GDT: Islanders at Devils, 4pm Eastern

Had seats directly behind the Devils' penalty box today...interesting to see player reactions as they head to the box.  Palms and Bratt (on his second penalty) were definitely not happy with the calls against them (Bratt let a few notable f-bombs go).  Palms chatted with one of the officials during a commercial and he was clearly letting him know how he felt about the call made against him.

The 5-on-3 was frustrating as hell because you had a feeling that it would come back to haunt them.  Just sucks to have THAT much time up two men and to come up empty.  Because of that and the way the game was going, getting the point felt like "Well, could've been worse." 

Obviously not one of Palms' finer nights by any stretch, but funny how suddenly he's this turnover-prone zilch who can't skate...doesn't take much for people to turn on players here.

Scary how often Wood just seems to lose his feet...guy can be so clumsy at times. 

3-1-2 on this kinda-sorta homestand...I was hoping for at least 8 out of 12 points, and they did that.  Wasn't always pretty and they really look flat-out rotten in OT so far...whatever they're trying so far in OTs doesn't seem to be working at all.  These 3-on-3s are starting to feel like shootouts did a while back. 

On a side note, thank you Vats for giving my daughter a puck during warmups.  You made her season...she's still beaming.  Amazing what a circular piece of rubber can do for a kid.
