Game 1 - Second Period Thoughts

That was another hell of a period. Both teams are continuing their high energy play and both goalies are on display. Henrik made some great saves to keep this game tied. I thought the Devils had at least 2 or 3 goals that Henrik just absolutely brilliant in making the tough saves. Marty has been pretty good too, he is letting up a lot of rebounds though and one weird bounce in front of the net and the Rangers could get another goal. Just some great play all around by both teams.

I dont know who this powerplay is but it is actually playing great. They are firing pucks like crazy and one of those is going to go in if we get another chance. We have to keep firing pucks and playing like we are on the powerplay.

As for the goal given up, what are you gonna do. The Rangers did a great job keeping it away from the net with their blocks and the Devils just kept on firing. If you asked Henrik he would most likely say he could've stopped that but there was not much more the Rangers defense, which has been very good, could really do. The Rangers have to keep up the great defensive play and just look for a rebound off Marty because he has let up plenty of them so far. This is one hell of a game and its only the Game 1. Love the playoffs man.
