Hey, you think Melanie Brodeur was sitting at home with a McFarlane Toys action figure and some voodoo needles?
Anyway, three points from Mark Everson's Game Three write-up:
1. Once he accepted the reality of his agonizing blunder, Brodeur was definitely chuckling behind his mask. He knew his teammates would get it back, and they did.
2. Pascal Rheaume didn't make the play, but at least he had the right idea: "I'm not allowed to lose a faceoff like that, especially in overtime. I didn't try to win it. I tried to tie it.".
3. I'd been wondering if the Devils needed special dispensation for their playoff beards, my friend the Devils fan didn't know for sure. Lamoriello may have always had the rule, but it's also a Steinbrenner thing.
And well, well, well... here I thought the old Mario to the New York Rangers rumor was the reason I would link to Larry Brooks, but read on and you'll see there could be news to come in the world of John Torchetti, the Florida Panthers and the San Antonio Rampage. Same rumor (Keenan leaving) that's been there for months, it just hadn't been put out there in a while.
