1- I don't know what they listed the attendance at but if there was 12-13,000 there that was A LOT. I understand CAA is 21,5000 capacity or something and filling it is not easy but holy shit. I actually told my buddy that I thought there was only about 9,000 there but he is a blinded Devil worshiper so he said 15,000 so I'll split the difference.

2- Road teams must love coming to play in NJ. The Devils were pretty dominant at home all year, but once the playoffs hit and the teams are evenly matched there is LESS THAN ZERO home ice advantage at CAA. More people were interested in watching a bird fly around atop the arena then the game.

3- Ray Emery is the worst goaltender of all time.

4- Devils analyst Chico Whatever passed us in the concourse area b/tw periods 1 and 2 and the ignorant North Jersey shit for brains "hockey fan" sitting behind me in the arena (and happened to be out there too now) yelled to him that Brodeur sucks (blasphemous in the building, BLASPHEMOUS) and Chico said no one would have stopped those top shelf shots. He actually stopped to talk and said 2 of them were absolutely perfect and the other was 98% perfect, and the first goal by Preissing was a redirect that there's not much you can do anything about. Anyway, I thought it was nice an announcer stopped to chat with the "village idiot".

5- Devils fans need to stop doing the RANGERS SUCK cheer 3 times a period when they aren't fucking playing the god damn Rangers!!!! Do they think Ranger fans hear them? How about they concentrate on the game and team at hand and act like people who know something about hockey?

6- It was on the other side of the ice, but Ang, JML, or FF (maybe one of you can tell me), wasn't that a penalty on Alfreddson for charging right before they scored the first goal? No one even saw the goal because we were in an uproar over the no call.. Just wondering if anyone saw it...S

Nice rant! I must have missed the Alfredsson hit...I don't remember it...so I can't really comment.

What's with the hate for Emery??
