The New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers didn't waste any time getting the action going during Tuesday night's NHL game at MSG, as they couldn't wait to start fighting. After the referee dropped the puck, two players on both teams dropped the gloves, and play was stopped two seconds into the game.
On one side of the ice, Devils forward Cam Janssen took on Rangers forward Michael Rupp, while on the other side, Devils forward Eric Boulton took on Rangers forward Brandon Prust.
The fight between Janssen and Rupp lasted about a minute before Rupp hurt his hand, although he did return to the game. The fight between Boulton and Prust lasted about a minute and a half before the referees separated the players.
Janssen, Rupp, Boulton and Prust all received 5 minute major penalties for fighting.
The Devils won the game 1-0.

The Rangers played two abysmal periods against the Devils Tuesday night and despite a better third (and a shocking refereeing decision in waiving off a late tying goal), they deserved to lose. That said, this is a tight-knit bunch who know how they need to play and (usually) play their style of game well.
The Rangers listen to their coach. Now that Tortorella has his team singing...

I'm not going to sit here and sugarcoat a loss because of a bad call at the end of the game, so don't allow the title of tonight's postgame fool you. But the New York Rangers rightfully tied the New Jersey Devils in the third period, 1-1, with just 3 seconds remaining on the clock this evening, however they were robbed of that goal because of poor judgment by the officials...

The New Jersey Devils have won five in a row with two of those wins coming against the New York Rangers. A win over the Rangers always feels good but it is even better when New York fans do something to embarrass themselves and it’s caught on video.

Ilya Kovalchuk has had an underwhelming year thus far, blatantly disobeying his coach by staying on the ice longer than he should, and failing to live up to his lofty contract but that didn't stop him from stepping up for his teammate Saturday after Zac Rinaldo gave Zach Parise an after-the-whistle slew-foot. The two teams exchanged some hugs before Kovalchuk jumped in and decided...

… a heart breaking missed call? Yes, indeed it was. But also do not discount the fact that the Rangers played flat mostly all night and the offense, and of course the powerless play, were down right awful. Unfortunately for the Blueshirts, the Devils were the better team tonight. But still sucks that they were [...]
