Life happens.

Dear 2MA readers,
Yes, there was supposed to be a live-cap of tonight’s Devils game done by yours truly, but unfortunately, a personal crisis prevented me from being able to let my magical fingers shine for you good folk.
Sidebar: I don’t like the term “personal crisis.” It makes it sound like I’m having some sort of [...]

Oh, there’s an All-Star game this weekend?

I didn’t know.
Okay, that’s a lie. I did know. I just conveniently decided to ignore it.
Does anyone watch the festivities? I don’t. In fact, I haven’t in years. Nothing against it or anything, I’m just not into all the flashy displays of cherry picking and, uh, non-existent defensive play.
I am a Devils fan, you know. [...]

Correction!

While it pains me to admit it, I am, in fact, human.
I would like to correct an error I reported at the conclusion of last night’s live-cap.  I closed by talking about how the Devils will continue to hold their first place spot in the Atlantic via the wins tie-breaker.  Well, that’s what I get [...]

MONTREAL @ NEW JERSEY LIVE-CAP!

9:42PM ET: BREAKING NEWS: How’s this for a cosmic alignment? Despite spontaneously combusting on a night when all five Atlantic Division teams were in action, the Devils will keep their first place spot in the Atlantic Division going into the All-Star break. The Islanders fell 4-1 to Boston, the Rangers, well, don’t [...]

Canadiens? Pshh. (OK, I’m Scared.)

One last game before the break, folks. If the Devils were planning on entering the break with a win under their belts, I bet they were pretty stoked when they realized Montreal would be the opponent.
Thanks in large part to Martin Brodeur, the Devils have completely dominated the Montreal Canadiens over the last decade [...]

Clarkson’s a Young Star!

Now, we all know that David Clarkson is a young star, in that he’s young, and that we like him quite a bit ’round these parts.
Well, apparently the NHL was paying attention – or felt bad that the Devils won’t have any representatives in Atlanta this weekend, what with Marty Brodeur and Brent Sutter both [...]

NEW JERSEY @ PHILADELPHIA LIVECAP!

9:40 PM ET: Aaaaand that’ll be the end of it! Devils win, 7-3! Oduya with a goal and THREE assists, Parise and Elias with two goals a pop (Elias also tallied an assist), and Zajac with three assists. A great game all around, I’d say. That’ll wrap it up for us tonight! Goodnight!
9:38 PM ET: [...]

Brodeur to skip All-Star Game

Y’know how folks are always clamoring that Marty Brodeur needs to play fewer games?
Well, here’s at least one game he’s going to skip: It was announced today that Bruins goalie Tim Thomas would be taking Brodeur’s slot on the All-Star team for the Eastern Conference.
Now I know what you’re thinking, and it’s something along the [...]

Shakedown For First Place

Flyers tonight. In Philly. Rough game.
Why am I speaking in such short sentences? Well, I’m worried. The Devs have had success against the Broadstreet Bullies (obviously, we can start using that one again…) this season, but the Atlantic Division has resorted to the scare tactic and taught us that every single point [...]

On a personal note…

Today’s Mr. Bechtel’s day of birth ladies and gents! Wish him a happy birthday, will ya? He ain’t gettin’ any younger, ya know!
