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 →

Devils’ D leads the way offensively in wild comeback

Posted on December 22, 2013 by hasan4978

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 →

Groundhog Day At MSG: One point gained, one point lost as Devils prevail 4-3 over Rangers

Posted on December 8, 2013 by Derek

At the very least, the Rangers found a way to gain a point. It took long enough. Thirty games into a baffling season under first-year coach Alain Vigneault, they lost in overtime to the Devils 4-3 at Madison Square Garden. … 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 →
