The stakes are always higher when it’s New York against New Jersey, and Thursday’s game between the two teams had an added storyline to ratchet up the intensity.
No, we’re not talking about Jack Hughes against Kaapo Kakko. The real action is Jimmy Fallon against the NJ Devil, in a bet that... appears to only have a winning outcome for one side?
This is 100 percent a deal with the Devil.
Good thing the Devils won, then, because we’re not sure what would’ve happened if the Rangers won. (Maybe Fallon pies the NJ Devil? But is it even satisfying to pie a mascot?)
At least Fallon took this like any proud Rangers fan, because if you're going to get pied in the face by the NJ Devil, you can at least get pied in the face while repping the Mika Zibanejad tarp.
