I probably would have let Commesso get the easier of the two games opponent wise, even if it was game two of a back-to-back.

Devils are 7th in the league in goals scored per game where the Islanders are 26th.

Excited to see what he an Nazar can do, though.

Fenn, if we do the GDT's together:

Nazar + Commesso

The future is now

I will be watching this off and on while baking cookies (sugar and snickerdoodle).

Will Bedard ever be free from Kurafraud? It wasn’t bad when a was leeching points off him but now he can’t even do that.

If lines in the OP are accurate I would be really interested to see Bertuzzi in his place, especially since he's been playing better of late.

What's your recipe for sugar cookies? And what sort of icing are you working with?

Devils are going to skate circles around us. Commesso is going to get peppered and let in a ton of goals. Soda won't be able to come in because he is starting the 2nd half of the back to back.

Should be fun...

They're pretty hard to f*** up. Butter, flour, baking soda, sugar and vanilla.

Nothing like getting ready to sit down and enjoy the game only to find out it's on NHL Network and blacked out everywhere for me.

CB98 hit the crossbar!

What a pathetic PP!!

I’m so sick of us rushing unit 1 off. They just got 45 seconds.

 

[Dead Meat]

Holy shit at how bad they look...
