pleasepassthesoup 2 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 The Devils have been the better team in 4 out of the 6 periods in this series, so far. Keep on winning periods and we'll win the series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HOLLYWOOD 132 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 And of course Tortorella is just too important to answer simple friggin' questions. Craig Button called him out on the NHL Tonight and frankly Torts can sit in the locker room the way he's acting/treating the international press and sports media. It doesn't take an Ambassador to spend 10-15 minutes to talk about the game, etc to the press and fans/viewers Check it out: Entire Tortorella interview transcript: http://espn.go.com/blog/nhl/post/_/id/17074/entire-tortorella-interview-transcript Watch John Tortorella’s Game 2 press conference, as he’ll ‘keep it in the room Greg Wyshynski ’http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/watch-john-tortorella-game-2-press-conference-ll-033731976.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NJDevs4978 802 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) lmfao, that's even funnier than I thought. Want more angry Torts This was almost a carbon copy of the 'we know what we did' nonsense in Game 5 2007. Edited May 17, 2012 by NJDevs4978 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph 1,409 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 who cares about torts - guy has a screw loose. Huge win there, down a goal late in the 2nd, come back to win in regulation - it's nice. I thought NJ was the better team in the third, didn't get a final chances count from anyone counting, but NJ definitely had way, way more zone time than the Rangers in the game overall. It's going to be difficult for the Rangers to play this way for this series - they'll have to get Brodeur to falter, 'cause otherwise, it's going to be a grinding series for their defensemen. McDonagh is really holding up, but Staal has looked pretty bad, as has Girardi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neb00rs 2,944 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Honestly, Torts presser was his most tame yet after a loss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maxpower 21 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 McDonagh is ridiculous, for something you get for getting rid of Scott Gomez. But throwing yourself at pucks is a dangerous, dangerous game. One day you do it, and you can't get your foot back in a skate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
'7' 1,302 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 McDonagh has been good, but I noticed at least twice tonight he was hobbled by shots and limped to the bench...he may be nearing his breaking point as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RunninWithTheDevil 1,500 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 chris lee is the worst ref in the history of the NHL and he should be ashamed to step onto that ice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamtheprodigy 23 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Reffing bad. Ice bad. Penalty box door bad. Devils good. Game 2 is ours. Coming back from a late 2nd deficit and scoring those even strength goals has to do wonders for our confidence. We really outworked them tonight, and had long stretches of domination just like against Philly. If we play three more games like that one, and hopefully don't get as many BS penalties thrown our way, we will win this series. Also good to see that we looked more confident in beating their defensive system. Their shot blocking wasn't nearly as much of a factor tonight and we were very good at getting pucks through the first blocker and onto our own sticks for deflections. That's how you beat the 6 goalie scheme. Takes talent, but we got plenty of that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ghdi 65 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 First two periods of game 1 and the entirety of tonight we have outplayed this Rangers team. Marty is the key, as usual. Id so love to see him lift that cup one more time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Devils731 36 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Does anyone have the ratio of Devils to Rags PPs the past two games? Rangers 1 for 4 and 1 for 4 Devils 0 for 4 and 1 for 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueSkirt 64 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 like the FLA games, we're dominating at 5-on-5. stay out of the box as much as possible, and this series can be ours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Legion15 37 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) Reffing bad. Ice bad. Penalty box door bad. Devils good. Game 2 is ours. The reffing? gonna happen a lot. the new NHL: where the refs aren't accountable for making bad calls. The ice? someone needs to have a talk with the MSG ice crew. that ice was a disgrace, would have expected it in Phoenix where it was 120 degrees outside. Penalty box door? lol it's one of the new MSG renovations. MSG will never be a Rock-class facility. The only big deal I've seen from TV is that they put that glass hallway in where the players come out, like Cowboys Stadium. Eh, big deal Game 2: DEVILS DOMINATION! Torts: "keep it in the room" is not an answer! Edited May 17, 2012 by Legion15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaneykoIsGod 120 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Of all the playoff games we've played so far, I felt like last night was among the games that gave me the least to complain about reffing-wise. Though I do wish I got to see a replay of the Ponikarovsky penalty. So far the trend seems to be losing teams having great second periods but subpar first and third periods. Very up-and-down series so far. Was VERY encouraged to see the Devils find their stride right off the bat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sundstrom 719 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Rangers 1 for 4 and 1 for 4 Devils 0 for 4 and 1 for 3 last night the rangers were 2 for 4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
