In a dominant performance,the New Jersey Devils crushed the visiting Carolina Hurricanes 6-1 behind 4 goals from the defensive corps.
And we promise no Neil Young or Scorpions references this time!
Paul Martin scored two goals(4 and 5) to lead the team,while Colin White started the scoring with his second of the year in the first period.
But the goal of the night went to Johnny Oduya (3) with a end to end solo rush to beat Cam Ward.
We give Oduya a lot of ridicule here,but that was one beautiful goal!
Dainius Zubrus snapped a long scoring drought with his 9th of the season on a second period powerplay.
Jay Pandolfo's 10th of the year ended the Devils 6 goal evening.
Simply put-this may have been the Devils best 3 period game of the season and it certainly came at the right time with two of their next three games coming against the powerful Ottawa Senators.
Hopefully this is the beginning of a trend,not an aberration.
Devils Players of the Game
Gold:Paul Martin-2 goals
Silver;Johnny Oduya-1 awesome goal
Bronze:Marty Brodeur-Great in goal
Bullpen Notes
After months of basically begging the Pirates for a non-roster chance to return to Pittsburgh,Craig Wilson finally grew tired of waiting and signed a minor league deal with the Cincinnati Reds.
Not sure what Wilson has left,but it could not have hurt to give the popular former Bucco a chance to bolster what looks to be a pretty weak bench.
A good article from Slate on a favorite energy(and money) saver and environment enhancer of ours-Compact Fluorescent light bulbs.
I have raved about them before,but well worth looking into,if you have not done so already.
Two days away from the Maryland primary.
I pretty much have decided where my vote will go and could post about it tomorrow or Tuesday,since both seem to be slow days.
In a surprising move,the Redskins hired a favorite of ours in Jim Zorn to be the head coach in Washington.
I always liked Zorn,but that will be a tough job as long as Dan Snyder owns the team and even tougher considering it will be Zorn's first job at a position higher on the food chain than QB coach.
Only NASCAR could get excited about an exhibition race.
Nascar has hit its peak and as I talked to Ryan yesterday about this,he offered an interesting point that it will always have its fans,always have a solid TV deal,but the peak is over.
I tend to agree.
