A shot of relief?

Not just one shot but a few. Goals by Shannahan and Pandolfo gave this team some of their fire back. I think its a safe insinuation that we're all relieved. There are some good points about the game even with letting up 4 goals on 21 shots. First off we kept the shots to under 30 again. We haven't seen that in 7 or 8 games. Another good point is the constant pressure we kept up in the second period. We finally were winning face offs and we were able to keep the puck in the offensive zone. The pinching of the defensemen was a key for this to happen. I'll take a breakaway goal by an opposing team every now and then if it means we are being more aggressive.

For a Nice look at the recap of last night check out the story on devils.nhl.com. Shannahan had some good things to say.

But in short I'm glad to see a W on the board. We are still 6 ahead of Philly and right now that is more then enough to build on. I'm glad to see Clemenson recalled but
not at the expense of another injured player. Get better Weekes.

Goodluck in Buffalo! Go Devils!
