Great win. It was worrisome at the beginning, but they righted the ship. Our defense needs tightening. Glad for the win and I was glad for Clarky to get the winner.

3 regulation wins in 15 GP (not good), yet this team finds itself 8-6-1. Fitting that Thanksgiving is coming up, because the Devils should definitely be counting their blessings.
I can't complain, mostly because I think this team has put up the absolute best record it's capable of, until they get healthier. Just hope they survive this road-heavy stretch they've got over the next month or so. If they're .500 by the end of it, I'll be mosy pleasantly surprised.

THE NHL MUST LOVE THE DEVILS - from who else? A RANGER fan!
[Mark Messier]: A big, bald attention whore with a stupid Easter Island-lookin face. - from who else? DaneykoIsGod!
Even when Marty comes back maybe Larry should put Clemmensen to be on the goal during the shootouts.
Can the coach do that ? Switch the goalies 5 seconds to go in overtime? - Most priceless quote ever posted on a message board.
Martin Brodeur: THE MOST ALL-TIME WINS!, 12 straight seasons of 30+ wins, 3 Stanley Cups, 4 Vezina Trophies, and zero respect from too many so-called Devils "fans" who are either too young or too bandwagon to remember the much darker days of Sean Burke, Craig Billington, Bob Sauve, Alain Chevrier, and the talented but overwhelmed Chico Resch, among many others.
It's easy to support a great player when he's playing at his very best. It takes a true fan to support that same player during those rare moments and stretches when he's not. Babe Ruth went 0-4 some games, and sometimes Wayne Gretzky was held pointless. There may be such a thing as greatness, but no such thing as absolute perfection every single night.

Was at the game in Washington a few observations:
As was mentioned above the ice was really crappy. To me the key of the game was when the Caps were in the Devils zone for some 5 odd minutes then about a minute later the Devils 1st goal was scored. I checked the shot clock, the Caps didn't get credited for a shot in that 5 minute stretch. With 5 minutes to go in the game they started an "Unleash the Fury" segment on the video board. It really whipped the crowd into a frenzy. It was very intense. Finally, my family was doing some sight seeing in the area in the afternoon. (Spy Museum, Madame Toussard's Wax Museum) We went to this sandwich shop across the street from the Verizon Center and were just hanging out until the gates opened up. At around 5:00 Chico walks in. I asked him "Hey Chico, do the Devils have a chance tonight?" His reponse, "If they are playing they always have a chance." He then proceded to talk hockey with us for about 20 minutes. Very cool.

Imagine that, Chico getting a pre-game Chico Eats out of the way! Hahahahaa
"Do they have a chance?" ??? You musta been star struck to ask such a silly question.
That's a cool thing to happen though!!!

Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is!
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

Wasn't star struck. I figured a dumb question like that would get a response. He mentioned he knew the owner and figured he would give him some business. I then mentioned doing a Chico Eats segment here. He just smiled and said "We haven't done any of those this year."
