Listening to some of the Doubting Thomases around the New York hockey media and some Rangers fans, you would think that the Blueshirts had a record that now belongs to the Carolina Hurricanes or Toronto Maple Leafs. However, a reality check indicates that the Blueshirts are two over .500 (11-9-1) ...
Every so often it's vital for The Maven to test his Hockey I.Q. I do it on a monthly basis, and the time had come once more on Tuesday night at The Garden. Alas -- I sorrowfully report -- I failed.
Climbing out of a two-goal hole for the second time in nine days is a lot to ask, even for the Devils. Sluggish starts had been the norm for New Jersey despite entering Monday night's game at Philadelphia riding an eight game winning streak, which ended with the Flyers' 3-2 victory (a score not indicative of how Philadelphia controlled the game).
With Music City (alias Nashville) second on the Devils' three-game road trip Thursday night in Tennessee, the first unharmonious note in weeks is wafting through New Jersey's hockey community. The amazing nine straight road wins is now history and the trick for Jacques Lemaire and his skaters is to regroup and find the winning track from which they were derailed on Monday night in Philadelphia.
The best news to hit town as the Rangers emplace the welcome mat for Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals tonight at the Garden has nothing to do with the visiting Washington sextet. What thrills The Maven is a report that Don Baizley, the Winnipeg-based agent for Peter Forsberg, revealed that his client will remain in Europe for the remainder of the season.
The Leafs top Forbes Magazine's list of the NHL's most valuable teams for a fourth consecutive year. Valued at $470 million, an increase of five percent since last year, Toronto is well ahead of the second place Rangers at $416 million.
When we -- and that goes for The Maven -- think about the New Jersey Devils these days, it's impossible not to do a double-take. For starters, what are they doing atop the Eastern Conference?
That soft, soothing sound you may hear emanating from the Rangers clubhouse is the sign of relief. With Alex Ovechkin leading the Washington Capitals into The Garden on Tuesday night, the injury-riddled Blueshirts are enjoying a refreshing pause; THE vital respite.
Stan Fischler's new book, "WHO'S BETTER: RANGERS, DEVILS, ISLANDERS OR FLYERS?" - has just been published.
Believe me, I have hesitated to say this, but I will now, once and for all. Having covered the National Hockey League for more than a half-century, The Maven must declare that after seventeen games, the New Jersey Devils defy credulity.
