[Author's note: trying to write this from my phone so excuse spelling/punctuation.]
On Wednesday night, the Devils showed something to the hometown fans that has become few and far between: a victory. The faintest pulse that gave the impression to at least this writer, that all might not be lost with this season.
From the opening face-off until the final horn, the Devils did to the Coyotes what so many teams have done to the all season long, take advantage of a team who came out a little flat, capitalized on their scoring chances, and while allowing a large number of shots, they were low percentage zones. They also had some luck on their side, as a Coyote shot went hard off the post after beating goaltender Martin Brodeur.
Patrik Elias continued his recent point streak, Ilya Kovalchuk tallied his first multi-goal game as a Devil, and even Mark Fayne registered his first career goal.
Tonight, the Devils seek their 2nd win in a row, which would be only their second time doing so all season long. This time, they'll have some moral support from the fans. For the first time, there will be an organized supporter's section bellowing chants, cheers and songs from the confines of section 209.
Whether you already have tickets, or are on the fence, try to make your way up to the section for a chant or two. Organizers will be in the section minutes after gates open so feel free to stop by, chat and share your passion for the team.
Faceoff is at 7:00, tickets are still available for the section, see the posts below for information on how to acquire your seats in this, the innaugrial game for the Supporters of 209.
Let's Go Devils!
