Devils bitten by Shark shootout 2-1

Adam Henrique tipped in (2 Power Play) a Damon Severson shot late in the third period to give the New Jersey Devils their first point of the year by forcing overtime against the San Jose Sharks.
That point would all the Devils would get as the Sharks would score with each of their two shooters in the shootout in a 2-1 San Jose win.
The Devils play on Sunday against the Rangers.but coverage is unlikely as they play at the same time as the Browns against the Broncos.

Hell Raisers

1) One piece of controversy was in the second period as the Devils killed off a penalty.
Stephen Gionta drove the net against Martin Jones and took a light push,Gionta made contact with Jones and Jacob Josefson fired the puck into the net.
The referee quickly waved the goal off.
I thought the call was OK,Gionta made enough contact that the puck would have never made it into the net without the interference...

2) The Adam Henrique goal was a deflection off an absolute missile from the stick of Damon Severson.
The sound of the shot was even different as Cherie turned and said "Did you hear how hard that sounded" ?
It was so fast that it wasn't until the official announcement that anyone even thought about Henrique getting the goal!

3) Cory Schneider finished with 33 saves and stopped Patrick Marleau on a penalty shot.
Schneider wasn't a force in the shootout as Joe Pavelski and Brent Burns each beat him,but I thought he notched a nice game otherwise....

4) Other than that,it was another uninspiring offense night for the Devils,who had few offensive chances and seem disjointed on the offensive end.
This team just doesn't have the weapons to compete and short of a trade,they won't have one anytime soon...

5) Travis Zajac missed the game with a "lower body injury" and for whatever one thinks of Zajac,he is dearly missed on faceoffs.
The Devils might be suited considering their offensive issues to bring in a veteran that can win faceoffs because other than Zajac,the Devils sure aren't winning them now..

6) I love the 3 on 3 overtime!
It flows so much with all the open ice and I had as much fun watching the overtime as I have watching hockey in quite in a while.
I hammer on the NHL for their thinking and fixing things that often aren't broken (the shootout),but this is a great idea and finally they have a winner!

7) Mr Met was in the house and who could turn down the opportunity to use a Mr Met on the Zamboni photo???
