Redemption!

Staal get the game winner two games in a row with much better results last night. It's been quite a ride for the rookies in their first shot at the playoffs. Dubinsky leads all rookies on the playoffs with 4 points (2G 2A). Callahan has more shots (13) than any other rookie and is second only to Jagr on the Rangers thanks to his relentless drive to the net. And that's how you beat Marty drive to the net and get in his face. On the flip side the D needs to do a better job of keeping Lundqvist's crease clear. That last Devil goal is still bugging me. Henrik lost his stick, and there was no one in blue near enough to help him out he had two white shirts in his crease. That can't happen if we want to be going to games in shorts in June.

We had a great time upstairs last night, there's nothing like the blue seats in the spring. There were a couple of faces notably absent, where the hell was Mikey?! Julian has mastered the art of swinging a rally towel. I joined the guys up on the rail for the third period to avoid the jackass sitting behind me's racist ranting (who let that guy in?). The move worked out for the better I had a great time hanging with Jerry and Al, just like old times, and Al 405 and the luck was changed. I may have to spend more time up there next round.

Who's making the trip out to Newark Friday night? I hear Jon's going? Anybody else? I'm thinking of hitting the viewing party at the Ziegfeld. Anybody want to join?
