I didn’t think things could get as bizarre as they were during the Ilya Kovalchuk contract penalty fiasco, him walking away from $80 million to go to Russia or having the team captain bolt for home a month after playing in … Continue reading →

Despite Kinkaid heroics, Devils’ late-game and shootout woes continue

Posted on December 9, 2014 by hasan4978

Posted on December 5, 2014 by hasan4978
