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.

New Jersey Devils coach Pete DeBoer is going with speed over experience with handing Jacob Josefson the start over Petr Sykora.
Suffering from a wrist injury since early April, the Devils coach is hoping Josefson can makeup for where Sykora has been lacking. And that lacking is everything offensive with no goals or assists and just three shots in goal in the series...

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 Devils are one win away from a date with the Los Angeles Kings in the Stanley Cup Finals. After coming out quick and early, scoring 3 goals within the first 10 minutes of the game, New York "rallied" back, scoring & knotting up the game after 3 un answered goals. Two of the goals, questionable, as well as MANY calls in general, throughout, for BOTH teams. A blatent...

Last night the New Jersey Devils came out flying, capitalized on some scoring chances early and didn't look back as they went on to defeat the Rangers 4-1 to tie the series at two wins a piece. Here are some notes on the game.
- I'll start with the Pete DeBoer - John Tortorella incident as that's what is getting all the talk right now. From DeBoer's perspective...

If the Prudential Center advertising of “Guaranteed Wow” always make you chuckle like a little school girl because of how corny it was, it sure changed after Monday night’s Game 4 victory for the Devils over the Rangers. It was simply a wow!

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...

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.
