Confidence Builder, A little relief

It was nice to finally get a point and even better to get 2. This season's start was a little rocky, but what else would you expect with 7 new guys in the starting lineup, and one of your top point scorers out. Tonights 4-3 shootout win over the Lightning. The team made much better passes and kept strong on the forecheck. Zajac, with 2 goals on the season has been playing as a top centerman should. Parise finally broke ground tonight with his first goal of this season.

The Lightning are a strong young team tonight's win is not taken lightly. It is a strong confidence booster for the team, as well as Brodeur. With almost 40 saves it is a good start to regaining his youth. The first two games Marty looked a little off. With a few goals in the Flyers and Rangers game that he would definitely like to have back. The team is growing and learning. It might not seem like a long season afterall!

We will be starting a new part of this blog. We are calling the Doghouse. Currently in the Doghouse for the Devils is Paul Martin. He has been a little shaky on D. Especially with the mishaps in front of the net and few extra turnovers. He needs to rebuild his confidence as we need him and oduya to be more involved with the offense.
