I think the New Jersey Devils love me.

You see, I’ve been praying for Alex Brooks to come back to the team. No, he’s not some great defenseman…in fact, he’s really not all that good at all. However, Brooks is five thousand times better than Brad Lukowich. Yeah, I really don’t like him.

So, with Lukowich questionable for tonight’s game with a sore ankle, the Devils called Brooksy up on emergency basis, because, remember, they love me. With Brooks called up, Lou Lamoriello disposed of Barry Tallackson, throwing him back to Lowell. Sorry Barry, but apparently no one likes you. Well, I like you, but everyone I’ve encountered seems to want your head on a platter. Yeah, you didn’t really do anything in your time with the Devils, and yeah, this had been you second chance now to prove your worth. Unfortunately, Barry-warry, I’m starting to think your future is not with the New Jersey Devils. Sigh.

Okay, so can we win a game tonight? We’re playing Florida here. Ed Belfour here. He’s like, 90 years old. Seriously. We’ll probably lose though. The Rangers lost against Belfour and co., and they’re just as bad as us right now. It’s not looking good.

Can Marty please get another win? He’s been stuck on 450 for what feels like forever now. I’d like to see #451 SOMETIME this century.
