NBCSN had puck drop pushed to 9:45. The Leafs end was entertaining. The Canadian anthem was beautiful - and the Devils were ready to play.
First Period: A solid nothing happened in the first couple minutes, aside from a redirection chance by Draisaitl to McDavid that Cory Schneider had the angle on from the start. The second shot I noticed was at 2:49 into the game by Kyle Brodziak from far out, which was followed by a scrum. They must have seen CJ’s grittiness poll.
Kurtis Gabriel and Milan Lucic dropped the gloves a half a minute later.
