Posted on May 1, 2021 by hasan4978

Finally, the long local nightmare is over. The Devils’ losing streak mercifully – and barely – stopped at ten straight games after a wild home win over the Flyers on Tuesday where they blew 3-0 and 4-3 leads. Fortunately, the … Continue reading →

Devils swept by Caps as the regression continues

Posted on February 28, 2021 by hasan4978

There isn’t much good to say about this weekend losing another two games to the Capitals and failing to carry over any momentum from the wild Thursday win over the Sabres. Indeed that win proved to be the only one … Continue reading →

Devils rally to salvage a split with Sabres despite still problematic special teams

Posted on February 26, 2021 by hasan4978

Wedgewood, Devils shut down Islanders

Posted on January 24, 2021 by hasan4978

Going into tonight it’s been a glass half-full and half-empty start for the Devils. Good, obviously to be 2-1-1 and have 19-year old Jack Hughes producing at a franchise center level. Of course, the bad being Mackenzie Blackwood’s absence for … Continue reading →
