Ok, I've never played hockey so I might be wrong here, but when you're playing D and you're in front of your goalie and you have a player in the slot, is it not better to go towards him and take away his shooting space rather than back up and let him pick his spot?

On the plus side we will not eliminated tomorrow in MSG...fine with that

Couldn't agree more. I'm as much of a believer as anyone but there's no chance in hell this Devils team was winning out and getting all the help they needed.

Shame this season turned out this way. Good turnout here at the arena thogh, all things considered.

Should be blanket coverage in the slot. But the first goal was on the PP so you couldnt account for every man, second goal was Kovy floating and not taking the point guy.

A lot of the tickets were sold in advance, weekend afternoon game. I probably should have no-showed since I got my money back on my sth pair weeks ago anyway (the free tickets today were my 'reward' for paying the playoff invoice lolz) but I wanted to see some other sth's I know since I only have one more game left.

Not taking into account Kovy back-checking, there was a devil in front of Brodeur that backed off when Goc was loading his shot. I would've thought it's a better play to go at your man rather than back off and mask your own goalie more.

I have to watch it again but it was 5 on 4, maybe if the defenseman left his man to step up into the shot he would have left a wide open guy for an easy tap in.

Sweet goal Patty.

Kovy in and Sullivan scratched tell me what DeBoer thinks of Sullivan's play. Down by two in the first and they come back with a goal. Way to go Elias my MVP. It's too bad that Marty is excited about 1-26-14, I had hoped he would bailout and retire. OH well.

 

Lets Go Devils  keep it going

Oh, fair enough, I wasn't watching for that.

 

Also, that was a fvcking beauty of a goal!
