The referee doesn't make illegal stick calls, the stick has to be challenged by the opposing team.

Devils actually get 2 past Quick tonight and it's good enough to get the series back to Newark.

yeah...too bad.

I'm just psyched the games aren't starting at 10:00 like they do during the rest of the West Coast playoff games.

That was big. The Devils D and Marty were very, very good last night. I won't be a bit surprised to see a game 6 back in LA. Game 5 will bring some violence and action into the series which I think suits the Devils a little more. I don't think they can win the series but I do see it going back to LA.

The Devils deserve a lot of credit for that win last night. They could have folded the tents after the Kings scored their first goal on the power play, after a ridiculous call on Clarkson. I thought they were done. But Marty outplayed Quick last night. Obviously they are still up against it big time. I think the series ends in game 5, hard not to like a team that has been perfect on the road for the entire post season.

You know the Rock and the Meadowlands isn't exactly across the street?
Good chance I'll end up at the Big M, zero percent chance that I end up in Newark.

I always wanted to see Richards, Carter and Gagne hoist the cup. It was supposed to be in orange though.

If they had a goaltender half as good as Quick, your dream would have probably come true.

[slotdirt]

There was a Simon Gagne sighting? Who knew?

I still think it's mildly humorous that the Kings basically traded Jack Johnson for Mike Richards and Jeff Carter.

ETA - well, not exactly.

Bumping after another big win by the Devils Saturday night. If they bring the pain again tonight and keep making the Kings pay for every decision they make they just might pull this off tonight. That said, I am thinking 2-1 Kings in double OT.
