The Song for Tonight: "Thanks a lot" by Johnny Cash. Giving thanks with sarcasm since 1932! Mr. Johnny Cash knew how to sing a song about the highs and lows and heartbreaks of life with the best of them. So let's all give thanks in our own special way about the highs and lows of our very own heartbreakers The New Jersey Devils.

The Reminder of Rules: This is a place where you can comment about this game before, during, and after it's played before the recap is up. This is a place where we primarily discuss the Devils game. An odd mention of other NHL games is OK, but it shouldn't dominate discussion. All comments will be clean, respectful of each other, relevant to the game, and legal (read: no streams). Please refrain from super-big pictures and .GIFs to keep the gamethread moving for everyone. If you do post pictures make sure to post a title in the comment. Go Devils.
