Comets giving up clear shots off the rush. Guys just going right off the wings and firing from good spots.

Another giveaway in the slot by Russo this time.

1st comes to an end with SOG 15-8 Belleville.

Belleville is in 6th place in the Division 19 points behind the Comets, but have played 2 less games. They have taken the play to the Comets since the opening drop of the puck.

Have to go back 4 games to find a Comets even strength goal. 10 goals scored in that time counting tonight: 5 PPGs, 2 SHG, 1 6 on 5 with the keeper pulled, and 2 ENGs. 1W-2L and tonight's outcome yet to come.

For the NJ fans thinking the team in NJ is going to remain pretty much staus quo may wish to hear what Marty just had to say. He said moving forward with the highly talented youth they have and that is still coming, combined with newcomers like Dougie Hamilton, the NJ Devils are going to become a much different team, but they are excited about the future.

2nd period gets underway.

Looking for this team to start getting pucks to the net and putting on some even strength pressure and posting some ES goals.

Big stop by Schmid.

Comets come right back and instead of shooting when in a good position, Schmelzer centered it through the slot to no one.

Comets continue to play onthe perimeter and when the forced pass is made it goes the other way.

McGrath gets 2 for high sticking. His rep is strting to cost him with the zebras.

Foote in alone and is hooked twice and no call. Dineen all over the refs.

The Sens get back into the zone and as is the case in hockey, when shit goes down on one end, the other team comes back and scores. PPGA

2-1 Sens. 2 unanswered goals

shots are 3-0 so far and the Sens have scored.

Holtz get tripped in his zone and the ref in zone called nothing but the guy at center ice did.

Comets to the PP.

Standing still PP and the forced cross ice pass is tipped out of the zone.

Back in

Bahl a 1-timer and guess what? Missed the net.

Holtz centers and Flynn missed. Thompson to Holtz and his 1-timer from the slot is engulfed.

PP is over. 1 SOG. SOG this period 5-1 for a 20-9 lead.

This team will not go far in the playoffs against the better teams with the kind of play that they have demonstrated over the past 25 games or so.

2 guys called up and 2 injured and they can't muster crap.

Dineen mixing up the lines trying to find 3 guys that can get something going.

Comets in the Sens end for almost a minute and can't manage a single shot.

Belleville comes back down the ice and gets a good shot away immediately.

They have chances to get up ice with men but keep making bad passes every single shift.

Faceoff back to Vukojevic. He wrists one to the net front and Foote deflects it in from off to the side.

Goal Foote from Vuk.

2-2

Comets defensive zone play the past few weeks is a total 5-man sag leaving the points and high slot wide open. They often move it back and forth and someone ends open down low. Point shots, high slot shots, and tip attempts. All at a keeper who has difficulty seeing through not only the opponents, but also his own guys.
