how the hell we started with a 2-0 lead in the first 10 minutes of the first to tied up in the end of the second is beyond me. bloody hell.

yea, your defence this year has been horrible and the only reason you really won that game tonight was because Budaj played like garbage. In the first game against my boys this season where to remind you we won 6-0. Kipper had no chance on about 4 of those..your blue line is garbage. Im not sure there is a need for new players, but maybe try some other pairs and they just need to be cohesive with one another.

^pretty much. i'll agree that the defense has a lot to do with it, but 17 goals let in in 3 games speaks for itself, even if he had "no chance" on 4 of those. kipper and the defensive line better be getting their asses handed to them in the locker room right now.

Well quiet start for the Devils... 2-1 with an OT win... Don't look like scoring too much atm... Will hope the back and Brodeur can hold up in games... And blown out by the fkn Rangers

I have a question for you. Do you hate Mike Keenan as much as everyone else does? Cause hes a dirtbag.

Too bad the Devils have one of the worst d-lines in history and have had it since the Niedermayers left last decade. It happens every year: Brodeur carries the Devils into the playoffs and he can't hold up singlehandedly to strong offensive lines. Not saying anything against the Atlantic Division, but until your GM gets his priorities straight it's not gonna come together.

Celebratin' an OTW tonight against the phucking Flyers, had a few nice plays and it was good to defend the last matchup. The Frenchman scored on a nice transition with 0:10 remaining in overtime, 'twas sweet.

Prittay prittay much...

I get told we always choke come playoff time when it simply isn't true... Brodeur's just ****ing tired by years end

EDIT - Just watched the other games for the year (Have to dl, not on ESPN/FoxSports here yet)...
D line still too many mistakes...

Continued from last year the PP should suck again

On a good note, Brods only needs 17 more career wins to break Patrick Roy's old record of 551...

Pretty much...and hockey and football are my faves. So we have no NHL, and our NFL team sucks arse. Go figure.

I love Marty. My sabres doing well so far 3-0. I always root for the Devils unless they are playing Buffalo.
