SamPWoo.com - Interesting game. The Devils never trailed. But after the third time of not maintaining the lead, they took over the game. It maybe too early to start chanting "Golf in April" for the visitors, but sure seem like they are heading that way.
I applauded Henrik Lundqvist before the game. For the first time, I saw him take off his goalie helmet and stood for the national anthem. I was pretty happy about that because I could not understand why for years, he never did so. Kudos to him. Maybe he didn't know and finally got the memo.
It was a very lively crowd at the Rock. I met some great fans last night and it was a spirited affair. After yelling "Long Live Denis Potvin" chants, tons of confetti was raining down and the Devils have an offensive team, yet are struggling defensively. Jacques Lemaire's teams have traditionally been great defensively, but I think this team may be more geared towards a high tempo game. Still about 5 more weeks of regular season hockey to fine tune the well oiled winning machine.
And I thought my 19-0 victory over the New York Rangers was bad. Checkout this "other" fan's prediction:
