This thing with bashing New York's #16 Sean Avery is starting to get old really quick, now you have the New Jersey Devil broadcasters dropping hints of a player who is the biggest jerk around.
Come on just say the name we all know who your talking about and it shows a lot on your part to let your personal feelings interfere with your job.
Funny how with a little over a minute left in the first period Sean was slashed in the back of the leg, not only was there no call but the commentary didn't bother to mention a word about it.
I'm sorry S. Avery bashed the big bad hero Devils #30 Martin Brodeur I'm sure it wasn't the first time someone said something negative about a man who has no family values whatsoever.
What does it also say about a team in 1st place, who is worried about a player who has had 7 points in his last 20 games?
What the NHL is really doing is taking away from the magnitude of every game between these two rivals, and it is starting to bring Hockey down in the city of New York.
You talk to many New Yorkers and they would rather talk about the New York Knicks who would be lucky to win a title within the next 100 years.
You know the more and more I watch the Devils Vs the Rangers I get excited by every minute between the two teams.
They both seem to really feed off of each other and bring out some of the most entertaining games to watch.
Anyway down to the action it was a very exciting first period New York's goalie #30 Henrik Lundqvist at times looked very shaky as he allowed 2 goals on 8 shots.
This is what bugs me when Henrik is having a night like tonight you have to step up your offensive game in a big way, if you don't then you will be watching New Jersey celebrate at the end of the game.
The Rangers are going into the 2nd period down 2-1 as #20 Vinny Prospal scored his 15th goal of the season on a beautiful pass by #10 Marian Gaborik on a play that was set up by #12 Olli Jokinen.
Toward the end of the period the intensity really picked up as we were all greeted with a toe to tow heavyweight bout between the Devils #22 Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond and the Rangers #45 Jody Shelley.
To be honest I never heard a lot about J. Shelley but I like the way he went about his business, it could really be a boost to the teams attitude throughout the game.
Well from the start of the 2nd period Rangers H. Lundqvist got even worse as he was yanked in the middle of the period after giving up 5 goals on 17 shots.
This is not the Henrik we are all used to we know that everyone has bad days so lets hope it he can bounce back next game.
I'm no Hockey expert but anyone with a brain could tell that he did not have his best game with him tonight.
The Rangers went on to lose 6 to 3 in a real disappointing loss because most of their players came ready to play.
Well New York will try their luck again on Friday night as they will travel to Atlanta to take on the Thrashers at 7:30 pm eastern time.
