First, for the good news…the Devils are still five points up on a playoff spot with a game in hand as we move from 2022 to 2023. And though yesterday’s shootout loss to the Hurricanes wasn’t ideal (especially as it … Continue reading →

Another loss dampens the holiday mood in Newark

Posted on December 24, 2022 by hasan4978

The good news is at least our long six-game losing streak finally ended in Florida with an emotional win against a team still using a fluke injury as an excuse to play thuggish. Derek chronicled the rematch (and Florida shenanigans) … Continue reading →

Devils complete astonishing Western Canada sweep with comeback in Edmonton and OT winner in Calgary
