    Devils Advance with Game 7 Shutout

    New York Rangers @ New Jersey Devils

    (NJ wins series 4-3)

    Game Recap:

    Two words…Game Seven! That’s where we’re at tonight’s as the New Jersey Devils host their Hudson River rivals in the New York Rangers in a winner take all game to see who moves onto the next round to face off against the Carolina Hurricanes. It doesn’t get any better than a game seven with everything on the line in a win or go home situation. Both teams were feeling things out trying to see who would make the first mistake but alas, neither team did and it would be a scoreless first period.

    However, the second period is where things started to pick up between the two teams. New Jersey’s speed was a lot to handle for the Rangers as they were pinned in their own zone and New Jersey did a great job using that speed to get out of their own zone to transition into offense effectively. Using that speed paid off as the Devils got a short handed goal thanks to great huddle and effort from Ondrej Palat who took the puck to the net and then teammate Michael McLeod buried the rebound into the back of the net for the first goal of the game. Moments later, Tomas Tatar extended the lead to two as defenseman John Marino’s backhand feed from the goal line gave him the chance to rip it behind Igor Shesterkin to make it 2-0 in favor of the New Jersey Devils. That would be the score heading into an exciting and final finish of this game in the third period.

    And the third period was exciting as the Devils were able to put away their rivals thanks to a one timer goal from Erik Haula, and an empty netter from Jesper Bratt to seal the victory and shutout as they defeat the Rangers by a final score of 4-0. Akira Schmid rebounded very well with 31 saves and the speedy Devils put the Rangers on their heels all evening long giving them not very much room to work with. New Jersey advances onto round two of the Stanley Cup playoffs and will play the Carolina Hurricanes.

  • Rangers Win, Game 7 Here We Come

    Rangers Win, Game 7 Here We Come

    New Jersey Devils @ New York Rangers

    (Series tied 3-3)

    Game Recap:

    Tonight, the New Jersey Devils have a chance to eliminate their arch rivals in the New York Rangers in game six of the first round of these Stanley Cup playoffs. It’s been all New Jersey the last three games as they’ve turned this series around in their favor after being down 0-2 to start the playoffs. Speed was in full force the first period as the Devils were doing a good job hammering the Rangers in their own zone. As a result later on they would get on the board first as Curtis Lazar would put in the rebound shot from the point by Kevin Bahl to make it 1-0 in favor or the Devils. Late in the period, a tripping call would out the Rangers in the power play and saw them finally breakthrough their struggles as Chris Kreider would deflect in a shot from Mika Zabanejad at the left face off circle to tie the game up at one. That wouldn’t be the only tripping penalty as Ondrej Palat would take one with seconds to go and give the Rangers a power play to begin the second period. After the first period, the score would be tied 1-1.

    New York didn’t get the lead on that power play but, they did past the midway mark of the second period thanks to a goal from Mika Zabanejad. He received a backhanded pass into the high slot from Chris Kreider and fired a wrist shot that would beat Devils goalie Akira Schmid. Another late period goal would hurt New Jersey as Vladimir Tarasenko would fire one from the high slot to extend the Rangers lead to 3-1 heading into the third period.

    The Rangers weren’t done scoring as they struck twice in the third and final period thanks to goals from Barclay Goodrow and Braden Schneider to make it 5-1 in favor of the Rangers. Devils goalie Akira Schmid was pulled in favor of back up Vitek Vanecek. New Jersey added a late power play goal from Dawson Mercer but, at that point it was too late as the Rangers win 5-2 and force a winner take all game seven back in New Jersey on Monday night.

  • TXHT Jersey Share – An Awesome Find in the Twin Cities

    TXHT Jersey Share – An Awesome Find in the Twin Cities

    Ladies and gentlemen welcome to another edition of TXHT Jersey Share where today we take a look at the inaugural jersey for the Minnesota Wild that they wore from their debut in 2000 to the end of the 2006-07 season.

    The Wild would enter the NHL along with the Columbus Blue Jackets for the 2000-01 season making them the 29th and 30th teams to enter the NHL, and both teams would come in with unique designs to make them stand out in their debut seasons.

    For the Wild they decided to distance themselves from the past of the Minnesota North Stars, who would move to Dallas to become the Stars in the early 1990’s, by going with darker colors than what the North Stars had used. Gone was the bright lime green and in was the dark forest green for the primary color, while both tan and red would replace the yellow for the striping. The way they did the overall design for the jersey is very clean, and gives a fresh feel to the then incoming team. One really nice feature I really love about this jersey is the meshing used in the inner arms area. It brings really good breathability to the jersey, and it actually looks cool too.

    For the logo for the center crest, we get a very cool wilderness style logo in the shape of a bear (yes, it took me 20 plus years to figure that one out too lol), and it comes with a very nice touch as it has the North Star in the logo as a nod to city’s past with the North Stars.

    Overall, this is an amazing jersey, and was a really great find during my time at Twin Cities Con last year, and will be taking place again from November 3rd through 5th this year.

  • Oh Schmid! Devils Shutout Rangers and Take Series Lead

    Oh Schmid! Devils Shutout Rangers and Take Series Lead

    New York Rangers @ New Jersey Devils

    (NJ leads series 3-2)

    Game Recap:

    Looking to maintain the momentum they’ve built and take a series lead, the New Jersey Devils return home to host the New York Rangers in game five at the Prudential Center. It didn’t take long for the Devils to get out in front as Ondrej Palat scored thirty nine seconds into the game to give New Jersey a 1-0 lead. Palat put in a rebound shot in the offensive zone off of a face off for the quick and early goal. Goalie Akira Schmid made some incredible saves to keep the lead heading into the second period.

    Erik Haula began his excellent night in the second period with a power play goal as he deflected in a shot from Dawson Mercer for the tip in to extend his team’s lead to two. New Jersey wouldn’t be done scoring just yet. Ten minutes later while in the penalty kill, the Rangers would cough the puck up at the point and put the Devils on a two on one chance where Dawson Mercer buried a feed from Erik Haula to make it 3-0 in favor of the Devils. It would remain a three goal lead heading into the final frame.

    Akira Schmid continued to provide excellent goaltending in between the pipes, while the Devils defense gave the New York Rangers not many options throughout the evening. You could sense the frustration from the Rangers with the lack of production throughout the entire lineup the last few games. Later on, Erik Haula added his second goal of the game and third of the playoffs with an empty net goal to seal the shutout victory as the New Jersey Devils defeated the New York Rangers by a final score of 4-0. Akira Schmid made twenty three saves to earn the shutout victory and was phenomenal all evening long. The Devils have a chance to send their Hudson River rivals packing if they can win game six on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.
