I enjoyed the game and the result. But if Brodeur wasn't at the top of his game in the 2nd period... this game looks a lot different.
Overall, I liked our performance... but we can't rely on Brodeur to bail us out like that...

That Parise goal where Henrique pivoted in front of the net and dished to Parise was a thing of beauty. I was 100% set on keeping Parise/Zajac together... but if that keeps up

The Devils now have won five of their last seven games. Those wins came over teams we need to be beating (Carolina and Winnipeg) and teams that are currently among the East's elite (Philly, Washington, Buffalo). And one of those two losses was a close one where we almost took down the streaking defending champs.

Of our next six games, only one comes against a team with more points than us (Florida) and three are against last-place teams (NYI and Columbus). November has the potential to be a very good month for this team.

Agree, once zajac comes back i wouldnt hate it if he centered kovy, adam centers parise and the elias sykora zubs line stays together and it is 3 leget lines with some plug in RW

Have to admit they played a great game last night.

I love the toughness this team has. They don't get frustrated, even after a dissapointing loss. If they run off a streak at the end of the monty, then get Zajac back soon, they could really make a run in the east.

Shannaban for Tyler Myers? Wouldn't be surprised if none....

Devils interested in Shanny's ruling

Id like to see a fine or something out of that hit. It really pissed me off. It was a shot directed at the head.

[Legion15]

Love the highlight videos on nhl.com and the Devils site. Especially the ones with Marty: "Glove will keep us together" and "Power of Glove"

Someone was in a singing mood when they thought of those captions

[Quinn01]

I just love when he rolls his body and is looking at the puck upside down and still can rob a player with an incredible save. I was telling my friend who isnt that big of a hockey fan but is a Devils fan that after all these years of watching Devils hockey, I am still honestly amazed that Marty can play to that level, really any player can. Marty always looks like he is in a "ah sh!t I better just fling my body around and hope to god the puck hits me somewhere" mode but in reality knows his surroundings at all times. The glove was insane last night.

I don't *think* Myers targeted the head consciously, I like to think that it was "just" a play/hit that went wrong.

But then again, WTF do I know, the kid was a scratch recently and probably was fuming over it. He wanted to play a mean, hard game to show Ruff that he's better than what he's shown this year.

i think when all are healthy, you WILL see Henrique with parise and zajac and kovy w/ josefson. but because zajac comes back first, i think henrique will play 3rd line with some amalgam of clarkson/palmieri/tedenby/carter

The Devils made two of the top three Plays of the Day on ESPN. I saw it this morning on TV but couldn't find it online.

and a couple highlight reels on NHL.com for once (Marty & Parise's goal). any other time its an injury they want to broadcast to the entire league or us getting scored ON.

just comes back to the Rodney Dangerfield situation with our team: We get no respect cause we're not an original 6 or have a team full of household names (or play in a 'big market')

Anyone else find the pre-game.....more of a parise-game?

More like Henrique's assist in beating/drawing three Sabres and getting the puck to Parise still. haha, but great finish by Zach

RE: the Myer hit ---

I think that NHL.com should post why some players don't get suspensions on the Player Safety sections as well.

The press is abuzz about Tyler Myers hit and NHL is dead silent and it looks bad. They ought to say why it was NOT a suspension. I have no problem with it not being one. I just think the NHL should explain why some things aren't suspensions. If suspensions aren't considered self evident, why are non-calls? If they want people to LEARN what's being called they need to learn why some things aren't called. It's only a half story otherwise -- it looks like they're being arbitrary if you don't see BOTH the good and the bad.

The thing is with Myers, as kovy said, he left his feet...why does a dude thats 6'8" need to leave his feet if he isn't aiming for the head? Unless he is hitting Chara

So no suspension for Myers..

I'll have to rely on the hit by Kovy to make me feel better.
