Normally, I leave any New Jersey Devils game commentary either in Tweets, comments in the Gamethread, or I leave it for the recap. However, the December 8, 2016 road game against the Montreal Canadiens featured an incident that warrants immediate statement. Or, rather, a question: How was Carey Price allowed to stay in the game?
In the final minute in the first period, Kyle Palmieri drove into and past the Montreal defense. With Jeff Petry behind him, Palmieri pulled a move to drive the puck to the crease. Palmieri lost an edge and, with a little help from Petry, fell into Price.
