Welcome to the regular season! The New Jersey Devils are in Prague to take on the Buffalo Sabres. Will Sheldon Keefe outcoach Lindy Ruff? Will the Devils get a win in their first game? Discuss it all here.
Good afternoon. It is the beginning of the 2024-25 regular season. The games now count. It has been close to a week since the New Jersey Devils played a game. This is going to be something to behold. Hopefully it is a win since, again, the games now count.
The Time: 1:00 PM ET
The Broadcast: TV: MSGSN, MSG-Buffalo, NHL Network; Audio: Devils Hockey Radio
The Matchup: The New Jersey Devils vs. Buffalo Sabres in Prague, Czechia
The Song of the Afternoon: There is a lot of passion in music in Czechia. Notable artists and bands, um, not as much? So you have to dig. Here is a fun story. Czech musician Miloš “Dodo” Doležal went to L.A. to study and work on his music. He met up with an artist in America called Guy Mann-Dude, who contributed to his second solo album, Dráždivý Dotek, which had a single called “Soudím.” This is very much a power ballad. It helped Dodo cement himself in Czech music.
The Rules: The rules remain as they are as the Devils begin the season. Please keep your language clean (this means no swearing, don’t mask it, it’s not enough, no I don’t care what Tom Fitzgerald said), respect your fellow Devils fan with no personal attacks (play nice or you will not play here), no illegal streams (this means no asking, no hints, no nothing about it), and please keep your comments relevant to this game. Go Devils!
