John MacLean's message was loud and clear today with him use of profanity pretty much after every bad and dumb pass a Devil make today. The players ran out of breathe today and no one was hit hard by today's events more than David Clarkson, who feels he's been playing well, but was demoted to the fourth line. As usual we can only hope the message translates onto the ice Thursday night in Montreal. Nobody should be more motivated than Marty Brodeur, who usually plays very well in his hometown. It seems that unless Anton Volchenkov's status changes that Olivier Magnan-Grenier will make his NHL debut that night. He is from nearby Sherbrooke, Quebec, so its going to make his debut in Montreal.
Here were the lines today in practice:
Zach Parise-Travis Zajac-Dainius Zubrus
Rod Pelley-Jason Arnott-Jamie Langenbrunner
Patrik Elias-Jacob Josefson-Ilya Kovalchuk
Adam Mair-Tim Sestito-David Clarkson
Colin White-Matt Taormina
Olivier Magnan-Grenier--Andy Greene
Henrik Tallinder-Matt Corrente
