Devils vs. Lightning, 01/08/10

Our pregame show tonight is a celebration of Patty’s awesomeness from the Stars game. Our hearts are so aglow with fondness for him that we’re sure he’s going to utterly suck tonight. As is his wont when we’re not reminding him how much he sucks. We are very cranky after a bad day at work, [...]

Devils vs LightningBOLTS!, 12/4/09

Hey look! It’s the Devils and the LightningBOLTS!! Let’s have at it! FIRST PERIOD 19:51 Doc is as puzzled as everyone else when Jacques starts the game with an unholy line of Zach, Niedermayer (the Lesser) and Pikkarainen. Seriously. This might be just because everyone’s gotten kind of mellow about the constant line changing, so [...]

Devils @ Lightning BOLTS!, 10/8/09

Could this be it? Could this be our first Devils win in months and months and months? If it is, Steve doesn’t care – he leads off our pregame stuff with instructions how to find our local listings online so we can watch the far more interesting Rangers-Caps game on MSG. When the pregame cuts [...]

Well, in the pregame show they had a feature called “Ask The Announcers” in which [...]

Devils vs. Lightning, 11/5/08 — Postgame Report

Things we liked about tonight’s game: 1. The defense looked, for the most part, pretty solid. As we write this in the moments immediately after finishing the game up, we can’t think of any specific examples of when the Devils played a defensive shift that made our eyeballs puke barbed-wire fireballs. In other words, we [...]

Devils vs. Lightning, 03/07/08

We’re super-excited tonight to see the Devils playing one of the few teams in the NHL that we don’t out-and-out hate. Of course, ask us again after 60 minutes of hockey whether we still feel that way about the Lightning. It’s always nice to get to scout future Devil Vinny Lecavalier, right? Right? Steve leads [...]
