Ryder snipes one.
3-1.
Emelin couldn't get it past him at the Devils' blue line.
I wonder if the real Emelin will ever return.

Nice little story about the 1971 Memorial Cup matchups during the intermission.
Marcel Dionne's St. Catherine BlackHawks faced Guy LaFleur's Quebec Remparts. Dionne left the Q to plat in the OHL. With the series at 3 games to 2, the Black Hawks players voted to forfeit the series amid death threats from the FLQ. What they did not mention was that tempers were high in Quebec because the Black Hawks were constantly trying to intimidate the smaller Remparts. Also, St Catherine's offered to play the remaining games in Montreal (game 5 was In a neutral site - Toronto) but Quebec declined.
Then Quebec refused to play the Oil Kings in the WHL over travel subsidies ... The series ended up a best of three instead of a best of seven cause it took them so long to work out their issues.

Emelin gives the puck up at the blueline ... Price gets the shooter on the 2-on-1 and Ryder buries it ... 3-1 ...
Cheers.

Devils coming on a bit harder here....we'd better be ready. They have some snipers...

Stop giving the Devils our blue line!
They're carrying it in and having their way with us right now. Trouble clearing the zone.

When the guys stand around, the Devils lack of foot speed really isn't an issue. Go figure.

Zidlicky takes a high-sticking call after scraping Weise's helmet off.
Nice way to relieve some of the Devils' momentum.
Sure would be nice to put it to bed here.

Put Eller's line on once they get back down the ice ... why not ...

Empty, but killed two minutes off the clock, I suppose.
Devils will come hard now. We have to keep the intensity up.

Not a bad PP from the Plekanec line ... good possession in the Devil end ... Eller on with Bournival and Sekac now ...
Cheers.

Cammy gets his own rebound and makes it 3-2....Emelin can't take care of Jagr ragging the puck along the boards.
The dreaded 3-0 lead.

I'm not ruling out a Devils' PP in the final 5:00.

Galchy off for high-sticking.

Zidlicky sold that ... The stick didn't hit him in the head, but he snapped his head down

I guess Pleks didn't know Max was coming in with him on that shorthanded chance.

Zidlicky sold that ... The stick didn't hit him in the head, but he snapped his head down Yep...and he reached up and grabbed the side of his helmet, too. A Hab would've called for embellishment.

We are the worst finishers with an empty net.
Finally Pleks seals the deal from just over centre.

Thank you Pleks ... 4-2 Habs ... NJ never really had control after they put the extra skater on ...
