No more split squad games. Also: no more games at the Rock until October 11. This preseason is now entirely a road trip. The first stop: Brooklyn.
The Matchups: The New Jersey Devils at the New York Islanders (SBN Blog: Lighthouse Hockey)
The Times: 7:00 PM ET
The Broadcasts: TV - MSG, MSG+
The Song for the Night: Brooklyn has been the home to several notable hardcore bands. Biohazard, for one. Merauder, for another. And for those who like 90s hardcore with dark, introspective lyrics, a snappy snare, and a metal-ish sound that would eventually help inspire 2000s metalcore to come, Indecision. From the title track of this 1997 EP, this is “Most Precious Blood” as yelled by their original singer. Don’t surrender your soul.
The Rules: The rules remain the rules even when the game features the second least odious hockey team in New York. (The least? Buffalo.) Please keep your comments clean, legal (read: no streams, no links to streams, no asking for streams, no streams), and all about the games itself. Just as importantly, let’s respect each other. There’s no need for drama or being unwelcoming of your fellow Devils fan. This is a Gamethread, let’s focus on the game. Thank you for reading. Go Devils!
