two. For all of those fans (including Matt Loughlin) that think this is over, just bear in mind that Petr Sykora played on the very New Jersey Devils team that came from 3-1 down to upset Philly in the 2000 Conference Semis... The rags have nothing to lose, and will play one period at a time... Be cautious about being overconfident, and remember, be humble and take the high road...

Who's the rapist they signed?
