Looked really good out there. Im pleased with how we played

I thought they played sloppy as hell. Other than the offensive having some life, I didnt see many positives out there.

I don't like Pete's personnel decisions. Harrold over Fayne, no Henrique un a shootout that goes 6 rounds. That Stephen Gionta is still on the team.

This team at best is a bubble team, can't be dropping points because of goofy personnel decisions. With the west trip this season could go off the rails quickly.

Devils still suck at the shootout. *yawn*
We've all seen this movie before.


But at least Brunner and Ryder showed us something POSITIVE.

Marty, though....man. He can't be letting in those softies and expect to get many games to start(or win many either)

Top 2 lines should stick for now, they look good. Everything else needs work. Overall this was a postitive game though.

Honestly I'm not even mad. Ya there is lots of stuff that needs worked on but there are plenty of positives to takeaway and it's losing in the skills competition. If this was a short season ya id question but it's not.

Fayne needs to play though and Volch needs to sit.

I think we played good too. For the most part.

If our goalie could stop a beach ball tonight and we weren't playing our #9 defenseman, I think we win this game.

In the car driving home from the game. Great game but you know what's not great? That brutal goal song. Chanting hey you suck was part of what made the games fun and pumped the crowd up. Not that I'm not going to games anymore, but this made it much less enjoyable. Bon jovi is not meant for hockey. That song makes me want to fall asleep. Even when the devils score. Pathetic.

Hey Devil fans, Bruin's fan here. Just wondered if any of you guys might think putting Clowe and Ryder on same line?? Both are from my piece of the earth, Newfoundland, Canada. Being only a small population, it's a big deal when a Nflder makes the Nhl...They've always been close friends and one is right and the other is left wing!! Just a thought to throw out there.

Just curious, I was wondering why Mark Fayne wasn't playing. Is he injured?? I always thought he was a good defenceman yet I never heard of him being hurt.

Anyway, good luck to the Devils tonight and this season. And the very best of luck and health to all you fellow fans of the greatest game on earth!!

So Ryder and Clowe on same line not a good idea or did I just post at a bad time??? Still cant believe one of your posters told me Fayne was a healthy scratch!!!:shakehead

Come on Bleed you can't hang this all on Marty. Especially when Cory gave up softies yesterday too. Ya it needs to be cleaned up and he should make those stops.

Still it's game 2 and it was just one of those games.

I'm more pissed about the goal song honestly.

You are not alone on that one.

If they get housed by the Oilers I'm firing up the 2010-o-meter. Do not like what I see at all and their schedule is ridiculously unfriendly until right after Thanksgiving.

Their defensive play is beyond sub-par. I think both goalies had decent (not great) games and the skaters make it as hard on them as humanly possible

Amen. Easily the worst part. Terrible choice overall

I didn't have a problem with the goals Cory gave up last night, other than the hideous rebound on the first goal. Goal 3 in that game was kinda borderline.

I just hope we don't have to keep starting Marty to let him work the rust off. Marty just rarely looks good to start the season. Last year was an exception.

Another thing that bothered me, putting the old slow line up against Grabner.

They got in general a good system, just some of the decisions are baffling at this point. There was a bunch last year as well (Continuing Kovalchuk at RW despite getting no production at even strength)
