Devils revert back to form early in Game 4, run out of gas late in a 5-2 loss

Posted on April 28, 2025 by hasan4978

Fifty-two seconds…that’s all it took for all the good vibes of Game 3 and the fans’ energy in the pregame to evaporate. Fifty-two lousy seconds for Carolina to dominate us on the first shift, for Dougie Hamilton to make a … Continue reading →

Two steps forward, one step back for the Devils last week

Posted on March 17, 2025 by hasan4978

I really did mean to do a blog after last Thursday’s win against the Oilers, which ensured the Devils’ first three-game winning streak since December and was a nice bounceback from the rock bottom that was deadline day and a … Continue reading →

Devils finally have a return of good form on Lemaire night

Devils hit a mini crisis point as TV blackout hits local customers over the holiday

Posted on January 2, 2025 by hasan4978
