Penguins vs. Devils: Who is Worse?


It's unbelievable how it has come to this.

The Penguins and Devils are both having trouble right now. The Penguins are 0-2-0 while the Devils are 0-1-1. At least the Devils has one point and are ahead of the Penguins right now, but for how long?

Both of these teams face off tomorrow at the Prudential Center in Newark, and it looks like this will be the game that will determine who is having the worse start of all.

The Penguins are coming off back-to-back losses in their new home against the Flyers and the Canadiens. Hey, it would be nice if they had at least won the game against the Canadiens, but that's history at this point.

The Devils are coming off a shootout loss and a really bad loss against the Stars and the Capitals. Alex Ovechkin burned Martin Brodeur twice while the rest of the Caps team put together goals that compiled a 7-2 win against the Devils.

Looks like Monday's matchup might be a do-or-die situation for both of these teams. The Penguins have had lucky rebounds their way, while the Devils' Martin Brodeur has bailed out his team in incredible form.

Who I pick to win this game: It's tough to go against Martin Brodeur and the Devils, but I'm gonna stay safe and pick the Penguins to win this one. They may have started out 0-2, but they have a better chance of rebounding than the Devils would. Evgeni Malkin, Sidney Crosby, Tyler Kennedy, Zbynek Michalek, and many other Penguins have a better chance of scoring against Martin Brodeur than the Devils would against Marc-Andre Fleury.

Tomorrow's game looks like a nail-bitter. Who will be sitting on the bottom of the rank while the other team saves itself? Only the game tomorrow will tell.
