Post Game: The Devil Went Down To Newark

(The Devil then left because Newark is literally worse than Hell)

(Azevedo’s a bit of a rube and protects his twitter account so I had to take a picture instead of embedding it proper)
I had to admit Justin had me there, and even though Young Guns era games vs. Lemaire’s Wild games had been blocked out of my memory, I can concede that those games were most assuredly worse.
Still, this one was drudgingly, Ben Hanowskingly slow and plodding, and it was soooo hard to watch, to the point where I decided I was going to kind of phone this one and only dedicate the amount of time and due analysis you expect from a pro like me that this game deserved.
So with that in mind, read about this game after the jump!
The Flames Are Making Me Work
I was literally going to have absolutely nothing after the jump, because that’s how awful the game was, but then the third period happened and Karri Ramo collectively all juiced our loins.
That’s all we’re going to talk about here. Karri Ramo was absolutely incredible in this game, Gio continues to be a mensch, and KARRI RAMO ended the Devils’ playoff hopes (no not really, but it’s close)
So now all I’m going to do is just write Karri Ramo’s name over and over.
