Tonight's Devils game was brought to you by great tasting Sominex. Sure they outshot the Caps a billion to ten but how many of those were shots that Michal Neuvirth (yes, Michal Neuvirth, not Roberto Luongo, not Jimmy Howard, not Tim Thomas but Michal Neuvirth) actually had to work hard to stop? MAYBE 4 all night. In fact the hardest shot he had to stop he didn't as Ilya Kovalchuk swept in off the left wing with 3 minutes to go in the second period and pushed his shot into the post.
Shot numbers are deceiving in that way. Shots from around the perimeter add up but aren't all that dangerous. The Devils have 11 games left to make up 6 points on Buffalo who also have a game in hand on New Jersey. It's gonna be tough but it's still possible.
We'll get to the Saint Peter's ballgame in the morning, god love 'em.
Time for Jersey City, After Dark
