Poor, poor David Clarkson. And poor us as well. That’s why you stand up and face a Zdeno Chara slapshot head-on rather than wimping out and turning sideways. Of course, I say this behind a laptop, and not on ice staring down the barrel of a 100 MPH slapshot from the guy who broke Al [...]

Today, my friends, is a big day in Devils fandom. Something that hasn’t happened all season is about to happen. Yep, user-generated ZubbieCounters! (What, you were thinking something else?) Oh, and that Elias dude is playing in tonight’s game or something. Let’s get to it: Patrik Elias makes his season debut tonight after missing the [...]

Game night. Devils/Rangers. Let’s see if Marty can, y’know, win a game at the Garden for a change. It’s only been TWO AND A HALF YEARS. 2MA will probably be on radio silence this evening (but you expected that, right? We’re the flakiest bunch of flakes who ever flaked in from flaketown). I’ll miss the [...]

I don’t like the schedule very much this year. I mean really – there’s a two-week Olympic break in February, right? So what happened to the condensed schedule? Why did the Devils have a bunch of days off, then two games in a row, and now a bunch more days off? It’s mighty boring. Especially [...]

The Devils put Cory Murphy on waivers today. I’m sure you’re heartbroken. I’d like to take full credit for this move, as it comes the day after I go public on this very weblog with my formerly private belief that ANDY GREENE = WINS, but I think Murphy himself had something to do with it [...]

In the “Stunning News of the Day” catagory: The Devils have cut veteran Brendan Shanahan. Or Shanny opted not to play. Or something happened that has ended in Shanahan no longer playing with the team. My heart, she is currently breaking. I’m stunned, and all I can really say is this: Pikkachu better be DAMN [...]

Boys and girls, a day I never expected to come with Louie Lams in charge is, in fact, coming. I’m a little surprised that I get to type these words, but here goes: On one day only – March 17th, 2010 – the New Jersey Devils will don their old red, white, and green jerseys [...]

Jacques Lemaire, to the surprise of absolutely no one who follows hockey at all, is the new head coach of the Devils. God help us all. I’m going to give this a month or two before deciding whether it’s a bad move or not, but it doesn’t feel good right now. Lemaire is terribly old-school, [...]

According to the Devils Twitter feed (and other “traditional” sources, I GUESS), the Devils have a “Major Announcement” set for 1:30 PM today. Gee, I wonder what it could possibly be. Actually, instead of wondering, here’s the line on what today’s Major Announcement will be: Jacques Lemaire as Coach: 1.5-to-1 Lou himself as Coach: 2-to-1 [...]

Guess who’s back? Back again? Josh is back! Tell a friend. Ahem. Thank you. I have returned from the dark depths known as summer classes. Y’know, when they stuff four months worth of knowledge and work into your brain over the course of four weeks. Of course, I’m doing it again this month, but I [...]
