The second period was an utter failure for the Devils.

The Sens have been making Marty look human rather than one of the best goalies of all time.  He should have no excuse on the Sens third goal scored by Alfredsson.

New Jersey better play for their lives in the third period, because with the way they’re playing, they won’t see Monday in Ottawa

Devs are leading 1-0 after one period of play.

They are definitely controlling the game both offensively, outshooting the Sens 11-3; and defensively, as expected.  Plus, they are playing a physical game, leading the hits department 9-4 despite having Oduya, Janssen, and Rupp scratched from the line-up.

Emery looks shaky again, and he’s giving up a TON of juicy rebounds.  It was evident on Gomez’s goal as he couldn’t handle an Elias wrist shot from the half-wall.

Back after the second…

There are a TON of Ottawa fans here and they are really making some noise tonight.

Unfortunately, the Continental Airlines Arena is not as filled up as it was for Game 2.  A bit disappointing, we’ll see how it is a ocuple of minutes after puck drops.

Back after the first…

It’s really time for the Devils to pick it up right now. They have more shots in their first period than the last three combined.

Marty’s faced 44 shots so far after four periods and keeping the Devs in the game. MUCH better performance than Game 1.

Double OT time…

Figures when we have a late 8PM start we go to overtime.

Marty was a rock in the third period, making some HUGE glove saves.  The man-advantage at the end with Ottawa pulling the goalie proved to be difference maker.

Ottawa’s got a powerplay to start the OT, because after 19:59 of third period play without a penalty the refs decide to call a hooking minor on Brian Gionta.  Come on refs, lets be a little more consistent here.  If you’re not going to call anything ALL period, why call it at the very end?

This will be fun…
