Sounds like the end of a phone number,but it actually is the results of the New Jersey Devils final games before the Olympic break with a win over Nashville and a loss in Carolina.
The Devils stagger into the break with a two point lead over Pittsburgh for the Atlantic Division lead...
Hell Raisers
1) Ilya Kovalchuk scored his first Devils goal in the win over Nashville,but still seems to be looking for the right fit,especially on the power play.
2) Rob Davison and Cory Murphy were returned to Lowell with Matt Corrente being called up and Anssi Salmela being healthy enough to play against Carolina.
Mildly surprised about Corrente sticking around during the Olympic break though,I figured that the Devils would rather have him playing at Lowell.
3) I really miss Doc Emrick,who is prepping for Olympic play by play.
Steve Cangalosi fills in and he just doesn't measure up.
He isn't annoying on say Greg Brown level,but isn't a good play by play man either.
I must say his pronouncing of Anssi Salmela's name with an extra A "Salamela" bugged me after a while though.
4) I hate Carolina's alternate jerseys.
Mainly because the numbers are so difficult to read when watching the game
5) I don't have much more to say,although look for a Devs post later in the week,when more things pop into the keyboard.
I will have a post on the Lowell Devils sometime early in the week...
