| at about Patrick Roy? Was his shelling in Game 7 of last year's conference finals a sign that the days of him being the best "money" goaltender in the league are over? And of course we cannot forget about other traditional contenders like the stingy New Jersey Devils and the re-tooled Dallas Stars, who both may have a gripe with the Red Wings and Avalanche being called the teams to beat. The best part of all this is that no one really has a clue as to what will actually happen come spring. Recent playoff history |

"But if they didn't work the last game and they don't come work hard enough as a team and play as a decent unit, you can add one or two pieces but that's not going to do it."

| (MySportsbook) - Roman Cechmanek wasn't named the first star of Tuesday night's crucial home match against the New Jersey Devils. Heck, he wasn't even named the second or third star. The whole system must be breaking down then, because the Czech backstop single-handedly prevented the Devils from skating away with a win and a six- point lead in the Atlantic Division standings. Cechmanek finished with 34 saves on the night, including a stellar sequence on Devils rookie Mike Rupp in the waning seconds. Rupp skat |

His tally Tuesday night in Philadelphia did not clinch anything and it didn't even win a game. But that doesn't diminish its importance. Friesen scored late in the third period for New Jersey to salvage to a 2-2 tie with Philadelphia at the First Union Center. John Madden also scored for the Devils, who have not lost in four games against the Flyers this season (3-0-1). F |
