Nasty – I was at the game too. The fans booed Poti not Nylander. Sam Rosen was wrong.

This is a huge loss and it really shouldn’t be.

I just spent some time reading over all the missives here. Clearly there are a lot of frustrated fans. You are not alone.

Some positives: Our D is stellar. Toots is clearly a 1st pair guy. Anyone see him crush Christensen last night? His game gets better every week. Girardi is solid and strong. Staal needs to season a little more but he is solid. Our GAA is excellent so far and Hank is playing great. Yes, Malik is a liability, Mara is a question mark, and Rosy is playing like last year was a fluke. But overall, our D is keeping the other team off the scoreboard. That is important and key.

Negatives: Offense. Plain and simple. Jagr down the right wing trying to duck and move is getting a little old. He doesn’t have the speed or the quickness anymore to really make that work. He needs to try something else. The powerplay is anemic. Renney keeps doing the same frickin thing over and over on the PP and expecting different results. It is pathetic. Why Drury is playing the point instead of hanging around the net is beyond me?

In terms of chemistry, everyone is expecting Drury and Gomer to come in and take over the show from Jagr. That is not going to happen. Now whether this means we are doomed because of this is a whole different story for a different debate. But in the meantime, someone has to pull these players together so that they are all going in the same direction for the same goal. They may say they are all working towards the Cup, but from the actions I see, I don’t believe they are on the same page.

Remember back in ‘94 when ‘heave-ho’ was the collective phrase? Right now I am not sure what the collective phrase is other than, “chemistry.” Or, lackthereof.

Calling Dr. Phil….the team needs some mental help.

This obligation Renny feels to have Gomez and Drury 1 & 2 is a problem.

Jagr should be appeased and allowed to play with his country men, which has worked in the past.

At the very least, Prucha & Jagr must be given a shot.

WOW, another injury and this time it’s Callahan. Just wanted everyone to be aware, he is definatley not playing tomorrow. My girlfriend works in MRI and he was just there about an hour ago. Of course he said “we’ll start scoring, don’t worry” but now with Cally out as well. I sure as hell am starting to worry.

Gomez had 60 points, but was injured last year. He had 33g/51a the year before… and even though the Devils got pounced in this playoffs last year, Gomez had 11 points? He’s fine. The problem is Jagr. He is not behaving like a captain. Renney is not lighting a fire under the team.

There were no fights last night. Why didn’t we make runs on Crosby? I’m not saying injure the guy, but play more physical.. Laraque was out yesterday and the only ‘tough guy’ on the roster was Ruutu? COMEON!

A goalie cannot be captain. Reason being there are rules about a goalie being allowed to leave his crease during a stoppage as well as a goalie is not allowed to cross the red line. So if he needed to address the ref he might not be able to depending on where the ref is. A goalie can wear the “A”.
