Let's get right to it.1) This team is flat-out awful. Give them an open net, they'll find a way not to score a goal.
2) Marty Brodeur is far from finished. He played a great game, the kind of game he used to win. But because his mates can't score, having just given up a single goal, he gets another loss.
3) Saturday night. Very little else going on. Division rivals in the house. And attendance was just 13,705. Then again, who would really pay to see this team right now?
4) One night after the Flyers were embarrassed at home -- and the Devils coming of like a month of rest -- this team still couldn't get it done. They faced a fragile team, with a fragile goalie -- and put nothing past him. Ray Emery made it look rather simple tonight.
5) Travis Zajac was out of the lineup tonight. Has there been a worse contract given to a player in Devils history than the one he got a few years ago? Since he signed it, he's been invisible.
5B) Peter DeBoer has to be on the watch-list again. This was an inexcusable loss -- perhaps worse than any other of the year, given the circumstances surrounding the Flyers over the last 24 hours.
