By "horrible officiating" I can only assume you mean the absurd non-call when Colin White tried to kill Claude Giroux by checking him head first into the boards in what would, in any other game, be a textbook boarding with intent to injure that should have resulted in a match penalty and a game misconduct?

If you're referring to anything else, you weren't watching the game closely because the Devils played very undisciplined hockey and took some really stupid penalties.

Kovalchuk is looking like a real waste, because he's been invisible thus far and was the poster child for dumb penalites (how does a "superstar" get called for elbowing Dan Carcillo???). Oddly enough (or maybe not so odd) the Devils were a better team before they traded for him.

The only saving grace for the Devils is that they really didn't give up much to get him.

All that being said, I still like the Devils to win this series. They're still a better team than the Flyers and Brodeur is, at least for now, still Brodeur.
