Ryan McDonagh (R) and Adam Henrique (L) got the extra curricular activity started early in Game 4.
Hate is such a strong word, but it’s appropriate.
It’s pretty clear the New Jersey Devils and the New York Rangers will not be going to a dinner and movie together on any off days. While relatively quiet games took place between these two teams over the 2011-2012 regular season, Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals changed everything.
The most significant regular season scrum took place between Devils’ David Clarkson and Rangers’ Brandon Dubinsky. The two met along the corner boards with a leaping elbow by Clarkson. That was quite an event but Game 4 really delivered some dirt.
It seemed like the Rangers decided if we can’t beat them, we’ll try to beat the mustard out of them. As the game unfolded, the gloves came off. The first major altercation of the evening came when Ryan McDonagh gave Adam Henrique a nice cross check to the back. We have a cause, let’s review the effect. Henri...

I know it doesn't matter because the Rangers lost anyway, but if Brad Richards would have scored the own goal on the Henrik Lundqvist all his clutchness this postseason would have been forgotten in one historically embarrassing flub......not sure I've ever seen that. If Lundqvist doesn't make the save, Richards sees that highlight in every NHL playoff highlight package...

How 'bout those lineup changes?
The question posed to John Tortorella at his Monday morning press briefing at Madison Square Garden was about which skater would replace the suspended Brandon Prust in the lineup for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Tortorella's answer? He had no answer.
"I don't know what my lineup is," Tortorella said when asked if Stu Bickel could play forward.

Dubinsky makes return to Rangers
The love-in started on Brandon Dubinsky's first shift.
A loud, welcoming cry of "Doob!" rolled down from the rafters at Madison Square Garden in recognition of a player who was playing his first playoff game since Game 7 against the Ottawa Senators in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.
Dubinsky had an assist in 15:38 of ice time in the Rangers' 5-3 loss to...

This game sure got ugly fast. The Rangers were playing like they just wanted to get out of New Jersey (let’s be honest, who doesn’t want to get out of that state?). Two first period goals by the Devils and the Rangers never recovered. It was a total team letdown, not one person can be blamed for anything, and it is what it is. It’s a best of three now, move on.

For any aspiring NHL goaltenders out there, being aware of where the puck is at all time is a must.
You always expect shots to becoming from the opposing, but it’s not too often that you see the puck coming at you off the stick of your own teammate. Well, with the Rangers and Devils deadlocked at three last night, that's exactly what happened.
Obviously, Brad...
