FIVE YEARS AGO: March 17, 1994

St. Patrick could wipe out the snakes, but not the Devils. Joisey beats future playoff rival Buffalo 6-1, moving into first place in goals-against and moving within four points of the Rangers.

Meanwhile, as the Rangers prepare for their final game before the trading deadline, Episode 1F14 of The Simpsons, "Homer Loves Flanders," debuts (yep, remember the Simpsons on Thursdays?).

What does that have to do with the hockey season? Absolutely nothing, but I'll use any conceivable excuse to get to use the quote in the tagline...
