Posted on November 14, 2021 by Derek

Devils de-claw Panthers at the Rock

Posted on November 10, 2021 by hasan4978

Coming back from a moderately successful West Coast trip, the omens weren’t great for the Devils before tonight’s game. Personally, I almost forgot I was going to the game tonight – which I didn’t exactly take as a good sign … Continue reading →

Devils call up Holtz after costly trip to Anaheim

Posted on November 4, 2021 by hasan4978

Might as well post this YouTube of Alexander Holtz’s two-goal night in Utica that the Devils put up on their channel last night (foreshadowing his callup today) instead of anything from Tuesday’s fiasco of a game. Pretty much the less … Continue reading →

Posted on November 1, 2021 by hasan4978

In our post-relevant era, few teams have given us more fits than the Columbus Blue Jackets, who we’ve gone just 5-14-1 against since the end of the 2014-15 season. Of course we haven’t played the Blue Jackets in nearly twenty … Continue reading →

Devils grind their way to 2-0 despite Hughes’ injury

Posted on October 20, 2021 by hasan4978

Normally a second home game of the season can be a sleepy affair, especially when it’s between interconference teams (and ones that have never met before last night at that). Last night’s 4-2 win over the Kraken was anything but … Continue reading →

Devils 2021-22 season preview

Posted on October 12, 2021 by hasan4978

Blackout and Blackwood’s status (plus injuries) mars the end of preseason

A Devilish question for fans

Posted on October 5, 2021 by Derek

The Devils defeated the Capitals 4-1 in a preseason game Monday night. Once again, former 2020 first round picks Alex Holtz and Dawson Mercer had good showings.
