See! It made me so upset that I can’t spell OR remember the correct name!
slinks off Dammit… 
Well, well, well. New Jersey showed up tonight and the Finals are on! I still have faith in the Avs, but I also appreciate the Devils spotting Colorado the first game, it looks like we may need it.
I hope the refs will watch the high-sticking a little better next time, Messier and that no-teeth guy should have gotten something for bleeding all over the ice.
Oh say can you see by the Devils’ last game,
That the Avs ain’t as great as the Devils are lame. . .
Who’s broad goals can we see by the blood of Kenny D
That two new guys can show, Roy can be had by New Jersey.
And two goal lights red flares! My own beer in the air!
Gave proof through the game, that the Devils are still there.
Oh say does that Stanley Cup ever dooooo waaaaave
In the land of New Jersey, and the home of da brave!

It’s sacrilege, but I gotta root for mah boyz!
Cripes. . .
Had I known mah boyz were going to be a conversation stopper, I would have partied here with my bottles of vodka and beer!
Tripler
GO DEVILS!
Funny, but I seem to be rooting for the Avs. This can only bode well for the Devils. I have a soft spot in my heart for Roy I guess.
Damn!
Whowouldathunkit?
The Avs beat the Devils in Jersey. I know that some people won’t want to hear this but the winning goal was scored by none other than Ray Roy… er… Patrick Bourque… I mean Ray Bourque.
Tonights game was a fine example of how each team plays two completely different games, and whomever gets their game to work, wins.
Avs – wide open game, lots of speed
Devils – the trap, the ever so ugly trap
Game 2, trap works, Avs loose
Game 3, trap does not work, Avs win…
Isn’t this over yet?
I mean, who cares? The Pens aren’t in the finals.
<grumble, grumble> OK, so I’m STILL disappointed. Sue me.
Shaddup.
I really admire Arnott for trying to eat pucks like that…
Quick Fact: Last team to come back from being behind 2 to 1… The 1991 Pens. Gotta love it.
wow, just when you thought NJ couldnt get a break…so anyone have tickets for game seven, looks like your going to get to use them at this rate.
I guess the most memorable moment in last nights game was Roys blunder 8 minutes into the third period. I’m sure nearly every Avs fan out there said “FUCK!” at exactly the same moment, that moment being when Gomez tapped the puck into the Avs net.
All things being said, Roy was still the only thing that kept the Devils from making it a 6 - 2 game, the Avs only managed 12 shots on goal through the entire game while Roy stopped 32 shots.
Whoever wins the Grail this year is really going to deserve it.
Roy giveth, and Roy taketh away.
PRAYER TO THE HOCKEY GODS:
*Devils or Avs,
either is fine.
But please, oh please,
give us overtime.
Colorado or Jersey,
neither is lame.
But grant us the boon
of a seventh game.*
Man, finally got to watch a game!
Let me just say that I pity those that live in California. Drove from the LA area all the way up past Bakersfield during game 3, and not 1 single radio station carried the game. Not one!
There were 5 or 6 sports stations, and every single one of them were taking phone calls and having in depth discussions about the Supreme Courts verdict regarding the PGA. Versus a live Finals game? What’s wrong with those people?
Can’t complain too much though, Devils got spanked in that one. At least the game I got to watch I got to cheer and hoot and holler to
Will be somewhere between WA and OH for game 5 tomorrow, wish me luck finding the game on the radio.
GO DEVILS!
Close but no cigar. Go Devils!
Should the Devils trade for Miroslav Satan?
It’s going to be a tough road for my Avs to pull off this series, especially after tonight. I haven’t lost faith, but the Avs had better pick it up if they’re going to do it.
The announcers dangling Forsberg in front of us was pretty cruel, I thought.
There’s no way Forsberg will play even though the guy would probably lace em up if they let him.
The Devils must lose tonight. They just have to. Game 7 in Colorado sounds really good to me.
Pleaseohpleaseoohplease don’t let those unrepentant spawn of Satan win another Cup.
Is that so much to ask?
Wow, looks like the Avs didn’t need Forsberg. Colorado’s back, for now at least.
I have to admit that I’m a little dissapointed in this series. I may be wrong, but it seems like we haven’t seen both teams play at their best in the same game. One game, the Avs come out playing their best and the Devils seem to be off-kilter, and in the next game it’s reversed.
For example, in this game Roy was on fire, but Brodeur (who is an excellent goalie) missed several saves that he should have been able to make.
I just hope that for the next game both teams come in and play at the top of their ability. May the best team win! (and may that team be the Avalanche)
Avs in 7…but then again, the home team seems to have a hard time winning.
I will not rub anything in, nor make predictions, but I will say one thing:
This has been one hell of a playoff season!

Y’all know who I’m rootin’ for!
