Devils still have fight. 2-1 over the ducks!

Despite more injuries to this team, the Devils were able to fight for the victory last night. Leading the way was our captain Jamie with the game winning goal. The Devils came out on fire in the first period recording the first 7 shots of the game. I hope the team keeps building off of this. The team was great back checking last night. Parise had a game saving play by lifting the stick of Selanne when he was sitting on the doorstep of his 612th. Awesome Win, lets bring this into the next game against LA.

Some Notables:

Marty has been sharp which seems to be a great starting point for this team. I thought he has been playing well the last two games despite the loss in San Jose.

Parise's goals will start to come, I still haven't seen a hockey player work so hard all the time. His sense of where to be on the ice is one of the best on this team.

Kovalchuck: I thought he played really well. His engergy level was there and he had opportunity. Kovalchuck crashing to the net on Vasyunov's pass was the reason Elias was able to score. If other teams are keeping a close eye on Ilya, then let's take advantage with the players left open, I'll take those goals everyday.

Kovy is getting paid the big bucks to shoot. In his case I'd rather him be a little selfish when he has the shot and just take it. There were a few additional opportunities that didn't amount to a shot. I think Kovalchuck can take quicker shots instead of that extra little touch and he will score more as well.

Langebrunner: Now that is how a captain needs to play!

Great Win! Let's string a few together. Lets Go Devils!
