Devils’ season comes to a head as Luke’s mistakes and the fans’ booing become the flashpoint for a franchise in crisis
When I made my last post in the preseason about stepping away, I wasn’t sure if I was retiring or just going on a semi-scaled back version of posting. Long story short, I just wasn’t having fun writing about this … Continue reading

Devils take both overseas games with back-to-back dominant performances
Ever since this cross-continent beginning of the season was announced, with the fact Lindy Ruff was named coach of the Sabres just days after the 2023-24 season, I was a bit anxious about having to play two games with them … Continue reading

Devils’ worldwide preseason nears split before next week’s overseas openers
As each year runs into the next it gets harder for me to get into preseason games – really of any sport. Whether it’s spring training in baseball where most of the games take place during the daytime, or NFL … Continue reading
Devils’ hat trick of signings (perhaps) caps off a busy week after inking Pesce, Dillon and Noesen
Where to start after yet another head-spinning day by Tom Fitzgerald and the New Jersey Devils? Might as well start with the obvious, the big signing of the day that was rumored for the last couple of weeks seemingly, with … Continue reading
Devils trade Schmid and Holtz to Vegas for Paul Cotter and 2025 3rd rounder

Devils hire Sheldon Keefe as head coach

Devils’ disappointing season draws to a close next week
Sadly the most exciting moment of the season was this nonsense which brought back visions of the 2012 line brawl at the Garden, and one that occurred after I was officially checked out of the season following another disastrous blown … Continue reading
