Im not crying about anything, those two elbows are nothing alike. Players make adjustments , the vid looks like Prust was at least wanting to make contact got to high up, Volchenkov made a cut at the end and Prust wasn't expecting it so he put the arm up and caught him with a elbow. The Tie Domi elbow is full on in the face, intentional, no where near the play. Your acting as if I'm attacking you, and your team, im talking about the elbows not that they both had the devils involved.For the record Tie Domi is shit.

Jeff ,Yea your team should have you as a coach mybe they would have got outa the 1st round, but they played goon hockey.

It's only goon hockey when it is against your cryer team.

I don't think you guys watch much hockey.



Not only that....

Let's say, NJ Devils vs. NY Rangers. Who are fans of who?
NJ Devils - NOT EVEN ONE player from New Jersey - closest one - from Rochester, NY.
Another thing, who needs that mockery - to play a national anthem before the match?
It's not international - kinda World Championship. And NJ Devils have only 7 americans - 1/3 of the team made of US players.
NY Rangers have 9. Doesn't it look like a joke?
Best idea IMHO would be to play HOCKEY ANTHEM....or in most NHL teams case - anthem of Canada - where most players are from.

When NJ Devils vs NY Rangers - it isn't NJ vs NY. It's just OWNERS of that teams and ARENAS where is all LOCATED.
It just shows, how easy is to fool people. If I had a money bag and able to buy a team and to find an arena, where team would play, I WOULD ALWAYS to find tens of thousands of idiots, who will think that's theirs team, will bring all their money to team matches, buy merchandise, EVEN IF A TEAM roster will be out of players from another continent, which fans of the team would have troubles pointing on a globe or a map.

Isn't ridiculous, when New Jersey cheer for team that has no player from New Jersey?

A US National Anthem for Canadians, Czechs, Swedes, Finns, Russians....etc?
Isn't that ridiculous?

they don't play for an anthem, they don't play for a flag, they don't play for a country, they play for the cup, and the winners all drink out of the same piece of hardware

How fortuitous, my parents were at the game tonight and I told my mom to pick me up a Henrique t-shirt.

Do the Devils still hold the record for lowest seed to win the cup (5th)? If so, that record is going to be broken this year.

Edit: DeBoer's son was on the MSG postgame (local regional sports network). Wearing a Henrique jersey. He knows what's up.

My wife pointed this out to me. My wife is awesome.

The Wings only got 2 days off before '09 finals. I remember complaining about it here and someone piping in that it's always like that and that I must not watch a lot of hockey.

Why's that the most commonly said thing here. "oh, you must not watch alot of hockey, therefore you should shut it."

Anyways, you win the conference finals in less than 7, then you'll get a longer break. It would have been the same 2 days off for the devils or rangers had the rangers won last night.

IIRC Wings won the conference finals in 6 and Pittsburgh won in 5. Oh well, water under the bridge . It's all about the TV ratings, but it is curious that they went out of their way to not have the finals start on a holiday weekend.

Not just here, hockey boards too. Post an opinion that someone doesn't like? 'Oh, you must not watch much hockey.' Or 'You didn't watch hockey back when [insert hyperbolic characterization of player behavior/ability here].'

Very happy the Devils are going to the SCF. Winning a 4th cup would be wonderful. I'm hoping to be at game 5.

And frankly, it's stupid. It's an unpopular sport, we should not be making casual fans feel unwanted.

I'm going to be in Ohio for the first two games... that kind of sucks. I thought about buying tickets for game 5, but when I tried to get in on the presale it kept telling me the event didn't exist. Then I was away from home most of yesterday, then they sold out. Bleh.
