Whenever the New Jersey Devils would win a game despite a not-so-excellent performance, Doc Emrick would proclaim that they had them all the way. That phrase would apply tonight in their 2-1 overtime victory over the Minnesota Wild. Only thanks to the overtime hero of the night, the phrase would have to be that the Devils had them Hall the way.
There was a lot of excitement when the Devils acquired Taylor Hall back in June. That excitement only swelled with two power play goals - New Jersey’s only goals that night - in the team’s first win against Anaheim.
