Devils hit rock bottom (perhaps)

Posted on November 30, 2019

Normally I leave the Devil-Ranger recaps to Derek and certainly things are looking much better on the other side of the river at the moment with the Rangers above .500 and actually getting contributions from more than two or three … Continue reading →

Beating the Wings temporarily hides turmoil

Posted on November 24, 2019

Crickets chirping in Newark

Posted on November 14, 2019

NHL.com has this video clip of last night’s ‘highlights’ as nine minutes long.  I beg to differ, and not just because I’m salty over the Devils’ latest fiasco at the Prudential Center.  Even when the Devils had a 2-1 lead … Continue reading →

Posted on November 9, 2019

Instead of the winning streak clip from Major League, I get to post this one after the last two games – and really 90% of this season.  I wanted to post the Japanese gardner ‘they’re still ****ty’ clip from Major … Continue reading →

Groundhog Day in Newark

Posted on November 2, 2019
