2 for 10 on the season...looking sharp this far... Devils are down 1-0 on a Rostislav Olesz goal assisted by Jozef Stumpel and Radek Dvorak with five minutes remaining in the first period.

The first period ended. Shots favored the Panthers, 12-10. Both teams went 0-1 on the man advantage.

Midway through the second period, Panthers lead the Devils 1-0 still. The announcer mentioned that the Devils will have a problem scoring goals this season. I agree. They are learning to play with each other after spending many years on the same lines. Then again, they never scored much last season so nothing new there.

7:00 remaining and the Devil cannot score for shit. What else is new. Elias has had chances but cannot find the net.

13:00 Devils get called for two penalties, one for abusive language by bench. The Devils are not themselves right now.
13:05 Florida scores second goal, takes commanding 2-0 lead
14:55 Devils commit another minor penalty but hold off the Panthers man advantage
2:30 Devils look lost... maybe Kevin Weekes should have started tonight... I am not saying that Brodeur is week, just that the Devils played better in Weekes' only start
1:43 Devils commit yet another penalty, definitely not reminiscent of last season's efforts... the Devils committed one of the fewest penalty minutes last season
0:32 Panthers score again, Nathan Horton 2 (power play) (Cory Murphy)... wonderful... I mean Brodeur does not look 100% and the Devils are being shutout by the worst team in the National Hockey League... at least in the Eastern Conference

Second Intermission- Devils are down 3-0... They can come back if they eliminate the penalties... the Panthers are 1-6 on the power play while the Devils are 0-1 in their only opportunity

The Devils have allowed 28 shots on goal in two periods of action, while reaching 18 themselves... Six penalties will do that to you... Cmon Devils shape up, the season started exactly one week to this date...

Buffalo leads Atlanta 5-0, no surprise there...
Toronto has a commanding 5-1 advantage over the Islanders... Backup goaltender is starting for Islanders

Start of the third period
19:19 Devils look sharp on first rush... Florida is forced to ice the puck
19:12 Florida commits delay of game penalty... Devils need to take advantage of this chance...
17:12 another chance down the drain as the Devils don't score on the PP
15:58 Devils defenseman Karel Rachunek commits the Devils seventh penalty... we need to kill this off to have any chance of winning tonight
15:22 Devils have two on one shorthanded break.. draw penalty, Olli Jokinen for holding... 4 on 4 bitches
Under 15:00 Devils cannot bury a goal on the 4 men apiece
13:47 Devils have power play for 30 seconds or so... cannot score on that either
Under 13:00 referees are definitely looking for an icing or stoppage of play... tv timeout
10:57 Devils go on another power play after a strong offensive rush
10:00 Still 3-0 Panthers lead... The Devils need to score at least once tonight... cmon you're playing the lowly Panthers... at least Elias is more determined right now to find the back of the net... mental focus is there, need that goal
8:53 Devils cannot score again on the man advantage... Panthers kill off another penalty, Clarkson dukes it out with Allen... Definite victory to Clarkson who knocked Allen to the ice before refs broke it up... TV Timeout
8:28 We are back for some more Devils hockey... not many rebounds tonight... Elias has another good chance, is denied by Vokoun
6:24 Devils are pressuring but with no luck tonight
3:30 they keep on attacking, Panthers kill off another penalty kill... Devils are 0-5 on PP tonight
2:30 Sergei Brylin was not looking up as David Booth made him pay for it... Scott Stevens style
1:00 Last minute of regulation for the Devils who are in desperation mode...
0.00 Tomas Vokoun shuts out the Devils 3-0... just pathetic... more coverage on game coming up

The Islanders defeat the Rangers one night but then are down 8-1 against the Maple Leafs another evening. Jeez...
