I appreciate Shanny’s comments regarding the hits, but I cannot agree with the ability of an observer to determine intent from a video. It shouldn’t be any more complicated than “The primary point of impact was his head.”

It’s certainly an imperfect system but I feel Shanahan has refined it and made it more serious compared with last year.

It looks like Peltz is a NY guy. I would prefer a Jersey guy, but it is what it is. Vanderbeek is committed to this state. It would be nice if the real Steve Forbes (who is a Jersey guy) or Woody Johnson would be interested.

I have respect for most sports fans with 2 exceptions: NY Ranger fans who grew up in New Jersey, and Dallas Cowboy fans who can't name the capital of Texas.

I don’t think Woody is allowed to buy into the Devils due to the NFL bylaws. It would pose a conflict of interest between the two professional sports.

I’m waiting for word on lines from morning skate…who’s getting their “one step back for two steps forward” benchings tonight.

Maybe Sestito came up because Boulton took his roster spot :P

Mills and Pelley are extras, Sestito centering Cam and Teddy.

Which one of these is not like the others?

Mabye he’s going to play War with Janssen in the press box. That’d be awesome.
