In a far overdue post,here is some thoughts on the Devils dominating 4-1 win from Saturday night over the Philadelphia Flyers.
Nicklas Bergfors and Patrik Elias provided the offense with each scoring two goals.
Bergfors knocked both of his (10 and 11) on the power play while Elias scored his pair (5 and 6) at even strength.
Devils hockey returns tonight hosting Montreal at the Rock.
Hell Raisers
1) Nicklas Bergfors first goal was impressive to watch as he skated in avoided the Flyer defenseman (Braden Coburn,I think) and then fired the puck through Brian Boucher's pins for the goal.
Now,if we could just get Bergfors to shorten his shifts,which seems to be Jacques Lemaire's main issue with him.....
2) But as pretty as the Bergfors goal was Patrik Elias had one that exceeded that as Elias took a sharp pass from Brian Rolston and lazered it by Boucher.
Beautifully done by both players.
3) The pair of goals by Elias allowed the left winger to reach a career milestone with goals 300 and 301.
Elias trails only John MacLean as the Devils all time leading goal scorer.
4) Difference maker?
Martin Brodeur's stacking the pads save of Jeff Carter on a DEVIL power play.
Give Marty credit for a huge save,but thumbs down to that PP unit for giving the Flyers the opportunity to cut the lead to one goal....
5) When the puck drops for tonight's game,Martin Brodeur will tie Patrik Roy's records for most games played at 1.029.
So after the game against Ottawa on Friday and after his next shutout,Brodeur will hold about every record there is to hold...
