Just got back, everything has changed no more score-0 human bowling instead.

no more zamboni races 3-D race to CAA. Graphics were pretty cool. Even though they rig the race so the contestent wins his Rhino Records Pac (Genesis, INXS etc.) New Daktronics board is great, but it took me half a game to figure where the penalty time was on it.

Hopefully the players get used to these calls some of the penalties the Devil just breathed on the Penguin.

Some chants Rangers Suck (of course) Marty's Better, Parise's Better, and Overrated (at Crosby).

We heard the Parise's better chant on TV. that was awesome by the fans. I wish I could have made it tonight, damnit!

[langsgirl]

i had a blast.. i cant read this thread now.. but i was psyched.. i was drunk period 1.. but i did catch the goals anyhow.. i sobered up for period 2 and couldnt have asked for a better game 1

YAY devs

Just one gripe, Almo passed up a great chance to shoot the puck in the third. I hope it was because he was trying to feed Brylin and not due to his hip bothering him. Nobody was on him in the upper slot.

[msweet]

I ditto everything Rock said....

The little Devils: Brylin, Gionta, and Gomez were flying.

McGillis sucks.

Matvichuk is the real deal. Great signing Lou.

The chicken steal by Gionta, and the rebound bang home will be a year long highlight. What a f-ing goal!

And anyone who touches Maria, in any way, gets 2 minutes.

I don't care for the new NHL.

Kozlov = superstar

Great win by the devils. Langs played bas as well as Mcgillis but on the whole it was a good game. It's a shame Brodure didn't get the shutout he deservs it.

[olesha]

Check out the great beginning to this story ....

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- With the hockey world watching, the first-round draft pick lived up to all of his expectations and more with a goal and two points in his first NHL game.

Sidney Crosby, it wasn't.

Zach Parise, New Jersey's first-round draft pick in 2003, scored a power-play goal and assisted on one of Brian Gionta's two goals in an outstanding debut that led the New Jersey Devils to a 5-1 victory over Crosby's Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night.

Parise's better!!!!

I totaly didn't hear that!!! Thats awesome(and true)

[DevilMinder]

Sigh, a dig at the attendance, yup must be an Devils article.

[thefiestygoat]

Just got back... good game but way too many penalties (19), I ran out of room on the scoresheet for them lol. Favorite chants were, "Zachie is better", "Parise is better", "Overrated"(reffering to Crosby). Nice to see G, Brylin, Parise, Brodeur, and Mogilny have good games.

I'd also add that Madden and Malakhov played really well.

I forgot to mention this, during warmups Mario straddles the center red line at the face off dot. He was facing his own net not really participating in the drills. So what Devil goes to the Devils' side if the line and stands with his back inches from Mario's?

John Madden!

Btw Madden didn't move away until Mario did.

[insanity_gallops]

Short thoughts, 'cause I'm exhausted from the game. Very tiring after waiting so long!


Hooray for the Devils PK squads. Fantastic job killing off 5-3s, some of which were BS.

Langenbrunner couldn't catch a break. Penalized twice (not the best calls from where I was sitting), didn't draw a penalty when he should have, and just barely missed the net on a beautiful setup and shot.

Mogilny looked like a guy with a hip replacement. Very slow.

Kozlov played very well, except when he tried to stickhandle his way through everybody. Nice passes, good moves, really works well with Parise and Gionta.

Parise is, of course, the real deal.

Gionta was kickass.

Brylin looked like a first line LW tonight. He was everywhere.

Gomez didn't get a lot of ice time tonight, mainly 'cause he was riding the pine in the first due to all the Penguin PPs.

McGillis did not have a great game, but he wasn't horrible.

Matvichuk I didn't see much of; meaning he had a good game. An EXCELLENT shot block at one point.

Rafalski had some great moments, and some real brain lapses.

Martin was shaky, but saved a goal with one of the shots he blocked.

The 4th line did just what it needed to.

ALL HAIL MARTIN BRODEUR for tonight's game. Without him, the Penguins score at least 4 goals in the opening 10 minutes of the first period.



Maybe I'll add more tomorrow. Right now, I'm very, very drained.

Oh yeah, and the mini-cups are kickass. So in the last two weeks, my loot has been 2 (crappy) Devils shirts, 2 (mediocre) Devils hats, a mini-Cup, and an autographed Rafalski stick. Schweet.

[Voros19]

Kozlov played well!!!???

[sykkie15]

Just got home, great game to be in attendance.

The chants were great, I loved every minute of them...even better was the drunk guy in front of me starting most of the chants.

May I say that McGillis was awful tonight? He should NEVER NEVER NNNNNNEVER be put on the powerplay EVER again, he screwed up every chance he got. Ugh.

Marty was unbelievable.

Parise was incredible.

Brylin is the man, and for those who think Freeze should have been kept over them -- may I laugh in your face? JK

Let's see...Malakhov played well, Matvichuk was shaky, White had a cannon of a shot, Martin looked a bit nervous. Our forwards looked like they had a helluva lot of fun out there, good for them. Gionta was on fire tonight, good for him. Gomez was crazy, and I thought Kozlov had a very good game.

Without reading the entire thread, I don't know what to think of all the penalties called, but it friggen felt like the refs were just TRYING to give Crosby chances at scoring. A Devil so much as BREATHED on a Pen, he got penalized. Very annoying.

Didn't see anyone from the board other than Has and Joe...great to see them, hopefully I'll see some more of you at the game on Saturday!

[devilsrule33]

Well everyone was wondering how Marty Brodeur would do with the new rules, no Stevens and No Niedermayer. I was wondering as well. Usally he faces 17 shots in a game and he faced that in the first period alone. 36 saaves in total. When was the last time Marty played where he had to make more than 35 saves?

Well after 1 game, Brodeur showed he doesn't need great defenseman to play well. He was fantastic.

[El Diablo]

Im watching LOST on TIVO and holy crap smack in the middle the NHL buys a commercial (the one w/the girl getting the warrior out to the ice) Is this marketing theyre trying ? That spot must of cost a pretty penny...
