If you had as good a team as the one in Newark, would you boo when they lose a game? Even if the Devils fell to Scott Clemmensen and the Panthers, here’s one thing I know. You can’t win ’em … Continue reading →

Early this morning, what I suspected might happen (given that the Panthers have another game tomorrow) came to pass and Scott Clemmensen was named the starter for tonight’s game in New Jersey. While a lot of players can’t wait to … Continue reading →

Well, Matt Gilroy paid the price for his gaffe last night. He was sent down to Hartford today. Classic overreaction by an organization that is lost, eerily reminding us of pre-lockout. I guess I was wrong about Tom Renney. Under … Continue reading →
