Devils shutout in Boston 3-0

The modest winning streak ended at two for the New Jersey Devils as the Devils were shutout by the Boston Bruins 3-0 in Boston.
Cory Schneider allowed two goals on 43 shots in a strong effort for New Jersey.
The Devils face the Islanders on Friday before a West Coast road swing.

Hell Raisers

1) Cory Schneider was tremendous in net with 41 saves and neither goal was an awful one.
Schneider was the only Devil to truly come to play and his play is what kept the Devils as close as it was...

2) Allowed 43 shots on goal?
Thats a ton and the Devils defense didn't do a lot to keep those numbers down.
The defense was a step slow all night and didn't keep the Bruins away from the slot or the net often enough...

3) Only 14 shots on net?
A weak offense effort in one of the easiest shutouts that a goalie can and it was Niklas Svedberg that reaped the easy shutout on this night.
Only a Jon Merrill power play chance was a hard save for Svedberg and Scott Gomez hit a post once.
Just a pitful effort,

4) I'm stopping at four tonight because I don't feel like writing any further about such a crappy effort.
If the Devils would not have gotten such a great effort out of Cory Schneider,the Devils would have deserved to lose by twice as many goals.
So much for that turnaround....
