Magnificent Marty blanks Tampa!

Martin Brodeur stopped all 33 Tampa shots and Dainius Zubrus scored two goals ( 6 and 7) as the New Jersey Devils snapped a losing streak with a 3-0 win at a sparsely populated Rock.
  Damien Brunner scored the game's first goal (7) in the second period with a sharp wrister.
The Devils are off until Wednesday when they host Ottawa.

Hell Raisers

1) Martin Brodeur was very sharp in net as he collected his third shutout of the season.
I thought this was the best outing all season for the veteran as he was agile and mobile in swatting away Tampa attempts.

2) The best save came with the glove as Marty flat out snatched away a point blank bullet from the stick of Martin St.Louis.
Vintage work from the greatest goalie ever...

3) Damien Brunner was too fancy in a breakaway attempt against the Penguins Friday,but he must have remembered that as he was aggressive in a similar situation last night.
Nice moves and credit to Eric Gelinas for a nice pass...

4) Dainius Zubrus and Jaromir Jagr were busting their humps in the third period to pick up the offensive pace and it paid off with two goals for the line.
Zubrus has always been a player that teases more than produces,but I think something about Jaromir Jagr pushes Zubrus in a way that he hasn't been before..

5) Points to the penalty killers,who were strong all night,but especially at the end.
Tampa pulled Anders Lindback with roughly four minutes to go and the Devils stopped every attempt.
Nice work.
