Well well, game 5 at the Prudential Center Saturday night

The Devils would not go quietly in the Angelino night and fought back to score a 3-1 victory over the Kings in Game 4. For once the Devils scored first on a fine rebound tap in by Partik Elias but moments later, after yet another NHL referee seemingly doesn't referee the game but rather the score, David Clarkson was sent off on a HORRID call and the Kings Drew Doughty tied the score on the ill-gotten Kings powerplay. But before anybody could have the life stolen from them, the Devils responded in a big big way with yet ANOTHER massive goal by Adam Henrique. This guy has been amazing. Won the series against Florida in OT, won the series against the Rangers in OT, and last night kept the Devils playing in this series in the third period. Ilya Kovalchuk aded a goal later yet and the Devils are on their way back to Newark with something to play for.

If the Devils can in game 5 anything IS still possible. Go back to LA when all the pressure will be on the Kings (who while they have been spectacular a lot of hockey gurus like Johnny keep waiting to see a sniff of the #8 seed the Kings came into the playoffs with).

Game 5 Saturday night. You know the place, make it LOUD New Jersey.
