Preview (http://www.nhl.com/ice/preview.htm?id=2008020341&view=story)


Regardless of who’s in goal, the New Jersey Devils’ surest route to victory has been with a potent offense.The Devils seek to win their sixth straight game without Martin Brodeur when they visit the Atlantic Division rival Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night.

New Jersey (12-7-2) dropped five of its first six games after losing Brodeur to a torn biceps muscle, but has since recovered to win a season-best five in a row.While the Devils’ defensive production has remained steady, their offense has surged. New Jersey, which managed only eight goals in the first six games of Brodeur’s absence, is averaging 4.6 per game during the winning streak and has scored at least three times in each of the last five contests.

Three goals proved to be just enough at Florida on Wednesday night, when Johnny Oduya scored with 55.5 seconds left in overtime to give the Devils a 3-2 victory. Scott Clemmensen made 35 saves for New Jersey, which had to play the extra session after squandering a 2-0 lead in the final 2:19 of regulation.

“We found a way, and that’s important,” New Jersey coach Brent Sutter said. “We did a lot of good things, but we have to use it as a learning experience. When we’re in control like that, we can’t let it slip away.”

Brian Gionta and Travis Zajac scored in regulation for the Devils, who now have a chance to win six in a row for the first time since a nine-game winning streak from Nov. 17-Dec. 7, 2007. The Devils are 9-1-1 this season when scoring three goals or more, compared to 3-6-1 when they don’t.

All three of the low-scoring wins came in October, but one was a 2-1 overtime victory at Pittsburgh on Oct. 11, when Zach Parise scored the game-winner. Brodeur earned the win in that matchup but didn’t need to work particularly hard for it, as the Devils outshot the Penguins 49-15.

Pittsburgh’s Marc-Andre Fleury made a career-high 47 saves in that loss, but like Brodeur he is currently sidelined, having missed the last five games with an undisclosed injury. The Penguins, who had won all six of their November games before Fleury went down, have alternated losses and wins in his absence.

Sidney Crosby scored his ninth and 10th goals of the season and Evgeni Malkin assisted on both to give Pittsburgh a one-goal lead after two periods Friday night in Buffalo, but rookie goalie John Curry allowed two third-period goals as the Penguins fell 4-3. Curry, who stopped all 11 shots he faced Wednesday in relief of an ineffective Dany Sabourin to beat the New York Islanders in his NHL debut, made 28 saves in his first start but couldn’t hold the lead in a third period where the Sabres outshot the Penguins 10-3.

“You can’t blame him on any of the goals,” Crosby said. “He made some big saves and kept us in it. He did a great job.”
Pittsburgh (13-6-3) had plenty of chances, but failed to score in seven power-play opportunities. The Devils have won six of their last seven visits to Pittsburgh, with the lone exception a 7-1 loss on March 22, when Malkin and Ryan Malone each scored twice and the Penguins tallied five goals in the third period.

first! go devils

RG, can I take credit for the optimism train concept?:sarcasm: (you know the pic:nod:) No disrespect, hou you doin', go devs.

Go Devils!

I propose that when the Devils get fully healthy, we get an A-team theme going. :)

Here's to 6 in a row!

LGD!

if you dont know already, Gulitti is reporting the Zubrus isn't (didn't) taking part in the morning skate and doesnt know why.

i'm off to get a haircut and lunch. make sure you predict the score!

the Devils are 2-0 on this roadtrip and no one predicted the score of those two games, so do it and get it wrong and we win!

Here's what he had to say:

Dainius Zubrus is the only player not on the ice for the skate. There is no word yet on why he's not out there, but he bussed to the arena with the rest of the team for the skate, so hopefully I'll be able to talk to him. Assistant coach John MacLean filled in at center on the line with Patrik Elias and Brian Gionta, but they've left the spot open for the most part and all of the other lines are intact, which would lead me to believe that Zubrus is going to play, but that's just a guess on my part..

So Johnny Mac makin a comeback? :sarcasm:

Lets Go Devils!!!!!!!!!!!!

Having the flu sucks (especially since I got a damn flu shot)! So give me one more thing to feel good about! Also right before I got sick I finished painting the basement red, black, and white. When I get it properly decorated I will take pics for you guys......then anyone near NH (I don't think that anyone is) can come on over for games!

Anything that gets him away from coaching duties ;)

Tell me about it.. I got it on Wed and it ruined Thanksgiving.. I couldn't taste any food.. I still have it pretty bad and this is a big drinking weekend with everyone back from school.. Boo

We need this one; I don't want to deal with a suicidal board for 4 straight days...:sarcasm:

Any word on who is starting in goal?

Clemmensen.

First Pepe, now J-Mac... when's Richer coming? :yo:

Now this is the true test. Winning against Tampa and Florida is nice...but not that impressive. If the Devils can get two points tonight in Pittsburgh it will be a great sign that this team is for real. They really need to bring their A game for 60 minutes against the Pens.

Pittsburgh lost last night and they'll be fired up tonight in front of their own crowd...they'll be all over us. They Devils must weather the storm. They must be prepared.

GO DEVILS!

U know it doesn't protect u against all types of the flu right :)

Good test and can be a good confidence builder with a win tonight, but it will definitely be tought. Parise usually plays well against Pitt. I can see Zach having a two goal game.

Finally a big test, but not the biggest of blows if we lose tonight. We're not going to win all these games during the tough stretch so a loss and the end to the winning streak is coming.

Divisional games are important though, so I'd rather see the losses come against Buffalo and Montreal than the Pens and Flyers.

I finished painting the basement red, black, and white.

Awesome!! I will be buying a house in the next few years, and a "Devils viewing room" paited red and black will be a MUST criteria for the home selection. Steiner crap on the walls, leather recliners, etc... Cant wait.

Thanks very much for this. I'm currently in northern Vermont, so maybe this will let me see the game!!!!!

zubrus probably had a knot in his skate lace and couldn't get it out....hardly scratch worthy.

As long as we get a point tonight I will be happy. Gotta take at least 6 out of 10 points on the road.

Wow, so you don't think we will run the table? Such a debbie downer.:sarcasm:

You mean lower-body injury.

I'm really not expecting to win tonight. We haven't played since Wednesday and I am expecting us to be flat and behind the whole game. I hope they prove me wrong, but I just don't see it.

zubrus probably had a knot in his skate lace and couldn't get it out....hardly scratch worthy.

Devils center Dainius Zubrus skipped today's morning skate because he had a touch of the stomach flu, but he will play in tonight's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Devils coach Brent Sutter said.

"He's just not feeling 100 percent," Sutter said. "He's going to be fine. He wanted to go on actually. It was my decision not to let him go on. I thought it was best for him not to bother going out. Just relax this morning and he'll be ready to play tonight."

As long as he didnt shoot himself in the leg at some night club, or something stupid like that !!!!!!!!!!!!

"Big crowd out there tonight, let's really try to win this one, eh boys?"

well on the bright side i do remember hearing somewere that pitsburgs pp was not performing well. that being said we still need to stay out of the box.

Anything that gets him away from coaching duties ;)

zing! any news on pepes comeback??

anyways i say 4-2 devils! As most said big game from Zack and whoever is on his line
as he turns it up against the Pens.

"That Parise is so hot right now" in my best Mugotu voice;)

We could really use a big game from Clem tonight.

We could really use a big game from Clem tonight.

I got a feeling we will, he has surpassed all of my expectations and hes playing like he wants to be the number 2 guy when MB30 returns(wonder if the helmet will?)

Buffalo beat Pittsburgh last night, so their morale can't be that high right now.

Where is everybody? It's so quiet in here.

Let's go Devs! Keep this streak going!

By all accounts, this game shouldn't even be close, but backups normally give us more problem than Brodeur does, we'll see.

parise is such a beast against the pens

Yeah, it's slow today. I am actually watching this one, though. Mistakingly thought it was on Friday originally. It's going to be a very slow go to the 10th. Four days off after tonight, then 2 in 3 and another 3 days off... 2 in 10.

The scheduling has gotten very weird, more 3 in 4 nights than I remember in the past and more long stetches of inactivity.

i think i just need cj to text me updates:D. im starting to lean more towards the sake bar. plus, i gotta get the fudge outta my place. its saturday for christs sake.

Ya but its like 4 days till the next one lol. If u can handle the big long wait till next game go for it.................U can still go out after

****:laugh:
hahahaha.

Don't say that u probably jinx him like I did last time GO ANSSI!!!!!!!!
Nah, I usually just jinx Parise.

But when I jinx him, someone else steps up. It's a nice system.

how about this then, parise and salmela will have disgustingly horrible games tonite. there that should do it:D.

Pens will Lose 6-1, parise with a hatrick. :(

...........

Let the jinx Begin! :o:teach2:

Malkin with a hat trick, Crosby with a goal and three helpers.

clemmers pads look smaller than martys

Lower body illness, Chico?

Clemmer needs more upper body padding.

Yeah, this isn't going to work.

****. clemmer = :facepalm:

way to get undressed there :shakehead

**** already?

clemmers pads look smaller than martys

Black is slimming.

Here we go again

**** **** ****

Yeah, this isn't going to work.

:laugh:


:cry:

Yeah great.

Weekes please?

That was pretty much all-around bad. Clemmer sucks unless it's straight-ahead attack.

Clemer :facepalm:.............Should have went with Weekes!

Yeah great.

Weekes please?

weekes usually plays very well against the pens too

anybody else's feed suck?

The D coverage was bad too, though. Sal looked like he was in concrete boots and Martin didn't do anything to stop Crosby around the net and afterwards.

Martin and Clemmensen get undressed already...nice way to come out ready...:shakehead They got embarrased...

Oh boy.....

why is the camera so far away?

why is the camera so far away?

ya its very annoying.

Sal/Martin struggling badly

Yeah, somebody might wanna get that puck.

Salvador looking clueless out there right now

PK time. HELP!

Come on now GET A SHORTY !!!!!!!!!!!

Ridiculous....

Martin and Salvador did not come prepared to play tonight.....

Well, this is an auspicious start. A highlight goal from Crosby (how did he keep the puck all the way through) and handing a penalty to a team with the 5th best home PP in the league.

weak call...

Zajac is looking very good on the PK

Good KILL :handclap:

Puck is hitting Clemmer. Luck is all that's going to get him out of this one alive.

alright, lets go boys get a goal on the PP

Ex-Devil got caught with a stick up high so the Devils will get a chance to equalize.

It's time for the PSE&G Power Play!!!!

langs with a perfect tape to tape pass

to no one.

Good PP.

you know, the four man game on this PP is good. Notice I said four man game.

********

Salmela is trying to hurt the boards :laugh:

wow, what a puck moving PP and its over.

Nice pressure, stupid Penalty.

I don´t like where this is going.

Anssi going to take some ones head off :laugh:........................................... ........O come on refs!!!!!!!!

why is Tallackson on the ice?

WAKE UP SALVADOR

god damn

Salvador is looking absolutely horrible tonight.

Clemmer lucky again.

how come no one on the PK dives to block a shot. seems like theyre all afraid to get hit.

Great start Devs...:shakehead

how come no one on the PK dives to block a shot. seems like theyre all afraid to get hit.

so they don't get caught selling out

Clemmer lucky again.

Thats all Clemer gave him though :laugh:

http://www.portlandpirates.com/splash1.asp
Has nothing to do with the game, but I thought it was pretty sweet.

Two good kills would be good for momentum; but the Devils need to actually use it in order to get anything out of it. They also need to be mindful of taking any further calls. It's just playing with fire with this Penguins team.

Stop your show boating crosbaby.

the pens are playing ****ing pond hockey against us. pathetic.

oh man

don't get me wrong, he's fine when the play is in front of him, but anything the requires him to move is scary.... so basically, he's 100% the product of what happens in front of him.

Are you all choosing Weekes because Sidney Crosby, one of the league's best players, scored a goal earlier? Or are you all choosing Weekes for some other reason?

Seriously, Clemmensen has done nothing since getting starts to give Sutter reason that he should sit. So he's in until then.

Pretty much 99.9% of NHL goalies would have won those games. The only one you could say he had a hand in was the last one. It's a nice run to work with, but potentially having Weekes sit until 12/13 is crazy. He needs to get work because this will end, and when it does, it will end abruptly.

Not looking good man, not looking good at all. Lethargy everywhere.


Was Staal just crying? what a ****ing *****

staal legitly looked like he was going to cry

Um, Chico, they're not all on the road

Aside from the absolute ******** that 99.9% of NHL goalies would have won those games - did you suddenly forget the second period against Florida last Thursday? - your reason is...Weekes needs to get starts because it's been too long?

Maybe I should rephrase the question. What has Clemmensen done such that he should NOT get starts?

I don't mind clemmer either, he's been very solid.

pens have the same number of shots they had all of the last game vs them

Ok, Clemmer apparently got his sh** together.

Still an abhorrence of a goal to give up.

jesus christ malkin and crosby are scary

I honestly don't have a preference to either goaltender. But Clemmensen's rebound control is much better than Weekes'.

Like...what? Name a reason.

If you're going to go with "everyone should prove to me their *opinion*" BS, why don't you prove me wrong instead?

He should get starts... he shouldn't get every start though, unless you think he's going to be still starting the bulk of the games in February/March. It's unrealistic and he's definately been lucky. He's stopping at a better clip than Marty!

Like I said, I don't think he's bad at stopping random shots, but if they don't play well in front of him, he's not going to get results, watch his movement, it's brutal. Like in that last attack sequence.

Not that I really care, but wouldn't it make more sense to split Malkin and Crosby up when they need a goal, instead of putting them together, to spread out the scoring a little more?

is that spanish kid from the mighty ducks playing on the pens?

Another PP

I rather not type a 2 page essay on y i want Weekes over Clemer lol

Sigh. Can we go back to the Southeast please?

godard when crashing into the boards for no reason, the spanish kid from mighty ducks cant stop, you know ha ha...ehh nvm.

what?

They kid that couldn't stop for anything............Referring to the pen that hit the boards for no reason lol

edit: Bah u beat me to it

this PP... not as good as the last one

:facepalm:

Bad period. glad we are only down 1-0

Not a bad ending to the period............Just a weird goal to start the game.

wow, Bruins are kicking the crap out of the Red Wings

thanks for the heads up, never watched that movie.

Pittsburgh is doing an excellent job keeping the shots to the outsides and closing in on the lanes. We really need to start playing more physically and with a bit more speed, though I doubt the latter is even really possible.

PP looks better mostly though, good to see we're at least better with that.

We´re still in this game and I´m hoping for a penguins breakdown/ not showing up for the 3rd and maybe even 2nd like the last time we played them.

this PP... not as good as the last one

because the #2 unit was out there

****.... Biron handed Antropov a goal and I benched him today.

thanks for the heads up, never watched that movie.

:amazed: i suggest you rent it, its a fantastic piece of cinematic art

Why is Patrik wearing a hat? Did he get a bad haircut?

is that spanish kid from the mighty ducks playing on the pens?

Luis Mendoza...may have been! :sarcasm:

Its funny, I love the way Bombay yells "put it in Luis" when he finally stops, classic.

Well, I was expecting a slaughter after the first 2 minutes, but not that bad. The powerplay looked pretty awesome, despite not scoring.

:amazed: i suggest you rent it, its a fantastic piece of cinematic art

and who doesn't love Emilio Estevez???

How is it ********?

If you're going to go with "everyone should prove to me their *opinion*" BS, why don't you prove me wrong instead?

OK. Here's why you're wrong:

11/20 vs. Florida 3-1 WIN Clemmensen 23 Saves on 24 shots
11/23 at Tampa Bay 7-3 WIN Clemmensen 26 saves on 29 shots
11/26 at Florida 3-2 WIN Clemmensen 36 saves on 38 shots.

And the 6 goals given up are:
-A powerplay goal against where Frolik was all alone for the shot.
-Radim Vrbata in the slot putting the puck past Clemmensen's flank on an easy put-back.
-Martin St. Louis with a similar goal, only the puck bounced to him.
-A penalty shot goal by Ryan Malone
-Jay Bouwmeester's shot beat Clemmensen stick side
-David Booth pounded home a rebound

Most of those goals would have been prevented by the defense and you can only really argue that Clemmensen could have truly stopped the Frolik goal (he had a look at it, IIRC), the Malone goal (all alone, no excuses), the Booth goal (smother the puck!). Aside from that, he's been pretty solid in net. Sure, it hasn't been pretty. But last I checked, this is a results oriented business. Clemmensen has been getting results and therefore, he's getting most of the starts now. And you can never assume that any other goalie can always get the job done - just ask Olaf Kolzig, Joey MacDonald, Tomas Vokoun, and Jose Theodore for examples.

He should get starts... he shouldn't get every start though, unless you think he's going to be still starting the bulk of the games in February/March. It's unrealistic and he's definately been lucky. He's stopping at a better clip than Marty!

Yes, it's unrealistic to give him Marty's workload. But this is Scott Clemmensen's third straight start. It's not like he's going to get 10-15 starts in a row. Kevin Weekes played LAST FRIDAY. That's 8 days ago. It really isn't crazy to have him not play to 12/13 if Clemmensen is doing well enough in net.

Y do I want to watch something with NEW YORK in the title of that show.

In other news: The Penguins BMW commercial is even worse than everyone Gomez has ever done.

geeeez....what a great period eh...

The greatest commercial of all time!

Without the penalties we would have only 3-4 shots on goal. I don't like this game.

OK. Here's why you're wrong:

11/20 vs. Florida 3-1 WIN Clemmensen 23 Saves on 24 shots
11/23 at Tampa Bay 7-3 WIN Clemmensen 26 saves on 29 shots
11/26 at Florida 3-2 WIN Clemmensen 36 saves on 38 shots.

And the 6 goals given up are:
-A powerplay goal against where Frolik was all alone for the shot.
-Radim Vrbata in the slot putting the puck past Clemmensen's flank on an easy put-back.
-Martin St. Louis with a similar goal, only the puck bounced to him.
-A penalty shot goal by Ryan Malone
-Jay Bouwmeester's shot beat Clemmensen stick side
-David Booth pounded home a rebound

Most of those goals would have been prevented by the defense and you can only really argue that Clemmensen could have truly stopped the Frolik goal (he had a look at it, IIRC), the Malone goal (all alone, no excuses), the Booth goal (smother the puck!). Aside from that, he's been pretty solid in net. Sure, it hasn't been pretty. But last I checked, this is a results oriented business. Clemmensen has been getting results and therefore, he's getting most of the starts now. And you can never assume that any other goalie can always get the job done - just ask Olaf Kolzig, Joey MacDonald, Tomas Vokoun, and Jose Theodore for examples.



Yes, it's unrealistic to give him Marty's workload. But this is Scott Clemmensen's third straight start. It's not like he's going to get 10-15 starts in a row. Kevin Weekes played LAST FRIDAY. That's 8 days ago. It really isn't crazy to have him not play to 12/13 if Clemmensen is doing well enough in net.

It is crazy because game-shape wise, Weekes will be just as out of it as he was coming in for Marty. I just feel he got the job done against weak teams when the team in front of him was playing well, with the exception being the second half of the last game, where they were not playing well.

I think against good teams, the results are going to be more like the Washington game, and while I agree to ride it while you can, I think Weekes needs work and when I watch Clemmer, I don't see anything along the lines of "WOW, I need this guy in net".

He's just in a streak where he does no wrong, even in situations like Frolik earlier in the game at the Rock, where he plays something into a certain goal, fate intervenes and keeps it out.

The greatest commercial of all time!

The Talbot one?

Yeah, right.
