Not a good hockey night.

Before I start ranting about the Devils game, let me complain about Lowell's wretched game. First of all, what made them think that JP could play like he did last night 2 nights in a row? Yeah, he's amazing, but he played so hard yesterday, common sense would have told them to give the guy a break. Of course, 29 saves is a lot, but come on. Anyone could have told them that this would have been the one time Doyle should have played. But, they're out of the playoffs, and that sucks for them. As mad as I am, I have to say they deserved it. They made some horrible mistakes (mainly the coaches and who they played and scratched) in the past few games and that costed them a couple wins they could have used. Anyway, Chris Minard scored his 32nd of the season from Ryan Murphy and Tuomas Pihlman, and Rod Pelley got his 16th from David Clarkson and Mike Pandolfo. 5-2 Pirates. In Jordan's defense, their 5th goal was an empty netter.

Now for the big guys. Tonights game was probably some of the worst hockey they've played recently. Yeah, 36 shots is a lot, but if you can only score 2 goals on that, it means nothing. All of their shots were crappy, as were their passes. None of them seemed to have their heart in the game tonight, with the exception of the PZL line. Actually, no. I hate to say it, but Travis wasn't playing his best tonight either. It was all Zach, Jamie, and about 1/2 of the defense. Even the EGG line was lame. They were just plain horrible. And Marty was pretty bad too. What makes him go behind the net to play the puck when there are 2 or 3 bolts, lurking to get the puck and score on him? Seriously. I don't know what happened, but I didn't like this game at all.

GOALS:
Zach Parise (PPG) from Rafalski and Langenbrunner
Jamie Langenbrunner (PPG) from Brian Gionta and Patrik Elias

3 STARS (Just mine, because the "actual" ones were the crappiest chioces ever):
#3-Gionta
#2- Parise
#1- Langenbrunner


If they keep this crappy playing up, they might as well not even bother. So they should either call up Clarkson or play Janssen and all will be right with the world.
