Wow, you got this up early. Please tell me you were up late last night, and did not get up at like 5 am to post the GDT ;)

And the game is on yahoo (yay!) for all us poor souls who are forced to watch/listen via the internet.

Tomas Kopecky decided to break his collarbone in 4 different places, and will be out for 2-3 months. I don't know who will be in his spot.

1 PM starts FTL.

I hope that Gionta gets his 100th goal today. I am going to the game!!

Jiri Hudler

All right, it's almost game time. Go Devils! :devdance:

LETS GO DEVILS! BOO THE RED WINGS! 95 all over again :D

http://www.comcast.net/sports/nhl/hockeylive/

On Hockey Live today, good luck guys. But I hope you lose to Red Wings :p:

http://www.comcast.net/sports/nhl/hockeylive/

On Hockey Live today, good luck guys. But I hope you lose to Red Wings :p:

Also on yahoo which tends to have a better pic.

The Devils go on the PP early and do NOTHING with it. And just as it ends, Jim Dowd will sit for hooking a Red Wing right in front of the ref. So Detroit goes on the PP.

PP UPDATE: Detroit is a really, REALLY good team. Fortunately, Brodeur (and the Devils) is also really, REALLY good

Detroit leads in shots 6-0 5 minutes into the game.

Anyone else having problems getting yahoo to work? I try to open it up and I just get a white window that won't do anything.

Brodeur with three good saves on this powerplay.

Anyone else having problems getting yahoo to work? I try to open it up and I just get a white window that won't do anything.

I just tried it and saw the same thing you mentioned above. Not sure whats going on with their link. Actually try this... Right click and then select reload. Worked after I did that.

ZAJAC BREAKAWAY! But Hasek stops him (also the first Devils shot on goal in this game).

NJ really needs to start putting rubber on Hasek. Detroit is already threatening for a goal.

I just tried it and saw the same thing you mentioned above. Not sure whats going on with their link. Actually try this... Right click and then select reload. Worked after I did that.
Yeah, I got it to work, I went into the score page and used a different link. Got it going just in time to see the Zajac breakaway.

How did Datsyuk not score on that last play?

What a diving save on Datsyuk!

Defense, help Marty out! 8 minutes in and Detroit already has 9 quality shots on net!

Zajac sucks in real life, in NHL 07, he'd score on that break away every time.

If Clemmy was in, this one would be 2-0 Detroit.

I haven't been watching for long, but it certainly looks like Detroit is carrying the play. Come on Devils, wake up!

Zajac sucks in real life, in NHL 07, he'd score on that break away every time.

Yeah, that was a pretty pathetic breakaway by him.

I haven't been watching for long, but it certainly looks like Detroit is carrying the play. Come on Devils, wake up!

The PP the Devils had was a complete joke....Marty is the only reason why this game isn't 9-0. Marty needs support infront of him.

The crowd is loud, but the Devils take another penalty. Brylin hooks Zetterberg and Detroit goes on the PP again.

The Red Wings had FOUR shots on their first PP. I am worried. Someone, hug me.

enough with the penalties.

Penalty killed, the Devils just had TWO shots on Hasek in a row. Really! (Well, OK, Gomez' shot technically went wide but it was so close)

I know it's not much, but it's all the Devils have so far. WAKE UP! You won't get a second shot at Detroit this season, IIRC!

Shots on net
NJ 3
Det 11

I miss the Devils old, rock-solid defense. Remember the days when they would only allow 12 shots on goal in a game?

I miss the Devils old, rock-solid defense. Remember the days when they would only allow 12 shots on goal in a game?

I've come to accept that this Devils team is playoff bound...but nowhere near a cup contender.

In NJ's defense uh...defense, they aren't playing Toronto. These are the Detroit Red Wings.

Lang will sit 2 minutes for a trip and the Devils will get a power play. Will they get more shots than Detroit on this man advantage? WHO KNOWS?!

UPDATE: Two opportunties beat Hasek and miss the net! Nutbunnies!

I've come to accept that this Devils team is playoff bound...but nowhere near a cup contender.
With Marty, the team is always a Cup contender. And getting Matvichuk back should also help. It just seems like lately they've been running around in their own zone too much.

Also, I am really liking our fourth line lately. Dowd adds a lot more hockey sense.

Paul Martin is freaking terrible.

Hideous turnover by Martin. And I like Parise trying to hit him, but he only caught the leg.

Martin's not having a good last 2 weeks.

Parise is sitting for tripping and Detroit goes on the PP as of...now.

ZAJAC! Why didn't you SHOOT?!

GOmer can't hit the net today, niether can Zajac or the rest of the team.

Hideous turnover by Martin. And I like Parise trying to hit him, but he only caught the leg.

Yeah that was a pretty dirty hit by Parise... not the kind of thing I like to see from anyone on the Devils.

Too many hooking penalties early on. Devils need to pick up their skating legs.

Pando with the spin-o-shoot-it-wida.

Offensive chances by...JAY PANDOLFO! He was so close. Good thing for Detroit he didn't score because NJ usually wins when Jay Pandolfo scores.

NJ really needs to turn it up, they were solidly out-worked in this period. ESPECIALLY on offense. They did a bit better as the period went on; but every Devil should thank Martin Brodeur that the Red Wings haven't gone up by 1 to 4 goals.

Doc's right, that was the best first period so far all year in terms of entertainment value. All that excitement without the little red light going on!!!

Yeah that was a pretty dirty hit by Parise... not the kind of thing I like to see from anyone on the Devils.
Yeah it was definitely not a good hit. He needs some hitting lessons from White.

The Devils play improved a little there towards the end, looks like they started to get their legs under them.

I wish we had a dman with half the talent of Lidstrom.

Doc's right, that was the best first period so far all year in terms of entertainment value. All that excitement without the little red light going on!!!

Ya, mainly because of Detroit's play. I wasn't impressed with the Devils play in that period. Marty was solid...he came up with huge saves to bail the team out.

Ya, mainly because of Detroit's play. I wasn't impressed with the Devils play in that period. Marty was solid...he came up with huge saves to bail the team out.

I was. I thought we capitalized on the Red Wings' give aways pretty well as evidenced by Zajac's two chances and Pandolfo's one-timer, as well as the penalty Gomez drew on Lang.

I wish we had a dman with half the talent of Lidstrom.

A lot of teams want that.

Stan Fischler is officially off his rocker

Stan Fischler is officially off his rocker
I don't listen to him anymore. Intermission is the time to go get food.

Stan Fischler is officially off his rocker

What did he say?

What did he say?

He said in a really serious tone that Tampa Bay's two goalies are quite often mistaken for swiss cheese. It was hysterical.

What did he say?

He called the first period of action "fire-wagon hockey" by both teams. Said that Roenick's banner will be raised on the Staten Island Ferry!

Stan Fischler is officially off his rocker

He said in a really serious tone that Tampa Bay's two goalies are quite often mistaken for swiss cheese. It was hysterical.

This isn't a sign of being off one's rocker, it's a sign someone has been paying attention to Tampa Bay.

Seriously, Denis and Holmqvist in net is no way to go through life and the playoffs, son.

Martin St. Louis Cardinals will get you sent to the old person's home, though.

Draper hits the post!

For those watching the game, nice to see they still have the line combos from Game 4 in 1995. Who knew we put Brylin as a 2nd line center then too?

For those watching the game, nice to see they still have the line combos from Game 4 in 1995. Who knew we put Brylin as a 2nd line center then too?

???? Zajac is playing at center, with Brylin playing RW on the third line?

In any case, Detroit is still really friggin' good.

So many missed opportunities. Madden has to score on that play.

Dominik Hasek makes a great looking save on a Mike Rupp shot!

SHOT! REBOUND! MADDEN HITS THE POST ON THE OPEN NET!!!! Oooooooooooh!!! (Note: Doc said the shot hit Hasek's arm, not the post. OK.)

UPDATE: Detroit goes on the PP. Oh, boy.

Vintage Domino........and damn it Madden!

How bout that 4th line that's been generating scoring chances these past few games.

John "I need to score 20 goals this year" Madden :banghead:

???? Zajac is playing at center, with Brylin playing RW on the third line?

Just referencing last year, when Brylin was between Parise and Langenbrunner or... Kozlov? I forget.

4th line gets some great shots, and Hasek stones Madden point blank. Ramussen will sit for two, since you can't check a player in the middle of the ice when the puck is along the boards.

Devils kill the penalty and that's good.

Devils start a four-on-two and that's good.

But the pass bounces off Elias' stick which ends the rush and that's not so good.

To be fair, NJ's looking better this period.

UPDATE: Johnny Oduya will sit for 2 for what I believe is hooking.

Another Red Wings PP coming up.

Eh, I don't really care for that call. Oduya will sit for holding.

And just as quick, Holmstrom will sit for interfering with Marty

We need to stop taking penalties. Aside from that, the Devils look much better.

Stop taking penalties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT:Penalty Red Wings 4-on-4

playing with fire, but saved by Mr best in front of the net.

Tomas Holmstrom gets caught interfering with Brodeur. Can't touch Marty, asshat. So he'll sit 2 and we have a 4-on-4 for 1:48.

UH OH: Brian Rafalski takes a blow to the head and he's shaken up. I hope he's OK.

Anyone else understand how a trade of Gomez for Datsyuk would help both teams out?

http://www.nypost.com/php/pfriendly/print.php?url=http://www.nypost.com/seven/12162006/sports/devils/center_swap_fits_for_devils_devils_mark_everson.ht m

Both pretty chincy calls IMO.

Rafalski hurt

Madden and Rafalski both came out on the wrong end of two different hits.

Madden's had a great game so far. Missed a wide open net and now injured Rafalski.

Here comes the Janssen contingent crying that he needs to be around.

Rafalski's still on his knees out on the ice. Ouch.

Madden hits Sammulson, who riccochets into Rafalski. Might've hurt his neck? He seems woozy. Madden also got popped by Kronwall, clean hits all around.

The only way I see it is that it helps the Devils Salary Cap wise with Matvichuk. I have no clue how it helps Detroit though.

Gomez in Detroit with Zetterberg in that system is a 90+ point player. Datsyuk here is a hole lot of nothing.

Hasek was called for one of these earlier in the week hahahaha, and then his reaction, LOL

Nevermind.

EDIT: Hasek caught on the Brodeur rule.

Dominek loses it.

Woah! Hasek flips out! 2 for delay of game, and maybe 2 more for unsportman-like

EDIT: Yep, 4 minute power play here. Put it in!

Hasek burned by the dumbest rule in the game.

Hasek with quite a temper.

Well, it's TIME for the Devils to take advantage. These don't come often and if NJ wants to win - and I hope they do - they gotta beat Hasek.

BTW has Mary ever been caught by the Brodeur rule?

If the Devils can't score here, somethings really wrong.

I know we're 0-3 on the PP today, but ZERO shots??

Oduya and Martin on the points.

Hasek burned by the dumbest rule in the game.

I think it was Marty that suggested that once a goaltender got the puck within the trapazoid, they should be able to go where they want behind the net...the same should be for getting the puck infront of the goal line.

BTW has Mary ever been caught by the Brodeur rule?

Once against Ottawa last year a second after Hasek got called by it in the same game, Don Van Massenhoven made the calls.

SCOREEEEEEE!

BTW has Mary ever been caught by the Brodeur rule?

Yes, once or twice. The first time he was called for it, his stick never physically touched the ice, but he got called anyway.

Gomez shows signs of offensive life. Good to see Rafalski back out there after he left the ice earlier.

Hey, two points for my hockey pool.

GOMEZ!

It just slides in!

Where's your tantrum now Hasek? His facial expression after the goal was priceless! Was the ****-fit worth it, Hasek?

1-0 NJ! Whoo!

Score! Was that before the first PP ended?

Goal in the first 2 minutes. Let's get another.

Lindstrom totally screening Hasek on that play.

SCORE! Gionta from the point, might've gone off of Gomez. Rafalski was back on the ice, so I assume he's ok now.

Ole!

2nd PP unit is now Parise-Zajac-Brylin

Hasek is getting more work this period, he just stopped about 3 or 4 more Devils' opportunities since the goal.

This is good, I hope NJ keeps it up. Also, I hope they don't take anymore dumb penalties.

I wonder if Claude was on his hands and knees during the first intermission...pleading with the guys to play better. :teach:

Parise denied of a penalty shot opportunity. Lebda grabbed onto and held him right as Zach went for the shot, but the Devils get no call.

AND PLAY CONTINUES WATCH: Parise with a breakaway but is knocked into Hasek from behind! No call!

Keep on shooting and skating, NJ. You are clearly getting the better of Detroit by doing so.

Parise denied of a penalty shot opportunity.

He ran over Hasek at the same time. Call it even?

I think it should have been a penalty, I don't know if he had a clear break. And I think he only ran into Hasek because he got hooked and shoved. But hey, that's my view, clearly the refs didn't see it that way.

This game is a perfect example of why the stat of Save Percentage is flawed. Hasek has saved 15 of 16 shots and Brodeur 22 of 22. However would anyone here say that Brodeur has been playing SO MUCH better than Hasek? Hell no.

He ran over Hasek at the same time. Call it even?

That was because he was hooked and forced into him. However it was not a penalty shot opportunity, Parise didn't have a clear breakaway. But considering the way the game has been called it should have been a penalty.

This game is a perfect example of why the stat of Save Percentage is flawed. Hasek has saved 15 of 16 shots and Brodeur 22 of 22. However would anyone here say that Brodeur has been playing SO MUCH better than Hasek? Hell no.

Uh...

I'd say Brodeur has been the better goaltender, he singlehandedly stopped Detroit from going up anywhere from one to three goals early in the first period.

It looked like the two players were even to me. Either way, less than 2 minutes left in the period. Langenbrunner has a three on two, and takes a slapshot from the circle :shakehead

Uh...

I'd say Brodeur has been the better goaltender, he singlehandedly stopped Detroit from going up anywhere from one to three goals early in the first period.

I don't know man. Brodeur has been incredible but Hasek has made half a dozen saves which made me go "oh my... how the hell did he do that!"

We better enjoy this 3rd period. We may never again be able to watch the two best goaltenders ever (IMO) face off against each other.

Gomez sez the game is a good hockey game. It's fast, good reffing, good defense, and two of the best goaltenders ever. What does he know, he's a hockey player? ;)

Anyway, much better performance in this period by the Devils. The Devils got one past Hasek on a power play they should have scored on; and began to put more pressure on Hasek whilst nullifying Detroit's talent up front. They will need to continue this for another 20 and get another goal if they want to win, IMO.

More annoying advertisement on the Devils telecast... Get your tickets now for the NY Nicks with the take me home chorus and lame drum machine or the little kid at Christmas totally freaking out over a toy robot to sell more BMW's?

If I have to see the stupid f'in Knicks commercial one more time...I'm gonna gouge out my eyes with a fork. The worst commercial in the world besides for that freakin John Mellencamp disaster they play 500 times every Sunday.

The Knicks suck something awful

Announcer: Your 2006-2007 New York Knicks. No First Round Pick. No Playoffs. Why Bother?

Brian Gionta. The new pointman for the powerplay?! Burns used to use Rolston at the point in Boston. Anything is better then seeing Paul Martin shoot one into the back of his own player or fire another one wide.

Oduya dives in a good way to make a defensive play on a rushing Kris Draper. Brodeur with a save. The Devils then dump on a line change.

This is ouuuuuuur country...

JOHN MELLANCAMP SUCKS UPDATE: David Hale will sit 2 minutes for a check from behind, I do declare. This will be Detroit's sixth - ulp - power play.

Gio was only back on the point because Langs and Rafalski had both pinched.

Interesting story regarding a game between the Devils and Sabres. Both Brodeur and Hasek got a shutout, and both traditionally keep the pucks of games they get the shutout in. Marty gets the puck, what does he do? Saws the puck in half and gives the other half to Hasek.

these refs really like the sound of their own whistles, eh?

Julien hasn't been giving the fourth line as much ice time in this game.

If I have to see the stupid f'in Knicks commercial one more time...I'm gonna gouge out my eyes with a fork. The worst commercial in the world besides for that freakin John Mellencamp disaster they play 500 times every Sunday.

Agreed. That commercial makes me envious of Helen Keller.

I remember Brodeur talking about that in one of the special features on the 2003 Devils Stanley Cup DVD where he's showing off his trophy room. Cool thing to do on Brodeur's part.

Uh...we have a penalty. The refs are conversing.

OK, the puck was DEFLECTED out of play, so no delay of game. Whew. Devils do NOT need a second man in the box right now.

I know how much I hate the Dolans, I can only imagine how much Knick fans hate them. Can you imagine having the Post put your VP/GM/Coach in a clown costume on the back page of the Sunday paper? And have the guy still employed? And I loathe the Knicks, so this is no sympathy talk from me.

I was about ready to scream if they called that delay of game.

Way to keep the one goal lead alive Marty.

Marty is God.

Brodeur!!! RIDICULOUS save.

Thanks to the Dolans (and Time Warner), no NFL Network free preview for those with cable so they could watch Rutgers in the Texas Bowl. Jim Dolan SUCKS.

You know who doesn't suck? Martin Brodeur. Another game, another ridiculous save, ho hum.

You know who doesn't suck? Martin Brodeur. Another game, another ridiculous save, ho hum.

Is that confirmed that they won't show the Rutgers game? I thought they were close to working something out....?

It's sad that this probably the last Brodeur vs. Hasek match-up. Seeing them play against each other reminds me how much the butterfly sucks.

Marty is God.
Couldn't have said it better :bow:

Marty is God.

He's better than god, god couldn't make that save, haha.

White is having an outstanding game today.

Thanks to the Dolans (and Time Warner), no NFL Network free preview for those with cable so they could watch Rutgers in the Texas Bowl. Jim Dolan SUCKS.

You know who doesn't suck? Martin Brodeur. Another game, another ridiculous save, ho hum.

The blame for that goes to that dolt who runs the Big East. Signing up for the 3rd place team to go to a bowl that has never even existed before and has the distinction of being the only bowl game of consequence NOT on ESPN.

If you want, you can come to my house and watch it I have DirecTV!

Yeah, but the lighting in the arena was boring.

You know what is getting boring? Power play after power play. Christ guys, lets go!

EDIT: Thanks Jamie.

Another Devils penalty. Jamie Langenbrunner will sit for two. I'M TIRED OF THIS LACK OF DISCIPLINE. It's a miracle Detroit hasn't capitalized on their last 6 power plays.

Is that confirmed that they won't show the Rutgers game? I thought they were close to working something out....?

Well, there's still over a week to hash this out, but Time Warner and Cablevision rejected the NFL Network's offer of a free preview for the week of the Texas Bowl. The cable companies rationale was that it wouldn't be fair for them as it could be used for leverage in later negotiations. Thank heavens I don't have cable (and I do have the NFL-N), otherwise I'd be pissed about this.

White is having an outstanding game today. I especially liked the hit he had behind Hasek earlier.

Devils! Penalties! Bad!

what happened to the Devils' discipline? They've taken as many penalties in the last 2 games as they normally do in 10!

Playing with fire, beautiful.

Another damn penalty

And a stupid one goes in :cry:

Datsyuk was in the right place for that rebound (bank shot - Schneider's shot went wide) and just hammers it in the wide open net.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

Time for the response, NJ.

FUN STAT: Detroit is outshooting NJ 30-19. Eeeeep.

Arggghhh!!

well, it's 1-1 on chinsy penalties.

Luko the clown inexplicably tries to clear the puck right down the center of the ice. Holy smokes. Everson correctly predicts the two goal scorers with his latest column in the Post.

This may be the first game all year where we won't have the clear advantage in goal for a shootout. Because that's where this game is going.

Devils discipline sucks lately. There is no excuse for taking bad penalties.

BULLRIDING @ MSG??????

:biglaugh:

The Dolans are a complete joke.

I hope this doesn't go to a shootout. Although Gionta pwns the shootout.

****.

No shootout today.

****

Brad Lebda sneaks one in through the eye of a needle!

I'm amazed it went in! I'm amazed that pass went across the rink like that without obstruction! Wow!

It's time for a response, Devils. Like, an EQUALIZER.

I hope this doesn't go to a shootout. Although Gionta pwns the shootout.

It may not now. 2-1 Wings

I hope this doesn't go to a shootout. Although Gionta pwns the shootout.

I do.

Why were 3 Devils at the blue line? Marty was SLOWWWWWW getting across.

2-1 Detroit. That penalty killed the Devs momentum.

:madfire: :madfire: :madfire:

Now would be a good time for the EGG line to score.

Note to the Devils: It's not a 40 minute game. Wake the **** up.

Is that right that we only have 1 shot in the third period?!?!

I do.

Why were 3 Devils at the blue line? Marty was SLOWWWWWW getting across.

Kronwall made a sick pass right at the blueline that no one on the Devils anticipated.

Shots 3rd period Det 8 NJ 1

Not good.

Paul Martin went to the Brian Rafalski school of shoot lame wrister 20 feet wide.

That Hudler kid is going to be good. The dancing around of defenders was cute, but Marty told him no when it came to the shot.

Now it's 11-1 in shots

Paul Martin went to the Brian Rafalski school of shoot lame wrister 20 feet wide.

I'm really getting tired of Paul Martin's crappy shots and even crappier overall play. To the bench with him, I say..

Trade Paul Martin....Im sure someone will take him

Can't tie this up without shots. Did Hudler just turn Pandolfo inside out on that last rush?

The Devils have now let up 80 shots in their last 2 games. The Devils normally average about 27 shots per game.

I worry about tomorrow's game with NY. As well as today's as it's not over.

Come on you Devils, get the equalizer!

I'd like to see Julien give Hale more of a chance to make an impact in games. Up his ice time Claude.

We need a prayer to tie this up.

devils have lost to every good team this year. it is time to re-evaluate the talent and or the coach of this team.

this club is going nowhere fast

Well, power play begins with p. Robert Lang hooks Parise and the Devils get a power play!

SCORE, DAMN YOU!

Weak call. gotta score, (duh)

Okay, Devils get a chance, now they need to capitalize. Go Devils!

now or never boyos

Power Play... Do Your Job Dammit!

Sad but true. They'll keep beating up on the Florida's of the league and people will think they are better than they are.

This PP looks like its moving in slow motion.
Langenbrunner has been horrible today, the goat (in my mind).

Only 1 shot in the entire 3rd? Jesus.

How come the devils always come up with the worst power play effort at the most crucial points in games.

6 on 3. If we cant score now... then forget it.

If they can't beat em, at least Gomez can fall on the Dominator.

I cant believe that neanderthal is still playing.

6 on 3.

I'm shaking... so... nervous!!!

30 seconds left and Detroit gets called for ANOTHER penalty.

Guys, this couldn't be anymore of a gift. CAPITALIZE!

Interference on Chelios. 5 on 3

Gomez misses!

Gomez you stink!!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh, too many people in front and Gomez couldn't get it past them all!

NOTE: Goal would have been disallowed due to Gionta's handpass. So...uh...uh...I don't know anymore.

Dammit.

Oh well. I guess we get to go through this again tommorow.

Now I know why other players hate Gionta.

Gio slew footed the puck in the crease. Damn him. Alberts was right.

Damn Gionta with a hand pass.

When is the last time new jersey beat detroit? win 5 in a row, then lose 3

Sigh.

Well, it's a better loss than just puckering; but the Devils still lost and they get to go to NY with three straight losses.

Sigh.

I should've never tuned in to see this catastrophe.

When you try and sit on a 1 goal lead on the Detroit Red Wings in the third period, and don't once threaten to pad the lead, more often then not it will backfire. Bad loss, and they had better come out firing tomorrow against the Rangers.

I want Lou back behind the bench

Brodeur deserved a better fate then that one. Tough loss. Worse then the ones in Buffalo and Boston imo.

Terrible job done by the Devils. They don't play a full game and they were undisciplined. They lose another game they should have won.

That was sooooo frustrating to watch. This team has serious consistency issues. And they waste another great effort by Marty.

you are right so now they stink with a lead too.

Julien like i said is a terrible coach for the NHL, so am not going to get frustrated anymore while he is the coach, I expect them to miss playoffs with julien

I want Lou back behind the bench

Why not Burns?!?! He says he's ready to coach. Lemme start the chant...Bring Back Burns!! Bring Back Burns!! Bring Back Burns!!

I thought this team was turning it around after their West Coast Road trip.

The loss to Buffalo... I was able to understand. The loss to Boston, and now this... I dont get it.

I have to disagree, it wasn't as if the Devils were trying to sit on a lead and not trying to add to it. Hasek played very well aside from the one goal. Detroit was flying through the first period and third period. When you get as many power plays as they did, that's not hard to do - NJ had to spend so much time killing penalties and Detroit had all the time to move the puck and make plays. If anything, NJ should be lucky they didn't lose 4-1 or 5-1 - thanks to Brodeur's stellar play throughout much of the game.

I'm now firmly in the camp of moving Paul Martin to make some room for Richard Matvichuk. Move Martin plus one of our forwards with hopes of sparking some offense. What would it take to get Shane Doan for the right wing? David Hale didn't see much ice time which is troubling. Why is he getting the white glove kid treatment from Julien? Let the kid develop.

I've gotta say I'm with you. I keep waiting for him to turn it around, but it's more than a third of the way through the season and he's still struggling.

I wouldn't mind at all either, though we'd need to pick up a puck-moving dman from somewhere.

They had 7 powerplays each so it's not like NJ did't get their chances.

Pittsburgh and Washington are now only one point back, and the way they've been playing tomorrow's game is a sure loss. Maybe we'll get a first round pick this year after all.

Talk like that disturbs me.

Our PP sucks though. NJ would rather play a game with zero PPs than one with 14.

I overslept and missed most of the game (Central Time Zone so it wasn't as bad ;)) but I caught the last ten minutes of the third. The breakout is terrible when Gomez isn't on the ice, I'd prefer it if Langenbrunner didn't carry the puck into the zone when EGG and Rafalski are on the ice. Martin...boy am I glad we didn't sign him longterm this summer. If you notice every time we set up behind the net for ten seconds, it's him with the puck. It's like he doesn't want it and when he has it he doesn't know what to do with it.

I'm getting frustrated with these games where NJ needs one goal in the last 15 minutes to be back in it and they do NOTHING to even come close to tying it. :banghead:

what the hell is wrong with you man? i hate fans like you so what we lose a few games in a row and already " we might get the first round pick " are you kidding me? teams go in and out of slumps you cant count them out because they lost 3 in a row 1 game being without marty .


talk like this pisses me the fuk off

I would tend to agree with you, but they only took 2 penalties in the third period and STILL only managed one shot (until the very end when they had 3 more skaters on the ice). The puck was constantly in our end and when we did finally get possession, there wasn't even a threat of pressing for a goal. They were wayyy too passive....you could see them losing the lead way before it happened.

I've gotta say I'm with you. I keep waiting for him to turn it around, but it's more than a third of the way through the season and he's still struggling.

I wonder what other teams' fans think of his value... anyone want to start a thread on the trade rumors board?

Fair enough. The Devils clearly needed to be more aggressive on offense. And a lot simpler. The forwards have this idea that passing on a 3-on-2 or a 2-on-1 is critical. Yes, it is in SOME cases. But if you are having trouble getting shots on net, TAKE THE SHOT! With respect to even strength play, the Devils forwards like to force the puck into the slot or make a difficult pass through traffic to make a play. If a Devil is in the slot and the pass gets through, great; but often times that doesn't happen. Ergo, they don't get many shots and are too passive on offense.

LOL that's a funny picture, I noticed their faces in live action like that. Umm, I didn't even know that the Pistons and Nets were playing each other IN Jersey tonight, that's a bit odd that it worked out that way.

The Rangers are losing 8-1 as I type this....just over 5 mins left in the 2nd.....the Devils better come out firing tomorrow...because the Rangers are gonna be ticked losing so bad in Toronto.

We'll make Weekes look like Patrick Roy tomorrow night with the way we score goals...

We've already let that happen to us in 2002 when he was with Carolina.

3-0 lost to the Rags tomorrow. Marty facing 85 shots and the Devils putting up 17. Another great showing by this heartless bunch.

I predict Lou puts a picture of Pat Burns in Julien's office reminding him of where his place is in the Devils organization... and how that position can quickly be filled.

Under said picture is a list of objectives:
1. Win the Stanley Cup.
2. Be Division Champions/Make playoffs.
3. Beat division rivals in playoffs.

First Red Wings win in NJ in 13 years. Buffalo hadn't had much success at all against them either until the other night just the same. Some real eye opening games playing out this month for Lou to step back and reflect on.

1 shot in the 3rd isn't going to do it... Our offense is so sluggish and uncreative relative to the skilled players we have, it is embarrassing. And you can't sit back on a 1 goal lead against a team with a dynamic offense like the Red Wings. Just retarded. I know the players have to be held accountable, but methinks coaching is a big reason we don't score more or play an entire 60 minutes of motivated hockey. Can't take entire peiods off in this league and expect to win hockey games. :shakehead :shakehead :shakehead

Truth hurts I guess.

You're joking right?

No. It's not unreasonable to think this team might miss the playoffs.
