Devils’ injury situation continues to mount as reality hits against Caps

Posted on October 22, 2021 by hasan4978

Let’s just start with the good news, I’m glad I couldn’t even watch last night’s game, let alone attend what was always going to be a predictable beatdown by the Caps, who’ve owned us the last several years. Sure, we … Continue reading →

Posted on October 5, 2021 by Derek

Posted on July 23, 2021 by hasan4978

Posted on June 30, 2021 by Derek
