Ahhh.....hell yeah. Last time we left, the Rangers/Caps had yet to be decided, but here we are. Tied 1-1 heading back home to Newark. I'm so happy we stole one at MSG, as that is always a boost to the home team and crowd. Going back home 2-0 would have been a little deflating, to say the least. After getting shut out in the first game, the fear of "King Henrik" and the "amazing"' shot-blocking talents of the Blueskirts blue line was starting to play into my psyche. Kovy's goal in game 2 was just what the doctor ordered.
Now about 30 minutes from game time, I'll be planted in my living room hoping for the best. I really hope there is a sea of red to support the home team. The Ranger invasion is fierce during the regular season, as these arenas sit a stone's throw away from each other and linked by the PATH train. But I'm hoping for a different story here in the playoffs. More buzz about the Devils this year, season ticket holders gobbling up playoff tickets, and most of the tickets should have been sold long before the Rangers' fans even knew of their fate. Still, you know they will infiltrate like a blue disease and they will be loud. We must give them NOTHING to cheer about.
Shoot, shoot, and shoot some more......and let's go Devils!!
JERSEY'S TEAM!!
PS-- I saw some clown in his orange Jagr jersey this morning. Okay....number one, if your team is out of the playoffs, why would you wear a long-sleeved hockey jersey on an 80 degree day?!?!
