Depressing game.

[Parisalchuk]

Wow so much for that. Broduer is awful right now. Whats going to be the excuse this year? We're heading in the same direction and nobody of any major significance is hurt. Are we just rebuilding or old or do the Devils just suck? Because i'm going with them just sucking. They aren't a good hockey team at all.

Yeah I mean other than 2 of our top 3 centers, nobody TOO important

[Random Poster]

So I'm wondering how much longer Lou waits to make a deal for a center if they lose tomorrow. Which they probably will.

Gonna have to suck it up, i think. They can't add anything without subtracting a roster player because what do they do when Zajac and JJ are healthy? The new additions can't dissapear. That's why i don't buy any rumors right now that do not concern players on this current roster. Until then they'll play around with bums like Ryan Carter.

Right, no one of any significance is hurt. Only the top 2 centers, but they aren't really important.

Well I would call the injury to zajac significant.

Brodeur hadn't had it for a couple of years now, but the defenders have been rushing to excuse him for everything.

It's funny that the worst stretch of the game was when the Leafs didn't get any goals.

In all, the biggest problem was that while NJ got tons of odd man chances, they were unable to get any zone pressure besides a few shifts here and there. Toronto got just about every single bounce, which whatever, apparently that's their MO early this year. Brodeur was also not good. Transition defense needs to be better.

kovy and parise need to play on diffrent lines. kovy is not going to produce playing anywere other than LW. This is how i think the lines should be:

Zach Parise-Adam Henrique-Dainius Zubrus
Ilya Kovalchuk-Patrik Elias-Petr Sykora
Mattias Tedenby-Ryan Carter-David Clarkson
Cam Janssen-Brad Mills-Nick Palmieri

[Amberite]

I'm getting closer to pushing the panic button. Philly tomorrow, get ready for a 4 game losing streak.

I think clarkson was good tonight! I seemed to notice him the most...

[PhuckinKillAvery]

Lolwut

Zajac and JJ...really? Yea..everyone in the NHL fvcking shivers when they hear those names. Get real.

[SterioDesign]

Well bottom line

• Parise and Kovalchuk are just not clicking together, gotta keep them separate
• Sykora and Palmieri should have buried those empty netter opportunities on both plays we got scored on their next breakout
• Brodeur was terrible other than on that huge save


i wish we would play a style like the leafs are, they are using their speed big time with their breakouts. We are not

[Dead]

Parise and kovy should both be LW...

[Jas0nMacIsaac]

We need a little bit of offense from the point, I am starting to warm up to a Taormina call up.

[Devil Dan 56]

Zajac and JJ...really? Yea..everyone in the NHL fvcking shivers when they hear those names. Get real.

They are the top 2 centers on the team. How are they not significant injuries?

[EdgeControl]

5th goal is on Tallinder.

Just a joke of a defensive play. PUT YOUR STICK DOWN.

Talinder played like cr@p he was swiss cheese did he stop one pass tonight?

[PhuckinKillAvery]

Team actually scores more than 2 goals then we give up 5. I love it. Can't wait to go see them play the Flyers tomorrow. I'll be sure to fill my flask all the way up in order to numb the embarrassment ...aah i remember a time not to long ago when the Devils used to completely own the Flyers. Times have changed dramatically.

They are the top 2 centers on the team. How are they not significant injuries?

Honestly the Devils have two 40 goal scorers they should be able to over come those injuries with ease.

Kovy-Carter-Clarkson
Sykora-Elias-Zubrus
Janssen-Mills-Palmieri

True i do like this better actually having 2 speedy wings like parise and tedenby around a speedy henrique in the middle could be a turn around for us.

[Triumph]

We need a little bit of offense from the point, I am starting to warm up to a Taormina call up.

starting to bend this way too, salvador has not been good enough. (although tonight he was probably a + in scoring chances)

re: tedenby, this board's infatuation with him has become funny if it weren't so sad. yes, he has some incredible skills. no, he hasn't done very much with them.

Moose in the net tommorow combine with parise and kovalchuk on different line is the only thing to do if they want a chance to win.
