And it comes down to this


Tomorrow at 12:30 the puck will drop at Madison Square Garden. The New Jersey Devils will be paying a visit to their cross-river rival, New York Rangers.

Not much is on the line for the Devils; they have been out of the playoff race for about a week now. But for the Rangers, a playoff berth is on the line. The Carolina Hurricanes are one game ahead of the Rangers in the East even though they are tied with 91 points. The Rangers control their own fate. Both the Rangers and the Hurricanes have one game left, each game being tomorrow. The Rangers also need Carolina to lose to capture the eight seed, but no matter what, they need to take care of their own business.

This is a must win for the Rangers. As a Devils fan, I would love to see them ruin the Rangers season. I honestly think this could not have been written any better than it is. The only way this would be better is if the Devils and the Rangers were playing for the eighth and finally spot, but thankfully that is not the case because I would probably get sick watching the game. Oddly enough, if the Rangers win and make it in, I will root for them to do well.

The Garden will be rocking tomorrow. My family is going to the game but unfortunately for me, I could not get off of work. It is probably for the best because I would have to wear my Devils jersey to the game and in return get harassed. For the last time this season... LET'S GO DEVILS!

And it comes down to this one game. Win and they're in. Lose and start dusting off the golf clubs.
