New Jersey Devils at Atlanta Thrashers, Dec 19, 2009 7:00 PM EST
The Time: 7:00 PM EST
The TV: MSG
The Radio: 660 AM WFAN
The Preview: Mine's up and here. Check out Bird Watchers Anonymous later for a GameThread of sorts.
Gulitti is in Atlanta: Check out Fire & Ice a bit later for any roster updates. Anything I see there, I'll update here prior to the game. Update: Per Gulitti, Brodeur is starting in net. Thanks to JoeyV for mentioning this in the comments too.
Song to Get You Pumped Up and That's Really It, Just Pumping, Really: My mind is drawing a blank on Atlanta-area metal bands. So in that vein and with a SNOWPOCALYPSE happening in New Jersey, let's heat things up with some hard hitting funk from the 70s. Back when Atlanta had a team called the Flames, appropriately enough. This is Two Sisters of Mystery by Mandrill.
Please join in the comments to talk about tonight's game. Remember to keep all comments clean and relevant to the game. Tangents are OK. Talking about the Devils in general or the Thrashers in general is OK. Other games are OK. But let's not derail the thread to some other team or the values of hard hitting 70s funk. Go Devils!

Off topic, but Mastodon’s from the Atlanta area (if you’ve heard of them). But back on Topic, Gulitti said yesterday Marty’s okay, which is good news. A win today will definitley keep us ahead of the Penguins LETS GO DEVILS!

According to the radio broadcast Atlanta put a bunch of their big tough fighters in so we countered by putting Peters back in the line up…
pavelec is absolutely standing on his head. goaltending has to be the only reason those guys aren’t under .500 and out of the playoffs. that and kovalchuk.

Pavelec robs Rolston, who took a good shot off a loose puck. I estimate that’s the 15th one the Atlanta defense completely missed.

The first is over and this is terrible.
The Devils had all of these shots – and some really, really great chances. So many mistakes and lazy play by Atlanta in their own end. But when the Devils made a mistake, Atlanta took FULL advantage.
Atlanta should be kissing Pavelec’s feet and look to tighten things up. Sadly, the Devils almost NEED Atlanta to continue being so passive in their coverage to try and make a come back here.
I’m worried at what the next 40 minutes could bring.

And the Atlanta defense is still a paper tiger. Atlanta finally catches Parise behind the net and despite the big hit by Armstrong, a pass is made perfeclty to McAmmond for a shot.
Keep up the effort, Devils. I think a comeback is entirely possible.

by fearloathing13 on Dec 19, 2009 8:23 PM EST up reply actions
I never really
like Brodeur being pulled…i feel even if his play is down or the team is faltering he is the ultimate equalizer. BUT….i like this move. It was between periods so what had to be said was no doubt done so by Lemaire. This team knows it will have to play that much harder and tighter in front of Denis.
Well, I haven’t seen White and Mottau together too much this period; I think Lemaire grilling the defense in addition to the goaltending change have certainly helped.
Again, I thought Danis would start; but I would be the first to admit that Danis gives up those same 3 goals were he in Brodeur’s skates for that first period. Still, the team looks far better in their own end.
The big difference in Atlanta’s end is that Pavelec isn’t stopping everything in sight and Atlanta still sucks on defense

Second period over
Atlanta put out more offensive pressure, more “traditional” attacks, and put at least 12 shots on net. Makes sense for them because their defense is so porous, that their offense really is the best defense.
Ondrej Pavelec finally is cracked and while the Devils didn’t get so many shots (“only” 9), they scored 3 goals. Rolston off a breakaway, McAmmond off a rebound during a power play, and Rod Pelley opening his goal account with a rising shot from distance that just fooled Pavelec.
Danis came in net and has looked good. Colin White and Mike Mottau aren’t playing together, Mottau’s with Oduya and White’s with Fraser. Good move, both were having a bad, bad, bad game together. Defense looks tighter despite allowing 12+ shots.
it’s 4-3 NJ and this third period will be critical. The Devils absolutely cannot sit back on Atlanta, they must add to their lead because as we saw in the first, the Thrashers have the fire power to score many goals and quickly.

That has been a line in the second period. Even during the PP. I guess Lemaire is now committing to Zajac and Parise separate.
On that note, Zajac had a good chance but he fired it wide.

Good thing Kozlov hustled back, as the Thrashers conceded ANOTHER Devils rush. To think, if they had been playing competent – not necessarily great, just acceptable – defense, then maybe they’d be winning this game.

I agree; this was a useless signing to begin with.
Wish Corrente was still up here and Clarkson not injured. They can do everything. And I’d rather have Fraser than Peters.
Beer is good! And stuff!
Peters and Clarkson are in different leagues when it comes to fighting, and I think they (and we) would rather have Clarkson on the ice rather than in the box for 5 minutes at a time.
Not saying it was a good signing, but with Brashear and Pronger and Rupp in the division, I can kind of see the logic in the signing. Doesn’t explain why he’s playing tonight, though…
The talk of Peters trying to score
Reminds me of when Cam Janssen scored his first. That was very amusing.

FINAL 5-4 Devils win
AND THE COMEBACK IS COMPLETE
Atlanta’s offense shocked the Devils early, but the Devils didn’t relent on offense, they climbed back into it as Atlanta’s defense just let them do as they wished for much of the game. They put a lead together, the Thrashers struck late, but the Devils made sure they had no easy chance at an equalizer.

Hard Fought Battle
Great to see the Devils pull out the win. We had a couple of random players score tonight which is really just a testament to the depth of this lineup. Excellent come back. I also thought it necessary to take Brodeur out seeing that he has barely had any time off lately. I also thought the Devils fought a little harder on the defensive end to give Danis a better chance to win this game.
In terms of the defensive end, I’d agree that the Devils did well to avoid giving up any big chances for Atlanta. That Kovalchuk had a terrible game really helped.
Devils in my heart! Devils in my mind! Devils in my eyes! Devils until I die!
