Broadcast: Streaming: ESPN+, Hulu; Sound: Devils Hockey Radio

Matchups: New Jersey Devils vs. Florida Panthers

Tonight’s song: The Devils beat them twice in NoMeansNoevember. So why not go back to the NoMeansNo well for a bit. Well after they called it a day, John Wright did some work, played with some robots and decided: well, I can still tour and make stuff. So he did. His project Dead Bob – he is the cheerful guy who hangs on You’re killing me EP – finished 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 anything left in the tank for another release. Meanwhile, from the 2023s Life asenjoy “One of you.”

The rules: The rules remain as they are, even with the Devils hosting the defending champions 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 no personal attacks (play nice or you won’t play here) no illegal streams (this means no asking, no hints, nothing about it)and please keep your comments relevant to this game. Go Devils!
