Winning a game by crap goals will not help the Devils win the series. Yeah it's a win, but damn, if they can't find a way to defeat the system they used to use themselves, then the Rangers will go on.
I wonder how many Ranger fans are cheering on their team after condemning the Devils system from the 90's, back when they used to use it? How you like them apples now?
I'm a Devils fan, but my hat's off to the Rangers, and especially Henrik. They used to talk about Brodeur the way they mention Henrik now "He had an average night, not a bad night, and the Devils managed to score on him 4 times." Only they didn't really score on him the 4th time. If the Devils need to rely on Henrik having an "average" night, then they haven't figured out how to win yet.
Brent Sutter needs to look at some older film of the Devils from the 90's and play the same conservative game they used to play - let the opposing team rush a lot, break up the play, and let them get tired. Then towards the end of the 2nd and all of the third, scate circles around the opposing defense and score once or twice to win the game. Boring, as some say, but effective.
And WTF is up with Avery? And WTF is up with Parise getting beat up all the time? At least the officiating wasn't as bad as game 2.
