Saturday Open Thread

It’s one of those terrible Saturdays where the NHL schedule and Pookie’s schedule have conspired to make us have to watch the Devils on significant tivo delay. Bummer. So here’s an open thread for all the thrills and chills of today’s hockey. We aren’t on radio silence, so we’ll be in and out.

Devils vs. Avalanche, 2/26/09 — Oh, Just Another Game…

Devils @ Panthers, 2/17/09
