Pikkarainen the first Devils shot (and maybe for either team).

Rolston ripped one off of Varlamov’s shoulder and the side of the net, the horn briefly sounded.

The Devils get a pile up in front and Bergfors nearly flips one home.

Scoreless so far. Pretty even stuff.

Penalty to the Devils
Salvador off for what appears to be a rough.

any body else think mottau is turning into a pretty serious defender.

Caps are noticeably less dynamic on their power play without Ovechkin. Keeping it mostly to the outside.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 7:21 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Parise was sprung on a breakaway, and goes down, yet somehow nothing got called.

any one see the guy giving the ref the finger after that one

Small crowd in here?
Just logged on…listening to the 660 am broadcast at work….

im seeing realy alot of mottau so far
lots of good plays in first

Score
Tyler Sloan from Matthew Perrault, and it’s 1-0 Caps.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 7:35 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
That sounded bad....
Did White have a lapse in defensive judgement?
by HELLAWAITS on Nov 4, 2009 7:36 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
And the Devils show a lack of any energy the last 10 minutes of the period. 1-0 after 1.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 7:40 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Well...
this is going to be a tougher game than the first meeting in a sense. You know the Caps will be playing twice as hard to silence the “Ovechkin is the whole team” preachers.
by HELLAWAITS on Nov 4, 2009 7:57 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Score!
Rolston banks one in, a break for Rollie makes it 1-1.

Goals are goals...
Skates..goal posts..whatever.

Penalty to WSH
Semin’s off for a slash. Devils get their first power play.

Second unit out first is Clarkson-Zubrus-Bergfors-Rolston-Greene
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:13 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
1st unit is Niedermayer-Parise-Zajac-Langenbrunner-Murphy
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:14 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Zajac is a point man. He shoots and Varlamov makes a save.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:15 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Langenbrunner a ripper that Varlamov makes the save on.

The Defense has to learn to get some shots somewhere near the net.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:27 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Fraser got one deflected on goal. Getting closer.

How’s the game been? I’ve been dragging furniture up a few flights of stairs.

Great play from Parise to Halischuk, but the shot denied.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:28 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Parise’s been the best Devil, getting a chance almost everytime he’s out there. He’s due.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:28 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
And a fight...
It’s Pelley and Chris Clark.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:29 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Not too much landing, Pelley the takedown.

Laich a solid shot up high that Marty stops.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:51 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Greene a ripper from the right wing side that Varlamov snatches.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:52 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Clarkson a nice move to get by the defense, but he ripped one wide.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:54 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Brodeur a great save on Semin, and then another one on a long blast from the point.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:54 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Penalty to WSH
Mike Knuble for a Cross Check.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:58 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I really like whats going on with the lines right now.
Parise – Zajac – Bergfors
Rolston – Zubrus – Langenbrunner

I hope we get to see that first line combo for a long time to come.

Devils don’t get much on the powerplay. A deflection in front is miraculously stopped by Varlamov.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:01 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Pelley sent one in front that went off Varlamov and just away from Halischuk.

Power Play to the Devils
Semin a hook.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:11 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Bergfors with a BIG slapper after a great rush and combo passing play between Zajac and Parise and the Devils lead.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:13 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Beg your pardon, that’s Bergfors’ 3rd.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:17 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Oh, Come On
Rob Niedermayer is not on the bench.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:19 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
SCORE! ZAJAC!
A slapper from Zajac beats Varlamov and it’s 3-1!
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:20 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Bergfors
Looks like Bergfors got a piece of it, not Parise.
by Marty 4 Prez on Nov 4, 2009 9:23 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Parise never touched it, so it’ll likely be Zajac’s goal eventually.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:23 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
this capitals goalie has the best mask in the NHL.
by they can take a player but not the core on Nov 4, 2009 9:25 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Semin on a breakaway either misses or Brodeur gets a piece.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:26 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Half the mask is American theme, other is Russian. He looks like two face from a distance

Marty needs to be more aggressive with the guy in front of him…he just let Knuble stand there on that goal.
by Marty 4 Prez on Nov 4, 2009 9:29 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Mike Greene just iced it. hes silly

Recap at some point tonight. See you then.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:31 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Bergfors must have gotten the credit for the 3rd, final, and game winning goal.
