Admittedly I had to watch this game while distracted, so I likely missed some key stretches of it, but while VV did bail them out multiple times it also felt like there were a few long stretches early in the game that were reminding me way too much of recent "losses where they should've won": Devils just controlling the puck in the offensive zone, basically living right by the net, yet the puck would seemingly grow wings and just float away from the net so that nothing would go in. Basically, it felt to me like the Devils could've easily had a goal or two in the first.
But still, after all those losses where the Devils were the better team, or at least equal to their opponent, yet came up short? I'm not about to look any gift horses in the mouth, let's keep rolling.
