Long weekend...good hockey

But i don't remember anything of significance.

Well, more on the "goalie is not the most important player on the ice" front...
Weekes gets a win for the Devils. Why? is he better than Brodeur? Did he play significantly better than Brodeur did against the Pens last week? (a 5-0 romp by the pens)

No Weekes played a solid game. Made a couple of big saves. But largely, the difference was - New Jersey played better...they scored first and played solid defense. With the exception of the goal by Crosby...the defense played as good as they could. They are not the defense that the Devils have iced over the past 15yrs - even last year around december, the Devils had one of the better defenses in the league. By player, probably not, but by system and discipline to the system, definitely.

For some reason, that is all i remember about this weekend. Oh and the Rangers won and gave a point to Toronto. I think the Rangers have that team that can give up a crucial goal - meaning no lead is safe (against the teams that can score - Ottawa, Carolina, etc...).
