Game #82 - Devils vs. Buffalo Sabres

Buffalo Sabres at New Jersey Devils, Apr 11, 2010 5:00 PM EDT


The Time: 5 PM EDT/4 PM PDT  -- TV: MSG Plus (HD) --  Radio: 660 AM WFAN

The Previews: Here's my preview from earlier this morning; check out Die By the Blade for Sabres-based opinions.

A Song to Pump You Up:  You know, Fischer thinks this song rules so he's running with it again: "Ironbound" by Overkill.  (Steve's Note: Get it, because he's using it a lot!)

Other Games of Note: In terms of potential playoff opponents, the only game that matters is the Philadelphia Flyers playing the New York Rangers.  A Devils win means this game matters little to any of us, but a 1-point game and if the Rangers win, we get Montreal and if the Flyers win, we get the Flyers.  So there you go.  Feel free to discuss the game here.

This Is A Charitable GameThread: For each comment posted on this GameThread, I will be contributing an additional $0.15 to TEAMJLO, an ovarian cancer education and fund raising group. So far, $48.30 has been raised. Let's up this amount today.

The organization was set up by the Lopez family in honor of their mother and friend, Janice Lopez - the aforementioned JLO - who was struck by ovarian cancer several years ago. While Janice Lopez is no longer with us, the fight against ovarian cancer continues.  They've been working together with the Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation since 2005 as well as the Kaleidoscope of Hope (link goes to NJ affiliate).

Special Rules for the Charitable GameThread:  First, please no images in the comments, that will just slow down the GameThread.   Second, please don't spam the GameThread with pointless comments. There's 7 other games going on today - including this one. Surely, you can say something about the Devils, Sabers, this game, or some other NHL game (e.g. Rangers-Flyers).  Let's do some more good today, let's not do it by being a pain to others.

Standard Ending Message: As always, please keep the comments clean, relevant to some hockey game, and civil.  Go Devils!

Agreed

But, as I said before, a Rags win means they get crushed by Washington (knock on wood of course). And the Devils receive more favorable opponents despite if they win or not.

Plus, they would beat the Flyers and ruin playoff hopes for them. So it’s not all bad =]

You know what I just noticed...

Another year, critics peg the Devils for mediocrity. This year’s criticism seemed even worst. Yet, once again, our Devils have won an Atlantic Division Title despite having gone though a PUTRID stretch of games for a good month and a half (Makes me wonder where they would be if they kept at even a 60/40 through that).

It’s really telling of how lucky we are to be fans of such a great team.

If the Devils sellout today (which they will)

They would have sellouts in 9 out of the past 12 games, and an average of 17105 in that span. I feel it’s only a matter of time we start seeing The Rock at full capacity for a majority of the season.

by Matthew Ventolo on Apr 11, 2010 4:22 PM EDT reply actions  

Indeed. As it is, this season hit a new high for sellouts, a trend I’m sure the organization will trumpet.

It’s a fantastic thing you’re doing John and Co.

My question for the Devils masses: any worries about the Bruins if that were to be the matchup? Or perhaps this would be a more sophisticated way of asking the same thing: would you rather see the Habs or the Bruins?

Anyone but the Flyers. The Habs are much beatable just because Marty owns the Habs. The Bruins i wouldn’t mind, but if the offense doesn’t show up, the Bruins could pull off an upset

The Flyers are the one team I wouldn’t want to see. They’ve beaten the Devils convincingly twice in the season (two games where they scored 5 goals). They also bring a more physical game than the Bruins, but with better offense.

Play hard. Play to win. Play clean. Don’t get sloppy. Don’t do anything that would risk injury. If we lose, it’s no big deal so long as we go into the playoffs feeling good about our game.

How have you guys liked him on the Devils? The biggest debate in Buffalo was that he couldn’t play well enough in his own zone to be a good enough player in the playoffs.

by Guido1983 on Apr 11, 2010 6:27 PM EDT up reply actions  

He’s backchecked and saved a good shot a number of times. He’s been a pleasant surprise, defensively

Go Jets

by FrankG929 on Apr 11, 2010 6:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

He’s a team player. Contributes on both sides and does it well. He tends to have a turnover on the PP every now and then and his board play is his weakest attribute. Overall, he’s been very good

by Matthew Ventolo on Apr 11, 2010 6:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

So basically

Everything that was said about him would have been wrong. I know we had a lot of people that didn’t want him on the Sabres cause he “wouldn’t fit the system”. But by what you guys are saying he’d fit in perfectly with us.

by Guido1983 on Apr 11, 2010 6:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, I mean I’m pretty sure a bunch of us thought he would have a hard time fitting into NJs system as well because its so completely different than Atlantas. It took him a bit of time to adjust, but he has played simply excellent hockey. He backchecks well, is as fast of a skater as any on the ice, and passes as good as anyone.

I think Buffalo turns over the puck often enough for the Bruins to get a few scoring chances. I also feel the Bruins can out-physical a team like Buffalo, and take them out of a game early. The Bruins have enough goaltending to stop the Buffalo attack. Plus, I’m scared to death of Brouduer :)

pretty much since the Olympic break the talking heads have really only talked about three ‘elite’ teams in the east – Caps, Pens, Devs, in that order. Any sense of a ‘nobody believes in us!’ -type mentality in Buffalo? I mean, you clinched your division, have probably the favorite for the Vezina this year, and at least a shot at the #2 seed in the East. Any chips on shoulders up there?

Sure – as I’ve said before, you’re matching up the worst offense in the league with the best goaltender in the league. I understand Rask has been playing well – and that certainly is scary, but I have a million times more faith in Miller (who is 2-0-2 against the Bruins) than Rask. I also don’t want to risk injury against a bigger Philly team that likes to throw its weight around. Lastly, I’d like to have home ice in the second round if we do make it there.

you guys who are remaining “above” the argument about winning or loosing and playing marty by commenting on every single shift are totally missing the bigger picture of the game. there is such a thing as watching the game too closely on the ice such that you actually entirely miss the larger context in which the game is being played.
