Watching the New Jersey Devils and Montreal Canadiens fly up and down the ice got me excited at the idea of watvhing those two teams play each other in a potential playoff matchup. Obviously, that won’t be this season. Although the Habs are headed to the postseason, the Devils are heading for the golf courses after their final six games.
The Devils and Canadiens play again tonight, except this time, it’s on their turf. It could be a much different outcome. We’ll see.

P.S. Happy Easter and Passover, folks.
Okay, back to the hockey.
