PrintFinally, MartinBrodeurhissyfitgate will be in the rear view mirror tonight when the Devils host the Hurricanes for Game 5 of the teams' Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series, which is knotted up at two games apiece.
Carolina got a much-needed win on Jussi Jokinen's last-tenths-of-a-second goal in Game 4, breathing life into the Canes when it seemed they were in danger of facing a 3-1 series deficit.
For the Devils, it's been much ado about bumpin', as all the talk has been around Brodeur's antics following Jokinen's game winner. Somewhat pushed into the background has been the status of captain Jamie Langenbrunner — who missed Games 3 and 4 with a lower body injury — and defenseman Bryce Salvador. Salvador left Game 4 after Chad LaRose accidentally rolled over his knee during a crease-front scramble. It appears both will be out, but player status is a big part of the theatrics of playoff hockey.
Finally, a big-time award for a Hurricanes prospect in the CHL.

I laughed when I read the CBC article regarding “give the goaltenders their own little planet if they agree to stay there….”
I’ve always believed that if a goaltender leaves the crease he should be fair game. It’s not against the rules to run over our best forward if he is behind the net…. why should your goaltender be any different????

Hey Jersey...
While you’re busy whining about the last goal and crowing about your comeback, don’t forget that we DOMINATED you for two periods. We also have plenty of positives to build on after game 4, even besides the fact that we won.
Still not a crook!
Personally I am most encouraged about the fact that the Canes have not backed down from their physical game at all, even with the refs seemingly trying to take it away from them at times. (regardless of what Devils fans think, this series has not been overly kind to us in the officiating department). They are still laying into big hits when they get a chance.
You’d think that NJ would learn that Tuomo Ruutu is Finnish for “Keep your head up.”
