NHL Hockey Bet - The fans expect a lot, and they got frustrated watching the Devils drop a 2-1 decision on Wednesday night. For many, it was the start to another early postseason exit by the Atlantic Division champion Devils, who haven’t gotten out of the first round in the last two seasons.
As far as the Devils are concerned, they played better than the Flyers in Game 1, limiting them to 14 shots. They just didn’t win the opener in the best-of-7 series that will resume on Friday night at the Prudential Center.
“It’s important to have that feeling and to say: ‘Well that game is over,”’ Brodeur said Thursday after practice. “Yes, we’re down 1-0 and there’s not much we can do about it. Actually, there is nothing we can do about it. The only thing you can control is the next time you’re on the ice and you have to get yourself ready.”
The one thing the Devils need to improve is their power play. It was 0-for-5 against the Flyers and goaltender Brian Boucher(notes) and didn’t generate a lot of chances.
So the Devils focused on moving the puck in the offensive zone in practice on Thursday.
They did not do a job of that on Wednesday when they always seemed to be under constant pressure from the Flyers.
When they did get shots, they were either blocked or missed the net. When the shots got through to Boucher, the goalie either made the save or his defensemen were there to clear the puck.
