New Jersey Devils at Nashville Predators, Nov 19, 2009 8:00 PM EST
TV: MSG Plus (HD)
Radio: WFAN 660 AM
Previews: Scroll for Fischer, and our pal Dirk always mans On the Forecheck.
Song to Get You Pumped Up But Also Make You Think Deeply About Tonight's Game: "High Lonesome" by The Gaslight Anthem. Didn't we all kinda sorta wished we looked like Elvis?
Join me and Fischer in the comments. As always: Keep the comments clean, you keep them on-topic (tangents OK, talking about the Devils/Predators is OK, but I don't want to turn this into an "I can't believe he used another Gaslight Anthem song again" thread), and support the New Jersey Devils. It's a pretty good song, baby you know the rest.

McAmmond and Eckford are in. Halischuk out, Leblond on IR.

Leblond was hurt? That would explain why he hasn’t seen any action recent.
Well, per Chere, it’s retroactive for an upper body injury.

Good defense doesnt always have to be offensively talented to get the job done. (If you have productive offensive lines)

You mean Alfredsson’s number… because he’s an ex-Senator. He’s probably honouring his old captain.

Nashville Scores
And a flukey one that Marty didn’t expect. Arnie makes it 1-0.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 19, 2009 8:14 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Oh, that's a terrible occurence
Arnott on a loose puck and he slips it in through the five hole. White had no chance as he didn’t even see Arnott – Marty was caught surprised.
This isn’t new to the Devils, but what is new is that this is the first game after a loss in a long time. How the Devils respond is crucial.

Parise was found WIDE OPEN on the long pass, wound up, but Rinne takes it right off the mask! Great pass by Elias!

Greene made a play to prevent a goal near the end.
Overall, I like how the Devils look so far, fluke goal notwithstanding. Getting the equalizer was huge. Hopefully the Devils cut down on some of their mistakes with the puck (giveaways) and keep up the effort.

Second period starts
Chico says the Colin White shot was deflected by a Pred, so it’ll be White’s goal. And he also corrects himself on the Arnott goal – Arnott did beat White (my bad too, since I commented like Chico did)

Clarkson was about to fight Tootoo, but he begged off. Clarkson drops his stick/glove. So that’s a penalty.
Zubrus is still not at the bench, I assume he went to the back for medical attention.

Penalty is killed but Nashville was still on the attack. Best chance was Joel Ward in the slot on a point blank chance, but Brodeur said no.
Handpass ends it all.

Nashville just had two great chances that Marty saw all the way through. Devils would be wise to respond.
P.S. Peters didn’t take a penalty, but was close. Tootoo ain’t fighting and the Devils forwards should just accept it. Let him take stupid calls instead.

Nashville’s Bouillon was wide open, looked for the open man, and Mottau denied the pass.
The Preds are starting to spark, Devils’ D needs to be careful.
Of course, as I type this, Andy Greene gets forward and makes a nifty backhand move. Rinne did well to stop it.

FANTASTIC save on Tootoo! Brodeur goes for the stick check, misses, but he slides over enough to stop Tootoo in the slot! Clearly, I’m a fan of the save.
Devils take a hooking call near the end of the period. I’m not a fan of that. Tyler Eckford gets his first minor in the NHL.

The Devils have been more efficient with their scoring chances, but Nashville has had the quality. Only 18 on net, but they were blocked by Devils’ defenders 11 times so far and, get this, missed the net 16 times. Already
This is from the NHL.com event summary (a.k.a. Super Stats) of the current game. Oh, the Predator faithful must be hoping for some accuracy…

About 6 seconds left before both teams earn a point. Per my last comment, the answer is no – they did not. The game has been even in that way. Just as one team starts to get going on the attack, make good passes, and get good shots; the other begins to respond.

So in the last two and a half minutes in this OT, Patrik Elias levels a Pred to stop a shot from taking place, Joel Ward nearly gets fortunate after an excellent forechecking effort, and Pekka Rinne nearly gifted a clearance back to NJ.
This has been a chaotic OT but we could see SO anyway.
