TEAMS: New York Rangers, New Jersey Devils, Boston Bruins, New York Islanders
The past 7 days of Devils hockey was, well, in a sense, hellish. New Jersey had a 1-2-1 record in 4 games played against 4 very difficult NHL clubs in the Rangers, Bruins, Capitals, and Islanders yesterday afternoon. The Devils one victory would be the third game of the week after losing two straight; an Atlantic Division rival matchup between the Rangers in MSG, in which the game would be a 2-0 shutout for Henrik Lundqvist who'd record 13 saves. The game against the Rangers was odd, not many shots on net, the one goal was punched in by Hagelin on the right side of the cage after a poke check pass from Callahan behind the net beating Brodeur top shelf up and over his right shoulder. The second goal would be scored with the empty net as newly acquired D-Man Marek Zidlicky couldnt stop the puck carrier, not even with the hooking call assessed.

Can Lundqvist Be What Brodeur Was?
from Johnette Howard of ESPN New York, They are the best New York sports story going in the city other than Linsanity, and yet they haven’t captured the city’s imagination the way they’re going to if Henrik Lundqvist can just keep his pace up. But whether he can is the question on which the Rangers’ Stanley Cup hopes pivot. Because unlike the 39-year-old master facing him...

And the Rangers draft…
Over the next few weeks attention will naturally be on the Rangers sprint towards the finish line, a possible President’s trophy and home advantage in the playoffs; as it should be. However we like to do things a little different here from time to time. Why are the Rangers looking at the President’s trophy? Good drafting that’s why.
The current roster is littered with Rangers...
Sweet, Sweet Revenge! Near "No-Show" Rangers Fall in Newark
This game right here... one word ladies and gentlemen. STATEMENT. The Devils would strike early. The offense was awake, the defense was smart, and our goalie, wow. Martin Brodeur was spot on, shutting down 25 of 26 shot faced, killing off 2 Rangers power play opportunities, and holding his own against Henrik Lundqvist at the other end of the ice. New Jersey nearly dominated...

Game day started well for the Rangers as Michael Del Zotto and Ruslan Fedotenko were both restored to the line-up to face the Bruins in the nationally televised matinee.
