Game 4 - News

So far home ice hasn't been too friendly to either team. We have to hope that changes tonight or else this turns into a best of 3 series. Tonight’s game is monumental to say the least. We could almost put the series away or like I said, turn it into a best of 3 series. The Devils got lucky last game and got some favorable calls and some lucky bounces and there is nothing the Rangers could have done about that. They have had 2 days off to rest and get ready for Game 4.

One big thing that has to be changed tonight is the sloppy play and the mistakes, especially in the Rangers defensive zone. Mistakes in our own defensive zone cost us 2 goals last game and sloppy play really didn't help our offensive or defensive play. You could say it was because they were playing at home for the first time in the playoffs or because they were frustrated from the bad calls called against them. Regardless of why it happened, it has to stop. The Rangers are a far better team than the Devils and Marty is not playing as he usually does and we have to take advantage of that. The Rangers have to play sound hockey, watch the dumb penalties and play their game. They also have to just throw pucks at the net because Marty has been giving up some bad rebounds and the Rangers could get a garbage goal from those. If this happens tonight, and the refs call an even game, the Rangers should be up 3 games to 1.
