Well New Jersey can be top 2 in the east..
The team needed a lot a second center back in 2002-2003 we had: Elias-Gomez-Gionta,friesen-Nieuwendyk-Langs..
Today: Parise-Gomez-Gionta Elias-Zajac-Langs
2trios with speed and good scorers.. Add a 3rd line up, who can change the momemtum.. Madden,Brylin,Pandolfo.
The defense as well is not the best, But Nj Devils fowards can back up in defense easily.
Ralfaski,White,Martin,Hale,Fahey,Oduya,Lukowhich,Thats not bad at all..
Just to compare Montreal vs Nj defense..
Montreal defense: Bouillon,Souray,Rivet,Streit,Markov,Komisarek,Ninnima..
And we have the best goalie in the league ..
So i think the devils can go Deep in the playoffs.
Im not surprised about the start of the season of Canes..
Stillman,Kaberle Injured..
A.Ward,M.Cullen,Weitgh,Rechi All gone..
I see Carolina 4-7 positions at the end of the season... I dont see them winning the division title. They gonna have a slow season start.. Thats gonna kill them.
GO Devils GO !!! Great win tonight
