The Devils broadcasters have already tried twice to compare this return from injury for Elias to 05-06 when he recovered from Hep. Not cool, Steve Cangialosi.

Devils starters: Danis; Fraser-Greene; Rolston-Zubrus-Clarkson. Isles starters: Biron, Streit-Gervais; Jackman-Thompson-Park.

The fans notice Patty on the ice and cheer.

Elias makes a sick move past an Isle defender and rips one just wide. All shorthanded…
by Steve Lepore on Nov 6, 2009 7:14 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Am I the only person who thinks White got called for annihilating Franz Nielsen along the boards because of what Mike Mottau did to him last year? And a Patty sighting, woo!

Bad turnover by Bergfors to Sean Bergenheim, who feed Nielsen, beats Danis on the backhand.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 6, 2009 7:18 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Bergenheim a snapper that Danis stops.

Zubrus a backhander, easy save Biron.

Bergfors fires a shot down the wing (like the goal Wednesday) that Biron gets a piece of.

Backhander from Pelley that Biron denies and covers.

The 2nd unit gets a little bit going.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 6, 2009 7:33 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Isles not giving the Devils much room to breathe in the offensive zone.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 6, 2009 7:39 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I feel the period was even despite the score. The Devils just had too many shots miss the net or have it blocked by the Isles defense. I expected less from the Isles defense, honestly but they showed up well.
On the goal against, well, that was just a whole bunch of breaks culminating in a goal against, really. The Devils can come back from this, but they need to start putting their shots on net instead of at the glass or at the shins/sticks of an Islander.
Devils in my heart! Devils in my mind! Devils in my eyes! Devils until I die!

Devils 1st unit looking better, used a set play with Patty.

End Period 2
A better period, decidedly.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 6, 2009 8:31 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Second Period
The Islanders’ lesson this period is to stop giving up the point to the Devils as it has burnt them twice. Great shots by Murphy and Rolston. I’m glad the PP got one because the other three they got was, well, not good power plays. The Devils would do well to get a third one and with the way they are playing, they’ll likely get it.
The one thing that does worry me is the Islanders’ tenaciousness – they love to forecheck, they love to engage, and if the Devils aren’t careful on the point or in their own zone, it could burn them. The last thing the Devils want to do here is to start giving up chances and, of course, goals against.
Devils in my heart! Devils in my mind! Devils in my eyes! Devils until I die!

Penalty Killed
Moulson beats out an icing and gets a great shot away that Danis had to be quick on.

I should always ignore the Devils during the last half of the first period, all of the second period and the first five minutes of the first if I turn the game back on to find them in the lead.

Guh. Meant first five minutes of the third. I’m an idiot.

Martinek got hit by Parise, looks like a knee or an ankle.

I can’t even begin to describe the kind of respect and admiration I have for Colin White for not only overcoming one of the most devastating injuries a person, let alone a hockey player, could ever face, but for making the decision to continue to play a sport as a aggressive as hockey in spite of the irreversible damage said injury caused. I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that he’s legally blind in his right eye, but he really made a commitment to continuing his career even though that meant having to basically relearn how to play the game without full vision and changing certain aspects of the way he played the game to suit his condition. He’s come so far from where he was at when he first returned from his injury during the ‘06-’07 season to where he’s at now. He’s as good a defensive defenseman as he was before his injury, but his temper has become much more even-keeled (most likely from not being able to fight anymore).

Pretty uninspring 3rd period in general. Isles been better.
by Steve Lepore on Nov 6, 2009 9:14 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Tavares had a great chance in front that Danis stops. Clarkson comes the other way and doesn’t miss by much.

Danis
I feel pretty good about him in the net.
by Imperator_Celtic on Nov 6, 2009 9:16 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Elias a blast that Danis stops. It’s so good to have him out there again.

Chaos at the front of the net, the Isles came close as anything to getting it in when the refs blew the whistle. Just misses crossing the line and Travis Zajac clears it by a hare. 30 to go.

That's it!
Devils win 2-1. They’ve won 10 of 12, and 3 of their last 4 at home. Unbelievable.

14,109 at The Rock. Gotta do better for the Isles, but whatever.
I’ll see you for the GameThread with Ottawa tomorrow. Fischer coming up soon.
