Good stuff Jan, the hatred is building, all this talk by Torts could just be another one of the measured ways in which he motivates, for a one seed we seem to be playing the "us against the world" thing a lot...if I were Tortorella, I would compile a video montage of all the hits and incidents that have resulted in nothing compared to the two that have resulted in the combined 5 games and just go to town tonight...how about the Rangers starting the game with a surge, the Devils blogger wrote as a key for the Rangers to weather the storm, how about the Devils weathering a Ranger storm in the wake of all of this non-sense....Get it Done!!!!!! Lets Go Rangers!!!

I normally don't start in with people but one guy said on the way out "You guys are only around when the Rangers are winning" what?! lol.... too which I responded your 24th in attendance this season behind the Panthers.

Glad to help Jan, I thought I was being my "whiny" self when I was complaining about all the obstruction the Devils get away with but I'm glad It wasn't just me, it's one thing to block shots and play defensive hockey, it's within the legality and structure of the game, the Devils have just found a way to break rules in a subtle way.

Prust admitted to getting his elbow up? In the interview I saw he said that he was just putting his arms up to avoid contact with the glass...

Doesn't matter, he's out for a gm & that's that. Stu Bickel will get 3 shifts tonight, the most time he'll see is if the score is somehow out of hand late & his muscle is needed.

This is the type of game that a Stu Bickel or Mike Rupp can slip a goal in on some broken play. Make the most of the time your one the ice.

If you aint cheatin', you aint tryin'

I laughed pretty hard when I saw the pick after a few times of watching the goal. Very clever.

It's a team's job to try and press an advantage when given a chance. Devils did and got Kovy open twice... Good for them

It's Tort's job like Jan said to call them out and turn the advantage.

Deboer started the whining. he should take a lesson from Torts and not respond about players from other teams. Worry about your own, Glass houses and stones come to mind.

Are you kidding me? It is always Torts who starts it. PDB called Prust for head-hunting which he was justified. Torts just whines.

He should have taken the high road on it. Prust is not a head hunter. Also look in your own backyard. BTW Torts hasn't said anything about any of the Debbies until Deboer opened the door.

Ah I see it's justified when your coach does, how is it different? Prust isn't a head hunter, if he was Volchenkov would have been on stretcher.

Only time Deboer has been talking any kind of trash has been in response to torts. The hit was intentional. Not saying Prust is a dirty player but on that particular play he was head hunting. That is why he is suspended.

Complaining seems to work this season though.

I'll take the complaining with a side of more playoff wins than the other 15 teams in this postseason.

Incorrect. Deboer fired the first shot with his headhunting comment. Torts fires back with headhunting examples of his own. Get it right. Ask your boy, Zippy, about the timeline...He knows everything.

Was Zubrus head hunting on that elbow to Stralman's head? Just curious.

It goes both ways. DeBoer def griped about the officiating more than once in this series, that's "whining" technically. And that's fine, all about nothing with the Coaches bickering, funny actually.
