Devils topple Kings; stay alive for Game 5

LOS ANGELES -- The Devils can do more than dream now.

They ‘Can Do.’ And did.

They live, thanks to more Adam Henrique heroics. The Devils’ ultra-clutch rookie, with two series-winning overtime goals already in his bag, scored the tie-breaking winner with 4:29 left in their 3-1 do-or-die victory in Game 4 over the Kings Wednesday night.

They’re coming home to New Jersey, and if they shatter the Kings’ record road perfection Saturday in Newark, they would turn the Stanley Cup finals on its ear.

Henrique also was bold enough to say: Yes, We Can.

“We know we can do it. We know we can put four together and come back,” said Henrique, the finalist Calder Trophy for the league’s top rookie.

AP

YES! Adam Henrique celebrates after beating Jonathan Quick for the go-ahead goal in the Devils’ 3-1 victory over the Kings in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals last night.

Martin Brodeur, still alive in the race for his first Conn Smythe Trophy at age 40, said the Devils wanted to rain on the Kings’ parade plans, and make them disappointed tourists bound for Newark again.

“We wanted to make them jump on a plane and come to New Jersey. We had to go anyway, so we might as well get a game over there,” Brodeur said. “It’s a tough situation for us to be in, and we pulled it off, one game.

“I’m sure they’re not happy to make that trip. We’ll try to make it miserable for them again.We’ll play them well and play them hard and see what results end up.”

The first order of business was to avoid becoming the first Devils team ever swept. Now their 9-1 record in Games 4-7 of these playoffs could be reason for the Kings to sweat as it collides Saturday with L.A.’s 10-0 road mark. Should the Devils end that road perfection, they would come back here where the Kings are only 5-3. The Devils stand 7-5 away from Newark. Jersey lost the opening pair in Newark.

“We’ve got to win a home game,” Devils coach Pete DeBoer said. “We’re a good home team in front of our crowd. I’m confident that we’ll be ready to play and we’ll get the job done.”

Brodeur said the victory increased the Devils’ belief they can pull off the first 0-3 comeback in the finals since the 1942 Leafs 70 years ago. After all, they have won from the same 1-3 hole (2000 Flyers) they occupy today.

“More [belief] than yesterday,” Brodeur said. “We’re definitely looking forward to the next game and some of the momentum.

“We finally were able to score some goals on [Jonathan] Quick. Not many, but enough to win. That’s going to a good thing for the boys coming home, that we’re usually a little better offensively on home ice.”

They will try to convince the Kings that they are taking aim at a fourth, and biggest comeback victim. They can point to triumphs from 2-3, 0-1 and 1-2 holes in their previous rounds this spring.

Brodeur did his finest work 4:17 into the third, when Gagne took off 2-on-1 with Bryce Salvador’s errant point pass. Gagne sent in Trevor Lewis, and Brodeur reached out to poke the puck, sending Lewis’ chip wide.

The Devils’ drought ended at 138:17 when Patrik Elias rebounded Bryce Salvador’s left point shot at 7:56 of the third. It gave the Devils their first lead of the series.

That lead lasted only 1:02 before Kings defenseman Drew Doughty scored the first power-play goal of the series, six seconds into David Clarkson’s boarding penalty. Anton Volchenkov cut across Brodeur’s sight to take screener Dustin Brown, and Doughty’s slap went in from a deflection by New Jersey’s Dainius Zubrus.

With the end of their Cup run on the line, Henrique’s left wing winner came from a cross-ice pass from Clarkson, catching Quick moving across his crease and finding room over Quick’s stick on the short side.

“It was a goal-scorer’s play,” DeBoer said.

And they needed one.

***

DeBoer returned defenseman Henrik Tallinder to the lineup after he missed 58 games from a blood clot ailment in his lower left leg. He played 19:21.

He also used Petr Sykora, who scored 21 goals this season after making the team as a tryout. Sykora, who played 12:19 and had a plus-one rating, won the Stanley Cup with New Jersey in 2000, though he was in a Dallas hospital when linemates Patrik Elias and Jason Arnott combined for the OT Cup-winner. He had scored 32 career playoff goals and also won the Cup with the 2009 Penguins.

Book industry’s death is greatly exaggerated

Keith J. Kelly

MEDIA INK

Book publishing may be an industry under siege, but you could not tell that from the Javits Convention Center, where the annual Book Expo America extravaganza got underway in earnest yesterday.

“I’ve been coming to this thing for 25 years, and this is the most crowded first day I can remember,” said David Rosenthal, head of Penguin’s Blue Rider Press imprint, which recently published Mets pitcher R. A. Dickey’s memoir “Wherever I Wind Up” and plans to publish Neil Young’s memoir “Waging Heavy Peace” in October.

Rosenthal said he felt crowds were attracted by brand-name authors who showed up. Young was going to be on a panel this morning with punk rocker Patti Smith.

The Expo is not open to the public, but publishers use it to drum up interest in their upcoming fall and winter books.

“Our booth has been completely packed since we opened,” said Michael Pietsch, publisher of Little, Brown and Co. at Hachette Books Group, which last year won the auction to publish the first-ever adult novel from “Harry Potter” author J. K. Rowling.

The book, “The Casual Vacancy,” is set in rural England and centers around the secrets that begin to emerge when a local councilman dies and creates a vacancy on the council.

Pietsch said he has cranked up the first printing for the book to 2 million copies. While the book will contain no magic or wizardry, it will borrow one page from the Potter marketing strategy, with a one-day national on-sale date, Sept. 27, amid a huge publicity blitz.

One of the longest lines at the Expo was to meet Daniel Handler, author of “Who Could That Be at This Hour,” the first installment of the latest Lemony Snickett series, “All the Wrong Questions.” The book is due out on Oct. 23.

There were a few more parties than there were during some of the worst years of the recession. Penguin staged its at the famed Algonquin Hotel, and Knopf/Doubleday was going to Cognac on Broadway yesterday. Harper Collins was heading downtown to The Park on lower Tenth Avenue.

People Managing Editor Larry Hackett and the weekly’s Books Editor Kim Hubbard are staging a bash at the Top of the Standard on Washington Street tonight, helping to fill a void when The New Yorker opted out of its book party in favor of spending its dollars at the White House Correspondents Dinner in May.

A lot of the activity was off the floor, although one rights editor complained that a lot of the British publishers seemed to be staying home this year. He theorized that they didn’t want to miss the festivities for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

Random House, the nation’s biggest publisher, wasn’t spending much more money at the Expo than it did in the past. It has maintained only a modest presence for the past several years.

Simon & Schuster also seemed to have a smaller booth this year.

“Publishers realize they need the show,” said Jim Milliot, the editorial director of Publishers Weekly, “but they want to spend as little as possible on booths.”

Nielsen Bookscan said that unit sales in the retail outlets that it tracked were down about 8.9 percent in 2011 compared with a year earlier. Print adult fiction, normally the most robust, tumbled 17.7 percent last year, to 160 million units sold.

“The book industry needs to put forward a strong message that gets everyone to engage with content and not simply get the consumers it already has to make a transition to digital,” said Michael Norris, a senior analyst at Simba Information Inc.

Simba’s study, the State of the Consumer Book Publishing 2012, estimates that about 54 percent have read at least one paperback title in 2011, down from 63 percent in 2010.

“Over 100 million Americans didn’t buy a print book or an e-book last year, and if this business wants to grow, that’ s where it needs to start looking,” Norris said.

War story

The quest to find the next hot book from a debut author was a big part of the show. Pietsch at Little, Brown was pushing a novel by Iraq war veteran Kevin Powers, “The Yellow Birds.” He is planning a 50,000 first printing for the author who went to college after returning from the war.

Miracle

If booksellers’ reaction to a Monday afternoon “buzz panel” is any barometer, then the memoir by New York Post reporter Susannah Cahalan will be a hit. Her galleys were snapped up in minutes.

“Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness” chronicles how an autoimmune disease attacked her brain, causing convulsions and leading doctors to predict she’d need to be institutionalized for the rest of her life. One doctor figured out what was wrong.

Jackson decides not to pursue Magic job: report

ORLANDO — Phil Jackson decided against pursuing a role with the Orlando Magic despite brief interest in a proposed position with the coachless team’s front office, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

Jackson, who ended his second coaching tenure with the Lakers in 2011, was lined up as either a team president/general manager or in a consulting role in discussions that were given serious consideration by Magic CEO Alex Martins.

But Jackson pulled out Thursday after apparently opting for an alternative route back to the NBA.

Former Magic guard Sam Vincent said he acted as an intermediary between Martins and Jackson, who he played under briefly in the late 1980s in Chicago as the Zen Master began his stellar coaching career with the Bulls.

Vincent said he hoped to team Jackson up with an unnamed former All-Star player and Hall of Famer, who is currently contracted to another NBA team but was proposed as the Magic’s new coach under the arrangement, following the recent firing of Stan Van Gundy.

“It drew some interest from Phil,” Vincent told the Sentinel. “But in the end, Phil decided to go with another opportunity.“

Vincent also said Jackson, who led the Bulls to six NBA titles and the Lakers to five, indicated he was not looking to return to the league in a coaching role.

Martins said he would not comment on the proposal.

“Not because of this specific situation, but because I have been consistent during the search that I won’t comment on specific candidates,” Martins told the Sentinel. “I stand by my statement that we will put a premium on searching for Championship experience in the positions within in our search.“

RBI Panel Eyes Easing Bond Ownership for Foreigners

A committee set up by the Reserve Bank of India has suggested that India should make it easier for foreign investors to own Indian government bonds.

In a draft report released late Thursday, the committee noted that just a few investors hold most Indian government bonds, and many of the bonds are rarely traded in the secondary market. Making it easier for foreigners to own them could improve liquidity.

"There is an urgent need to address the issue of secondary market liquidity in the (government bond) market," the report said.

An illiquid secondary market means that bond investors who may want to sell their holdings may find it hard to get out and have to pay higher prices. Also, bond prices in the secondary market, determined by demand and supply for a particular bond, help determine the price of new bonds to be issued.

To make trading in the secondary market more robust in the government bond market, the RBI report recommended several steps, including greater participation from foreign investors. The report is now accepting public comments through June 22.

It proposed that the cap on foreign institutional investors for owning government bonds be raised gradually, from its current level of $15 billion. Another recommendation was to allow foreign investors to buy government bonds directly from bondholders, as opposed to only through a broker.

The report also suggested revisiting a rule of the Securities & Exchange Board of India that effectively forces foreign institutional investors to hold the bonds they buy till maturity and thus limits their capacity to trade.

Bond investors welcomed these recommendations.

Foreign participation in India's debt market "is sorely needed," said Killol Pandya, head of fixed income at Daiwa Asset Management (India) Pvt. in Mumbai. But Mr. Pandya noted that the RBI report didn't set any timelines for achieving these goals. "I only hope that action is taken on the report sooner rather than later," he said.

The RBI report said that while issuance of Indian government bonds has increased over the last five years, trading in the secondary market has not risen much over this period. Some 80% of outstanding government bonds are held by banks and insurance companies, which typically hold on to them for years.

The report found that the trading volume for Indian government bonds was much lower than that of government bonds in Mexico, Brazil and Korea. In India, just five bonds account for 86% of the total trading volume. There are 92 government bonds outstanding currently.

Among other measures to help make the market more robust, the RBI panel suggested increasing participation by individual investors, who currently have little ownership through mutual funds. "To make a beginning, and since inflation affects the poor and middle class significantly, (government) may consider issuing inflation-indexed bonds specifically for retail/individual investors," the report said.

The interest on such bonds would be periodically revised to adjust for inflation.

5 Questions for... Keith Jones

Former NHL forward and NBC Sports studio analyst Keith Jones talks Devils-Kings Stanley Cup finals and Rangers offseason with The Post’s Justin Terranova.

Q: Why do you think the Devils could give the Kings more trouble than the teams they rolled through in the Western Conference?

A: The Kings really do have some outstanding structure to their game and throughout their lineup. The one team that gave the Devils the most trouble is the Panthers and they didn’t really have any structure, they just played. The fact that the Kings do have structure is something the Devils can take advantage of because they are such a disciplined team.

Q: What’s the biggest change you see in the Devils under first-year coach Pete DeBoer?

A: The aggressiveness. As great as they were in winning those Stanley Cups, there were times where they were not that interesting. Always difficult to play against, but there wasn’t a lot of excitement around the team. To me, there has been all year with this style of play and DeBoer deserves a lot of credit for that. And it’s not easy to overhaul a system that they’ve played for 15-17 years. They are now an entertaining hockey team.

Q: What does it say to you that Martin Brodeur is in the Stanley Cup finals at the age of 40?

A: He gets every aspect of being a goaltender in the NHL. The physical side has always been there with his play, but the mind has been stronger than any goaltender I’ve ever seen, and I played with Patrick Roy in Colorado. He had the same type of mind, but Brodeur has done it for so much longer that, to me, he’s the best that ever played.

Q: Do the Rangers need to make significant changes in the offseason to be back as a Stanley Cup contender?

A: No, I wouldn’t change a whole lot. I just think they got tired, wasted a lot of time getting rid of the Senators and the Capitals gave them everything they can handle. They really just need to close out games better, and missing a little bit of that killer instinct. Not one thing stands out at me, they just ran into a Devils team that wasn’t going to be stopped.

Q: Do you think this playoff experience will help them next year?

A: There’s no question about it. They’ve played more big games than anyone has this year. I would not tweak a whole lot with that team, they’ll be right back at it next year and a threat in the East.
