Game #33: Fun Friday – Devils 5, Senators 2

Posted on December 22, 2018 by hasan4978

One of the reasons hockey is such an exciting game is that momentum can take just seconds to swing wildly from one bench to the other. Sometimes a single sequence can tell the entire story of a game. Such was … Continue reading →

Game #30 – Shootout Saturday: Predators 2, Devils 1 (SO)

Posted on December 16, 2018 by hasan4978

In baseball there’s a saying that momentum’s only as good as your next day’s starting pitcher.  To a degree that’s true in the NHL as well with goaltending, but hockey also adds the travel element into things.  To wit, the … Continue reading →

Game #30 – Freaky Friday: Devils 5, Golden Knights 4 (OT)

Posted on December 15, 2018 by hasan4978

If ever a game was going to drive me to Lloyd Bridges in Airplane! type mania it would have been tonight’s roller coaster of emotions at the Prudential Center.  No I don’t smoke, drink, sniff glue or do amphetamines, but … Continue reading →

Game #28 – Stupid Sunday: Ducks 6, Devils 5 (SO)

Posted on December 10, 2018 by hasan4978

Just when you think you’d seen it all, a game like yesterday happens where it’s so preposterous you start believing in divine intervention and curses. Yesterday wasn’t just another frustrating loss after regulation (this time in a shootout), dropping the … Continue reading →

Game #25: Sloppy Saturday – Jets 4, Devils 3 (OT)

Posted on December 2, 2018 by hasan4978

After a total unmitigated disaster and tease to end all teases like tonight, where to start? Start from the pregame I suppose, where I was seriously debating not going to this game, but an inability to sell my pair of … Continue reading →

Who’s responsible for the Devils mess?

Posted on December 1, 2018 by Derek

They gave it the old college try late. But a desperate Devils rally fell short against the Capitals tonight. Instead, goals from Nico Hischier and ex-Cap Marcus Johansson weren’t enough to prevent a pair of empty netters from Alexander Ovechkin … Continue reading →

Game #24: Capital punishment – Caps 6, Devils 3

Posted on November 30, 2018 by hasan4978

Perhaps the best way to describe tonight’s game is frustrating, yet typical of the 2018-19 Devils so far.  I was just as in and out of the game as the team was, my attempt to take a pregame nap to … Continue reading →

Game #21 – Black Friday: Islanders 4, Devils 3 (OT)

Posted on November 23, 2018 by hasan4978

Sometimes it’s hard to title a recap and it only adds one more pratfall to writer’s block, that’s why I hadn’t been doing it this year.  Days like today, the title writes itself though.  Of course while most of the … Continue reading →

Game #20 – Devils 5, Canadiens 2

Posted on November 22, 2018 by hasan4978

Through the season’s first quarter there’s been very little to be thankful for as a Devils fan, at least in terms of overall results.  A 4-0 start got buried with just four wins in their next fifteen games before last … Continue reading →

Game #18 – Red Wings 3, Devils 2 (OT)

Posted on November 17, 2018 by hasan4978

Another weekend, another matinee Devils game.  So far the team’s played five times in seven weeks on either a Saturday or a Sunday afternoon.  My feelings on matinees as a season ticket holder are mixed.  So long as it’s 1 … Continue reading →
