Well, I have said several times that I was concerned about the Devs lack of scoring. Nine goals in 2 games have allayed my fears. Things are looking good!
My Guys – Scott Stevens set up the first 2 goals and both John Madden and Brian Gionta scored a goal each. Scott Gomez and Jay Pandolfo also scored.
Our group in section 111 groaned collectively when Marty lost his shut out bid with 13:47 remaining.
The Sabers pulled goalie, Biron, shortly after Gionta scored the Devils 3rd goal, but not before he broke his stick in a little display of temper. He bashed it over the goal, and then whacked it on the ice. Naughty, naughty. I'm surprised that he didn't get an unsportsman-like conduct penalty. Not sure whether he was mad at himself or mad at his teammates. The Sabers weren't playing very well and the Devils were.
I don't know what is keeping the fans away, but the crowds have been dismal. Come on, people! This is the defending Stanley Cup Champions we're watching here and they're playing some exciting hockey as well. I know that the economy is bad and tickets are expensive, but where are all the people who should be filling those already sold seats downstairs.
The Devils have been touting the merchandise catalog and teasing us with clips about “Three Cup” merchandise. I'm looking forward to seeing it, but so far the catalogs have yet to be seen.
Thursday, Dec. 4th is the Toys for Tots drive. So come on down and bring a new unwrapped toy. It's such a good cause. The Devs will be facing off against the Washington Capitols.
