Devils give sellout crowd a big, fat lump of coal

Posted on December 28, 2013 by hasan4978

In actuality, last night’s crowd of 16,592 (apparently the new sellout number) got an 18-by-24 inch size Andy Greene poster in the first post-Christmas game of the season…it was the game itself that was the lump of coal, as the … Continue reading →

Jekyll-and-hyde Devils snow in Tampa Bay

Posted on December 15, 2013 by hasan4978

Our last three games have basically epitomized the Devils’ entire season…blowing a multi-goal lead in horrendous fashion at Columbus, no-showing in the first period in Pittsburgh on Friday night before rallying in the final two but in typical Devil fashion … Continue reading →

DeBoer, Devils still don’t get it

Posted on December 11, 2013 by hasan4978

Let’s face it, the state of area hockey as a whole is laughably bad, no matter which corner of the local triangle you want to look at.  In one corner, you have the Isles who have been buried in last … Continue reading →

Another flat night at the Rock

Posted on December 6, 2013 by hasan4978

Dreary weather outside (dark, rainy and cool) proved a fitting metaphor for tonight’s no-show at the Rock by the Devils.  Granted, I can’t kill the team from the perspective that tonight was their 10th game in 17 nights with a … Continue reading →

Devils’ Reid Boucher to make his NHL debut tonight vs. Habs

Posted on December 4, 2013 by hasan4978

With the Devils struggling to score and having few prospects available in the system up front, it seemed inevitable that 20-year old Reid Boucher would eventually be called up.  Especially once the former ’11 fourth-rounder started lighting it up in … Continue reading →

Devils burn the Sabres in OT with Bernier’s goal

Posted on December 1, 2013 by hasan4978

After a reprieve of sorts in Carolina on Friday with a rare four-goal outburst in the third period of a 5-2 win over the Canes, tonight’s ugly yet gritty effort against the Sabres was more the norm for the Devils … Continue reading →

Devils play like turkeys last night

Posted on November 28, 2013 by hasan4978

If Devils goalie Cory Schnieder feels like he’s Bill Murray in Groundhog Day so do Devil fans watching this team.  Because we’ve seen games like last night over and over again.  Bad/unneccesary coaching decisions, costly mistakes, intermittent passion and an … Continue reading →
