Devils’ disturbing patterns continue in SO loss to Wings

Posted on November 29, 2014 by hasan4978

One of the reasons I don’t write recaps after every game is because the game summaries have become redundant with this Devils team.  Aside from the occasional regulation or OT win that keeps the Devils close enough to foster the illusion … Continue reading →

Posted on November 26, 2014 by hasan4978

Two months into the season, finally there is some news on the Martin Brodeur front.  Not the retirement announcement some might have expected by now, but in fact a post-Thanksgiving tryout with a Blues team that lost starting goaltender Brian … Continue reading →

Cory Schneider returned to Vancouver. He did his part making 34 saves. His teammates did not. The Devils were shutout by the Canucks 2-0. Ryan Miller made 20 saves to hand them a second straight defeat. They concluded a four-game … Continue reading →

Devils’ Western Canada trip microcosm of their season

Posted on November 23, 2014 by hasan4978

Last night may have provided the perfect symbolism for two ships passing in the night.  While the Islanders completed a home-and-home sweep of the Penguins that lifted a previously hapless team into first place, the Devils continue to stumble every time … Continue reading →

One step forward, one giant leap backward for Schneider, Devils

Posted on November 16, 2014 by hasan4978

It’s amazing how one game and one night can change your entire perspective on things.  After Friday night, when Cory Schneider was the hero in Washington with a 1-0 shutout win and had two excellent puck-stopping games in a row, it … Continue reading →

Schneider, Cammalleri throw the Devils a life preserver in Wild win

Posted on November 12, 2014 by hasan4978

After four straight defeats dropped the Devils below .500 they faced if not a must-win, then something very close to it last night against the Wild…especially with the other locals winning big last night.  With pressure mounting and captain Bryce … Continue reading →

Rebuild vs. retool – an organization at a crossroads

Posted on November 8, 2014 by hasan4978

Losses, more injuries have Devils singing the Blues

Posted on November 7, 2014 by hasan4978

Since I had other plans I watched almost none of Tuesday’s 1-0 home shutout against the Blues, and little of last night’s 4-3 loss in St. Louis.  Clearly I missed very little until the Devils’ sudden and unexpected three-goal outburst … Continue reading →

Henrique, Larsson rally Devils to needed win over Blue Jackets

Posted on November 2, 2014 by hasan4978

Despite the Devils’ 5-3-2 start, last night’s home game against Columbus was critically important for a number of reasons, the obvious one being it was a division game against a team weakened by massive injury concerns.  Among others, the Jackets … Continue reading →

Devils win in unlikliest fashion imaginable

Posted on October 31, 2014 by hasan4978

For Halloween, the Devils gave the fans both a treat and a trick…the treat of a late-game comeback on a pretty Michael Ryder goal that salvaged an otherwise drab game, and the trick of ending THE CURSE.  Of course I … Continue reading →
