Devils’ Western Canada trip microcosm of their season

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

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 →

Perhaps it’s for the best if I don’t see any highlights (or lowlights as they were) of last night’s 6-2 loss in Washington.  What I heard on the radio was more than enough with Cory Schnieder’s misplay on the fifth … Continue reading →

Devils Game #2: A rare laugher in Florida

Despite the Devils’ Opening Night win on Thursday I was prepared for more angst last night.  After all, our trips to Sunrise the last couple years have both led to soul-crushing defeats.  Even in 2012 when we beat the Panthers … Continue reading →

Shades of 2012 in Devils’ wild season opener at Philly

For the first thirty-five minutes of the Devils’ season opener last night, things couldn’t have gone much better on the scoreboard.  Despite being outshot in every period, the Devils jumped out in front 3-0 before disaster struck in the final … Continue reading →
