Game 4 - Second Period Thoughts

The Rangers are playing good hockey but I am getting really sick and tired of these refs. The fact that the Devils didn't get too many men on the ice, called for tripping on Gomez and Sjostrom got called for goaltender interference is absolutely ludicrous. Thankfully those calls didn't really affect this game because if they did I would be a whole lot more upset. These calls have become truly out of control. Now let me get to Marty.

If anyone has ever wondered why Rangers fans hate Marty Brodeur, just watch that period. He is an absolute pansy and a whole lot more words that I can't use. He dove twice and thankfully they called him on it once. When Jagr drove the net Uncle Daddy dove, and even tried to sell it by taking his mask off. Everyone in the arena and on the ice knew he was fine. He should've been called for a penalty again because that was an obvious dive to get a whistle. I absolutely can not stand Marty and that period just made me hate him more. I wish I could jump on the ice and just hit him. The only way to get back at him now is to score goals and I hope we score 10 and rub it in his face.

Now for the actual game itself. The Devils first goal was a lucky bounce and Henrik let up a softie for the second goal. Luckily this Rangers offense is playing their best hockey of the year at the perfect time. Tonight's goals have been absolutely beautiful goals. I have no idea how Drury got a stick on the puck for his deflection but that was spectacular. Straka's goal was also a great goal off a great pass and a well placed shot. The Rangers need to continue to go at the net and play like they are right now on offense. They need to keep the D sharp and Henrik just needs to be Henrik. The Rangers have done a great job of getting themselves back in the lead after a Devils goal. They have the momentum and the crowd behind them and they need to end this game quick with an early third period goal. One thing they can't do in the third is take any form of penalties. The Devils have capitalized once on a powerplay and this game could be tied with one dumb penalty in the third period.

I hate Marty "Uncle Daddy" Brodeur!!
