September 27th game

sorry it took so long! I got grounded and was unable to go on the computer, so here's thoughts i actually texted to myself.

1:22 PM:
5 minute interference is b.s.
2-0 and its not even 4 minutes in

1:25
Niiice kill :)
zherdev brought the puck up a few times
he and dubi look good as a pair going into the offensive zone

2:09
3-0
no coverage in front.
zherdev was in the box for hooking.
the czechs have come back to haunt us, elias with 2 already.

1st period over.
shot's even at 8 a piece, Devils leading 2-0, because of sloppy defense from Mara (g1) and Roszival (g2).
still very impressed with Zherdev.
Towards the end of the period, Gomer brought the rush through the zone and fed a nice pass to Nazzy, who had a sold shot which just went high. Hopefully we can rebound.

2:17
1st goal that wasn't the defenseman's fault. (*when watching "Rangers in 60" it appeared to be bad coverage by Redden.) goalies replaced, clemenson for NJ, valiquette for us.

2:22
shots:
nj:14
ny:10
power play; clarkson off for 2 for boarding. not 5 eh?

2:27
GOAAALLLLLLLLLLL!
Nazzy!
assisted by gomer and staalsy :)

2:30
CHEAP penalty!
bull shitttt.
where's the three blind mice song?
he called that from 700 feet away!

3:00
staal blocked a shot with his wrist.
hunched over on the bench, sitting next to lundqvist
praying its not a smashed wrist.

3:05
power play will not shoot!
as many of you may or may not have heard me scream "Jagr's gone, we can shoot the puck now!"
rismiller had a nice hit...

2nd period review: much more of a defensive period.
Valiquette made some nice saves.
Nazzy with a goal to put us on the board.

3:18
NICKYYYYY!
shorthanded goal assisted by dubi
and i screamed "shoot it nicky!" just before he launched a rocket :)
2-4.

3:33
rangers 2 devils 4
shots:
rangers 24
devils 23

final thoughts:
too many missed shots and opportunites, too many shots not taken, too many mistakes.
liked the offensive spurts by Zherdev and Dubi. boys leave for Europe; will not play until Tuesday.
Lundy was pulled after giving up four in one-and-a-half periods.
really fond of Zherdev, he's looked exceptionally good.
hopefully we can beat SC Bern and Metallurg Magnitogorsk.

Closing thoughts:
Glad I have the two days off.
Still trying to convince dad to have us go to Astoria to the bier gardens to see the game.
We'll see.

Let's Go Rangers!
