A Duel to the End.

Devils 3 vs Sabres 2:

A few good duels during this game. First off, nice regulation win. This game means a lot under great pressure we held our own and came out on top. Some points to build on: (Daneyko made similar points in his post game) We finally won more face-offs, which means we stayed on offense a lot more. They were taking the body of the other players and being more physical. I know they didn't hear it from me but they were throwing pucks on net. Clarkson's goal was a great example of just turning and shooting. Parise's deflection was another example of throwing pucks on net and seeing what happens.
To sum up a few other points:
• Marty playing to his game (35 saves)
• Controlled Rebounds
• Break-Outs under pressure

Special Feature: I have to comment specifically on Our Captain. Jamie Langenbrunner has stepped it up again in more ways than 1. Other then him making plays, shots on goal and scoring. I have to say that I love that he is getting angry and coming to the rescue. Being the captain he has to set a precedent. Parise was mauled after a small collision with Miller but Langenbrunner came in to defend him. This is one thing we drastically lacked last year's post season. Keep this up and protect each other.
