Marty Brodeur played his best game of the year and basically stopped the Rangers all evening,except for one Ranger.
That was someone named Nigel Dawes,who scored both Blueshirt goals in a 2-0 Rangers win.
The loss concludes the horrific road trip at 3 wins,5 losses and 1 overtime loss for 7 points.
Not a great trip,but not a total disaster and the Devils now will have to take advantage of the extra home games from here on out.
Marty did more than one could ask for as the first Dawes goal left him out to dry as Johnny Oduya and Karel Rachunek screwed up a pass.
Rachunek attempted to pass to Oduya,who wasn't paying attention as he left the ice.
Dumb play by Rachunek and Oduya might have been paying attention a little more to the game.
In any case,Brodeur actually,In my opinion,played better than Lundquist,but the win is what counts,but it is nice to see Marty rounding into form.
The defense was not as awful as it has been lately,with the exception of the mentioned miscue,but simply no offense at all.
Some of these guys need to step up.
The Devils play their 1st game in the Prudential Center Saturday vs the high-flying Ottawa Senators.
Bullpen Notes
Tonight in Lexington is the big OCC title game between the Ashland Arrows and the Lexington Minutemen.
The game is televised locally,but I am unable to see it.
Coverage here tomorrow.
I wonder what happened last night in Fox Sports Ohio headquarters.
Midway through the first quarter of last night's Strongsville-Solon battle,the screen flickered and for the rest of the night showed the Columbus Blue Jackets vs St.Louis Blues off the St.LOUIS feed!
Someone botched one there!
Kudos to Ryan for pointing out LastFM.
