Todd Cordell: G32 New Jersey Devils vs Dallas Stars: Five things to watch

Hopefully we get Palms or Hall back tonight would be great if both could play and Idk if you were watching the same game as me Todd but the devils played an excellent game last night being down 3 top 6 forwards.

they did and could have easily score a few in the 2nd period and run away with an easy 2pts

Price and a few posts stole that game in the second period last night, at least we got a point out of it though.
Zacha seems to play better when he's aggressive and not sitting back waiting for things to develop. Solid effort last night let's hope we get the W tonight!

I never said they played poorly – just that it wasn't pretty haha

no kidding. that's the issue with him.. the lack of assertiveness.

Stafford - come out, come out where ever you are. LOL!

Stafford has a hot start and.....he's gone.

Really, really hoping Lappin strings together a few good games and forces one of Stafford/Hayes to the bench when we get healthy.

Chico said on NHL Network Radio that Schneider is in tonight again

Which is why I wanted Q to get the call up. Rather him than Stafford.

back-to-backs are nice because I get to see two losses in a row.

I hope they were joking on the pregame. Moore-Vatanen got pounded last night, and they are listed as together again as the top pair?

Yeah, I mean Moore v. Benn-Seguin-Radulov for a ton of minutes. What could go wrong?

lol closing hand on the puck penalty. these refs are so (frank)ing blind.

They seem to be calling it any time you cover it on the ice, even if it’s for a split second.

nobody around him, didn't actually close hand on the puck. it's the perfect soft penalty.

they should just have it where they give penalties back and forth for the entire game. why even have 5-on-5.

Definitely seemed like that direction at the beginning of the year, when every slap on the glove was called. I’m glad they loosened up on that. The Toronto game early in the year was non-stop special teams.

It's odd because I feel like they call a bunch of soft penalties but miss a lot of big ones.

Poor Zacha, that’s not gonna count.

It was the best play Stafford has made in 20 games too.

You’re definitely not wrong, and it’s usually the dangerous ones they miss. Obvious boarding calls, sticks to the face that draw blood, etc.

Yep.

Hopefully he comes out hungry now after that close goal
