Devils hire Sheldon Keefe as head coach
More than a month after the Devils’ season came to a quiet end, and closer to two months since I stopped caring about the 2023-24 season, the Devils finally have made some big news in the announcement of a new … Continue reading

Devils’ latest home-ice embarrassment brings their organizational ills to light
If you want to know what it’s like to simultaneously want to rant about your team and just don’t really give a fig anymore, try being a Devils fan this year. With expectations high after a franchise-best total of wins … Continue reading
