You guys are somewhat on your own this evening, as I'm at the game in the $10 seats, and Fischer's going to be late arriving due to the opening of Red Bull Arena, which I still haven't figured out a way to get to from the PATH station in Harrison, even though it's about 100 yards away, but I digress. Da' Rules: Tangents are acceptable and talking about the Blues or Devils in general is OK. Keep it clean and relevant at all times. But please do not use this for other purposes and to talk about Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuce. Above all, go Devils! So let the games start, you better run you little wild heart

Forget?
How could you? We acquired Stevens from St. Louis!! I can see why though.

And the $1.5 Million and 2 first rounders we got from them tampering!

I hate to say this, but this game is incredibly boring.

To me, the Devils appear to have a slight edge. Which isn’t good enough down 1-0.

Well, the power play was at least threatening there. That’s progress?

Just started watching
So are the blues playing great defense? Or are we just playing crappy offense?

Conklin’s playing great.
Take that as you will.

PP looked good there
but terrible bounces.
Is it just me or do the blues players just look faster than our players?

Langenbrunner got rocked there
No freaking way he should have gotten a penalty.

I’m confused by this ref. I thought I left the soccer game?

Okay explain to me how
Langenbrunner gets knocked into the goaltender and gets called for goalie interference and Brewer gets called for interference? How the hell do you call that?

Devils are doing better. Everything but the goal, thanks to Conks.

Damn through the legs
and into the pipe.
4 on 3 should mean we’ll get some rebounds.

I’m just without words here.
Other than, will the people yelling “SHOOOOOOOT,” stop? There’s no shot when you yell it and when they do shoot it, you’re not happy at the results.

Can't we throw the challenge flag or something?
That’s ridiculous.

Can somebody hit the guy that knocked Marty???
Jesus someone taps Conklin and there is a fight breaking out…..

hard to believe
they’ll have played 2 straight giving up 1 goal in regulation and lose both.
Go Jets
Go Devils
If this ends up a shutout, I’m going to punch my TV very hard

So, is it just me
or is everyone just faster on the blues?

I swear if the Devils play like this against the Jackets
I’m leaving at the 2nd period…. I’m almost asleep right now….

Big win against Pittsburgh and then lose to Toronto and now St. Louis….. I am clueless right now.

Roloston CANNOT be on a line with Elias and Kovi
Stop changing the Damn lines!!! Roloston is to dam slow and cant think like elias and kovi, Zubrus should have stayed on that line
A quick summary while on the train
From the second and third periods that I was there to see:
Blues had good possession but didn’t play with urgency they could have used to make this game far easier on themselves. I didn’t think they played al that well until the end. Still, they needed the win and got it; I doubt many Blues fans would be unhappy with that.
Ty Conklin looked and played really well. Of all the Blues I saw, he was the best.
The Devils didn’t play poorly, I felt, unlike all their other shutout losses. They took a good variety of shots, their power play actually looked threatening which is progress of sorts, and they had a number of chances. What doomed them tonight was a combination of a good goalie and terrible finishing. Devils fans will recall this type of loss as being a common cause of problems from about 1996-2004.
The refs were awful. I normally don’t call out refs but that coinciding minor call was horrid.
In the big picture, Pittsburgh losing means this was a lost opportunity instead of a hurtful loss. Still a winnable game and that’s reason enough to be disappointed.

One last question
Who said the Blues are a bad team? If you think so, why?

I agree
It’s my 1st home loss of the year, a sad fact because I brought my entire extended household (fiancee, 2 roommates and significant others) – 2 of them have never been to a hockey game.
But the Devils didn’t play THAT badly. They peppered the Blues a’plenty, they just couldn’t hammer home rebounds. I give a ton of credit to their goalie and defense. St. Louis played really well tonight, I don’t think the Devils played that bad.
But the sad fact remains that Kovalchuk was supposed to be the guy that would break these close games open. I’ll comment on John’s previous post for my thoughts on Ilya.
I have respect for most sports fans with 2 exceptions: NY Ranger fans who grew up in New Jersey, and Dallas Cowboy fans who can't name the capital of Texas.
Game over Devils lose tough one.
Another loss to the western conference. The Blues are a great road team so I cannot say that I am surprised. The goal by Saint Louis was questionable maybe could of been stopped but the offense did not score anyway. Lost to a team that was a little hungrier than we were tonight.

Aside from the myriad negative thoughts I have...
The positive has to come from off the ice: Another sellout, 11th of the season. Equals the number we had last year, and we’ll likely sell out Thursday, March 25th vs. NYR, Friday, April 2nd vs. Chicago, and April 10-11 against Buffalo and the Isles to end the year.
For a team with no fans, 15 sellouts would be something to write home about.
Also, championship plaza and the simple fan fests have 100% improved the atmosphere outside the arena.
But seriously… Why is Rollie on the 2nd line?
RECAP IS UP
