and now a Lowell game that made me happy.

Lowell did something I did not see coming tonight. They came from behind, and won their game against the Providence Bruins, 4-3.

Bruins score at 4:41 and 9:46 to take the lead early in the game, only to have Chris Minard score his 28th of the season (from Dan McGillis) at 14:45 to cut the lead in half. 3:25 later, Mike Mottau scored his first goal of the season, from Grand Marshall and Ryan Murphy. The Bruins took the lead again at 9:48, but didn't hold on to it for too long. Marshall got his 8th from Murphy and Tuomas Pihlman. 5:26 into the 3rd, David Clarkson scored the final goal of the game, with Minatd and McGillis picking up the assists.

The Devils were 2/3 on the power play (Mottau and Clarkson), and Jordan Parise has 42 saves in their 36th victory of the year. The Devils currently have 83 points, and sit only 1 point out of fourth and 2 out of third. But we have a game at hand on the Sharks (3rd place), so hopefully we can do something about our lack of a play off postion.

Anyway..I have some good news, and some bad news. The good news? The penguimps lost their game against the laughs today. The bad news? It went into OT, so they still earned a point. More good news? Montreal won tonight, which kept the laughs out of the playoffs, ever though they won, and we have a game at hand on the pitts, so we can-no, will, take out rightful place, which is 1st in the Atlantic, after we win tomorrow.

Finally, a win at home.

I was kinda starting to think they forgot how to do that.

So scoreless game going into the 2nd, with about 10 amazing scoring chances for the failures, just in the first, but Brodeur's awesome, so they had nothing. Janssen beat the crap outta some kid, but that's not really a surprise, now is it?

As usual, my feelings were right. At around 18 into the 2nd, I thought the Devils were gonna score, and it was gonna be someone who doesn't score too much. Sure enough, at 18:40, Mike Rupp scored his 6th of the season from Brad Lukowich (saw that coming) and Andy Greene. A minute and 10 seconds later (19:50, for those of you who suck at math like I do), Travis Zajac netted his 17th of the season (6th PPG) from Zach Parise and Brian Rafalski. Again, I had said at the beginning of the game he would continue his point scoring streak (which is now 8 games), and that Brad Lukowich, the flyer killer, would have either a goal or an assist. Anyway, enough of you hearing about my awesomeness and back to the game.

2-0 into the 3rd, until 14:03 when the failures decided to score. And those silly geese actually thought they could score again and at least go into OT. But, they were wrong, as usual, and Jay Pandolfo score the empty netter (11th of the season) from Colin White. Now, back to my awesomeness. I knew Brodeur would almost get yet another shutou, and sure enough, he did. But all those amazing saves he had made up for that crap goal.

As surprising as this may sound, I was *gulps* wrong about one thing. I was almost positive Elias would have a goal or an assist, but i was wrong. And I have some more good/bad news. Johnny Madden returned today, but what did that mean for David Clarkson? Yep. Bye bye, David. Hope to see you again. On a brighter note (again), Brian Gionta is expected to return on Sunday. I was excited about that.

3 Stars (from the actual game):
3- gag me, er, gagne (phailures) (1g)
2- Zajac (1g)
1- Rupp (1g)

The real 3 Stars (mine):
3- Rupp (1g)
2- Brodeur (45th win of the season)
1- Zajac (1g, 8 game pt streak)

3/28: Devils @ sabres

I'm sorry, I lied. My spoiled brat of a sister stole the computer and of course, I got in trouble for her lack of manners and couldn't get on until now.

So, that was a rather uneventful 1st period. No penalties, no goals, nothing. Cam Janssen tried to get at one guy quite a few times, but the refs are lame, so that didn't happen. But Marty Brodeur had some pretty amazing saves, until now, when he decided to let them score. Damn sabres. I need to think of a nasty name for them..Pardon me while I do so.

[edit] Oohhh, a power play!! Let's hope we can score on it. I don't like it when we lose. Not at all. Especially when we're tied with the penguimps.

[edit] Nothing on the power play. Big surprise there. Come on, Devils. Especially you, Mr. Parise. Make your daddy proud.

[edit] Nice save(s) by Brodeur. And way to get a 4-on-4, Clarkson. Well, at least it's not power play for the sabs. And now, I'm in shock. Not because of Clarkson in the box, but because of the 2 goals in 2 games for snott gomez. Crap. Didn't see that coming. (Assists from Patrik Elias and Brian Raflaski)

[edit] In other news, the Lowell Devils are winning 3-1, almost at the end of the second, with goals from Ryan Murphy, Grant Marshall (funny how they were just talking about him), and Stephen Gionta. Keep it up, guys.

[edit] Man, the sabres must really hate Rasmussen. I swear, half of the Devils' shots must have been from him. White had quite a few shots too.

[edit] Uh oh. gomez to the box. I hope they don't do what they did last night, where he scores, get a penalty like 2 minutes later, and then the other team gets a PPG. If it does, trust me, he's not gonna be too happy.

[edit] Huh. Lowell had 20 shots when the 2nd intermission started. I just checked the site like a minute ago, and it's still the intermission, but they now have 5 more shots, and the Falcons have 17, as opposed to the 15 they had before. Go figure. And nice power play kill for the Devils.

[edit] Note to ryan miller: I'd like you a whole lot more if you would ket the Devils score some more, mmmk? Trust me, you want me to like you. I have connections to Good Charlotte.

[edit] Perfect timing, much?? I just started listening to the Lowell game, and as soon as I put it on, Rod Pelley scored, fom Chris Minard and Barry Tallackson. So I'm excited. I know he's not exactly a favorite with the bug guys, but I really like him. 4-1, Lowell, about 4 minutes into the 3rd.

[edit] Aww, man, a PPG for the Falcons..4-2, Lowell, tho. That's good. But I did like the 4-1 lead better.

[edit] And a note to..someone (sorry, I can't remember his name): Don't mess with Tomas Harant, or Mark Fraser will be all over you like..wait, that's too dirty. But I think you get the picture..

[edit] ^^ the guy's last name is Baby. HAHA!!

[edit] MARTY!! you suck harder then my little sister!! It's like the gomez curse. He wasn't in the box, but almost every time he scores, the next goal is by the other team.

[edit] well, the Devils are losing, but Lowell won 4-2. That's good. But I hope the Devils can do the same.

[edit] Ok, Marty, you SUCK. Seriously. Stop dreaming about your sister in law, and do your job. In case you weren't aware of this, we kinda need to win.

[edit] Thank you, Paul Martin!! 3-2 now, with Martin's goal from Zach Parise and Travis Zajac. Whoo!!

[edit] Ok, sabres, I know you all got aids from screwing your dads, but please, don't take it out on us. And all I have to say is bye, bye, division title.

[edit] I hate the sabres. And the penguimps. A lot. And seriously, every time someone has they're family at the game and Doc's talking about it every freaking seecond, we lose. He's like world's biggest jinx. Sigh..and the Devils don't even get an awesome picture this time..But Lowell does.

Yeah, I'm not feeling very creative.

[final edit] Great..I missed Zach Parise's goal (from Zajac and gomez) because my dad decided he didn't want to watch the last 5 seconds. GRR!! But, on the bright side, Zajac's point scoring streak is now 7 games which is the longest one for rookies.

My 3 stars?:
3- Patrik Elias (only because I hate gomez)
2- Travis Zajac
1- Zach Parise

now I have a problem with the actual ones. I mean, someone on the sabs gets the #2 star because they has 2 assists. Uhm, so did Zajac and gomez, and Parise had a goal and an assist, and none of that is star worthy? Yeah, ok. I told you, they all hate us.

That picture I promised..

Here it is:

3/27: Devils @ islanders

Well, I have nothing better to do, so I'm gonna be typing my little heart out during the game. Aren't you lucky?

[edit] WHOO!! Goal numero 30 for Mr. Zach Parise, from Travis Zajac and Sergei Brylin!! See what you missed by passing that stud muffin up, you stuid islanders?

Oh yeah.. Erik Rasmussen is playing..YAYY!!

[edit]

Zajac and Elias got one, so why not Parise?

[edit] Oohh, that must of hurt. gotta watch that net, Jamie. seriously. I love Jamie, but how many times has he crashed into the net in the last couple games?

[edit] Well, now seems like a good time to mention it, since Doc must have said the Devils are doing a great job defensively about a million times , but I emailed Stan Fishler, asking if he knew/had an idea when Richard Matvichuk will play his one game to make him eligible for the playoffs. His response?:
WISH I COULD TELL YOU; ONLY LOU KNOWS. STAN.

[edit] That was a very nice save by Brodeur, dontcha think? I do.
[insert awesome picture of Brodeur with an equally as awesome quote thing that i'm too lazy to make]

[edit] Man, so close, Patrik. He may have missed, but I'm still very happy he's back. Like, more happier then I should be.

[edit] Aww, man, an intermission. Don't worry, I'll be back before you know it. And during this lame intermission (I HATE versus), I'll be making some awesome pictures with awesome quote type things for you to enjoy.

[edit] Game's back, I'm back. Isn't that amazing, how that works? anyway, here's that awesome picture I promised. it's lame, but, then again, so am I. And that's islanders 0 (it's not functioning properly for me)

[edit] Am I crazy, or did Scott Gomez actually score? Actually, it's both. But good for him. And the Devils. It's now 2-0. Elias and Oduya got the assists, if you care.

[edit] Ok, that was not a nice save by Dunham or what ever his name is. It was mean.

[edit] Thanks, gomez! Another PP for the craplanders. At least he actually scored.

[edit] Screw that. gomez, you suck. Like that's news to anyone.

[edit] At least we have the PP now. Hopefully we can do something with it like last time. But I still hate gomez.

[edit] Yet another useless power play for the devils..sigh..

[edit] Come on, guys, I know you're trying, but Marty can't do everything. Well, actually, he probably could, but don't make him.

[edit] End of the second already?! Time flies when you're..doing stuff..haha I edited this crap a lot..I really need a life..

[edit] Sorry about the delay, but my mom stole the computer from me during what seemed like the longest intermission ever. Anyway, goal number 3 for rookie David Clarkson, his 2nd power play goal, from Jamie Langenbrunner and Brian Rafalski, soo now it's 3-1. Dunham was crying over the goal and was replaced by another goalie from the craplander's seemingly endless supply of them.
[insert picture of Clarkson scoring/celebrating with some awesome quote cuz i cant find a good picture to use]

[edit] Seriously, craplanders, go screw your moms. Oh, wait! You all have 2 dads!!
I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist. And I didn't mean for that to be offensive to anyone.

[edit] You know, I noticed something. Doc seems to be the biggest jinx for the Devils, ever. It's crazy. Everytime he says something about how well we're playing or whatever, the other team scores. Plus, I don't think we ever lost when he wasn't doing the commentary. And another thing, I hatehatehatehatehateHATE versus. Their commercials suck more then the channel.

[edit] The Devils won!! Who would have guessed? I wouldn't have. And now we not only tied with the pits yet again, leaving us in second still, we clinched a playoff shot. That's about as good as it gets. Now if only sidney crosby and sean avery would disappear off the face of the earth, I'd be set. Gimme a couple minutes, and you'll get an awesome picture. Either that, or you'll get one tomorrow after the game.

[final edit] I found one good picture of Clarkson to use, but my computer is mentally challenged, so yeah..hopefully I'll get it to work right soon.
