Steven M. Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I am so happy that Kovalchuk got that one. He was the victim of a few bad breaks that led to goals and it's honestly looking like we're getting ready to run him out of town and then he strikes with a laser. We have played a decent period, it's unfortunate that some bounces went in for the Wild but overall it's been a decent 1st period here - I even thought that power play looked good.

Random Poster Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Amazing how a tremendous PK can make the difference in this team not only in confidence but without it, they'd be buried i.e. 2010. Imagine where they would be if they could just straighten out the garbage hockey. That is if they even can with this roster as constructed.

njmar Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) I missed it--what happened to Backstrom? EDIT: I see he's on the bench now. Chico says he doesn't know why either. Edited December 3, 2011 by CAdevsfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilinLA Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 WILD announcers think he was tweaked on the Clarkson pass through the crease - but unsure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njdevsftw Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 The Heatley goal I suppose he saves most of the time, but it was a seriously sick shot.. The other two I dont think you can fault Marty at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parisalchuk Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Anybody else follow @Goalvalchuk on twitter? It's absolutely hilarious to read along to during the game @Goalvalchuk on the last play of the period: Hahaha... I scare all of you. Is joke!

Steven M. Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!!! Can anyone name a more consistent guy for us this year? I don't think so. Even if we come away with nothing this game he has given us a shot. Love that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chorske17 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 missed pretty much the whole first period... is it safe to say that its on Marty so far ? Someday someone is going to say, "hey Chorske you were right about Kovalchuk and we, well... we were wrong." Kovalchuk is a big problem with coughing up the puck at crap times, it skips over his stick, he trips over Parise's skates, he half-arses it out there. This guy should never have been put on a line with Parise nor should he have ever been paid what he wanted. So stupid, but here we are watching him not make a single person better around him and have a crap season. Sure he might turn it on, but I wouldn't bank on it. I can hardly wait for the ney sayers to say, "he almost single-handledly put the Devils into the post season." ALMOST doesn't count. The Devils almsot won the cup in 2001. No one remembers that key point unless reminded of it. I still get a kick out of someone on a previous thread who said something to the extent that "I see that Jamie Langenbrunner was NOT the problem." To whomever said that, I'll gladly buy you a beer. Lags wasn't the problem, Rolston might have been overpaid, but he was not the problem. While it isn't one thing, there are some players still on the team who are. ON a positive note, I hope John MacLean proves people wrong with Captain Kirk in Carolina. Him being fired for poor preformances from players was crap despite what Lemaire did. Let's face it Lemaire is a great coach, but once you hit rock bottom like the Devils did, there is only one place left to go and that is UP. I'm not sure if the Devils can do much else with what they have. I like the optimism that surrounds the return of Zajac, but I don't think he is going to be the Super-Bandaid to fix this problem. Afterall, he can't skate for 60 minutes or should I say 65 given the track record for OT/shootouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 ok well i know some people are throwing all the blame on Kovy all the time... but 3 goals on 4 shots? how is it Kovy's fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) That ramble made me chuckle, thanks for the post Chorske Edited December 3, 2011 by Devilsfan118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
