  Well, that was fun.

  The Devils started off well and actually led in the Eastern conference after twenty games, but all was naught in the end after Brodeur was injured, and then Kovalchuk, and the rest of the team decided not to give a damn.

   

  Anyway, basketball's left. Huzzah to playoffs.

  They say it's better late than never.

  But considering how long it took them to come to an agreement, I'm more distraught than happy about the season being salvaged.

  I just want to get back to watching hockey...

  A disappointing end.

  As many as would claim the officiating was suspect in game six--which it was, but it has been all playoffs, as it always is--that isn't what ended the Devils' hope of pushing to game seven: it was their lackluster penalty kill, and minutes early, it was Bernier's careless boarding call that was just so stupid, it makes my head hurt.

  Should the officials have called the Stoll penalty on Gionta? Yes. Did they? No. Missed calls are part of the game, and Bernier should never have been that idiotic. But oh, well.

  We made it to the Finals, and it was a wonderful series to watch the Devils climb back into it and force a game six, first time since '45 Red Wings. Not much else to say.

  It'll be interesting to see how many Devils fans boo Bernier next season, assuming he's still with us. Especially because Bernier was part of the fourth line that fueled the Devils during the Flyers series as well as the Rangers series, and little bit during the Panthers. We'll see.
