memories of 1994???-commentary....

in 1994,(i believe the last time the New Jersey Devils played the New York Rangers,in the Eastern Conference Finals),both teams went seven games,in a memorable series,that Rangers' captain Mark Messier guaranteed a game six win,stating that,"WE WILL WIN",on the back pages of the New York dailies... the Rangers won game six,with a Messier hat trick,and then won game seven,in overtime...
the Rangers do wish that it was 1994,because even though this team is very good defensively,with Henrik Lundquist,in goal,but can they outplay the Devils,and score enough goals,to put the Devils on edge,for game seven,in New York??? to tell you the truth,the Rangers have been offensively-challenged,all season,and in this series... their two wins have been 3-0 shutouts,and then they have played like dirt the other three games...
they basically outplayed the Devils,in game five,but both goaltenders played like sieves,letting in goals,that pee-wee hockey players could have shot past Martin Brodeur(Devils' goaltender),and Lundquist... the Devils scored three goals,in 7:06,of playing time,in the first period,to stake themselves,to a 3-0 lead,then the Rangers scored late in the first period,to make game,after one period,3-1,Devils,then New Jersey gave up two goals(at :32 seconds,of second period,and at :17 seconds,of the third period),to tie game,at three apiece,basically with a period to go in the game... the Rangers then put pressure on Brodeur,throughout the rest of the game,but New Jersey capitalized on a bad Rangers' giveaway,as the Devils scored on a basic tap-in goal,with 4:24 left,in game,and then Brodeur slammed door on the Rangers,by making three very good saves,before an empty-net goal,by the Devils,in last minute,of game...i did not mention any names(except for the goaltenders),because it was a very bad game,for both teams,period... a typical Devils-Rangers game...
