Well, at the very least we got to see a prelude to a piece of hockey history, but that’s not why we came to New Jersey! A long night for the Coyotes as the New Jersey Devils stormed to an early lead and cruised to a 5-2 win.  For a moment in the first period this was a hockey game as Phoenix cashed when they had to, on a four minute power play. But the Devils are just too good and this is their time of year. As Tyson Nash said on the radio broadcast, “this is a team that is built for the playoffs.”  They sure are.

The longest trip of the year felt like the longest trip of the year.  But home awaits and as you will hear Shane Doan say, there are players playing for jobs.  Is there any better motivation?
