Czech it

Ha, I crack myself up. Ok, so moment number 8 (is it that many already?) happens to do with Rod Pelley, who's supposed to become the next John Madden, who happens to be the the Devils' checking center (for all you non-Devils fans). Pelley started the game with three goals, and ended with six. For all of you who aren't good at math, that's three goals in one game, which we in the hockey world call a hat trick (unless it's done by Patrik Elias, which is called a Pat-trick. Get it?). The Devils had a 3-0 lead after 23 minutes, courtesy of Pelley, Nicklas Bergfors and David Clarkson. Seven minutes into the third, the Wolf Pack had tied the game at three. No worries. Justin Papineu and Pelley scored, making it seem as if the Devils had it in the bag. But the last minute was more insane than I am. With an empty net behind them, the Wolves got with in one. As if their hopes of at least going into OT being squashed wasn't enough, Pelley netted an empty netter with three seconds left to record the first Lowell hat trick ever.

Now, where does the Czech come in? Right here. Petr Vrana may not have turned out to be what the Devils hoped, but you sure can't say he was bad.

Kind of funny how his stats were so similar to Nicklas Bergfors' and neither had the type of season that was expected, right?
