Posted on March 1, 2022 by Derek

The Devils are scoring goals at a high clip. Jack Hughes is front and center during a hot stretch that’s seen them score seven times in three times over the last seven games. The @NJDevils have six goals against Quinn … Continue reading →

Another low point in a decade of them

Posted on February 1, 2022 by hasan4978

A few hours before actual Groundhog Day, I feel like the Bill Murray character in the movie watching this Devils team, or barely listening to the latest disgrace for this franchise, falling behind 5-0 to the Leafs at home in … Continue reading →

Hockey’s back…if you want it

Posted on January 20, 2022 by hasan4978

To a degree today’s Devils game felt like Opening Day II, given the fact we only had one game in the previous ten days due to what’s hopefully the tail end of our COVID outbreak, and Canada building postponements. Plus … Continue reading →

Devils’ winning streak ends amid more bad news

Posted on January 5, 2022 by hasan4978

Despite the Devils’ three-game winning streak before last night’s tilt in Boston, I wasn’t getting all nuts about what it meant for our playoff chances (playoffs…playoffs?!) even though in theory a matchup against the current second wild card in Boston … Continue reading →

Posted on December 21, 2021 by hasan4978

It’s Groundhog Day in Newark…again

Posted on December 15, 2021 by hasan4978

Even more so than my Wargames clip, the more fitting symbol of what the Devils franchise has become is the Bill Murray movie Groundhog Day, where his character re-lives the same day over and over and over again. Only instead … Continue reading →

Devils’ lost home week only increases the angst of fans

Posted on December 11, 2021 by hasan4978

I can’t even figure out where to begin with this blog. There’s so much I want to say about this franchise, and yet I have so little interest in saying it at this point. It’s sort of a dual personality … Continue reading →

Devils’ Tuesday was more productive off-ice than on it

Posted on December 1, 2021 by hasan4978

For one day and one day only it feels irrelevant that the Devils put up another stinker at home, this time losing 5-2 to the Sharks in a game where they were down four after two periods and despite a … Continue reading →

Devils thump Islanders 4-0 for third straight win

Posted on November 12, 2021 by hasan4978

Maybe, just maybe this is a new day in Newark after all. If you could dismiss the Devils’ 7-3 win against the Panthers on Tuesday as an inevitable road letdown from a team off to a hot start that just … Continue reading →

Devils call up Holtz after costly trip to Anaheim

Posted on November 4, 2021 by hasan4978

Might as well post this YouTube of Alexander Holtz’s two-goal night in Utica that the Devils put up on their channel last night (foreshadowing his callup today) instead of anything from Tuesday’s fiasco of a game. Pretty much the less … Continue reading →
