commentary...

last night's game between the New York Rangers,and the New Jersey Devils was the typical game between the two Atlantic Division rivals... simply said,tough as nails... both teams play six games a year,between the two teams,and they do not like each other... they remind me of the Chicago Blackhawks,and the Detroit Red Wings,except for the real bad blood between the teams,but do not tell a Devils' fan,or a Rangers' fan that they do not want to win,because the fire between the teams is just under the surface,and being only miles apart(over the George Washington Bridge,and in Newark),they do have a severe dislike for each other... the goaltending wars between Martin Brodeur,and Henrik Lundquist,are normally very good,and both teams have potent offenses,so it may go down to game seven...
