Came out late for the 2nd after taking a helmet to the side of the mouth late in the 1st. Took a slashing call while on the PK which gave the Devils a long 5-on-3, but it was a touchy call since the slash was on a stick. Sticks break way too easily these days and that rule should be changed. Big play, carried the puck behind the net and passed out front to Barnaby for the crucial game tying goal.

Forget making heads or tails of this game. It was almost surreal. Both teams played pretty well, but I don't think ANY of the six goals were scored off momentum, they just... happened. When you didn't expect it, the Devils score. You're not expecting it again, Rangers score. And so on four more times. Overall the Rangers played well, and granted they were playing a much better team and goaltender tonight than on Tuesday night, but the effort overall wasn't quite as unrelenting. Not as disciplined, either. Add to this, some of the heroes of the game like Wiseman and Barnaby were having pretty poor games up until their goals. Again, I have no definitive statement to make. Sometimes they played very well, sometimes it was more so-so. Not a single player had a great game, yet none were awful, either. Whatever. Another huge one, Saturday in Montreal is next.
