After last nights exciting game, the Flyers travel up the turnpike to take on the Newark New Jersey Devils.  The tough first week of the season continues tonight in a barn that is not friendly to the Orange & Black.  Marty Broduer will be playing in his 1000th game as a Devil on their opening night so expect the place to be pretty wild…you know, wild in terms of a New Jersey Devils game wild.  Their fans aren’t exactly ‘rabid’ now, are they?  The Devils brought back Jacques Lemaire, because, I guess they thought their offense was too explosive under Brent Sutter.  Under Lemaire, expect to see the type of mind-numbingly repetitive hockey that the Devils were known for in the mid-late 90s.  This Devils team may look a bit different to you tonight, althought Fatty McGoalieman is still between the pipes, this team lost Jon Madden, Jay Pandolfo, Brian Gionta, Brenden Shanahan, Scott Clemmenson and Mike Rupp.  Thats alot of character, history and goals to lose all in one season. The Devils are like that character in high school movies, you know, the jock that every girl bangs and was the big cheese 10 years ago, but when you run into him now at a Wawa, you can tell that he’s broke, has 3 bastard kids and works minimum wage.  Sure, he’s still got his stories and his ‘legacy’, but his current self is a shell of a being…so maybe he’s more like an M&M that has all the chocolate sucked out of it by Lou Lamoriello.  Anyway, this team is strikingly different that what we’re used to seeing come out of Jersey.  Be on the lookout for Zach Parise, Travis Zajac and ex-Flyer Danius Zubrus.  Those guys put the biscuit in the basket and will be the main targets for Mr
