Devils bounced in Brooklyn

Casey Cizikas knocked the puck past Cory Schneider with 2;12 remaining in the game and give the New York Islanders a 2-1 win over the New Jersey Devils in Brooklyn.
Travis Zajac's power play goal (5) early in the third period tied the game for the only Devil goal.
The Devils host Chicago on Friday in their next outing..

Hell Raisers

1) I was all ready to look at the two goals allowed by Cory Schneider and blame him,especially for the first goal.
But upon further review on NHL.com (I try to do that before I do these posts),neither were bad goals..

2) The first goal by Brock Nelson came after a excellent save by Schneider and then the puck bounced off Eric Gelinas and into the net.
Tough to blame the goalie there..

3) The game loser in this case isn't on Schneider either.
Andy Greene didn't clear the net on Casey Cizikas and after a Schneider save,the rebound was there for the taking.
Could Schneider have made more of an effort for the save? Perhaps,but as Jim Cornette once said "You can't hit what you can't see",

4) Outshot 33-24 by the Islanders after being well down on the shot amount against the Islanders on Saturday?
Could there be a problem on the horizon or are the Islanders just a bad matchup?
The Islanders just might be one of those teams that put more pucks on the net than their opponents..

5) Those alternate uniforms of the Islanders were awful,The logo brought to mind-the 1975 New York Giants football logo.
The "disco" logo was only used for one season and is generally disliked by Giants fans.
Add that almost all black and you had a pretty ugly mess on your hands....
