This is getting ridiculous. Did they specifically get people who hate the Devils to pick our 15 To Remember? Because yes, FSN, we remember this game. NOT FONDLY.
FIRST PERIOD
19:59 We get almost no intro because this was a long one. We just jump right into the play-by-play, as Doc is complaining about some stupid-assed thing Stan said in the pregame. Ahh, how badly we miss hockey — there’s just a shortage of stupid Stan stuff in our lives right now.
19:27 Gomez and Gio combine on a nice passing play on the rush, and Gio somehow stupidly pushes a ginormous Nittymaki rebound wide of a gaping net. Was there ever a point this season where Gio was burying those chances?
18:31 Wow — this is one of the six games over the past two years that Forsberg played for the Flyers.
17:38 Marty doesn’t stand a chance when Lukowich is on the ice. A shot from the point gets tipped in, allegedly by Ben Eager, but we all know it was Choco who made it go in. Pookie points out that every goal call against the Devils from mid-December through mid-March last year went something like, “Let’s go back and look at that again — I think it might have gone off Brad’s [name a body part].”
