per Gulitti:
“Devils backup goaltender Yann Danis will get the start in net for the Devils tonight against the New York Islanders at Nassau Coliseum.”
No other changes to the roster for tonight’s game.
Lets hope he takes advantage of this chance, you gotta think he’s excited to actually be playing

Roloson is in net for the Islanders.
Danis makes the first save of the night.

Wonder how the next 5 minutes will go
We’ll see if they can prevent a momentum shift.

D
is finally stepping up and pinching, keeping the puck in play, and being a threat from the point, glad they finally got the memo, which was severely lacking throughout the season
keep it up, and keep the other team honest
Great work by the second line with the pressure.

Bruno Gervais fell down and lost the puck. Nothing comes of it. Hmmm.

But the first line does get on, get a stop in the neutral zone, Zubrus and Parise attack and Parise puts a good shot on Roloson.

now
just need the 3rd line to step offensively, be a legitimate threat and we’re set, although i would like to zharkov in the lineup over pandolfo
pando is absolutely useless pile of 2.5 million dollars, maybe we can send him to Chicago to be with his buddy – Maddog (i wish we still had him)
I like all the players in tonights line up...
although I would like to see Niedermayer on that fourth line and McAmmond centering the third.
Josh Bailey goes to the box.

Not a bad set-up, but they kept looking to go cross-ice when it wasn’t there.
Nice save by Danis, but why is Danis making saves, second unit?

Power play kept looking to go cross-ice, which isn’t a bad idea, but the Isles expected it and succeeded.
Devils in my heart! Devils in my mind! Devils in my eyes! Devils until I die!
In Lou We Trust - The New Jersey Devils SBN Blog
then they should
anticipate that, and not do it, and have some sort of play/rhythm where they get a good quality shot without having to go cross ice, if the pk is leaning that way, something else has to be open.
i’m surprised isle’s pk is not pursuing us, which is very effective against us, since we can’t handle the pressure from the pk’er and usually flub it or it gets cleared when we’re rushed.
Commentators just can't help themselves ...
when the Devils are playing…“trap style blah blah…not exciting…blah blah…”
Terrible pass by Zajac leads to the Isles’ rushing up on a 3-on-2. Danis got the first shot, but the rebound couldn’t be cleared and it just bounces off a stick and in.

this is what frustrates me
about zajac, the guy gets a good rush, and then always tries to pass it, just wind up and take your shot, what’s wrong with you? is he just so soft in his temperment?
he frustrates me like no other sometimes, and i’m sure lemaire is pissed, he wants zajac to take shots, not half assed passes at the blue line after you’ve got good speed into the zone.
He was just coming over the blueline. You wanted him to fire a 40-45 ft. backhanded shot?

no
take it in,
he had it on his forehand, i’ve seen a ton of other team’s players do it, what’s wrong with him?
he’s got a great shot, let it unload, and if it’s blocked then blocking player is going to pay for it,
bottomline, put pucks on the net esp if you’re coming in with speed and the D has backed off,
What’s wrong? Look, the idea to pass wasn’t poor, Zajac had two defenders in front of him (and a man at his side), and decided to move it away. Fine. It was just the execution that was poor.

Well, Lemaire’s got plenty to tell the Devils. Soft passes, misfired passes helped fuel the late flurry by the Isles, leading to their equalizer after a first period where the Devils were better for the first 17 minutes.

And whenever we give him more responsibility, we don't see anything great.
by Steve Lepore on Mar 13, 2010 8:16 PM EST up reply actions
what kind of
responsibility, i like the guy because he actually makes effective hits, tries to put the puck on the net, and defensively check the other team, what more could you ask of him, it’s not like we’re paying 5 million or 2.5 million to do that (I mean i wish pando, or rolston did that for that amount of money)
Oh, that’s a bad break. The Devils stop Richard Park but the puck bounces back, Jon Sim fires and it find it’s way through traffic. Danis didn’t have any shot on that.

Two bad penalties (the Parise hook was defensible), burnt on one, and the Isles are just flying out there.
The Devils need to absolutely sharpen up their passing game and their clearances because the Isles keep picking them up with ease.
Also, everyone, the game’s not over and last I checked, the Devils beat this team the last time they came to Nassau. Let’s not start giving up on the game because the second was poor.
Well, you can if you want, but I won’t join you.

you have to give the Isles some credit. Their forecheck has been outstanding. The Dev’s defensemen need to shorten their shifts and get the puck out of the zone.

They've gotta start putting pucks on net more
Best case they score, worse case they at least put it in the general vicinity of the goal which is more than they’ve done most of that second period
by devilstuckinkansas on Mar 13, 2010 8:31 PM EST reply actions

i remember when kovy was traded – he kept trying to force every pass to him, to me it showed he lost confidence in his game

The second period was poor and the comeback was botched on a powerplay. You can’t say the Devils fell totally flat; but they should have done much better overall – in those cases perhaps they don’t give up the chances that led to the goals.
That said, no Devils fan should be really happy about this if only because now one has to wonder, was tonight just a letdown of a game where the Devils didn’t get the breaks – or were the last two wins aberrations after all?
Monday and Wednesday’s games just got more important.

Inconsistent. That is the only thing that can be used to describe our team right now.

Seriously
Seriously Seriously Seriously……… This is disgusting!!! Yeah Roloson was good tonight but i am totally feed up with this teams PP. We SUCK on the PP. Now everyone say it “WE SUCK ON THE PP”. Now that that is out of our system lets learn how to score on the PP and not how to let the other team score on the PP. Pathetic is all I can say. Yeah blah blah blah im being negative but I am always trying to be positive and this is really getting under my skin. The goalie doesn’t matter but our D does and it isn’t all that great. Another thing is we need to learn how to not dump the puck or throw long passes. That is so rediculous. It doesn’t work Lemaire so stop trying to dump and throw impossible passes.
Anyway im not a coach but a really pisssed off fan.

funny thing
Is that not once did I think we were going to score on any of our power plays. Its pathetic. We need an entire period of 5 on 4 aparently to even have a chance of scoring.
