Devils-Hurricanes: What a Finish

Tagged as: Devils Playoffs, NHL, Stanley Cup Playoffs, New Jersey Devils, New Jersey Devils Analysis, Carolina Hurricanes

They were one minute and 20 seconds from a date with Alexander Ovechkin. With the exception of Miami University of Ohio's collapse vs. Boston University in the NCAA Championship game, I have never seen a finish to a hockey game quite like this. In what might have been the most dramatic first-round series in Stanley Cup Playoff history, the Devils have endured the most crushing defeat since the franchise's move from Colorado.

Devils: Can Jamie Langenbrunner's Return Make a Difference?

Tagged as: New Jersey Devils Analysis, New Jersey Devils, NHL, Carolina Hurricanes, Stanley Cup Playoffs, Devils Playoffs

Just before the Devils emplaned for Raleigh and their Sunday night test against the Hurricanes, I asked someone closely linked to the New Jersey sextet whether he thought captain Jamie Langenbrunner would be available for Game Six of the series. "No way," was the man's reply. "Jamie needs a few days just to get back in shape. That'll take him at least into Monday or Tuesday." Well, it all made sense.
