The story

Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

The group attends the NHL playoffs with Alec Berg's unused tickets, and Elaine finds out that David Puddy is a rowdy Devils fan who garishly paints his face. Puddy's celebratory bluster and devil visage petrify a foreign priest, who sequesters himself in terror of the "devil". Having thanked Alec up front, Jerry takes a stand against "overthanking" him after the game, then gets snubbed by Alec at a funeral and must decipher his attitude. George momentously confesses his love for the first time ever, but his girlfriend reacts like she did not hear him. At the zoo, a chimpanzee's mischief goads Kramer into retaliating against him.
