Janssen decapitated, Devils lose
Published: September 17, 2007
There’s a silly little pre-season game goin’ down in Trenton tonight, where surprisingly enough, the Devils were actually the home team against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Alas, this was in name only, for two reasons. A) Trenton is practically Philly. And 2) the starting lineup for black ‘n red really consists of many Baby Devils rather than Big Devils.
Of course, with such a display, should it really have been expected for the Devils to win?
Surely, one would know the answer to such a silly question.
Regardless, Philly kicked the crap outta the boys, uh, somewhat literally, defeating New Jersey 3-2.
Yes, there were about nine million fights, and Cam Janssen apparently lost all of them. He also lost his head and appeared to injure his fightin’ hand.
Poor Cam.
For inquiring minds, Zach Parise and Andy Greene netted goals for New Jersey. It should also be noted that newbies Karel Rachunek and Arron Asham tallied primary assists on each goal. Woo.
It ain’t all bad, folks.
UPDATE: Word is Cam suffered an injured shoulder in last night’s contest. Janssen missed 11 games last season with a shoulder dislocation.

So, basically, it was a typical Devs-Cryers game. Did they even have a first period? These were the 1st period penalties:
C Janssen, Njd (major fighting), 5:22; J Boulerice, Phi (major fighting), 5:22; B Eager, Phi(high sticking), 5:27; J Smith, Phi (major fighting), 6:50; D Clarkson, Njd (major fighting), 6:50; A Asham, Njd (major fighting), 11:20; R Cote, Phi (major fighting), 11:20; B Eager, Phi (major fighting), 11:21; M Rupp, Njd (major fighting), 11:21; J Boulerice, Phi (major fighting), 11:22; C Janssen, Njd (major fighting), 11:22; S Hartnell, Phi (unsportsmanlike cond), 12:03.
Poor Cam ;-(

The Flyers started Biron…typical Philly bush league move. Well if Janssen is hurt…it frees up a roster spot…I guess.
All in all…that first period was awful.

First Jamie, now Cam. I’m not likin this preseason too much.
NJDevil on Tue, 18th Sep 2007 7:13 am
Fighting is actually very big in the preseason. Guys are fighting for their jobs. I’m not too concerned about the fights, would actually like to see them. Anybody got them, or any highlights from the game?
What’s with these new jersey’s? Why do they rip so easily?

Boulerice vs Janssen
by: Agnes / sunrise_is_brutal
Tom Gulitti is reporting Cam Janssen has injured his shoulder during last night’s Flyers vs Devils game:
Enforcer Cam Janssen might have injured his shoulder tonight because of the league’s new Reebok Edge sweaters. His sweater ripped during his two first period fights with Philadelphia’s Jesse Boulerice. That might have helped Boulerice pull Janssen’s jersey over his head in both altercations and win both decisively. Arron Asham also had his sweater tear during his fight with Riley Cote.
“These new jerseys are supposed to make you faster, but what good are they if they tear that easily,†Mike Rupp said.

I was wondering if Cam forgot to buckle his fighting strap or something. That’s a little more disturbing though.

I saw both Cam fights and the Asham fight on You tube, and I have to say Our Boy’s did not do too well at all in these fights, if it’s just because the Flyers gave them more then they could handle thats not a situation that thrills Me,because their roles are to play their game and protect our smaller Guys but,I guess I can live with that, but if they lost the fights because of the New overpriced Jerseys then that is extremely disturbing because there are more players that will be hurt because of it. If the Fan’s have to shell out all of that money to get one,just to have it get trashed in the washing machine. Buttman will have alot of backlash from the Fan’s We already can’t afford tickets. I hope Cam is back on the Ice soon, this is the 2nd time He has injured that shoulder in a fight, Poor Cam.

faster my butt. They’re so sleek, they don’t even stay on! Just great. Mike Rupp has never been more right.
Let me just say, the title of this post is really, REALLY freaky.
Get well soon, Cam. You too, Jamie.

Oh I looked ahead on my remote for Fri night and it looks like MSG will be showing the Dev’s/Ranger’s pre season game, how cool will that be? of course since We will be able to watch it, it will probably be un-eventful, no Colton vs Cam,bummer.on these new jersey’s, when was the last time a player said,” My game would be so much better if I didn’t have this damn wind resistance problem”.
ILoveJamie15 on Tue, 18th Sep 2007 8:14 pm
Sweet!
I hope Clarkson and Asham kick some butt for Cam.
Let’s hope they go back to those CCM jerseys.
There was nothing wrong with them!
How many more guys have to get hurt before they see how stupid this new reebok crap is?

I was at the game and as a Flyers fan it was great to see them come out witht he guns blazing. This is not the team it was last season.
If the jerseys are that crappy (and WAY overpriced) this is a problem. I Butt-man won’t do something about it maybe the NHLPA will fight it for the players.
Shari on Wed, 19th Sep 2007 5:34 pm
So this is not good, Jamie needs surgery, Cam needs surgery, and White takes a puck to the eye and now it’s swollen shut. And just think We are only in Pre-season.

crap.
