Rangers/Devils, Rangers won 3-0

Series: 1-0 New York

Kreid or die: NHL.com has been having a lot of fun with Chris Kreider’s name, so I figure I’ll pile on from here out. The rookie scored the Rangers second goal and assisted on the first, leaving the puck for Dan Girardi who was coming off the bench and got to skate into the slapper All-Star Skills Competition style. Kreider and teammate Michael Del Zotto were both three years old the last time New York and New Jersey met in the playoffs.

Kings/Coyotes, Kings won 4-2

Series: 1-0 LA

Captain America: Dustin Brown (of the Dustin Brown deadline day trade rumours) is willing this Kings team to the Cup Final – yesterday his stat line was downright purdy: a goal, an assist, plus two, seven shots, six hits, a block and two PIMS, all in under 20 minutes of ice. As @JustinDOY tweeted to @TheRoyalHalf:

Rangers/Capitals, Washington wins 2-1

Series: tied 3-3

Going the distance: Game 7, hurray! Fun fact, from @randynumbers: there has never been an NHL Game 7 on a Saturday night in New York City. Ever.

Should be a very wealthy good crowd – @KuklasKorner tweeted that lower bowl tickets are starting at $444 apiece. Good lord.

Noteworthy, May 9th, 2012: The Devils beat the Flyers in five, move to Conference Finals

Flyers/Devils, Devils won 3-1

Series: It’s ovah. Devils won series 4-1

Been awhile: The Devils moved past the Philadelphia Flyers, who could never get their give-a-damn meters back to where they were in round one against the Penguins. This is the first time New Jersey has been back to the Conference Final since 2003. I’m pretty sure I picked them to finish 12th in the East in pre-season, so feel free to go read blogs by someone who has a clue what they’re talking about. Although…

Noteworthy, May 8th, 2012: Coyotes are predators, Rangers pull off late comeback

Rangers/Capitals, Rangers win 3-2 in OT

Series: Rangers lead 3-2

Oh so close: The Capitals led 2-1 late in the third period when Joel Ward accidentally offered his stick to Carl Hagelin for a snack after a faceoff. There was a small amount of blood, but that’s all she takes in hockey. That double minor gave the Rangers a four minute powerplay, and the game took a sharp turn. Brad Richards scored a goal thanks to some blind puck-jamming with 0:06.6 on the clock to push the game to OT, where Marc Staal scored on the other half of the double minor to win it for the Rags.

Flyers/Devils, Devils won 4-2

Series: 3-1 New Jersey

Still doin’ in: Martin Brodeur turned 40 yesterday, which officially made him the first goaltender in NHL history to play in the Stanley Cup Playoffs as a teenager and a 40 year old. I’m guessing he got exactly what he wanted: the win, an assist, and likely a post-game cheeseburger. Read the rest of this entry »

Noteworthy: May 4th, 2012 – Devils pull ahead of the Flyers, Kings thinking sweep

Flyers/Devils, Devils won 4-3 in OT

Series: 2-1 Devils

Difference-maker: Ilya Kovalchuk played through a herniated disc (those passionate Russians) and pushed the Devils to a win with this line: one goal, two assists, plus two, two shots, a hit and a takeaway in over 22 minutes of ice (low minutes for him in an OT game). I don’t know what magic they put in his back to get him into game condition, but goddamn did he look good.
