This game was especially meaningful because I had an invitation to attend. As a Devils fan, I was also invested more than normal because they had to win the game in order to remain as a possible contender for the playoffs. For two periods it was a nerve wrecking experience. My friend, Chris and I were at the edge of our seats waiting to see who would score the first goal. This season other teams have dominated with first goals and it was particularly satisfying when the Devils made that goal at during the second period. We then experienced heightened nerves while waiting to see if the Flyers would tie up the score. The heart stopping moment was when it appeared that the Flyers had scored a goal. However, the referees stated there was a distinct kicking motion and disallowed the goal. The video room upheld the call. During the third period the Devils broke out with 2 goals to lead the game 3-0. My favorite moment was during the final two minutes,the Flyers' fans walked out en Mass when after the Devil's iced the game with an empty net goal. This is great news for the Devil's because they are still eligible to make the playoffs.
So, Nick, does it feel chilly in Philly?
