TEAMS: New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers, Tampa Bay Lightning
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 Blueshirts certainly weren't their best this evening, but still, they worked hard to find that tying goal, which should've counted, and had it stripped from them by the refs. Nothing frustrates me more than when a close game is not decided by the players, but rather the officials, and it happens far too often in the NHL today.
The game began with two fights right off the opening faceoff, as Mike Rupp dropped the gloves with Cam Janssen and Brandon Prust squared off with Eric Boulton on the opposite wing. Both lasted a while, but neither contained any heavy punching that you would expect ...

Tortorella Must Focus On Richards
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...

Andrew Gross at the Bergen Record reports these lines from practice today...Anisimov-Stepan-GaborikDubinsky-Richards-PrustFedotenko-Boyle-CallahanRupp-Mitchell-Hagelin...absolute waste of Hagelin's speed on a line with Rupp and Mitchell.

Garden Party: Devils Skate to Fifth Straight Win
The New Jersey Devils defeated the New York Rangers in a close 1-0 game to win their fifth straight contest. Martin Brodeur was solid in net and David Clarkson scored the lone goal of the game.

Brayden Schenn got Kovalchuked
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...
Video: Gaborik, Lundqvist, Callahan Talk After Loss to New Jersey
… 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 [...]
Brodeur blanks Rangers, Devils' run at 5 (AP)
Martin Brodeur and the New Jersey Devils thought the officials got it just right when they waved off the potential tying goal in the closing seconds. Not surprisingly, the New York Rangers had an opposite opinion as they had trouble digesting a frustrating 1-0 loss on Tuesday night. Brodeur was at his Hall of Fame best against his and the Devils' fiercest rival and he made half...
