Clean hit just unfortunate. Hope he's ok.

And the next play he puts goons to take runs. Piss off

Good to see Zajac back

Wow I don't think Palmieri meant to score that

I got no problem with the hit.

I have more of a problem with the lack of care the players were taking with there skates around Lars's head afterwards.

Agreed, disappointing to see that. Players down worry about that now. Scores can be settled later.

Well a lot of love during the national anthems but after that not so much.

I can't remember many Devils, if any, that can close gaps like he can. He gets to pucks that you don't think he should be able to. Hopefully his speed translate well. Would be nice to have an offensive weapon like that.

Its impressive. He's created quite a few almost-breakaways the past three games. Hopefully, his hands catch up a little bit and he can net a couple this year.

T'was a wonderful game.

So is a Taylor Hall hat trick a goal, an assist and a homicide?

Larsen was doomed there.
- smellmyfinger

Like Willy D said, most players wouldn't have taken that route and been able to anticipate that pass (like Hall did) which is why Larsen didn't expect Hall to go through him off the wall like that. Zero issue with the hit, and no Canucks fan should have any issue with it. I think nobody wants to ever see a player lay motionless like that, but Hall IMO did everything within the rules with that hit.

you guys seem to have got a good one with him

For guys who could actually play good hockey, not too many. Neidermeyer was really fast even though the game wasn't played as quick back then. Petr Sykora could motor pretty well but I'm not sure he'd be as fast.
