Last Night's Action: A Puzzling Result

      

  • Nets 115, Knicks 89: Want a sign that Coach Mike D'Antoni is upset with the Knicks? How about some playing time for Demetris Nichols and Cheikh Samb, two players on 10-day contracts? In the second and third quarters, the Nets lit up the scoreboard for 70 points -- they made 16 of 22 shots in the third -- and they did all this without All-Star Devin Harris. Vince Carter had 29. Keyon Dooling, starting in place of Harris, had 17 points. After a disastrous four-game swing through the west, the Nets got the final game of this road trip in the win column. Despite wearing green St. Patrick's Day uniforms a day late, the Knicks had no luck, making two of 15 three pointers. Al Harrington had 21 points.
  • Hurricanes 4, Devils 2: Even Martin Brodeur needs a day off every once in a while. He had started 10 consecutive games since returning from his biceps injury -- and set the NHL wins record in the process. Kevin Weekes is no Martin Brodeur. Who could blame the Devils for being emotionally drained after celebrating their goaltender Tuesday in New Jersey and then traveling to Raleigh, N.C., for a game the next night? Zach Parise and Brian Gionta had the goals in the loss.

Last Night's Action: Unfamiliar Face, Familiar Result

  • Pacers 98, Nets 87: What good is having Vince Carter if no one falls in behind him? Mr. Inconsistency Yi Jianlian went 4-of-13 from the field and just 1-of-6 from 2-point land. Carter had 28 points but somehow managed only one rebound in 40 minutes. Weird.

    Last Night's Action: Back to .500

  • Devils 4, Lightning 3 (SO): Martin who? Well, not yet. But Kevin Weekes came up big in a shootout and the Devils picked up the win in their first game since announcing Martin Brodeur would be out 3-4 months following elbow surgery. Patrik Elias and Jamie Langenbrunner had the shootout goals for New Jersey. Elias joined David Clarkson and Jay Pandolfo as the regulation goal-scorers. The Devils sit idle until Saturday, when they visit Detroit.

    Devils Lose Brodeur For 3-4 Months

    Devils Lose Brodeur For 3-4 Months

    The Devils got terrible news today when they learned that Martin Brodeur will require elbow surgery Thursday to repair the distal bicep in his left elbow. Brodeur is expected to miss 3-4 months after the operation, which should allow him to return to the Devils in March. The loss of Brodeur elevates Kevin Weekes into the starting goaltender’s spot, a role he hasn’t had since the 2003-04 season. Scott Clemmensen, with 15 career games in the NHL, is now Weekes' backup. Brodeur, who was injured Saturday, is a four-time winner, including last year, of the Vezina Trophy as the league's best goalie. more ›

    Last Night's Action: Watching the Same Team?

    Mavericks 99, Knicks 89: Are James Dolan and Isiah Thomas watching the same team the fans are? More boos were heard in Madison Square Garden during the latest Knicks debacle. But James Dolan and Isiah Thomas don't seem to hear them -- or feel the "Fire Isiah" chants are justified. What more evidence do they need? A loss to the Mavericks, the team that finished with the best record in the NBA last season, wouldn't... more ›

    Last Night's Action: Isles Extend Rangers' Misery

  • Thrashers 4, Devils 3 (SO): Too bad Devils power plays end up with goals being scored by both teams. New Jersey gave up two short-handed goals -- both to Marian Hossa -- en route to a shootout loss at home to Atlanta. Sergei Brylin's goal, New Jersey's first, shows the offense with the man advantage is working, but the Devils still got caught red-handed twice. more ›

    Quick Hits: Rangers and Jeter Win Again; Wright Finally Comes Through

    - Rangers 3 San Jose 1: New York completed a successful west coast swing with their second win in as many nights.

    Stuck On 52

    One of these days Jagr will get his 53rd goal. The last time the Rangers faced the Islanders; it had appeared that Jagr had scored, only to see the goal credited to Martin Straka. Last night the exact same thing happened in the Rangers’ 3-1 victory over the Islanders. To his credit, Jagr didn’t seem at all interested in the record stating after the game, “The record you might remember two weeks after that. But if you win the Cup, you can remember forever. It means a lot more to me." more ›

    Seven Straight

    Seven Straight

    Kevin Weekes picked the perfect time to have his best game as a Ranger. New York stumbled out of the gate taking three penalties and committing multiple turnovers, but Weekes would not allow Philadelphia to score, despite facing 15 shots in the period. With Weekes allowing them to stay in the game, the Rangers hit their stride. Jaromir Jagr scored near the end of the first and the Rangers never looked back, destroying the Flyers 6-1. more ›

    Unstoppable

    Don’t expect the Rangers to be happy that the Olympic break has arrived. Why would a team that has won six straight want to stop playing now? Saturday night the Rangers beat Toronto 4-2 capping off a perfect month of February. more ›

    Nothing but Net

    Nothing but Net

    Kevin Weekes had not started in goal since the middle of January and figured to be rusty last night, but the Rangers picked up their defense and didn’t allow an Islander shot in the first eleven minutes of their 5-2 victory. With the upcoming Olympic Break, the Rangers will need to rely on Weekes more to get through the compressed schedule in March and April. more ›
