-So not much happened in the first between the Canes and Devils. Just a very ho-hum seesaw period between the teams as they played very solid defensively. There were few chances until the end where Cam Ward made a couple of good stops. I know the league says they’re watching the diving and there have been a few calls made but did anyone else think Erik Rasmussen went down just a little too easy on what was a solid defensive play by Carolina’s Niclas Wallin to draw a penalty? You decide.

-Oilers visiting the Habs tonight. Ah. Anytime you get a Canadian battle, it usually makes for compelling hockey. And already Edmonton’s had some solid chances. Lots of skating and playmaking at The Bell Centre thus far.
