Devil Dog Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Good for Gomer. I can only hope that he averages more than a point per game when he comes back to the Devils. If there is hockey. And If the Devils don't fold before it comes back. And hopefully I still give a sh*t when it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
