Rangers draw first blood from "The Rock"

Scott Gomez’ sore ribs must be feeling quite better after the Rangers beat his old team, the Devils, in Game 1 of their playoff series last night. Gomez notched three assists-the most important on Ryan Callahan’s go-ahead goal as Martin Brodeur couldn’t corral the puck, didn’t see Callahan-and the Rangers had the lead for good.
It’s not the first time a Brodeur boo boo cost the Devils against the Rangers. In the ’94 Eastern Conference Finals, Stephane Matteau beat Brodeur in OT to win Game 3. Many people forget about Game 3, because Matteau and Brodeur collided paths in Game 7. You remember what happened, Rangers fans.

P.S. As I said, Rangers in 6

Well my Devils are in a whole heap of trouble. The rangers have beat the devils at their own game... kudos to them, they arent dominating but doing enough physically, hustling to the loose pucks and getting some timely goals against brodeur...Overall, the Rangers are a better team. They have just enough offense, very good defense and a superb goaltender.. The Rangers have all the tools to make it to the finals. Unfortuately the Devils have a small window for more success.. Brody is getting older and finding another great hall of fame goalie will be nearly impossible. In the next couple of years , the devils will need to rebuild with youth and hopefully in time get back to the championship caliber team they once had..
As for the Rangers, they have something special going on with a solid team.. Ranger fans need to realize its been a long time since a cup.. 14 years and waiting, so any negative and bashing against the devils could be kept at bay.. They have won 3 since your 1.. We still remain the best team in the metropolitan area over the last 14 years.. when the rangers accomplish what the devils have done then they can talk, until then just enjoy the winning for now becsuse we all know a championship for the rangers is still many years away.
