Game #35: Triumphant Thursday – Devils 5, Bruins 2

Posted on December 28, 2018 by hasan4978

After the holiday break I wouldn’t have minded actually watching a Devils game last night, if only cause it was Mackenzie Blackwood’s second-ever NHL start. Can’t say I was really confident before the game though, especially with the news that … Continue reading →

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 #32: Tankjob Thursday – Blue Jackets 2, Devils 1

Posted on December 20, 2018 by hasan4978

Pretty much the best thing that can be said about tonight’s 2-1 loss in Columbus is just two words – Mackenzie Blackwood. Making his first NHL start tonight, the 2015 second-round pick exceeded expectations in a strong 36-save debut that … 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 #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 #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 #19 – Hurricanes 2, Devils 1

Posted on November 18, 2018 by hasan4978

After yesterday’s hideous loss, part of me didn’t even want to bother with the aggravation I could sense was coming in Carolina today.  We never seem to do well in that building (and also seem to play a disproportionate share … Continue reading →
