Rangers @ Devils Rivalry Resumes on 3/6/12

The Devils continue their long-lasting rivalry between the Rangers on Tuesday. They were shut-out by Henrik Lundqvist in their last meeting at Madison Square Garden. Looking for revenge, and a few more shots than the 13 they had last meeting, the Devils finally play at the Prudential Center again after a four game road trip. It should be a very physical game as all of the games between these rivals play out to be. Fights are a very common occurrence between these two heated rivals, which comes hand-in-hand with the physical exertion they play with.

The Devils have been streaky as can be after the all-star break. It looked as though they would put on a show in the second half, but that was humbled on the road. The Rangers have, unfortunately for us Devils fans, been atop of the Eastern Conference standings for a rather long time period. The Devils and their fans witnessed with Martin Brodeur in his prime, winning four Vezina Trophies and three Stanley Cups, that a goalie can dictate the fate of the team. When Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist is good, although it gets me sick, he is flat out dominant. Even though he is playing less games this season than ever in a year, he is a major reason of their success. Yes, they have studs skating in front of him, but no team will get anywhere with a miserable goalie. However, with that being said, in no means am I hopeful of their success. GO DEVILS! BEAT THE RANGERS! LONG LIVE THE RED, WHITE, AND BLACK!
