Scott Gomez has routinely been booed by New Jersey Devils fans ever since coming to New York. Tonight, it all came back to bite them in the butts. Gomez had three assists for the fifth seed Rangers, leading them to a 4-1 victory over the fourth seed Devils.
The Rangers took 7 out of 8 from the Devils during the regular season. In fact, the Rangers beat them seven strait times. The only Devils' win was the final game of the season, which clinched home ice for them, and made the Rangers the visiting team in this opening game.
Brendan Shanahan scored his 59th playoff goal to open the festivities 1:45 into the second period. Callahan, Avery, and Dawes (on an empty net) added the other Rangers' goals in this contest, boosting them to an early lead in the series.
The Rangers take the ice again Friday at 7:00 pm in game two of this seven game series.
GO RANGERS!!!!!
