After beating them twice in Sunrise, the New Jersey Devils will host the Florida Panthers at the Rock tonight. Will they sweep the season series with them? Talk about it here in this post, a Gamethread.
Our Favorite Team is now hosting the defending champions, a team they beaten twice in November. Wins that told the league that the 2024-25 New Jersey Devils really are different and better. Another one tonight would be another step forward.
The Time: 7:30 PM ET
The Broadcast: Streaming: ESPN+, Hulu; Audio: Devils Hockey Radio
The Matchup: The New Jersey Devils vs. Florida Panthers
The Song of the Evening: The Devils beat them twice in NoMeansNoevember. So why not go kind of back to the NoMeansNo well. Well after they called it a day, John Wright did some work, played with some robots, and decided: yeah, I can still tour and do things. So he did. His project Dead Bob – he’s the cheery guy hanging himself on the You Kill Me EP – finished up a tour back in December. We’ll see if John and his friends (Ford Pier of DOA! Kristy Lee Audette of Rong! Byron Slack of Invasives!) have something left in the tank for another release. In the meantime, from 2023’s Life Like, enjoy “One of You.”
The Rules: The rules remain as they are even with the Devils are hosting the defending champs tonight. 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!
