Yes puck devotees, Hockey Inc. rolls into the Prudential Center tonight for a 7 pm tilt with the Devils. No doubt the Devils are still stinging after referee Brad Watson gave New Jersey a screw job last night and disallowed an obviously good goal. The Red Wings played a very spirited affair with Original Six brethren Montreal last night at Joe Louis Arena coming out on top 4-2. So both teams played last night so being tired won't be an excuse for anyone. The Red Wings will send Chris Osgood out after his 399th career win tonight while hall of famer Martin Brodeur will be between the pipes for the Devils.
No word on if Wings coach Mike Babcock will split up the Euro Twins, Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg. Datsyuk scored the winner last night against the Habs. The Devils will need some push physically and will certainly need to win corner battles against Detroit's muckers like Danny Cleary, Tomas Holmstrom and big Todd Bertuzzi. Another key for the Devils is how they do on faceoffs tonight. A team simply can't lose faceoffs and start chasing the Wings puck possession game.
All in all it should be a riot tonight at The Rock. Johnny will be there and you should be too.
