Complete story — includes the ending

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.
