Make sure to follow Travis on Twitter! -- 1.) What's more surprising? The New Jersey Devils holding a 3-1 series lead over the Philadelphia Flyers, or the New Jersey Devils holding a 3-1 series lead over the Philadelphia Flyers without any kind of positive impact from blue liner Anton Volchenkov? Volchenkov's struggled from time-to-time this season, but New Jersey's most expensive defenseman...

Giroux throws a high hit on Zubrus

Via MentalityMagazine.com  |  May 06, 2012
Claude Giroux of the Philadelphia Flyers goes headhunting against the New Jersey Devils. Giroux was arguing about a call he did not get with the referees, he then took his frustrations out on Danius Zubrus’ head. The Devils ended up winning the game 4-2. Does the hit warrant a fine or even a suspension from NHL senior vice president for player safety Brendan Shanahan.

History books will teach that the 2011-12 New Jersey Devils qualified for the National Hockey League's Eastern Conference final at 10:06 p.m. ET on the night of May, 8, 2012. Truth is, the Devils became the third team to reach the NHL's final four at the 19:56 mark of the second period Sunday night.

Devils End Flyers Season; Move on to Eastern Conference Finals

In only five games the New Jersey Devils defeated the Philadelphia Flyers, propelling them to a date against the Rangers or Capitals in the Eastern Conference Finals. In the series against the Flyers, the Devils shed the “tired and sloppy” look for one that suited them much better against the highly-favored Flyers squad. The Devils relied on a strong defensive prowess to shut...

Brick City Sweep! - Devils Push Flyers to the Brink!

Via Running With The Devils  |  May 06, 2012
It’s safe to say, we had momentum coming into this game and well, we still have it! Maybe it’s a bit higher now that the Devils have a commanding 3-1 series lead! We very well knew that the Flyers would give it their all to try and tie up the series at 2. But hey, let’s not forget that they’re playing the NEW JERSEY DEVILS so anything the Flyers have “to say” means...

Flyers Face Elimination; Trail Devils 3-1

Via Philly Sports World  |  May 06, 2012
In order to stage any kind of comeback, you have to play with emotion in the NHL. The Flyers trail the New Jersey Devils in the Eastern Conference Semifinals 3 games to 1, and they have yet to play with any emotional intensity in this series. The Flyers have been flat all series since Danny Briere scored an overtime game winner in the first game 1 of this series. No matter what has...

New Jersey Devils eliminate Philadelphia Flyers, advance to Eastern Conference Finals

Via Kukla's Korner  |  May 08, 2012
In an utterly bizarre game, Ilya Bryzgalov gave up a terrible goal and yet kept a Philadelphia Flyers team that seemed to forget how to play defense and how to score goals in a game the New Jersey Devils almost easily won, first off-side goal included, by a 3-1 tally, capturing the series in 5 games. The Devils advance to face the winner of the Washington-New York series in the...

Claude Giroux hit on Dainius Zubrus

Here is the latest hit in the NHL that should receive some scrutiny - and the player in question deserves to  miss a game or two because of a suspension - or at least receive a fine.

Brendan Shanahan has a tough job. There's little question about it. There's no sarcasm intended there; it's a job most certainly wouldn't want but plenty say they can handle. The NHL's Department of Player Safety is existing in some semblance of a vacuum during the postseason, namely with the hits from this past weekend's Eastern Conference semifinal games...
