Yay for first place! Yay for Marty shutouts! Good win, friends, good win. It’s always fun to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins. Granted, I’d like to see a game where the Devils don’t lose 26 of their defensemen to injury, but whattaya gonna do? Richard Matvichuk, we need you. Hey, at least we beat Banana Pads [...]

So, the Devils couldn’t pull out a win against the Thrashers last night. No worries, they never win against that team anyways. What does worry me, though, is injuries for Patrik Elias and Colin White. Let’s hope both aren’t serious…because, well, if they are, then that sucks. I mean, who will take the obligatory dumb [...]

I have one word for you, Alex: OWNED. Undoubtedly the play save of the game goes to Brodeur. (…As usual) Much praise to you, Marty, for making AO look like a ham sandwich. The Devils decided to show the happy side of their bi-polar play as they romped the Caps 4-1. The win, paired with an Islanders [...]

Hell yeah. Nothing like a good Ranger spanking to put me back into positive hockey spirits. Tis the season, eh? It’s always refreshing to see the Devils bust a game wide open, seeing as generally fans are treated to grand offensive displays of one or, dare I say, two goal outbursts. But…six goals? Oh yeah. [...]

Ok, I know what you’re thinking. “Nice, Joe, blame the losing streak on the coach, real cool.” Hold on there, Jethro. The losing streak itself is not the work of one Claude Julien, but he sure isn’t helping the cause. His latest brainfarts? 1) THE TIMEOUT vs. BUFFALO » I can’t think of a worse [...]

Joe and I are trying something a bit different tonight…complete in-game ramblings, non-stop. Enjoy! Whoo-boy. Breather. Let’s take a breather. You got this, Scotty. Stay focused. …5 seconds later (literally): Nevermind. Not your night. Is it really too much to ask for the Devils D to actually do something positive? I mean, really? Edit #2: [...]

Silly Devils, did you guys really think you could actually compete with the Buffalo Sabres? Lies! Granted, the Devils really outplayed the Sabres in the first two periods, which of course, I did not get to watch, but for the third…well, our lovely defense decided to take a swing a handling things. Brian Rafalski is [...]

Reports out of Boston indicate that Bruins rookie Phil Kessel has been diagnosed with testicular cancer and will be sidelined for an indefinite period of time. While it is unknown how long Boston will be without their 2006 first-rounder, the Kessel family did issue a statement Monday asking for privacy, also stating “When there is [...]

2 Man Advantage’s Tip of the Day #2: If you’re waived by one of the league’s worst teams not once, but twice in less than one season, you should really highly consider retirement. Yes, Petr Nedved, I am talking to you.

So the Devils placed injured winger Cam Janssen on the long-term injury list this weekend. Still unknown what actually ails Janssen, we are left only to assume his aching shoulder is probably more than a mere dislocation or separation. Me thinks he suffered some structural damage and Louie Lams just doesn’t want to make it [...]
