The Song of the Day: Today is the day of the New Jersey Devils home opener. So I had to think of who to put on as the song of the day. I don’t want to be cliche and throw a Springsteen song on here. Devils fans are already well acquainted with The Gaslight Anthem. And I’m not a pop punker, so you probably won’t see me putting those usual suspects here very often (more likely newer acts in that genre). I’ll turn to something more devilish in Overkill’s Scorched, off their recent album of the same name. I like the blend of sounds on this song, as it takes a little while for Overkill to settle into their usual thrash. But for a new season and a new chance for the Devils to prove themselves, this one goes well today.
A Note: Since today is the home opener, I am opening up the gamethread extra early. With the fan activities starting around The Rock at 4:00 PM today, I want to give everyone a chance to check into the gamethread early in case they are enjoying the game in person. Have fun if you’re there!
The Rules: If you have been a reader here, you already know the rules. But for the rest, a reminder: please do not swear in the comment section, and keep comments relevant to the hockey game going on. Beyond that, do not attack any other commenters, and do not ask for or pass along illegal streams on this board.
LGD!
