One Minute and Twenty Seconds. 80 Seconds. Thats all that separated the New Jersey Devils from round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Instead, one of the most EPIC failures in the history of the franchise and mine and Bri guys fandom. Yours truly, and Bri guy were at the decisive game 7 last night at the ROCK in downtown Newark, NJ. The Devils held a 3-2 lead LATE in the 3rd period. Carolina scored with 1:20 left to play to tie the game at 3. Fine. We will just have to win in Overtime. Less than 50 seconds later the place was silent. Eric Staal beat Marty Brodeur with a wrist shot from the circle, and the Canes took a 4-3 lead with only 30 seconds to play. From up a goal to shaking hands as the losing team in a matter of 50 seconds. How quickly things can change in the world of sports.
I wont say it's the worst loss in Devils history, because it was only the 1st round of the playoffs, but it's without a doubt the worst loss I've ever attended in person.
Just when I thought it was over...the Nightmares continue...here's to next season
