10:09 PM ET: Puck game over. Devils win. THEeeeeeeeeeeeee Devils win!
FINAL SCORE: Devils 5 Penguins 4. Proud of these boys tonight. A wacky game ends in our favor. Back to .500 we go! This has been Tony with your live-cap. Drive safe.
10:07 PM ET: EMPTY NET CHANCES TURNED AWAY!!! Offsides on the Penguins. JUST END THE MADNESS!!!
10:06 PM ET: LAST minute of playyyy in regulation!!! HOLD IT!
10:05 PM ET: 2 minutes left!!! Let’s hold this down boys!
9:57 PM ET: After the gang scrap, 2 minutes a piece to Crosby and Roberts. A double minor to Asham. These cancel. 5-on-5 play between the two. This puts out Sid the Kid. Let’s take advantage!
9:54 PM ET: KILL CROSBY!
9:50 PM ET: Shot after shot turned aside by both goaltenders… waiting for the spark! AND THERE IT IS! GOAL!!! Scored by #22 Aaron Asham! Assisted by Parise and Elias! Devils 5 Pens 4!
9:39 PM ET: A 4 minute advantage is shrugged off by the Pirates Steelers Penguins. FRUSTRATIONS!!!
9:36 PM ET: Third period underway! Comment your guesses on how crazy this period will be.
9:18 PM ET: An abnormal second period ends in a 4-4 tie. Out-of-control nonsense!! Devils start the third with a 3:40 Powerplay. Better make something happen there!
9:16 PM ET: A whopping 4 minute penalty on the Penguins. Powerplay Devils.
9:14 PM ET: A powerplay goal scored off of a screen by Oduya ties it up. Goal scored by #71 Evgeni Malkin and assisted by Crosby/Gonchar. Devils 4 Pens 4.
9:13 PM ET: CURSED haunted house music! A Paul Martin hold results in a 5 on 3 opportunity for the Penguins. UH-OH!
9:11 PM ET: Penguins powerplay killed off. Great hockey game tonight wouldn’t you say? Full of excitement and favorable bounces!
9:03 PM ET: You know when someone falls and gets hurt? And you laugh but you really aren’t supposed to? This is NOT that type of moment. MWAHAHAHA! POWER PLAY GOAL scored by what looks to be #19 Travis Zajac. His second of the game. Assists by Gionta and Parise and the entire city of Pittsburgh is simply IRATE! These refs have been one-sided and I couldn’t be happier. Devils 4 Pens 3!
9:02 PM ET: YET ANOTHER Penalty called on the Penguins. 6th in a row! A lost faceoff almost leads to disaster, but Marty smothers it and we will continue with the brand new Powerplay. Stop wasting chances. FINISH!
8:58 PM ET: Well let me tell you about my best friend…he’s a warm hearted ref. A bench minor keeps the game the same and gives us yet another powerplay! 5th of the 2nd period! WE. MUST. CAPITALIZE!!!
8:57 PM ET: A ridiculous line change and an obnoxious crowd leads to a 2-on-0 goal by the Pens. Wait. What’s this?! A too many men call may snatch back this goal! IT DOES! GAME STAYS TIED! SNATCHIES!
8:54 PM ET: WOE IS ME! Many chances in front of the net leads to no rubber behind Fleury. Penalty killed. =[
8:52 PM ET: AND ANOTHER! A 4th Powerplay opportunity for these Devils in this period alone. Opportunities must be seized!
8:50 PM ET: Another powerplay for the Devils! Hooking call that saved a goal and gives us another chance at taking the lead.
8:48 PM ET: GOT EM ON THE DO-OVER!!! POWER PLAY GOAL! Scored by #19 Travis Zajac. His second of the season. Assists by Zach Parise and Paul Martin. JUST LIKE THAT the game is tied 3 a piece!
8:45 PM ET: Penalty killed. Only good that came out of that was the great defensive play by Mike Rupp. But what’s this!? Another penalty! On the Penguins! I call DO-OVER! Let’s try it again.
8:43 PM ET: Cue the haunted house music. Penalty on the Pens. #37 Jarkko Ruutu called for hooking. This is the chance to tie it up!
8:37 PM ET: A game that looked as if things were finally going our way spirals out of control and we’re fighting to equalize.
8:35 PM ET: Another powerplay goal shot by #55 Gonchar from the point. Crosby and Malkin get the assists and the score is now Pens 3, Devs 2.
8:33 PM ET: Start of the second period is underway. Right off the back is some pressure put on the Devils net.
8:17 PM ET: Devils played extremely well until about 4 minutes left in the period. Two unanswered goals tie it up 2 a piece going into intermission. Devils start the second shorthanded. WAKE UP! Devils 2 Pens 2 1st INT.
8:14 PM ET: ::Sigh:: All glory has just been snatched back. Another penalty called on the Devils. Madden for hooking.
8:10 PM ET: A power play goal scored by #10 Gary Roberts. Pesky deflection gets past Marty for the tying goal. Give the assist to Gonchar and Sykora. Devils 2 Pens 2.
8:08 PM ET: Penalty on Zubrus… shorthanded pressure put on during the PK by the Devils.
8:06 PM ET: A pass from the point to the slot finds its way into a deflection by Maxime Talbot for a score. How a 60 foot pass like that goes untouched is beyond me. Devils 2 Pens 1.
8:04 PM ET: Banana boy should get a penalty for that attempt at murder on Zach…
7:57 PM ET: WHOA BABY!!! A ROCKET from the Mad Dog! #11 John Madden goal. His 4th of the season comes off the great puck movement of Clarkson and Pandolfo. This line is on fire tonight! Devils 2 Pens 0.
7:56 PM ET: MY GOSH!!! Johnny Oduya just did WHAT?! He made an amazing heroic save to prevent the tying goal from occuring! That a boy Johnny! Put ‘em in the bodybag.
7:54 PM ET: Zubrus just got robbed! The filthy wrist shot couldn’t find the pipes.
7:50 PM ET: GOAL!!!!! Scored by #20 Jay Pandolfo. His second of the season. Assisted by Asham off of a failed wrap around attempt and the Devils are up 1-0!!!
7:47 PM ET: Horrifying opportunity by the Pens…whistled down by a high stick!
7:44 PM ET: ANOTHER scary puck on net held by Brodeur…
7:43 PM ET: Strong puck handle to the net by the Pens…SHUT DOWN by Marty.
7:42 PM ET: Minor scrap going on with Clarkson… nothing doing. And what’s this!? Oduya starting on defense?!
7:41 PM ET: Puck drops! We’re underway!
7:23 PM ET: Puck close to dropping time! Stay tuned….

October 17th, 2007 at 6:51 pm
Jay Pandolfo now has more goals than Scott Gomez!!
October 17th, 2007 at 6:53 pm
Pando remains The Man.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:56 pm
WOW… ODUYA WITH A SAVE!
Good we showed up tonight. Passing is looking solid. Shutting the Pens down low. Marty looking like his usual self now.
Should be a good game.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:58 pm
Clarkson is having a great game so far. He almost had a fight right off of the bat, is throwing his body around, had a nice wraparound that helped Pandolfo get a goal, then a sweet pass to Madden for the second goal.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:59 pm
mad dog is a scoring beast..a beast i tell you!!!
October 17th, 2007 at 7:01 pm
Maddolfo Rules, liking Zackattack at center, wow Johnny-John O did something on D how cool is that. The Boys look good tonight.
October 17th, 2007 at 7:09 pm
I wouldn’t call Crosby’s awesome move to keep control of the puck ‘nonsense’. I think it is a privelage to watch a great talent like him. I always hope he messes up against the Devils but he is one of my favorite players to watch because of his skill.
October 17th, 2007 at 7:13 pm
That goal on the penalty kill hurts. They were looking really good until then. No worries, I am sure the Devils will get it back. Perhaps we are in for another high scoring game like the last one.
October 17th, 2007 at 7:33 pm
I think that Racoon had a hand in both Pens goals, the first one he was just standing there not covering His man that put it in the net, the 2nd He was in a bad position screened Marty and the puck went off of His leg and in the net, Marty had no chance.I think that Marty is having trouble because He has lost some mobility because His uni is too F”in tight.
October 17th, 2007 at 7:35 pm
Sorry for not paying attention to the comment queue, I’ll be better this period I swear.
October 17th, 2007 at 7:41 pm
Was a bit concerned about that Josh. I thought I was making these wonderful fans sleep.
October 17th, 2007 at 8:14 pm
This game is nuts. I’m loving it.
October 17th, 2007 at 8:20 pm
Holy crap, this game is sick. But I do hate when Our D throw a player on top of Marty. Oh lookie here another Pen in the box, 4 minutes,they need to score. I think it’s safe to say Weeksie is in the pipes tomorrow. And the Pen Fans will blow up the Dev’s bus
October 17th, 2007 at 8:23 pm
a highly entertaining game, that’s for sure
October 17th, 2007 at 8:26 pm
This game is amazing. Everyone in the penguins building.. minus the devils and their fans… are sooo pissed. haha. i am loving this game.. it is NUTS!
October 17th, 2007 at 8:51 pm
I love Asham already.
October 17th, 2007 at 8:53 pm
Beautiful bounce pass by Patty to Parise on that goal by Asham. Like something out of miniature golf, it was!
October 17th, 2007 at 9:09 pm
Huge win for the boys.
October 17th, 2007 at 9:17 pm
I could do without the John Sterling, but it was a crazy game, so what the hell.
October 17th, 2007 at 9:32 pm
Big confidence-building win.
And one of these times, the Devils will finally put the puck into that tricky empty net. I’m thinking they have some kind of depth perception problem - like the old Magic Eye visuals.
October 17th, 2007 at 9:52 pm
great game.. parise had 3 assists at Center! madden and pando got a goal each.. clarkson got a pair of assists.. and i think elias had 2 assists (?).. good game, marty was on tonight, cant really blame him for the goals against (except maybe Gonchar’s PP goal.. looked save-able)
October 17th, 2007 at 11:51 pm
Favorite new player: Asham
Bum new player: Zubrus
October 18th, 2007 at 12:15 am
Hey remember when we all hated the Devils? Haha man those were the days.
October 18th, 2007 at 6:13 am
nice john sterling at the end..at least,..that’s hat i think you were trying to do..anywho..how amesome is mr. parise? how m,nay million points did he have again?
October 18th, 2007 at 9:21 am
please don’t ever do that “theeeeeee so-n-so win” yankee crap when you are refering to my devils. a thank you.
October 18th, 2007 at 4:23 pm
Say what you would like about the pens, but if you have any idea what youre talking about, you would see that some of the calls on the Pens was ridiculous. If we were in their shoes we would’ve gotten mad also. The too many men on the ice was stupid, if the Pens had too many, so did we. Common sense. I wouldn’t be too proud of this game, we got lucky.
October 18th, 2007 at 4:48 pm
AkA: The “theee devils win” thing was hilarious, stop being a typical stuck up mets/red sox fan.
Insert name: Take em as they come, we got lucky on that win, but its not like that’s never happened to us.
October 18th, 2007 at 4:58 pm
Just a quick note to everyone, be careful not to go the route of name calling and such — we’re not THAT kind of site. Respect each other, we’re all hockey fans here. (=
