The Devils are reeling. They are in last place and have a ton of injuries. Their definitely is a negative aura around them right now. I know one win won't be enough to get them out of their duldrums, but it definitely would be a great start. Winning cures all. And winning against your hated rivals would go a long way in getting the team on the right track. A win tonight against the stupid Rangers would not only give the team a two game winning streak, but it would make us fans a lot happier. Don't get me wrong- it wouldn't mask a 5-9-1 start, but it sure would raise spirits a little bit. We all HATE the Rangers. Beating them is always fun. So let's get it done tonight.
I am calling out three players - Marty Brodeur, Ilya Kovalchuk and Anton Volchenkov. All three of you need to step up and show your worth. These are bad times right now and we need leaders to help us get out of it.
Marty won't be able to step up until next time... Hedberg is officially starting tonight because of Brodeur's elbow.
ReplyDeleteSo let's call out someone else as well... Kovalchuk, Volchenkov and... Clarkson.
Clarkson who usually takes a stupid penalty in retaliation to something stupider that Sean Avery did. Clarkson who always tries to fight that little homo but can never really goad him into a fight, only to go against someone of less importance leaving said homo on the ice. Clarkson can make an impact by tweeking out Avery (or someone else) and drawing their stupid penalties. Of course this logic is based on the idea that the Devils' power play can actually produce, but still...
