Devils Continue To Fade

from Tom Gulitti of Fire & Ice,
Their playoff hopes are fading with every defeat and their losing streak is at eight games now after tonight’s ugly 5-4 loss to the Boston Bruins at Prudential Center.
With the Rangers defeating Toronto in a shootout tonight, the Devils fell four points out of a playoff spot with only eight regular season games remaining.
They’re 0-4-4 since Ilya Kovalchuk went down with a right shoulder injury in a 2-1 victory over Florida on March 23. With Kovalchuk saying today that he didn’t think he’d be back for Friday’s game against Ottawa, captain Bryce Salvador likely out with a fractured right wrist and defenseman Anton Volcehnkov facing a probable suspension, the Devils’ season is hanging by a thread.
“You know the spot you’re in and you have two choices – you roll over and die or you get up tomorrow and you find a way to turn one win into six or seven or whatever it’s going to take,” Devils coach Pete DeBoer said.

Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello said the initial progrnosis is that right wing Ilya Kovalchuk will miss two to four weeks with a right shoulder injury.
Kovalchuk was injured in the third period of the Devils’ 2-1 win over Florida Saturday night.
He underwent an X-ray following Saturday’s game, which Lamoriello said was “fine”, and he’s scheduled to have an MRI this afternoon. Lamoriello would not say what Kovalchuk’s exact injury is—separation, dislocation, etc—but said he will not require surgery.

Johan Hedberg Talks Goalie Equipment & Says Remove The Trapezoid
by Paul on 03/21/13 at 04:05 PM ET

from Tom Gulitti of Fire & Ice,
Devils backup goaltender Johan Hedberg agrees that the size of some goaltenders’ equipment is excessive, but doesn’t think that reducing the pads again is the right way to go.
“The pads are not the problem,” Hedberg said today. “The problem is the pants and the chest protectors, arms and shoulders.”
Hedberg believes that that reducing the length of the pad above the knee and having more conforming knee pads wouldn’t necessarily create room in the five hole, but it might expose the goaltenders to being hit in the knee more and possible injury.
“The way you play on your knees these are good for preventing injuries,” Hedberg said of the current knee pads.
That said, Hedberg fully believes that reducing size of other parts of the goaltenders’ equipment is something that needs to be done.
