Devils once again streaking after a 5-3 win in 2022-23’s first Battle of the Hudson

Are the Devils in crisis mode after one game?

I decided against recapping last night’s dud of a season opener, in part because I didn’t feel like a rant after the first game of the season when there’s still an element of anticipation for the home opener tomorrow, and … Continue reading

As the calendar turns to October, a mid-preseason Devils preview

Devils’ 2021-22 season crawls toward an official closing next week
