Rask stuck out his right pad to make the save, leaving the NHL's leading scorer to flash a wry grin.
However, it still gave us a good feel for the new pad, and right off the bat we could see a real difference.

After Holtby got his right pad out to stop Buffalo's Tyler Ennis, Ovechkin sealed the victory by snapping a shot through Enroth's legs.
He was much better some eight minutes later, when he kicked out his right pad to foil Tyler Ennis set up alone in front.
Miller made his best stop on the Devils' next attempt when he kicked out his right pad at the last moment to stop Patrik Elias.
He stopped the shot with his right pad, and the Devils' fans in the crowd sang out "Moose, " which has been Hedberg's nickname since 2001, when he kept wearing his old Manitoba Moose face mask even though he had been called up by Pittsburgh.
At other times, too, the pad mistook left clicks for right ones.

There is a four-way navigational pad in the lower-right corner of Push, and this can be used to move the 8 x 8 grid's focus around your session.

Besides the Zune Pad just not feeling quite right (sweeping motions didn't predictably correspond to cursor movement), it's also worth mentioning that our experience with the Zune Pad wasn't entirely bug free, either.

Still, the pad itself has just the right amount of friction, and already responds well to those Win 8 gestures, so we feel it has potential as a more all-purpose navigation device once Lenovo fixes the drivers.

"It was a cold winter morning out in Afghan and I was just walking down a sandy path with overgrown trees on it when I put my right foot onto a pressure pad IED, it detonated and the next thing I knew I was on my back, " he said.
In the middle is a long list of contacts (sucked in from BBM, Facebook, Twitter and Google Contacts, among others) that is searchable and, in the right tab is a simple dial pad in case you're one of the lucky few who can actually remember a phone number.
The tablet fits inside the Gamepad with a joystick and buttons on the right and another joystick with a directional pad on the left.
We eventually got to the Facebook Java app hidden inside the Applications folder -- apparently right-click on the D-pad should launch it but we had no luck with that.
Since the embedded gyroscopes are used along with the d-pad and analog stick for navigation, selecting the right menu option feels akin to whack-a-mole -- unless the controller is held impossibly still.
For those who don't know, the "Pad Only" area simply houses apps that are tagged as pad-only by users -- you can do so by tapping and holding an app icon in the drawer, followed by dragging it to the "Add Pad-only Tag" button in the top-right corner.

We didn't have to change our usual or "traditional" finger positioning, meaning we were able to keep our right thumb in the bottom left corner of the pad and use our index finger to navigate. (Even if our thumb moved slightly up on the pad it still worked.) Best of all, while using that finger positioning we rarely zoomed in on something by mistake.

Hendricks scored by faking to his right and then going to his left, where he flipped a shot over goalie's pad.
Even with touch sensitivity turned off, clicking left or right with a second thumb resting (but not pressing) on the opposite side of the Pad resulted in scrolling the reverse direction.

The bottom-left 4 x 4 pads represent drum sounds (touch the slider to scroll up and down through even more sounds), while the bottom-right quarter of the grid serves as a clip-length control (press and hold the first pad, tap the fourth for a four-bar loop, etc.).
