Miracle Comeback!

The devils didn't play a full 100%, however it only took them 3:01 to play with 100% heart last night to come back from a 3-1 deficit. Ilya Kovlachuck helped out a lot last night especially on the game tieing goal.

The devils stayed back and watched too much last night. They came into the game with some excitement and scored early. But then they sat back. Kovlachuck is an amazing player but he isn't God. The team has to let him work in as any other and not a superstar. Just his presence will pull attention away from guys like zajac, parise, elias and langenbruner. We saw that work last night on the powerplay. The toronto foward expected a shot and closed up his body to block Ilya's shot. Ilya, being a smart player, saw the lane open and passed it right back to mchamond.

Lets use this finish and bring the energy into tonights game against the rangers.

Devils 4-3 over Toronto.
