The NJ Devils are mired in a 5 game losing streak, “But now it’s time. I mean, the foot is down. Enough is enough.” said Brent Sutter. That foot is down and is shaking in it’s boot. In 2007 the Devil’s GM Lou Lamoriello fired coach Claude Julien on April 2nd (two years ago tomorrow) and took over with a week left in the regular season, that should have Sutter looking over his shoulder. Julien had the Devils at 107 pts when he got canned, the Devils only have 98 now.
Fleury only needs 12 regular season wins by November 28th of this year to be ahead of the pace that Brodeur has set being the goaltender with the most wins in the NHL.
You know you are good when they other team chants “Crosby Sucks” You know your the best when someone writes a song: “Utoob: Crosby Sucks” Made by some hack of a band from Washington, probably more fair weather Capital fans. It has 997 hits on Utoob, I couldn’t understand what they were saying, but I think the fact the fans of another team wrote a song about him is a testament to how good of a player he is. If they wrote a song “Crosby is a Swell Guy” then I’d be worried.
