This game quickly got out of hand and was really a snoozer for most of the game because mid-way through the outcome was no longer in question. This was more about the Devils sucking than the Canadiens playing well though. Unbelievable how bad this team is. It looks really bad that they signed Kovalchuk in exchange for having multiple roster spots given to guys that would otherwise be career AHLers.
I just wanted to point out that I told you so about Darche. He had a power-play assist standing in front of the net. The puck hit him and then Gomez tapped in the loose puck. Another good night of work for the poor man's Holmstrom. I'd consider him a fine short-term pickup in deep leagues.
Yannick Weber looked solid in his first game of the season playing full-time D. He's still the odd man out but this bodes well for him long-term. At least he's showing he can play at the NHL level. Look for him to make the team out of training camp next fall.
