Okay fair enough.
I used to do what you did...until I got tired of getting all excited during a game and then suffering a crushing loss in the end, and wondering(not for the first time) why the hell I wasted 3 hours of my life?
For me, seeing the final score determines whether I watch or don't watch (and just look at the highlights or condensed game).
My stress levels are kept low with this method.
But hey....whatever works for you, my friend.
Enjoy the game.
Tropic Thunder is definitely the correct GDT theme for Game 69. 
I'm having my neighbors over for dinner tonight, so I won't be able to post, but I'll try to catch part of the game.
I hope Florida used up all their offense in their previous outing and come out flat tonight.

I'm of the opinion that Jack will pretty much drive a line and have them perform reasonably well no matter what, so if I'm moving Timo to that third line, I'd probably have him paired up with Bratt on either side of Haula.
Then Jack can play with Palat + Boqvist or something and based on Jack being jack, I think it would still be okay

I actually would like a line of Mercer/Boqvist/Bratt to be created.
That would make an outstanding 3rd line.

Tatar is slowing down? He scored a goal last game and had one huge chance besides that.

Also 2nd highest xGF% on the team the last 10 games with 71.43%.
Not to mention it is his partnership with Hischier that appears to be driving that line.
I don't want to break them up, because they've been ridiculously good. But if for some reason a player needs to be taken off that line, it should actually be Mercer.

Makes sense to be blacked out for this game. I’m definitely going to be driving 2.5 hours to sunrise to catch this game in person

A regulation win would cut the magic number to clinch a playoff spot in half.

Don't mind the lines at all, it would be great to have three lines that are a scoring threat. It could be a matchup nightmare for other teams.
Weird he didn't sustain being +1 every game, wonder what happened there. Guess he's due for a demotion.
In Tatar's last 8 games, he has been on the ice for 74 shots for and 45 shots against, but yeah he's 'slowing down', it's not that Mercer isn't scoring on 30% of his shots anymore.

Starting to get nostalgic for that X (Clinched) mark next to the Devils position in the standings.
I remember as a kid opening up the sports page always to see us among the teams to clinch first or second well before the end of the season.
Here’s to that becoming a recurring feeling for the foreseeable future.
Yes. Right now the max points the Panthers (first out) can get is 103 points. The Devils are at 95. That puts the magic number at 8/9 points depending on tie breaker. A regulation win over the Panthers would take 4 points (2 on the Devils end, 2 on the Panthers off the magic number down to 4 or 5 points needed.
The Panthers would stay ahead of the Sabres whose max points are currently at 100.

Awaiting for the bleedred team bus spy pics and other sundry tidbits of factoids relating to tonights matchup in sunrise...
...like how if there's even a slight chance that Blackwood might play tonight, @Bleedred will be lying in wait ready to pull a Tonya Harding and send him straight back to LTIR.

Absolutely love these lines, and hopefully we get to see them for a full game. Meier scored his first goal at the tail end of probably the best shift he has taken as a Devil, which was his first one with Haula and Boq. Absolutely nothing wrong with rolling three scoring lines, especially when Meier has looked horrific with Jack and you just can't break up the first line right now. Imo Meier needs his own line to be successful and he's probably going to get some good matchups with Hughes and Hischier taking the tough ones for the entire night.

Actually, while the Isles are ahead of the Panthers in points and point %, their max is 102, so that is actually the magic # for the Devils (since the Panthers AND Isles (and the Rangers and Pens) would have to (all) pass them to push them out of the playoffs.

No just kidding. I just wanted to ride by and see if that’s where they were staying. Sometimes teams stay by the beach but sometimes they stay here which is like 5 minutes away and kind of rinky dink for a hockey team. I mean it’s a nice hotel for common folk but it’s not really fancy.
