Tonight:
Shoutout to friend of the blog and NJDevs poster LOTCB ( Legend of the Clown Banner for the unenlightened) but a warning that his Sabres will go down tonight. Expect Marty to bring the A-game after giving up 4 to Blueland and 5 to Siberia. Expect the Devils to be ready to go and win it 2-1.
