Devils @ Islanders, 1/18/10: An Extremely Long Tivo Delay

What kind of holiday is this? Schnookie gets the day off, but Boomer and Pookie don’t? And Pookie’s working the late shift at the reference desk, so she won’t be home until 10:00 tonight? And the Devils are playing a matinee?? This sucks! So… we won’t be watching this until laaaaaaaaaaaaate tonight. But spoilers are [...]

Devils vs. Islanders, 2/11/09

It’s Wednesday night, Gentle Reader, so you know what that means: Tivo delay! We’ll be watching Pando’s sure-to-be-triumphant return to the lineup much later this evening, so in the meantime, we’ll leave you with a portrait of Victory Euro Mats. V.E. Mats loves Pando. Look how happy he is! We’re assuming he’ll be just as [...]

Devils @ Islanders, 1/17/09

PREGAME Mood: Blissed out. We’ve spent the previous two Martin Luther King weekends traveling for family reasons, and while we always like to visit family members, we also really like being home. So this year we’re not going anywhere for the weekend, and as a result managed not to be flying out of Philly on [...]

FIRST PERIOD 7:30 pm What are the chances Paulie gets another gamewinner tonight? Very high, says PaulieMartinNation. Shut up! It could totally happen! 7:35 pm When Gio found out there’s an 6’8″ guy on the other team, his eyes turned into 6’8″ platters. There’s nothing Gio loves more than taking on the giants! 7:50 pm [...]

Devils vs. Bruins, 04/02/08: Open Thread (Now With More Musings!)

There will be no diary for tonight’s Devils-Bruins game. All that positive thinking last night took too much out of us. (OK, really, the lack of the diary is simply thanks to Pookie’s uncompromising work schedule.) We will be watching Claude Julien’s (almost certainly) triumphant return to New Jersey on a lengthy TiVo delay. Please [...]

Devils @ Islanders, 04/01/08

Hey, Gentle Reader, here’s an April Fool’s joke for you: we’re going to be positive about this game! (Yeah, it would be better if we did the reveal at the end of this post, but we’re not kidding when we say we’re terrible at pranking.) So… we feel GREAT about the Devils! They’re facing some [...]

Devils vs. Islanders, 03/21/08

Looking on the bright side tonight, at least it’s not the Rangers, right? Looking on the bad side, though, Patty’s still out. That should help make the Devils offense awesome. Doc leads things off with a deftly-worded, “A good and meaningful holiday season to you.” The guy’s not considered the best in the business for [...]
