I'm surprised a lot of Buffalo fans left in the middle of the 3rd. Regardless of the team, I thought they'd want to see some history...

the mass exodus was funny

It was so obvious he was gonna break the record I was sitting and taunting about it all 3rd period when people were leaving
the only comeback I got was "well Sawchuck did it without a mask".... which I came back with... well it's not my fault he was an idiot!

Since I have DirecTV, I didn't get to see this one...dammit! I did get to see some highlights on NHL on the Fly, but that show never really gives me a true feel of how the game unfolded. Was last night a tough one for Marty? I know the Devils had a big shot edge, but I also know that can be misleading. There will always be morons who will say "Yeah, anyone can shut guys out if they're only facing 13 shots a game" or something like that, but those of us who've been watching since Game 1 of Marty's career know that's not true, so it doesn't matter.

8 goals in his last 15 for Rolston. Thank God! With that contract the Devils were stuck with him if he wasn't producing...25 to 30 goals suddenly isn't out of the question for Rolston.

My initial expectations for Bergfors were to 1) try to stay with the big club all season, 2) stay healthy, and 3) put up somewhere between 30 and 40 points. So far he's done 1 and 2, and exceeded 3 (he's currently on pace for 55 points, on 26 goals and 29 assists). It's still early and rookies can crash and burn or slump at any time, but he really has done a wonderful job helping to minimize Gio's leaving.

And just like that, the Devils find themselves 2nd in the NHL in goal differential. I can't get over how terrific this season has been...I thought they'd be competitive and in the playoff hunt for sure, but Lemaire has really done a wonderful job with this team. Not much to complain about.

He had 3-4 saves of the really good variety.... one of the HOLY sh!t level (I was on the other side of the arena, but when I saw it on the replay.... damn!).... Buffalo really looked like they called this one in when Miller let that second goal in (which was a BAD one too)...

I did find it funny that they reviewed a goal that would have made it 4-0... but they disallowed it which allowed me to heckle the fans left... HEY THAT WAS TEN YEARS LATE. NOW WASN'T IT????
