This summer sucked.
First, the Devils lose early in the playoffs. No need to go over that again.
Then, they sign like, no one (Pikkachu notwithstanding).
Then, our site goes all broken.
But now my friends, the air is crisp, the skies are cloudy and heavy, the leaves and acorns are crunchy under my feet, the hoodies and hockey jerseys are out of the closet – kids, it’s hockey season again. And 2MA is back.
Be sure to do a few things before we start: Check out the post below, where Scott discusses the final pre-season game in the way only Scott Mackie can. Then, go add us of Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/twomanadvantage). That way if our site ever decides to disappear again, you’ll know about it there. Thirdly, go add us on Twitter, too (@2MAblog). It’s mostly me twittering…tweeting…twitting…whatever, but I’ve grown heartily addicted to it.
Next order of business: If you’re not seeing it already, you will shortly be seeing a BRAND NEW layout to our site, to bring it more in line with the other NY SportsDay sites. I’m not gonna lie, I don’t know the new layout all that well yet, so if you see anything buggy, let us know. If you’re confused or threatened by change, give it a little while and see what you think.
With a new layout comes a new logo, designed again by the amazing Dustin Todd. Those of you on the Facebook have already seen it, and it looks way more hardcore than our old logo. I approve.
The Zubbies (previously known as the ZubbieCounterContest Zubmission awards) will be coming, hopefully Friday, but failing that, as soon as I can afterwards. It’s been a rough month for me, between school and two jobs, but it’s easing up a bit, and I’ll get something up for y’all soon enough.
I don’t think we’re going to bother with a big season preview like we have in years past. Let’s face it, if we try to look too far down the line at this season, or consider where we stand compared to other teams – there’s a good chance we could cry. And no one wants that. I’m willing to ride the wave of this season without thinking about what’s ahead if you’re willing to do the same.
Here’s to a wonderful, crazy 2009-2010 journey!

As a Met fan, I am geared up and prepared for anything bad that may happen this season. For example, If Parise got injured by tripping down the stairs, I would not be in shock. If Marty got injured by God, I still wouldnt be in shock. To conclude, if the Devils were to lose a playoof game with .2 seconds left when their is goalie interference,I will just say, “Well atleast the Mets are going to play great tis year, I mean the chances of them choking three consecutive times sounds impossible. If we dont choke, than I will be happy. What could go wrong. Woops!

As a fellow Mets fan…possibly one of the best comments we’ve ever seen here.
I’m gonna go cry in my beer again now.

Glad you all are back, I was getting tired of checking the site and seeing nothing new with everything written by ‘Uncategorized’ lol.

Yeah, that was pretty interesting, hah. Glad to be back, I just hope we can manage some posts beyond Scott’s rants. Not gonna lie: My life is going to suck this season.

My 1st post here. I have enjoyed your site after doscovering, I guess, 2 seasons ago. I agree with your post…I don’t need a season preview. With a new team here & rookies on board, I’m prepared to ride this wave/season and see where it takes us. After last years loss & the new additions this year, I’m hoping for an exciting year. Lets Go Devils.
