Possibly. Any great German stand-up comics?

Actually I think the Devils are pretty effective at the same style the Pens played when HCMT was canned and DB took control. They are probably the hardest working team in the league too. I guess you can call it boring but they won damn near every battle for loose pucks all night.
NJ outworked the Pens in the second period and that's why they won. Pittsburgh needs to match their work ethic and they will prevail, because they are the more skilled team. At some point this season NJ is going to go through a long losing streak. They can't keep playing that way all year with games in such a short time frame. It will catch up to them.

The Devil's outplayed the Pens plain and simple. If they can get back to what they had when HCDB started it would be a different thing. If they have to go to the dump and chase, actually go in and get the puck instead of having one Penguin to the 2+ opposing players.

Really. If that's your complaint, don't bother posting.

Boychuck's time is up, package he and TK together and get a new goal song.
The loss of 2 of the top 4 dmen is understandable, but to fix that by not scoring? Interesting strategy.

They haven't cycled all season really. I'm concerned about that aspect of their game. Everything is hit or miss off the rush. No zone time, no cycle, no board play.

Bylsma is also 9-12-1 against the Devils as a Pens coach.

Tells me he isn't ready for primetime so to speak. Letang was in the same boat his first year when we played Detroit in the finals and he was a healthy scratch. If Despres is on this team come playoff time, I expect something similar to happen. Dude is incredibly talented but next year will truly be his year to shine.
Hopefully, Shero can find that top 4 guy they so badly need. Or maybe Niskanen and Letang being injured at the same time did us in. Haha.
