It was a tough call to swallow, but that's what happens in a close game where a bad bounce or call can determine the outcome. Devils center Bobby Holik said the Devils have let their emotions get in the way of playing for the team. I don't know when we are going to do it. I hope Monday night. There is no doubt the Devils have the ability to win the series, Holik said.
Talk is easy.
Wrapping up the series won't be easy, the Maple Leafs said after working out on Sunday. Every player knew what the Devils did against the Flyers to reach the Cup final last year. Not only did New Jersey win the final three games, but it won two on the road. Toronto forward Garry Valk said the Maple Leafs have put themselves in great position to avenge their conference semifinal loss to the Devils last year. Copyright 2001, The Associated Press.
