When we last met here on The Rangers Recap, our boys in blue were getting ready to meet the Devils in the Eastern Conference Quaterfinals. Since then, they've made In-Law Lover Brodeur and the Devils offense their bitch, with 4-1 and 2-1 wins in "The Rock."
I don't know what my favorite part of Games 1 and 2 was. Was it Callahan's game-winning short-handed goal off of a pitiful mistake by Brodeur? Was it Sean Avery's insurance goal in Game 1? Was it Sean Avery's game-winning goal in Game 2? Was it Scott Gomez's 3-assist performance amidst boos from his former fans in Game 1? Was it hearing fans in Jersey chant "MAAAAAARRRRRRRTYYYY MAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRTYYYY"? Was it Scott Gomez getting into it with Jamie Langenbrunner, giving him a kissing motion, mocking him, and apparently telling him "Keep drinking your Kool-Aid?" It all adds up to a great start to the series.
But, the Blueshirts still need two more wins to lock up this series. Lucky for us, they're back in the Garden for Games 3 and 4. Getting 2 out of 2 at home would be awesome, but I don't expect the Devils to go down so easily. They're a pretty good club, no matter how many times we've beaten them. I'll actually get to see the whole game tomorrow...I'm pumped.
By the way, I hope you've been watching the other series as well. There's been some really exciting games. It's sure to be another awesome spring.
Let's Go Rangers!
