I think the Devils break out for 4 or 5 tonight.  I got that feeling that this is one of those nights AlMo feels like playing.  Look for Pando and Gio to get goals too, and NJ wins it 4-2.  Devs ALWAYS school the Iggle.

We always seem to raise our game a little against better teams, so I wouldn't be surprised if that happens, and hopefully it does. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if we lost 5-2 either.

The Leafs are, at best, not much better than the Devils. This is probably the team that NJ will have to battle for the last playoff spot, so I hope the team shows up tonight.

Having said that, I won't be surprised if we're all disappointed tonight. Let's hope not though.

Let's go Devils!

I think the Leafs are almost identical to this New Jersey team, erratic, unable to score much, good goaltending but awful defense.

On the plus side, Toronto is 25th in PK. Which means after tonight, they should move up, say 10 spots? What's the over/under on that?

Toronto's power play vs. NJ PK should be interesting.

I still think a 4-2 NJ win.
