GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (18-10-2, 38 Pts) vs. Toronto Maple Leafs (16-9-2, 34 Pts), 7 PM, ESPN+/Hulu

[Richer's Ghost]

Ah hell, this is one of those ESPN+/Hulu games. Who's on the call? People don't like Buccigross but I honestly don't think he's that bad. None of them are Bill and Dano quality, though.

I have some great news everyone!

Get ready for more playoff vibes with Bob calling the game.

Zach Braff is also a Jersey kid. Our dads saw each other in court a few times- mine was a doctor who appeared as a witness for cases and his was a lawyer. And my dad and Zach are alumni of Columbia High in Maplewood.

Real shame we never got Stolarz. He's good, and also grew up a Devils fan and admired Brodeur.

Shoutout Columbia! My wife went there. Got stuffed in a locker when she was a freshman lol.

So no traveling phone booth?

Can you make the letters the same color as the background to honor this Leafs’ moment?

A Brief History of NHL Uniforms - The Hockey Writers Hockey History Latest News, Analysis & More

Have you ever wondered why referees wear striped shirts or teams have to wear contrasting colors? We look at NHL uniforms through the ages.

thehockeywriters.com

“In 1977-78, the NHL passed a new rule stating that players had to have their names appear on their jerseys along with their numbers. Leaf owner, Harold Ballard refused, claiming no one would then buy his programs. The league threatened heavy fines, so Ballard gave in. For Toronto’s next game in Chicago on February 26, 1978, the names appeared on the Leaf’s blue jerseys….in blue, making them unreadable. The next day the league changed the wording of the rule, to stipulate the names must be in a colour opposite to the colour of the jersey.“

It is amazing how quaint the thinking was then...owners also feared putting the games on TV thinking nobody'd ever come to a game again, ignoring that by making these games accessible to the public you create more fans in the long run and TV will never come close to replicating the in-arena experience, at least not until the VR experience gets a bit more refined.

I will not be watching most likely, Path of Exile 2 still calls to me. But I believe in the boys

Wischusin and Weekes

 

[Emperoreddy]

Very tough one at home where we don't play our best at the moment

 

[Louskoolaid89]

Stop being the Leafs bitch especially at home. Win one for us and Sheldon. LGD!

is "stuffed in a locker" a euphemism for something else?

It’s not Sean McDonough tonight, and that’s all I care about. That dude is one of the worst in the business. I can’t believe he’s what ESPN decided to trot out for the finals. Just unbearably boring.

 

[njdevils1982]

domi playing? great. now were going to see his piece of shit cement head father at the rock again

 

[BostonDevil]

Bunch of stuff going on tonight so probably won't be watching as closely as I'd like, but it'd be really cool to see the bottom 6 help out a little.

LGD!

Score first and score often!

 

[Bleedred]

Would be nice if Markstrom could actually keep the score down in a close game where he faces more than 19 or 20 shots.

I'll still gladly take us ringing up the score though, but I'm just saying if we can't.

 

[Satans Hockey]

I finally caught up in all the games, still not really in the mood for more sports but going tonight after missing the last 4 home games.

LETS GO DEVILS!!!

We’re due to get Good Markstrom one of these days, right?

Honestly, as long as our offense can get going, I’d settle for Not Actively Bad Markstrom.

Get ya minds out the gutter

She’s very tiny and one of the “rougher” bigger girls put her in a locker.

Ugh, that still sounds shitty, unless it was a friendly prank.

Some of the shit people do as kids and adults is absolutely horrible.
