2007-2008 NHL Season Preview - New Jersey Devils
New Jersey Devils
Notable moves and changes:Signed F Dainius Zubrus (was with Washington). Named Brent Sutter head coach.
Starting goalie: Martin Brodeur
Summary of last year: It’s usually more of a surprise when the Devils DON’T take 1st in the Atlantic Division, and last year was no different. As always, the consistent play of Brodeur was a key reason — it’s gotten to the point where fans just expect Brodeur to be nothing less than the best goalie in the league.
Prediction for this year: The Devils suffered some key losses in the off-season — notably Scott Gomez and Brian Rafalski. The core of the team remains strong and the addition of a Sutter in the coaching role is almost always a good thing. This will likely still be a year of adjustment for the Devils, though hopefully they’ll have at least a year to adjust. ‹insert joke about GM Lou Lamoriello’s tendency to fire coaches right before the playoffs here›.

Sounds like it was a great game- I wonder if they have a recap somewhere?

Chicago may constantly be thought of Jordan, however not this point in time!! I realize my blackhawks are intending to take the cup home this yr, for getta bout it philly! I should confess i am a Pen’s supporter therefore my hatred intended for philly runs deep. You have to root for your rival to lose in the cup finals. Even though i dislike hossa for running after the cash and losing last year with the red wings in the finals provided us a good chuckle.
