Travis Zajac (9 Power Play) and Jordin Tootoo (6) scored for New Jersey,who travels to Columbus for an unusual 5;00 start tomorrow night...
Hell Raisers
1) I've been critical of Devils fans and media deluding themselves about playoff viability and I stand by that,but the effort was there tonight.
Perhaps not the skill,but the effort especially in the third period was there.
Nice to see...
2) What wasn't so nice were the two breakdowns that cost the Devils this game.
Adam Larsson was lazy on a clear in the first that quickly found its way into the goal.
Just can't get that little on the puck when pressured in your own end.
3) The other came in overtime.A 4 on 2?
Patrik Elias and Martin Havlat crossed each other up and the result looked like the flying V from the Mighty Ducks.
You don't expect veterans to make plays like that...
4) Loved Jordin Tootoo's game tonight.
Put the goal aside,look at the hits and effort.
I wouldn't be surprised to see some interest in Tootoo at the trade deadline after his play of late...
5) We had to laugh when the game started and Steve Cangelosi referred to the Rock as "sold out and not a seat to be found" when there actually appeared to be more empty seats than people in the lower bowl.
Between stuff like this and the "push for the playoffs" make the announcers seem more like salesmen for the front office than commentators....
