Nieuwy 500 Countdown: 4

[Greg Berge]

ESPN2 features one player per game on their scrolling "bottom line."  Last night both Nieuwy and Chartrand were listed.

it was nice to actually be able to watch a devils game yesterday. no goals for joe. maybe he can wait until i see him friday in person :-) (i may be going, not sure yet)B-]

[RichS]

I sure hope he waits for you...I definitely don't want him to score when I'm at MSG tomorrow rooting for the Rangers and Johnson City's own Mike Dunham !!!  :-D

[Erica]

maybe he'll score it on the 30th in Boston, I'll be there!

[gtsully]

Man, do I have to get into this too?

Let's go Bruins!

[jy3]

two things:
what is he at now? 497 right?
devils need to get back that soft goal and win 2nite. :-)
LGD!

[Greg Berge]

He's still at 497 after the NYR game tonight (Monday).

As I recall, Joe has had some really big games on New Year's Eve/Day.  Maybe he'll pull out another one this year -- the Devils do play on Jan 1.

i want a hatty on friday
my brother said that people tend to get milestones vs. the capitals ::twitch::

[RichS]

Which Ranger goal are you referring to?  

I was at the game and saw the highlights and I sure would not call either of their goals soft.  If you want to say Stevens blew playing the rebound on the second one, okay...but that didn't make it a soft goal.  Lintner made a sweet backhander to beat Brodeur.

I love it when "Scottie boy" looks bad.  :-D

[jy3]

dont remember but i think it was the first. but i may have been referring to stevens. couple days ago :-)
still want a hatty tomorrow!
from joe and baby ::rolleyes::

[French Rage]

That should be Nieuwy...

[Al DeFlorio]

Are you sure it's not Hieuwy or Dieuwy? ::nut::

[Rich S]

Missed the 3rd period last night when he potted the two, but saw some of the post game interview with him.  He seemed relieved to get back on track and most of all, glad it got his team a win.

As much as I don't care for the Devils, being a Rangers fan, I enjoy watching him play...a work ethic and team attitude that is uncommon in today's NHL.  Deflects attention to his personal accomplishments, focuses on team goals, etc...

As I've said before, he and Dave Taylor are cut from the same bolt of cloth.
