You sing like crap,get off the stage

Odd title,I am sure,but watching the New Jersey Devils play so poorly in a 5-1 loss to the Flyers,I couldn't get Eugene Levy as Mitch Cohen in the Mighty Wind saying "You sing like crap,get off the stage,very inarticulate" out of my head.
Nothing that I could say sums the game up more than that.
The Devils only goal by Ilya Kovalchuk (39) was a meaningless third period goal with the Devils already down 4-0.
The Devils host Boston tonight at the Rock,lets hope a better effort comes forth than this disaster...

Hell Raisers

1) The Devils wanted this game.The Flyers HAD to have it with Philly being in a battle just to make the playoffs and the need/want issue showed on the ice.
Make any excuses that you want,but this game was a awful game by the Devils.

2) The Flyers are so beat at goal that Brian Boucher is the main guy and the backup has played 4 AHL games as his pro resume' and yet the Devils played this poorly?

3) Marty Brodeur was just average in the game,allowing four goals,but it could have been worse as he made some tough saves.
Brodeur was pulled after two and Yann Danis mopped up.

4) The forecheck and backcheck moved well,backward after a solid night against Montreal.
The Devils couldn't seem to get the puck consistently in the Flyer zone and out of their zone.
Simplistic?Yep.
Truthful? No Doubt.

5) The defensive corps was pretty putrid too.
Paul Martin made a few blunders,Bryce Salvador was down for the second game in a row,Colin White seemed to be wherever he should not be and Mike Mottau was Mike Mottau.

Bonus Round-Fire and Ice is reporting the Devils may moving the Lowell franchise,since they do not have a lease for next season.
The likely homes if the Devils leave are their former home in Albany,who will be losing their team to Charlotte next season and appears desperate to keep a team or possibly Trenton and then finding a new home for their ECHL team....
Ironic,how Albany wanted the Devils to leave and now the Devils are their last hope to keep hockey in the New York capital.
