Devils battle Bruins tonight after Sunday win


The New Jersey Devils take on the Boston Bruins tonight for the first time this season.
The Devils won a sloppy,uneven effort on Sunday in the shootout for a 3-2 win over the Flyers.
Jamie Langenbrunner had to score to keep the shootout going with the Devils down 1-0 and the captain came through.
A Scott Clemmensen save gave Travis Zajac the chance to win the game next and Zajac did just that for the win.
Devils goals to Patrik Elias (16) and Brian Rolston (3).

Hell Raisers

1) The game really was three different games.
A dull first period,the second to the Devils and the third to the Flyers.

2) Scott Clemmensen really kept the Devils alive in the overtime with two great saves with one being dead on from Jeff Carter of the Flyers.

3) The game may have been sluggish due to the 1 PM start time.
Not many games start at one and the players for both team could have been off their body clock.

4) Really looking forward to tonight's game against the surprising Bruins.
Boston seems to be the real deal thus far.

5) The game is also a chance to get to see a favorite of mine in Boston left winger Milan Lucic.


Bullpen Notes

Mark Teixeria to the Yankees.
What a surprise and it sure is nice to see that the economy has helped the Yankees stay fiscally sound.

The Post-Gazette reports the Pirates are interested in Rocco Baldelli.
The talented Baldelli could be quite a steal,if he has finally kicked the injury habit.....

Until tomorrow with Devils-Bruins and a look back at Seattle in the snow.
