Anyone think we could have 2 100 point rookies? Has this ever happened before? I dont think so...

Hold onto your shorts folks the Bell Centre will be ROCKING, whoever wins its going to be a great game! :jump:

Both teams have been matching each other with wins for the past week. Keep a close eye on the Tampa game who's two points behind.

I'll tell you guys we need at least two points out of this weekend. A win tonight in Montreal would be much more impressive and Sunday's game won't be as big and maybe Clemmer starts against the Rags. However, a loss tonight and the game Vs. the Rangers becomes much bigger and our record playing backto back isn't exactly something to brag about. So, lets go out and put an end the Hab's streak tonight. I believe Marty will play great tonight. 3 - 2 Devil win. : :clap:

Go Devils! This should be a great game to watch, with both teams giving it all they got. I can't wait.

Brodeur will play every game remaining....and clemmer wont dress i dont think..Doyle was called up..Clemmer is Ill...ESPN was reporting

Brodeur will play every game remaining....and clemmer wont dress i dont think..Doyle was called up..Clemmer is Ill...ESPN was reporting

Thanks for the info.

Should be a good game boys. I expect a fight between Patrick Elias and Mark Streit off the opening face off.

Let's go directly to OT, just to annoy TB. Something about Torterella, pleases me when he's unhappy.

I hope it's a fair game tonight where the players decide the game, I hope that the refs don't get intimidated by the crowd at the Bell center and give the Habs phantom powerplays, If any of you watched the Hab-Bruin game you'll know what I'm talking about.

Crap, I don't think Doc will be doing the game. He's doing the Rangers game right now on NBC. God, I hate Loughlin.

Brodeur will play every game remaining....and clemmer wont dress i dont think..Doyle was called up..Clemmer is Ill...ESPN was reportingThat's probably right unless the Devils are locked into a playoff position.

I hope Paul Martin is over whatever he had during the last Pittsburgh game. If he has the same thing Clemmensen has, Paul may not be able to play.

Crap, I don't think Doc will be doing the game. He's doing the Rangers game right now on NBC.I highly doubt he will. Also, did the voices not match the lips for you when Doc and JD were talking before the game? It was like a poorly dubbed Japanese film for me.

I wasn't looking when they were talking.

Let's go directly to OT, just to annoy TB. Something about Torterella, pleases me when he's unhappy.
That would clinch the season series for us and a tie breaker after wins.

i missed it... what happened to martin?

i missed it... what happened to martin?He only played the 1st Period at home against the Penguins on Wednesday. It was later reported that he was ill.

I don't know his status for tonight.

i hope martin is back we need him.

Tonight is a big night, I'd rather win the first half of the back-to-back games this weekend. Let's get that tiebreaker and let's get a win!

4-2 NJ, I'm calling it - I hope I'm right.

I am pumped. HUGE game tonight and to me is more of a test then the 3 game Ottawa-Philly-Buffalo test. Montreal is the hottest team in the league right now with a Vezina potential goalie. The Devils are playing stand on their head hockey and scoring, getting great goaltending and have a lot of confidence. Both two of the toughest teams to play down the stretch and two teams that will be feared in the playoffs.

Philly's win last night was huge for them as they now might have secured not being caught by NJ or Montreal. Maybe a loss to Toronto tonight could change that.

I feel a win tonight and the Devils will make a statement that they will settle for no less then 6th. Gionta will have a big game tonight.

GO DEVILS

Is Martin OK? He didn't play after the first against Pitt.

Edit : Well that was answered fast. Should have read the thread a little better. Sorry. :innocent:

4-2 Devils. Gionta figures out Huet early and gets two quick ones, plus an EN.

Montreal wins 5-2.

Brodeur is always top notch in Montreal... I hope we win like 1-0 :handclap:

Montreal wins 5-2.
Me too, I was going to say 4-1, got a real bad feeling about tonight.

New Jersey - 6
Montreal - 2

Elias continues his hot streak with 2 goals.

You read it here first. :)

Nice bit with Dennis Brodeur.

If the Devils lose this game in regulation and Tampa wins their game, they will not only slip down to seventh but to eighth since Tampa would have one extra win (41).

Janssen setting up a nice physical presence early.

Theodore is in colorado.
And? :dunno:

Man, Matt is horrible as a play-by-play guy. He's no Mike Emrick, but at least he's trying. I still can't believe he refered to Canada as the "Dominion of Canada". I haven't heard that term used in over 30 years.

And? :dunno:
It takes 4 games to score 6 goals on Huet.

It takes 4 games to score 6 goals on Huet.
Just between you and me, that was more wishful thinking than a prediction on my part. But while Huet has been great, I wouldn't say it's outside the realm of possibility that we score 6 on him.

Excellent play by Colin White.

Marty is on his game. The Habs are in for a long night.

Le But....Gionta!!!

I think Montreal is in for a long night too.

Gionta throws a puck to the crowd and a kid throws it back on the ice?!

Whats up with that? Montreal fans............

You know Aebischer was heckled his first game with the HABS?

class.........

Le But....Gionta!!!
Sweet! I'm glad I speak some French ;)

GIONTA SCORES!!!!!!

Devs 1-0

Not good. Down to a 5 on 3 against the Habs. Come on PK,pull this one off.

HOLY CRAP!!! I need a beer after that last 30 seconds. WOW!!!

HOLY CRAP!!! I need a beer after that last 30 seconds. WOW!!!
What happened?

how did that Koivu shot not go in?...freaking just clipped Brodeur's glove...wow man...wow

HOLY CRAP!!! I need a beer after that last 30 seconds. WOW!!!
start catching up bro...i started double ******* once the 5 on 3 was called

What happened?

Habs were really pressing during the 5 on 3. Marty made a huge save. Still 1-0 Devs after the 1st.

Lucky to get out of that first period without being down. Gotta cut down on those penalties, they'll end up killing us in the end.

Oh and: We need offense!

start catching up bro...i started double ******* once the 5 on 3 was called


I'm trying....I'm trying....gimme a change. :jump:

I'm trying....I'm trying....gimme a change. :jump:

Sounds like your already there. Atta boy.

More penalties please. 4-0 for Montreal..rofl.

I'm trying....I'm trying....gimme a change. :jump:
lets start a new drinking game...take a shot for every bogus call that goes against the devils... so thats 2 shots so far, right?

Sounds like your already there. Atta boy.


LOL, typo.....I guess I should have typed "chance"...Good pick up, Lou, LOL

lets start a new drinking game...take a shot for every bogus call that goes against the devils... so thats 2 shots so far, right?

I think it should be for every typo....I'd be passed out by now.

Did Klee get an extra penalty because Begin hurt his knee falling from the high stick?

I have to say with guys like Ryder and Ribiero on the team it's justice that somebody injures themselves embellishing a penalty.

Seriously though, what were those calls?

Marty is holding the fort, but we have to stop taken penalties. Keep it going boys.

Seriously though, what were those calls?

They say the Canadiens always get the calls at the Bell Center.

I don't think we really played all that well, except for the Great Brodeur of course. He absolutely robbed Koivu on that PP. Plus it helped that Koivu took an extremely lazy shot. The penalties will even up here, and I think if we can get another one (goal, not penalty) we should be OK, up 2-0.

Did Klee get an extra penalty because Begin hurt his knee falling from the high stick?

I have to say with guys like Ryder and Ribiero on the team it's justice that somebody injures themselves embellishing a penalty.

Seriously though, what were those calls?
There was a hook five seconds before Begin hurt his knee, the high stick he also took resulted in the second penalty.

There was a hook five seconds before Begin hurt his knee, the high stick he also took resulted in the second penalty.
I saw him fall back on his knees, and I felt it...that just hurt to watch, sorta like watching the foul ball go off Terrance Long's knee and watching his leg break back in the ALDS a few years ago

D@mn that was close. Keep the pressure Devs.

Le But....Gomez!!!

Scotty Gomez!!! 2-0

I'll drink to that man

Scotty Gomez!!! 2-0
That was an incredible individual rush up ice by Scotty!!

What a freakin' year Gomer is having.

:clap:

It takes 4 games to score 6 goals on Huet.

Are you freakin' kidding? Who the hell cares how he has been, every day is a new day, remember Patrick Roy was scored against 11 times in a fateful night in 96, and 7 in game 7 in 2002. Marty Brodeur has been scored on 6 times in 5 or 6 games this year, is Huet better than both of those two? Any game, anything can happen, you need to get off of Huet

I know what you are getting at here, but I think Roy only gave up 9 goals (http://www.tsn.ca/classic/news_story.asp?ID=145407&hubName=) in that last game as Hab. Don't want any Habs fans coming on here all bent outta shape on that one. LOL

brodeur....W..O..W...

i think i need a beer in each hand, that hard hat w/ the 2 beer cups on the side w/ that straw thing, and a pint glass in front of me :cheers:

2-0 Devs after 2 periods. Should be a great 3rd period coming up.

That was close. Good thing the period ended. We have to go at them early in the third, Huet or whatever is name is starting to give up rebounds. Can't sit back. And what about the Mexican Missile....Unbelieveable.

Toronto up on Philly 4-1 after 2. :clap:

Go Leafs Go!

Toronto up on Philly 4-1 after 2. :clap:

I'm sorry, I can never bring myself to cheer for the Laughs. I'm actually hoping they miss the playoffs.

Luke is having a huge game. I'm glad Lou got him as we needed one of those garbage-clearing defensemen. I'm sort of surprised the Devils are leading this game. They usually don't do well in places where the crowds are huge (Philly, Canadian cities).

Scotty Gomez's nickname is the Mexican Missile!

Marty always seems to bring his game when he plays in Montreal.

And on the Montreal forum the boring and clutch and grab posts are starting to pop up. Whenever the Devil are leading or win it always comes up. :shakehead

Agreed. It also works better this way since 99% of my friends are Leaf fans. ;)

Frenchie from Montreal here,

Just wanted to say that I hate playing your team, and that's a compliment... ;)

Good luck to the team that will be facing yours 'cause they'll seriously need it. The Devs are just playing playoffs hockey today, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Good Luck to you in the Playoffs.....

P.S By the way, sorry but even though you wish the Flyers to lose tonight, I just can't cheer for the Leafs as well for you, against my nature.... ;)

Well, I just replied to a guy on your board (2112) to his comments about the "trapping Devils". I thought the "NEW NHL" was to eliminate that style of play.

I'm still searching for that clutching and grabbing in this game, and I don't think I'll find it...hmm...

The Habs board on this site, they are whining like crazy about it. I told them that they have to find a better excuse than saying the Devs are trapping. It's typical actually, if their team is losing they try to find any excuse to explain why they are losig instead of pointing the blame on the acutal team.

Le But. Gomez!!!

Scotty...and Marty...

"We're not worthy!!" :bow:

Le But. Habs!!!

d'oh....

blocked shot right to the tape on Downey's stick...can't get them all

Blah, Marty deserved a shutout in this game...oh well 8 more minutes

Too bad, I would've liked to see Marty get the shutout. It's been awhile since he's had one.

Maybe but the other fans teams sometimes whine about us being divers, or having the refs on our side and so on....Everybody whines, I don't see a board better than an other....

The Standings makes strange bedfellows.

Hmm, the Habs goal just disappeared on nhl.com's scoring summary. That's bizarre.

Edit: they fixed it. Looks like they were changing the goal scorer and accidentally deleted the goal.

As by "other fans" I know you are talking about Laughs fans. I've watched alot of Habs games this year and from a Devs fan, I don't see your team take alot of "dives" or "have the refs on your side". I have a very good friend that's a Habs fan (Westcoasthabsfan) and I've told him many times that the Habs are looking very strong for the future. A very fast and exciting team in the years to come. Your team has had bad luck in recent years, but the future looks bright.

what happened to Gomers tooth?

Someone should tell the 3rd/4th liners not to try to score with 4 minutes left when we have the lead. Take it into the corner and kill time.

what happened to Gomers tooth?

It got chipped the other day...he stayed on the ice for a while while he was bleeding out of the mouth, I can't remember if it was a puck or a stick

ugh....

ugh...

can we hold it for 12.8 seconds?....

Wow. 3-2 now. This Habs team doesn't quit.

Ugh. Lukowich gets a hooking penalty 1 second after being hooked himself and the ****ing Habs score....

Ugh. Lukowich gets a hooking penalty 1 second after being hooked himself and the ****ing Habs score....
and now another penalty.... the refs are giving it to the habs ;)

what a freaking hockey game...

on that note...i think i need another beer after that last 30 seconds

GAME OVER!!!! 3-2 Devils.

Jeez Marty is so lucky to play behind such an impenetrable defence. :shakehead

What a game by Gomahhhhh. The Mexican Missle gets his 30th and the Devils get 2 very important points.

P.S Would anyone else rather play the Rangers (as a 6th seed) then the Sabers (as a 5th seed) in the playoffs, or is it just me?

HUGE win tonight by the Devils. This gives us the tiebreaker with the Habs if we finish with the same number of wins (and points). They need to work on not letting teams back in, I was getting nervous there at the end.

Very impressive win by the Devils. Excellent team effort. Very proud of the way they played. And Marty and the Mexican Missile are the player of the game for the Devils. I'm already pumped for tomorrow nights game. Good job boys. :clap:

Ugh. Lukowich gets a hooking penalty 1 second after being hooked himself and the ****ing Habs score....No kidding Vinnie. That was total BS. Koivu used his stick to impede Lukowich from getting to the puck. If the refs let that go, which I understand with less than a minute to play, they should let Lukowich's hook go.

Nevertheless, what a great victory tonight. That gives the Devils second tie-breaker versus Montreal. It also, I am pretty certain, gives the Devils the second 3-way tie-breaker with the Devils, Canadiens and Lightning.

The Habs board is still whining about the "trap". If the "trap" was so effective, wouldn't the Devils be 82-0-0. They just try to find any excuse to why they lose. I hate when people blame the "trap".

GG. Brodeur was sharp.

I'm already pumped for tomorrow nights game. Good job boys. :clap:Gomez executed the play that the legendary Hobey Baker made famous, a full-ice rush after building speed.

Boy I hope Lou can lock Gomez, Gionta and Elias into longterm contracts.

We did trap from the drop of the puck in the third ... as every team does when they have a lead late in a game. I really dont see what all the hub-bub is about.

Habs fans are just upset really because we now are 3-0 in the season series against them. The Devils have out scored them 13-9 in those games.

Wonder where Lemaire learned the "trap"? ;) :sarcasm:

wow, okay, still waiting on the call where Koivu hooks Lukowich.....is it coming?

wow, okay, still waiting on the call where Koivu hooks Lukowich.....is it coming?

It might.....keep waiting.....we still have another game against them.

We did trap from the drop of the puck in the third ... as every team does when they have a lead late in a game. I really dont see what all the hub-bub is about.

Exactly. The Devils play an effective trap once they get a lead. They are an extremely disciplined team where pretty much every player buys into the system. It's nothing to be ashamed of. What's wrong with shutting down another team once you have the lead?

Also, blaming the trap should be interpreted as a credit to the Devils. Essentially the Habs lost because the Devils played a better game.

Marty put on a show for hometown tonight. I really liked the way Luke played tonight, he really cleaned out the traffic.

Once I saw Gomez strip the puck away from the Habs defensemen I knew he was gonna score. It's his laid back personality that enables him not to panic when the opportunity arrives. I was hoping he'd pick up another goal so that he and Elias would combine for back-to-back hattricks.

We're ahead of Montreal now but we can't look at tomorrow's game as any less or else we're fighting for a spot again.

great game Devs! I had the pleasure of watching it in French LOL. Marty needs to bring that ***** into the playoffs!

Man, Matt is horrible as a play-by-play guy. He's no Mike Emrick, but at least he's trying. I still can't believe he refered to Canada as the "Dominion of Canada". I haven't heard that term used in over 30 years.Didn't the Governor General just address the Canadian Parliament this week?

I thought Loughlin did a good job, but calling play-by-play in a hockey game is tough. Things happen very quickly. Getting the start for Doc is like a goalie getting a start in place of Brodeur

That interview with Mr. Brodeur was great before the game. Chico Resch, a collector of hockey equipment and sweaters, offered Denis $15,000 for it half-jokingly.

Nice move by Gomez on the breakaway, I don't think Gio and Marty will be poking fun at him for that one.

The Devils played very well tonight. It was an important game, and they played like it was with the proper result - winning. Gionta, Gomez, and Brodeur were all particularly excellent; key players in the Devils' victory.

Unfortunately, NJ can't rest yet, the Rangers are coming tomorrow.
Another chance to stretch the streak. GO DEVILS!

That interview with Mr. Brodeur was great before the game. Chico Resch, a collector of hockey equipment and sweaters, offered Denis $15,000 for it half-jokingly.


The term " Dominion" hasn't been used in years. As far as I know, Canada hasn't been know as a "Dominion" since WWII. If I'm wrong somone correct me with a link to prove it.


In regards to the game, Matt didn't do too bad of a job. I guess we get spoiled with Doc calling the games.

Good game, Amazing night for Marty. Too bad for the mistake by Higgins/Streit and that Huet wasn't all too solid on that 1 on 1.

Magic number down to seven now?

Habs fans are just upset really because we now are 3-0 in the season series against them. The Devils have out scored them 13-9 in those games.

Actually, that's not it. We're just upset with the fact that you guys have taken the lead with the same amount of games played. It's also tough to see a winning streak as long as that one end with the likes of a hot goalie such as Brodeur.

Aside from that Higgins/Streit mistake, it was a pretty good game.

It's down to three actually.

You were jammy cnuts today, I thought MTL did enough to at least get a point.

Fair play to Brodeur he played a great game as he usually does against Montreal.

we were who in the what now?

That was hands down the best all-around game I've seen from Gomez this season. What a talented player he is. When he skates with that kind of confidence shift after shift, this team could make some genuine noise in the postseason. Terrific game by the Devils.

Good game guys, as usual, Brodeur plays awesome in his hometown.You guys have a non-flashy effective team, good work.

so i guess when gomez skated through the whole team wasnt "flashy" enough

the only negative i saw was the great fans montreal has... everytime they do sumthing in the game that was even a positive the crowd was loud anch cheery.

One thing I love about playing Canadian teams...

Their Canadian fans crash our boards and say very... Canadian... things. :biglaugh:

Just watched the game on the DVR and I loved Resch's riffing: "Brodeur's stick has been a magic wand tonight... a sword of fire". Hey Chico, don't bogart that bong. :propeller

Almost forgot. Congrats to Gomer on number #30. :handclap:

Im Canadian, and I didn't know what the heck he was talking about.

Damn I hate playing the Devils!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

You guys are so goo din you zone it gets on my nerves. lol Sme Habs fans say it's the treap but I think it's just the forwards backing up the defence. Good game guys, I was hoping for a goal in the last 12 seconds to bring it to OT. That would have been sweet.
