Flyers/Devils

Tonight's Atlantic Division match-up that you must pay attention to, and by must I mean if you can, is the Philadelphia Flyers hosting the New Jersey Devils.

-Tonight's game will decide if the regular season finale in Philadelphia is a must-win for the Flyers. If the Flyers win tonight, they are all but assured of a playoff spot. Lose and they absolutely have to win Sunday against the Penguins.

-One of the keys to the Flyers tonight is if Danielle Brasseire can take time out her busy "not worth the money" schedule of being anti-clutch and perhaps do something other than complain about there being checking in hockey and help carry the high-priced Flyers into the playoffs.

-Another big key to the Flyers success is Martin "Mrs. Brasseire" Biron. He has shown down the stretch that his 5-hole is wide and that is causing calls every hour from Sean Avery, thus losing much sleep.

-Scott Hartnell learned that trying to knock Sidney Crosby off hof his game just causes him to be more on his game. He is a physical guy, but that only works in the lockerroom after games.

For the Devils, if they win tonight, they get home ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs. That is huge for them because it allows Marty Brodeur to keep an eye on new in-laws to hook up with.

-They will most likely match-up against the New York Rangers. The Rangers have made the Devils their bitch this season, going 7-0 with one game to play. Being able to play the Rangers in more home games would benefit the Devils, since it would give them a quiet place to play.

If you're a Penguins fan, you should root for the Devils because that would give the Penguins a great opportunity of knocking the Flyers out of the playoffs once and for all.

This is Aaron, and that is life, deal with it.
