Devils vs. Canucks, 12/2/09

Tonight we’re trying something we’ve very rarely done since starting IPB — we’re not tivoing a Devils game while Pookie is working the late shift at the reference desk. In the past we’ve always recorded the games on her late nights, gone on radio silence, and then watched them starting after 10:00 when she gets home. A couple of weeks ago, though, when Pookie realized she was working on the night of a Devils/Canucks game, we thought long and hard about our usual arrangement. And then we thought long and hard about what happened last time we didn’t save the game until after she got home — the Devils beat the Capitals in Washington in what ended up being an awesome game that was an early-season turning point as the Devils started to really come together as a good team. Then we thought long and hard about all of the Devils/Canucks games we can remember watching and realized that not a single one of them springs to mind as being a positive experience. So we decided to see if we can capture that Devils/Caps magic again tonight. With Pookie unable to see the game, and flying without a tivo net, can the Devils play their best game of the season? Stay tuned to find out!
