Down But Not Out, But Close
Wednesday, May 10th, 2006I won’t give up until the fat lady sings, or in our case, Arlette stops singing at the Meadowlands.
But it’s really close. The Devils could be done in time for Mother’s Day.
Heads up to Matvichuk, Lukowich, Klee and Albelin: hope you enjoyed New Jersey. Fast, young, aggressive skaters who get to the puck and clear the zone are the new rule in the new rules of the NHL. Dumpy veterans who dump the puck into the high slot so it turns into a goal against are on the way out, literally. When I start picking out the defensive mistakes, it’s bad.
I hope Langenbrunner didn’t upset Lou too much tonight. Jamie’s a good guy and a good skater. Sergei Brylin might need to be worried, and the Devils might become the one of the only NHL teams without a Russian skater.
Attention all spouses of Devils fans: Expect this behavior for at least two more days, possibly until September.
