9:40 - Devils lose… Sutter stands there looking like an idiot. Players don’t look happy and they shouldn’t. This was supposed to be our night but no one told the Senators that. Devils will be back here on Halloween night against the Lightning… The pimp in the pink is back behind Dano…they really need to keep people out of the area during this. My wife just said Dano’s hand is bigger than that kids head.
9:38 - Lots of chances… Ottawa looks to ice it.. OH CRAP… Alfredsson beat every one for it… 4-1
9:37 - Devils get a PP with 1:23 to go…. Fischer in the box for Tripping… Devils are 1 for 2 on the PP tonight with 3 shots
9:36 - Holy Scrum Batman….
9:35 - For those wondering, Red Sox up 5-0
9:33 - Two minutes to go… this isnt going as we wished… Icing called on the Sens.. Sutter takes a time-out
9:30 - Martin with a nice intercept and a shot right into the pads of Gerber….
9:29 - why didn’t we schedule the Thrashers or the Blackhawks for our first home game??
9:25- I knew they couldn’t keep the Sens 0-for on the PP … Fischer puts home a back breaker…
9:24 - Vishnevshy gets called for slashing and will sit…This isn’t a good time for a PK…
9:18 - Ottawa appears to be slowly getting a little more control of this game… Marty goes flying across the crease to make a save…Devils are making some ugly plays.
9:13 - I’d have to imagine that there is a goalie controversy going on in Ottawa. Gerber looks awesome so far this season and Emry we know is a very capable #1…. The just showed highlights of a missed Slashing call that led to the Ottawa goal..
9:12 - UGLY GOAL - Ottawa goes up 2-1 on some ugly play…Sean Donovan gets the goal…
9:11 - More crazy back and forth….Elias passes to no one with a wide open net…
9:10 - Chico said something about a penatly but the guy must be watching a different game.. TOO MANY MEN IN FRONT OF MARTY…Colin get better soon
9:08 - Brylin with a chance but it didnt work out, Ottawa back the other way… Wow this period is a lot of back and forth
9:06 - Eliase with a chance… Gerber got that one
9:04 - I will say the old broadcasts on FSN from the CAA were so dark and this arena shows up very nicely on TV.. back to the game
9:01 - Third Period coming and more talk of the scoreboard…I have to see this thing…
8:55 - This kid in the pink shirt behind Dano during the intermission report certainly thinks he’s a pimp….Pimp in a Pink Shirt….They need to not put people behind Dano during the intermission reports…
8:45 - End of 2, score is knotted at 1, shots on goal are Devils 23 Senators 15 so far (Ottawa out shoots NJ 10-5)
8:44 - Devils kill another one off
8:40 - Andy Greene will sit for jabbing at someone during a scrum on top of Marty…. Ottawa gets another chance..
8:37 - Fans are noticeably louder now after that goal and they are more noticeable now than they ever were in the Meadowlands…
8:35 - ITS A POWER PLAY GOAL….. Lucky bounce off a Senators skate so the first Devils goal at The Rock goes too….#14 Brian Gionta.
8:33 - Heatley gets another penalty, sits for slashing…
8:34 - Commercial break..penalty on the Senators upcoming…
8:30 - Box empty, Devils killed it
8:28 - Redden has a wicked hard shot…bounces off Marty to the corner…
8:27 - First NJ Penalty goes against Travis Zajac for hooking… he will sit for 2 and hopefully the Devils can kill this off and stop being the worst PK team.
8:25 Scoring change…Mezaros is being credited with scoring the first goal at The Rock, not Chris Neil…
8:24 - How many people are willing to bet that Derek Jeter doesn’t actually drive a Ford Edge…back to the game
8:18 - Well, that hurts.. Chris Neil deflects the puck under the cross bar Ottawa takes a 1-0 lead and we continue to struggle in second periods…Once again there are just too many people in front of Marty
8:15 - POWER PLAY GUYS…STOP GIVING UP SHORTHANDED ODD MAN RUSHES…
8:13 - Dany Heatley will go down as the first guy to receive a penalty at the Rock - Heatley will sit for 2 minutes for Cross Checking…
8:11 - Second Period ready to begin and Doc an Chico talk about the scoreboard again…I don’t, from the TV it doesn’t look that impressive so I wonder what it looks like in person.
8:01 - Wow the chick that sang the National Anthem was the chick from the Phantom of the Opera movie….ummmm No Comment…
7:55 - Period 1 at the Rock in the books… Devils outshot Ottawa 18-5 but nothing to show for it but an impressive showing against a very good Ottawa team…
7:52 - Nice 3 on 2 rush up the ice and Gerber had NO idea where that puck popped up to…
7:48 - I have to say, the Fire Louge looks awesome, at least from my couch….
7:45 - Rupp on a One on One and he’s got ZERO moves..
7:41 - Wow that was close…Ottawa dings one off the post…Yo..DING DONG…DING DONG YO…DING DONG…
7:40 - Dont you think Marty should have gotten more time to get acustom to the arena….
7:34 - I think I just saw my high school teams hockey jersey.. Go Morris Knolls!!
7:32 - I have to say, the Devils have come out with a little jump but now it seems awfully quiet…
7:27 - First icing in Rock History
7:24 - CMON Greene ..hold it in!!
7:20 Who sang the National Anthem? because that version was EXTREMELY long
7:08 - HELLS BELLS BABY!!!
6:52 - Radio City Christmas Spectacular commercial already?????
6:44 PM - Almost time to drop the puck at The Rock…. Is it me or am I the only one who hears either Sean Connery or The Rock when that name is mentioned??
October 27th, 2007 at 7:08 pm
I’ll comment.
She’s rather cute. Talent, looks AND a Devils fan. Quite a catch.
October 27th, 2007 at 7:14 pm
Ok so the next time one of Us goes to the Rock, bring Crazy Glue for Jon O, cuz He dropped His stick like twice already. I Loved the fact that Patty came out for the puck drop as the C rep. The Boys don’t look too bad(maybe a bit slow) they just need to put it in the net. VV looks pretty good tonight,so does Brookbank, He fires alot of rockets from everywhere like Jamie.
October 27th, 2007 at 7:16 pm
Geeze, is this Ott’s pp or is it the Dev’s?
October 27th, 2007 at 7:53 pm
I had a feeling that Ottawa was gonna score first. Seems like the hockey gods love to kick us in the teeth for our trouble and give them a lucky bounce for their goal. I thought then we’d probably fall apart. But we responded with a lucky bounce of our own…so who knows whats gonna happen.
October 27th, 2007 at 8:35 pm
New home…same lame team
I really cant stand Johnny Oduya either
October 27th, 2007 at 8:35 pm
This sucks… screw the Sens
October 27th, 2007 at 8:41 pm
The icing on the cake was the alfredson goal at the end. Please for the love of god hit the panick button Lou.
October 27th, 2007 at 8:51 pm
sure could have hoped for a better start in the Rock, but what the heck… and as for your comment on the people behind Dano and Cangialosi in between the periods… you’re absolutely right.. it’s one thing if you walk by and wave or something, but planting yourself behind them…. do those people “get off” by being seen on TV? and as for singer of National Anthem; it was Emmy Rossum who starred in the latest movie version of “The Phantom of the Opera” and also starred in latest version of “Poseidon”
October 27th, 2007 at 9:08 pm
What a crappy post game show, a bunch of kids picking their noses hanging onto Ken Danyekos arm, and no Sutter press conference WTF ???
This whole season is BS so far
hey its only 5 games, 6 games, 7 games 8 games, 9 games, 10 games
We might go 3-79 this year.
October 27th, 2007 at 9:24 pm
Where are all the comments ????????????
I hope the Devils play a lot of day games, cause I am tired of going to bed PISSED OFF after these lousy night games.
October 27th, 2007 at 9:55 pm
I was there tonight and the place is great. That’s the good news. The bad news is we suck.
I mean we’re aweful. No one can score. We can’t run any plays, we can’t put the puck in the back of the net and Sutter is completely lost on line combos. He needs to solidify lines ASAP so guys can get in a rhythm together. He was using Patty, Zub and Zajac on the same line. Then Asham with Parise. No, No, No. We’re lost and in need of some definate help and I mean fast.
I don’t know if they need an all out brawl fight type game where they stand up for each other, but something needs to happen because we’re not doing shiat.
The D played better than the O tonight. And the O had close to if not more than 30 shots on goal.
I’m not a happy camper. How could they not even show up to play tonight? Tonight of all nights.
They need to put the puck in the back of the net and fast or else we need to start trading guys.
October 27th, 2007 at 10:09 pm
the scoring board was amazing i must see…*sigh* it was still awesome..also, give credit to the devils fans on the trains..we cursed out the rags fans..one complaint..it tok 45 minutes to get into the arena..lame. i also saw my middle school math teacher on the scoreboard thingy, and my 8th grade english teacher on our train..weird.
still mega super nice. i saw the cup, booed gary bettman, got lots of pictures..STOOD 3 FEET AWAY FROM CHICO..that was probably the highlight of my night, and yelling “gomez swallows” to some rags fans on the train..everyone was cracking up..priceless
October 27th, 2007 at 10:17 pm
Alfredsson sucks, The Senators suck, The whole game just sucked. Are we ever going to get revenge on them? Where’s Jamie the Senaturd killer when you need him? I was so upset that Cam, Colin and Jamie were not recognized in that awesome intro with all the guys coming out. I wish I could have been there but to see them lose like that, maybe it’s for the better… -_-
October 27th, 2007 at 10:56 pm
oops didn’t see that you found out at 8:01 about Emmy…
my bad…
October 28th, 2007 at 9:41 am
And another loss,I’m going to keep hanging in here they will turn this around its just a matter of when. I read a very disturbing story on The Newark star Ledger site that White doesn’t know if He will ever play hockey again, He’s got some sight but at this point He doesn’t know if it will ever be good enough to play in the NHL.Oh Boy.
October 28th, 2007 at 4:36 pm
The Devils should plan NOT to get Whitey back, what I mean is they need defensive help anyway, a person of his style right now, so they should go out and get a player like him now, and if he comes back, great, if not, we already took care of his loss. Our team really is made up of average talent, and they have to over-perform every night just to compete…not so good. We just lost talent piece by piece over the last few seasons, and the talent was replaced with “hopefuls”, plus if Marty and Patty arent what they used to be, we are screwed….I think we have a very average team this season, with little help coming through the pipeline, thats a result of being so good for so long, and also bad signings/drafting/trades. Looks like we might miss the play-offs this year, these points we arent getting this month are gonna hurt come April.
October 28th, 2007 at 5:04 pm
WHAT?? i thought he just had a cut on his eye and it was swollen and that’s why he couldn’t see..oh god..also..a disturbing article on yahoo says patty has lost his game and his shot and is done for good. i heard somewhere jamie’s should be back within 2 weeks
October 28th, 2007 at 5:39 pm
Why is Oduya always on the ice when the other team scores? you think they’d bench him, not Mottau.
October 28th, 2007 at 7:43 pm
Yea, the outlook on Whitey isn’t so god, I read about it in the Tampa/St.Pete newspaper on Tuesday but was waiting for something a little more official than a newspaper hundreds of miles away.
October 28th, 2007 at 7:44 pm
Lou Lams and Sutter must have a reason Oduya plays so much….something behind the scenes, it’s the only thing I can think of, cause the entire world knows he’s not good enough to play in the NHL.
And now that Rachunek has a slight groin pull, we will see Oduya play mega minutes every game. Oh boy
October 29th, 2007 at 5:21 am
The coaching staff needs to get Oduya some of that black sticky stuff they gave Orlando Jones in The Replacements. Maybe then he will be able to hang onto his stick for an entire game… and also a GPS so he can find it later if he ever decides to cover the front of the net once he drops it.
October 29th, 2007 at 10:04 am
I like the Wierd Al reference at 7:41, almost made me lose my cookies… otherwise the game looked good until the 3rd period.
