Other teams make a monkey out of our PP it's like was said. They just rush the guy with the puck and he loses it simple. Keep everything to the perimeter and deny any good chances. So frustrating. Watching the canes play it reminded me of what it was like to watch a high flying high effort team.

In the beginning of the season the devils would fight for the puck behind the net and around the boards during the PP. The result is that we would often have a man open around the net or somewhere on point. We used to also actually have a man in front of the net, so when someone shot the puck, the goalie was screened or there was an opportunity for a deflection. The new strategy is to pass it around the parameter and execute a Capitals finesse type goal. The only problem is that the PKs swarm any devil with the puck and the rest is history.

Complete lack of any physical presence on the ice....

I've often said we need some more physical play from this group, but it hasn't been just this year.

Its been going on for the last 3 or 4 years. The fact is, teams are no longer intimadated by the

Devils. Teams are now just taking it to the Devils, with no response. Clarkson can't do it by him-

self, and we're missing him, but more players need to step and reintroduce NHL teams to the Devils

version of Fear Factor!!!! :horse::fight::ECW::kill::burn:
