New Jersey Devils coach Pete DeBoer is going with speed over experience with handing Jacob Josefson the start over Petr Sykora.

Mike Rupp isn't on the ice to score goals. He's on the ice to stir the pot. Well, consider the pot stirred. Rupp looked like a man on a mission when he took the ice with the Rangers trailing 3-0 in the third period of Monday's Game 4. He roughed up Steve Bernier at the faceoff circle, dropped Peter Harrold behind the net and gave Anton Volchenkov a decent push. Rupp&...

Rangers-Devils turning old school on us
The New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils said all the politically correct words after Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals concluded Monday night, but make no mistake:
The war of words had gestated into simply a war.
"Two teams battling it out," was Peter DeBoer's assessment of the extracurricular activities that marked the Devils' 4-1 win over the Rangers...

The first home game of the Eastern Conference Finals for the Devils at The Prudential Center seemed like a mirror image of Game 1 at Madison Square Garden. Two great periods of hockey and tempo by the New Jersey Devils on a Rangers team fighting to keep it 0-0. Then, the usual cast of characters made the...

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.
