“This Day” takes a look at a moment in Devils history most probably think never even happened.  When one thinks of comebacks, no one expects a big comeback from the Devils in a third period (especially in the 1980’s).  Yet the unthinkable did occur.  Indeed it did on this day 26 years ago and it is something that if you talk to an oldtime New York Rangers fan, they will deny it until hell freezes over.  At any rate, here is a video and then the moment.

November 02, 1985

New Jersey Devils had the biggest comeback in team history — down 4-0 in the third period, they scored 5 times to tie the game, then beat the Rangers 6-5 on an OT goal by Mel Bridgman. Pete McNab led the scoring with two goals and two assists.

Someone wanted to go with the Jets moment today from 1969 but this is a hockey site and we were not going to do that.  Instead we found a hockey moment with some bite.  We dud deep so you would not have to.  Here is that moment.

Let’s toss some home out there with this moment from yesteryear in NHL history.  It could not hurt after all, right?  Election day hockey post and more coming later….

We are back after a few days off. Well really they were not days off as packing people to get ready to go on vacation is more exhausting than being off from doing what you love. At any rate, here is today’s moment and video.

Going through the years….heh.
