What you fail to understand in your joyless myopia is that baseball is the key to life-- the Rosetta Stone, if you will. If you just understood baseball better all your other questions your, your... the, uh... the aliens, the conspiracies they would all, in their way be answered by the baseball gods.

McAmmond a shot on a quick set up. Fischer’s hailed 4th line is getting it done so far.

Pando off for a trip

That was not a trip on first look. He stepped on Pando’s skate.

Zajac and Parise still together. Bergfors called for a trip.

Fischer alone side of the net and Brodeur a terrific save, and then another on a difficult long range shot.

by Steve Lepore on Dec 18, 2009 7:13 PM EST reply actions  

Zajac a shorthanded chance that Elliott thwarts.

by Steve Lepore on Dec 18, 2009 7:14 PM EST reply actions  

Big jam up at the front of the net, Brodeur prone, but nothing made of it.

Radio broadcast...

made it sound that was all Brodeur on that kill…four tough saves?

by HELLAWAITS on Dec 18, 2009 7:15 PM EST reply actions  

Parise nearly made a sick move to get by an Ottawa defender. You can tell he wants that drought done with.

by Steve Lepore on Dec 18, 2009 7:17 PM EST reply actions  

Tonight’s game looks better than Wednesday’s game; but that’s not saying much. Senators look more confident after their first power play. Devils could do better with safer passes, in my view.

Great pass by Greene.

by Steve Lepore on Dec 18, 2009 7:27 PM EST reply actions  

Lovely play by Greene to set up the easy tap in for Langenbrunner. Why Ottawas let him go in behind easily is beyond me. Ottawa looks up to the task, though.

Rolston with a great tip that Elliott had to make a great save on. And then a Langenbrunner rip from the slot that he stopped.

by Steve Lepore on Dec 18, 2009 7:33 PM EST reply actions  

Pandolfo stopped by Elliott, and the Devs are warming to the task.

by Steve Lepore on Dec 18, 2009 7:34 PM EST reply actions  

Devils did a good job on the kill. Not a bad period, but the Devils are a bit loose on possession and passing. The Sens are getting too many pucks back on offense. But the Devils had more than a few good chances, Marty looks so great, and the PP converted.

Now, BUILD on this, Devils.

So they’ll call a cheap trip, but nothing for hitting the keeper? Amazing.

Defense looks sloppy, I don’t like where this may go.

Honestly, this hasn’t been as bad as a period as recent second period “efforts”. Not that it makes this a good period. Devils defense needs to play smarter and tighter. And the offense would benefit with more patience.

Still, Devils responded to Ottawa’s fluke and Ruutu’s attack and still lead. A good sign at least.

It’s started not so great again. If this were last year, the Devils would lose and Sutter would make them do the treadmill after the game. But, different team…

by Steve Lepore on Dec 18, 2009 8:49 PM EST reply actions  

Doc and Chico go on talking about how lame it is when other team’s media call the Devils “boring”. To be fair, literally NOTHING has happened in the first 8 minutes of the 3rd.

Who were Doc and Chico just talking about, scoring a goal against Atlanta and hitting Exelby, someone from the Pat Burns era (what a great time that was)?

Huge kill, not so good on the offensive chances after, but the Devils look hungry. And Ottawa just gifted them a chance to put this game away.

Well, that was a game! Uh, I got to think about this one. I have mixed feelings about the performance tonight. Better than Wednesday, but was it a solid effort? Eh, not quite?

Hilarious insurance goal aside, the recap will come later. For now, I await a train. Stay warm and thanks for reading!

Game over another win for the Devils..

This game was a lot more exciting than the Montreal game. A lot quicker pace had some wierd goals a lot of power plays and Marty almost got hurt I cannot believe Cheecho did not get a penalty for that hit. It is going to seem wierd seeing the Devils on the road tomorrow night they have played so many home games. Great shot by my man Rolston..
