Preseason Gamethreads #1 & #2: New Jersey Devils vs. Philadelphia & at Montreal

Welcome to the first preseason gamethread of 2016. And the second. It’s a split-squad game tonight. No sense in making two gamethreads for preseason matchups.

The Matchups: New Jersey Devils vs. Philadelphia Flyers; New Jersey Devils at Montreal Canadiens

The Times: 7:00 PM EST for the Flyers; 7:30 PM EST for the Canadiens

The Broadcasts: For the Flyers game...none, apparently. For Montreal, they’ll air it on RDS.

The Song for Tonight: “Welcome Back” by Lost Horizon seems appropriate given its title. It’s also appropriate if you like wide vocal ranges, power metal, and

The Rules: The rules remain the rules. Here's a quick reminder since we’re getting back to actual hockey games by the Devils beyond prospects. Please keep your comments clean, legal (read: no streams, no links to streams, no asking for streams, no streams), and all about the game itself. Other scores are OK, but let's make sure the comments here are primarily about the Devils and these games. Also, let's respect each other, there's no need for drama or unwelcome nature of any sort. This is a gamethread, let's focus on the games. Thank you for reading. Go Devils!
