We can't use Peter as a crutch when things don't go our way. Randy McKay's return in the series appears doubtful. The right wing fractured his left hand in New Jersey's Game 1 loss to Colorado, and has been holding out hope that he could make it back if the series ran long. McKay arrived back in New Jersey with the Devils from Denver on Wednesday afternoon, but felt that that it was a long shot that he could resume his season. After finally scoring past Patrick Roy, and getting even after two games in the Stanley Cup finals, the Devils were relaxed on the return trip to New Jersey.
Some people read a lot.
Strong winds were in the area causing some bumpy rides as flights came in. Colorado defenseman Adam Foote got a scare late in Game 2 when he slammed into the boards after becoming entangled with New Jersey's Patrik Elias. Foote was helped to the locker room, but returned to the ice less than three minutes later. I just went into the boards awkward. It was a good one.
