I was half hoping they would raise their sticks at center ice to recognize the “home-team” fans. The “Scott-ty Go-Mez” chant reverbed through the stairwells on the way out, and my brother overheard a father walking his little boy out of the building. “Hear that son? The cheering for Gomez? I hope Lamirillo does too – he deserves it for letting him go. What a disgrace.” That chant, along with “MAAAARTY”, “HEN-REEK”, and “Re-sign AVERY!” made that train ride to that state totally worthwhile. I’d be embarrassed if I skated for that team and the opponents fans drowned out the locals.

Go Blue. Oh, and stop overusing the 4th line.

Really exciting win, especially because they didn’t come close to playing their best game and still the series off to a good and hopeful start. Given that, one doesn’t want to nitpick too much. But just a few quickies about the D and then I’m going to bed.
——-Roszival wimped out pitifully on the sequence that led to Asham hitting the post. He should be very thankful that play will go generally unnoticed. If Asham scores there, it’s a 2-1 game late in the second, and that is not a good spot to be in on the road in the playoffs.
——-Girardi’s carelessness is going to hurt this team at some point painfully and for no obvious cause. I only hope the score is lopsided in the NYR’s favor at the time.
——-Staal had a couple scary moments but overall he was great, given his inexperience.
——-Tyutin had the horrendous giveaway that Brylin almost cashed in, but he made some plays as well. I cannot figure this guy out.
——-Maybe I missed something, but Backman and Mara did nothing I saw that made me pull my hair out
——-Malik wasn’t dressed. Priceless.

I don’t suppose the Rangers who were named as stars came back out onto the ice, did they?

Yeah Martin was the 3rd star. As I said before, there were plenty of Rangers fans at the game. Awesome atmosphere as a road fan, but the Garden is 10 billion times better. I mean they had to tell the fans to wave the towels because they didn’t know when to. haha.

So much for that. “The video you are trying to watch is only available in Canada.”

I really wish I could have come over from college in Pennsylvania to the game tonight, but didn’t have the time. I’m sure a great time was had by all! Maybe I could make it to a potential game five next Friday night, which I think will be the clincher!

It’s great to hear from the fans who were at the game! In my opinion, if we were at home, the three stars would have been Gomez, Lundqvist, Callahan. I thought I heard the announcer say Martin for the third star, which would make a lot more sense than Madden, but Madden is the one in the online box scores.

Wild-Avalanche game going into overtime; it’s available online at TSN.ca.

Great Building and a bunch of unworthy fans who all sought the NJT right after we scored the third goal. After that Ranger fans took over the place for good. My hand is sore from high fiving.

Good to see Girardi have a great game-and Gomer was Gomer. The Devls do not have a play maker, which will be their downfall
