This game could honestly go all night and I would be happy.
Pretty crazy that 2 of the closest series are sitting at 3-0 right now.
Another series I was wrong about. I honestly thought the Ducks would of choked this one. Definitely wasn't expecting a 3-0 lead.
I picked Winnipeg in 7. Think it might be a clean sweep though, 5 at most at this point.
Ottawa and Winnipeg have been really bad at holding leads. Only one goal leads, but still not good enough in the playoffs.
Ya that is nuts. Jets and Senators definitely have played way better then the series records show.
What I was expecting. Ducks have surprised me, but I still am not buying in on them.
Most of us who live in the NJ/NY area and have attended Devils vs NYi games through the years at the Meadowlands, The Rock or the NVMC, have noticed a difference in the typical NYi fan this year.
A lot of chest pounding bravado, tough guy syndrome and yes the most overused word to describe a group of fans: classless behavior.
All the things that we have been accustomed to with Rags fans over the years and what separated them with NYi fans.
Most of the older & long time NYi fans themselves will tell you that both our fanbases are different than the Rags fanbase.
A lot of us would agree with that statement overall.
We even personally know NYI fans that are good people and great hockey fans.
But, a touch of winning has generated a whole new group of thugs that will taint their overall fanbase if the older/long time fans don't do their best to squash this movement.
It's truly a shame that in their last season at the NVMC and on the run they are on, that opposing fans had to deal with this nonsense/crap at Game-3.
If it continues it will cheapen their run and at the end of day they don't want to hear it but, blur the lines between the NYi & Rags fanbase.

This crap happens at The Rock too. Our fans are no better.
It shouldn't happen anywhere. Like it or not, but it goes back to YOU SUCK. They are directly correlated. It breeds a really ****** atmosphere where everything and everyone sucks. I see this crap, at least the homophobic stuff, go on EVERY SINGLE GAME at Pru Center. Especially when the Flyers are in town and the FLYERS SWALLOW chant. It's the same thing.
No way, bad comparison and I had a feeling that someone would jump to throw our fans under the bus right away.
I've been going to Devils home games since the early 80s and Devils @ NYi games since the late 90s.
This year a whole new crop of NYi fans has popped out of nowhere.
It prob started with the inferiority complex "loudville" section in the last season or two, but their younger fans have been noticeably different this season and I'm not one bit surprised that Caps fans were threatened and suffered property damage.
I'll bet my NYi friend who has a partial plan in the 300 level is not happy about this.
I already texted him and will post his feedback later.
**Oh, and I agree with you that there is too much "Suck" at Devils games and the FS chant needs to be squashed out asap.
But that is different than the tough guy antics
how the hell do you have leads going into the third in three games and lose them all? and wtf are the blues doing, they look like they're playing preseason hockey. did they even have a high-quality scoring chance last night?
