An ideal team to play in the midst of Bedard Watch.
Cheering for my original team to win helps my hometown team get closer to Bedard. So, let’s go devils.
Someday, I’d like to see my 2 teams play each other in the playoffs though. Here’s hoping
I am very unhappy that this isn’t a game we can win with no tank consequences. I want Devils fans to fucking suffer, since they’ve all instantly forgotten their team has been an irrelevant lottery team for a decade and have been absolute pricks on the internet all year. What could be better than the schadenfreude of their team losing to the last place team Gaudreau chose over them?
Imagine being able to have Timo Meier on your 3rd line 😖
If we win this game I’m gonna cry
