Oho! What Is This Demonry?
In the words of the legendary Conan O'Brien, what is this demonry where the Devils raise their arms and hug each other, seemingly happy? Like my good friend Mike Dickson said "I believe it's called a goal, though I believe it's a soft G sound".
Yes the Devils finally scored a goal, for the first time since Matt D'Agostini scored last Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. But even more special for the Devils, the goal, unlike the one against the Bruins, resulted in a victory.
For the first time since March 23rd, when Ilya Kovalchuk crashed head first into the boards, the Devils were awarded in the win column.
Now this blog had a chance to see the Devils up close and personal and on TV over those ten games and they most certainly did not deserve to go winless over that stretch.
The Devils did what they have done best under Pete DeBoer and that's win all the board battles and contests for loose pucks, but each time they came away with a loss, each more frustrating than the last.
Over the last two games prior to Thursday night in Philadelphia, the Devils couldn't even score a goal, though not for lack of trying. After out shooting Ottawa and Toronto 33-11 and 32-12 respectively, New Jersey could only wonder where it went wrong.
Even three wins in that ten game span and the Devils are in a playoff spot right now with the New York Rangers. And though technically not eliminated, the 12th place Devils will have a tough time getting in.
The run to six straight started last night, but that is scant hopes for a team that struggled to win once in 10, though, I suspect these things balance out, so like Kevin Garnett, anything is possible but if they are to make the playoffs again, they will need a lot of help, starting today in Buffalo, where the Rangers are in town to take on the Sabres.
In a regular season, the Devils are just past the halfway point of the year, but unfortunately for them, there is no second half to lean on to make up for their poor 10 game stretch.
Perhaps Kovalchuk comes back on Saturday night, and perhaps they pull off a miracle of all miracles. But, either way, just sit back and enjoy the ride, because you could only have five rides left this season.
Juste un bonheur mélancolique.
