Lafreniere leads Rangers to an easy win over struggling Devils
If this were a prize fight, the referee would’ve stopped it early. In what amounted to a walk in the park, the Rangers skated to an easy 5-1 win over the struggling Devils before 16,650 at The Prudential Center in … Continue reading

Devils’ roller-coaster season back on the upswing after a big stadium series win over the Flyers
For one memorable night outdoors at least, the magic from the Devils’ 2022-23 season was back. In what was certainly a must-win game for the Devils’ chances to stay in the hunt for a top three finish in the division … Continue reading
All-Star Banter: Rangers observations and more
It’s been a while since the Rangers played a game. There hasn’t been much happening. The extended break included All-Star weekend in Toronto. I didn’t watch it. I guess the way the game is set up doesn’t interest me. I … Continue reading

Devils’ uncertain up-and-down season nears halfway point after spirited win over the Blackhawks

Have the Devils…finally found their stride?
It’s been a while since I did write any form of a recap, for a reason. I just didn’t watch much of the team on the West Coast so I would have felt silly doing recaps of games I just followed … Continue reading
Devils back at a crossroads after devastating loss to the Sharks
Mea culpa…I thought the Islanders game on Tuesday night would be the start of the Devils getting back to being the Devils circa last season’s version. Instead it seems to have only been a pit stop on the way back … Continue reading
