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.

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.

Although it
does not explain how an “enforcer” type player has 0 PIM’s…or if he is a legit player..0 points.
You mean Alfredsson’s number… because he’s an ex-Senator. He’s probably honouring his old captain.

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.

Still odd to hear
Arnott out muscles Rolston and scores on Brodeur…seems just like yesterday he was all ours.
Tyler Eckford just got his first shift.
And David Clarkson just drew the game’s first call.

Solid power play, Rinne was big and the defense prevented big rebound chances.
That’s all for naught as the Devils EQUALIZE.

Who needs...
Mike Green or Nick Lidstrom when you have the offensive juggernaut that is Colin White.
He may be taking the Goal Scoring Machine title away from Jay Pandolfo at this rate.

Terrible giveaway to Arnott by Salvador at the blueline on offense Good thing Dumont didn’t do better on the resulting 2-on-2.

Slick move by Zubrus to keep the offense going but the shot was academic for Rinne.
McAmmond is with Pelley and Peters right now.

Barry Trotz is just such a CHEERFUL looking fellow.
Martin Erat got caught poking Bergfors in the hand (I thought he got him in the gut but w/e)

This power play is looking real…well, poor right now. Devils need to calm down and just keep possession.

Well, they did for a bit; but overall that PP was be a big nothing.
Fun fact: Devils are 6-1-0 in Nashville.

Parise was found WIDE OPEN on the long pass, wound up, but Rinne takes it right off the mask! Great pass by Elias!
Tootoo is now in the box – hitting a Devil away from the play.

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.

Jim McKenzie in
the radio booth with Matt Loughlin during intermission. I wonder how he can possibly fit in any booth? Maybe he will snap and drop the microphone and throw the fists for ole times sake.
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)

A Pred sticks breaks on the breakout pass, the Devils pick it up and fire it at Rinne.
Broken sticks, 3 penalties so far, and a fluke goal – strange things are afoot with the Preds.

Zubrus is limping after blocking a shot. He gets up, blocks another, and goes ot the bemch.

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.

Two Devils without sticks and…the PK gets a clearance. Nashville’s PP is really BAD.

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.

Oh great, Peters has taken Zubrus’ spot.
Langenbrunner takes another long toss from Marty and drives one that Rinne covers.
Zubrus being out definitely hurts.
This is the second long toss that beaten Nashville clearly, but the slapshot was right at Rinne. Hmm.

OK, are you hearing what I'm hearing?
I keep hearing a train like whistle from the Nashville crowd. Is this just me and am I finally starting to lose it, or are the fans THAT into Jordin Tootoo?

I’m going to hear that dang whistle all night in my head. If I supported Nashville, then sure; but since I don’t.
The Devils have shaped up quite a bit and are able to attack more often.

Hmm check that previous

Eh, it’s an equalizer. I’m happy with the goal regardless of credit.

Clarkson nearly got a goal just like Arnott by beating Arnott on a loose puck! Rinne was alert enough to take a stand (well, on his pads).

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.

Bad News
Dainius Zubrus will not return tonight per Steve Cangelosi in the intermission on MSG+
The blocked shot that saw him down got him square in the leg. Hopefully it’s a minor injury because I’m not sure what the centers will look like without him in the lineup.

Arnott with a brace
When the Nashville PP is getting goals, it’s not good.
Good deflection, it fooled Brodeur. Time to dig deep, Devils. Fortunately, there’s 18 minutes to work with to get an equalizer

AND IT IS AN EQUALIZER
A bank off a McAmmond. I believe Parise got to it to push it in. I believe that will be McAmmond’s first point as a Devil and Parise will def. have a goal.

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.
