The Battle for Bragging Rights

And here we go....Devils Rangers...Round 1 Game 1...I gotta be honest I dont know where to stand on this series...The Devils have not been playing good hockey for about a month, they have not won in regulation since March 15th, and they are giving up leads like they are going out of style...but if there is one series to fire them up and change their ways of late this is it...we all know what the Rangers did to the Devils in the regular season but outside of 3 games...they were all close and could have gone either way...For the Devils to win this Series they need Gionta, Madden and Pandolfo to be the x factors...if Gionta doesnt find that scoring grit that netted him 50+ goals a few seasons ago then the Devils are a one line team that will be shutdown...Keep on an eye on the Zubrus, Rupp, and Clarkson line..they remind me of the old Crash Line from 95 ...I was not to happy to hear that Vitaly Vishnevsky will be sitting in favor of Salavador...Andy Greene has been horrendous in the last month and I thought for sure he would be the odd man out.. maybe Sutter knows something we dont....I hope.
