The New Jersey Devils were booed throughout their 2-0 loss to the Ottawa Senators at the Rock after Kyle Turris scored both Ottawa goals..
Cory Schneider finished with 15 saves,but it only takes one when your team doesn't score.
The Devils have now lost five games in a row.
Hell Raisers
1) Patrik Elias said that the team didn't deserve to be booed and they were the better team.
That's all well and good,but five losses in a row,fading playoff hopes with 50 games to go in the season-what would you expect?
2) 0 for 5 for the Devils power play against Craig Anderson,who played well.
What's worse was that the team didn't have a lot of even good chances on the man advantage.
That's disappointing after the Devils had seemed to be turning the corner on the PP...
3) The Devils did put 34 shots on net against Anderson and the difference did come down to one bad break-the Kyle Turris goal was a odd redirection.
Ottawa got a break,the Devils didn't,It does happen...
4) The defense played well and really was the dominant part of the game.
Eric Gelinas was very good and Marek Zidlicky was better than normal.
Andy Greene was solid as well.
The Devils cannot blame the blueliners for the loss...
5) Craig Anderson was spectacular,but Cory Schneider was fine as well.
The Devils really did control the game and the effort was there.
The problem is that this team just isn't that good.
I know I've been promising a feature on the team and it's coming,but until then this and it pains me to say this-this team's fault just might be more than Peter DeBoer...
