Jersey just stuck it to the Kings two games in a row, and were coming back to Los Angeles to try to even up the series and take it back to Jersery for game seven. The talk was that the Devils were in a "beat down" mode, i.e., they had to come out hard and take the momentum from the very start. And they did just that, only they went a bit outside the normal hit to make a point, by that rather stupid boarding incident that Bernier had, drawing blood, and causing a five minute major. Now, had the Kings not capitalized (and I mean that with a Capital "C") on the power play with the three goals, the outcome may have been different. But those three goals were probably so demoralizing to the Devils that as hard and as well as they played thereafter, one is reminded how difficult it is in hockey to get out of a three goal deficit.<br /><br />And Tony, thanks for the congrats, even though neither of us won any money from each other with the way the bet was structured. They say the parade will be this Thursday downtown, and again, I may have to forgo it due to work commitments, damn it (coupled with the fact that my daughter is graduating from Cal State L.A. on Saturday, and I have to leave early on Friday to get to the hotel near the school so I don't have to get up a 5 a.m. just to make her 8 a.m. graduation!<br /><br />Beth, thanks for the props!<br /><br />I am one happy Kings fan!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804061199499531440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12467883.post-91639858026860791112012-06-12T09:51:39.847-07:002012-06-12T09:51:39.847-07:00Congrats!

The 3 consecutive powerplay goals changed the dynamics of the night, and from that point, the cup was yours. Still nothing I enjoy more then the final handshakes of both teams. That is what separates hockey from other sports...it teaches how to lose gracefully and the value of sportsmanship.Tonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12467883.post-64775165955219579102012-06-12T02:36:19.735-07:002012-06-12T02:36:19.735-07:00In the playoffs, Devils weren't a beat down so...In the playoffs, Devils weren't a beat down sort of team.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16567817295665099690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12467883.post-70612559764554010352012-06-11T21:54:33.269-07:002012-06-11T21:54:33.269-07:00Well, that is one way to phrase it.
