Everyone seems to think Kovy and Zajac are in a funk. With Zajac I think this is true, but with Kovy--he gets points, or is a factor in every game. Today was a blessing with an absurd amount of PP opportunities (seriously 10 PPs, whoa), where Kovy can really dictate from the point. What is so awesome about the Devils is the contributions they get from every player in the line-up. Clarkson/Bernier set up awesome screens down front, while random players pick-up the goals. Today having guys like Butler (who's been great in Albany) and Matteau score is what makes the Devils a great team. Production can come from anyone at any time. These guys are playing as a team, which makes them dangerous, every game.
Did anyone else have a weird/painful flashback when Matteau scored? I was surprised Lou kept the kid after 5 games. Nice for him to get his 1st.
