This game reminds me a lot of our last playoff series. We were so inferior in speed and physicality that we just got manhandled while sneaking in a few goals here and there.
Agree, I pretty much said the same thing in this thread...scary how slow and easily overwhelmed these guys can look.
And there it is.
[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.

My mistake. Carry on.

And there it is.
It's amazing that we're 3-3 against the Rangers and Flyers, and 3-2 against the Pens and yet I'm not 'at all' confident in beating any of these teams if we met in the playoffs. I mean the Pens got 40 shots on net in like three or four of the games against us and are a different team now, we can't score on Bryzgalov and Pete just can't help but play the useless goons against the Rangers. Not to mention Marty stole one or two of those games we did beat the Rangers in.

Oh well, beat Ottawa tomorrow and this will be forgotten.

It's like sometimes we're great but when other teams take it to the next level we stay playing regular season hockey.

Gosh I bet there will be outrage on the Rangers boards tonight about how classy they are not being!

I agree 100%. Devils will lose any one of those series in six games or less. In the same maddening two-steps-slower fashion.
My hope is that they wrap up the #6 seed, knock out the #3, and then somehow have enough confidence built up to do better against those teams than I'm expecting.

If the Sens win tomorrow, things get very interesting. This is a rested Sens team going against a very tired Devils game. I'd be happy with a point, but that's going to be tough.
