Devils’ Tuesday was more productive off-ice than on it

Posted on December 1, 2021 by hasan4978

For one day and one day only it feels irrelevant that the Devils put up another stinker at home, this time losing 5-2 to the Sharks in a game where they were down four after two periods and despite a … Continue reading →

Posted on November 29, 2021 by hasan4978

It’s only been a few days since my last blog but there’s been a bit of Devils news since then. First and foremost, after coach Lindy Ruff called Jack Hughes’ imminent return from a shoulder injury close last week, he … Continue reading →

Posted on November 20, 2021 by hasan4978

Momentum is a funny thing sometimes – you just never know when it can shift in a period, a game or even a season for players and teams alike. We saw several examples of this in Tampa this afternoon for … Continue reading →

Devils’ winning streak grinds to a halt in another matinee dud

Posted on November 13, 2021 by hasan4978

For all the things that may be changing so far with the Devils, apparently one thing destined never to change is the Devils’ dreadful record in weekend home matinees. It seems as if it’s the same script over and over … Continue reading →

Devils somehow split a sloppy West Coast trip

Posted on November 7, 2021 by hasan4978

A few games ago I said at one point the early part of this Devils season was a study in glass half-full and half-empty thinking. They lived that to a tee on the West Coast, following an ugly loss in … Continue reading →

Bernier’s return and Bratt’s penalty shot propel Devils to win in Pittsburgh

Posted on October 31, 2021 by hasan4978

I admit I could have watched last night’s game live but didn’t. After the awful last three games I needed a ‘show me’ effort since the Devils spent the better part of last week sulking around without Jack Hughes and … Continue reading →

End of Devils’ homestand flames out

Posted on October 26, 2021 by hasan4978

Posted on October 24, 2021 by hasan4978

Devils’ injury situation continues to mount as reality hits against Caps

Posted on October 22, 2021 by hasan4978

Let’s just start with the good news, I’m glad I couldn’t even watch last night’s game, let alone attend what was always going to be a predictable beatdown by the Caps, who’ve owned us the last several years. Sure, we … 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 →
