DEVILS LOSE LUKOWICH

Brad Lukowich is the latest Devil to leave New Jersey.
2MA’s favorite player has bolted (get it?) back to the Tampa Bay Lightning, signing a three-year contract.
I, for one am very disappointed.
Three Devils gone now. One not very surprising, one more or less surprising, and one outright disappointing in the eyes of this here fan.
You fill [...]

DEVILS SIGN KAREL RACHUNEK

Louie Lams attempted to make a splash in the Free Agency market today.
Well, maybe more of pitter-patter.
In a signing that hopefully will not be the replacement of Brian Rafalski, Mr. Lamoriello signed blueliner Karel Rachunek away from the New York Rangers, giving the Czech d-man a $1.5-million, one-year deal.
In 66 games with the Rangers last [...]

Free Agent Stuffs

RUPP GIVEN ANOTHER GO
Scratch one UFA off the list — Mr. Rupp has re-signed with the New Jersey Devils.
The ‘03 Cup-clinching goal scorer re-upped with the boys for a two-year, $1-million contract. Not bad.
I’m thinking Erik Rasmussen’s days with the Devils are all but over at this point.
Would you agree?

LOU AIN’T GOT A COACH YET
Yeah, [...]

Johnny O-Don’t chya

It appears that the reign of Johnny Oduya in New Jersey has come to an end.
Reports are indicating that the Swede with the silly last name was not tendered a qualifying offer, thus letting him loose to test the free agent waters July 1st.
Wow.
I’m certainly surprised.
Granted, I wanted nothing to do with Oduya during the [...]

Back to biz’ness: Offseason Questions!

So, we’re sadly faced with the way-too-long summer ahead of us, and with long summers come lots of questions — come on, you weren’t expecting any different with the New Jersey Devils, were you?
QUESTION #1: Who the heck is going to be the next head coach?
Ah, probably one of the biggest mysteries surrounding the boys. [...]

2MA vs. Sens Army: Part 1

Oh, we don’t have a problem whatsoever with Sens Army, they just happen to be rooting for the wrong team. Oh, snap!
I kid, I really do. We love all of the hockey blogs out there, and it really is great to see what the opposition’s fans have to say. During the playoffs, we’ve been sifting [...]

Live-capping Game 4

10:09 PM ET: Oh my goodness. Scott Gomez won the game for the Devils. I’m in awe right now. Series tied 2-2.
10:06 PM ET: SERGEI MOTHERFRIGGEN BRYLIN YOU WERE WIDE-FRIGGEN-OPEN IN FRONT OF THE NET WITH NOT A SINGLE SOUL AROUND YOU AND YOU SHOT IT WIDE???? COME ON!!
10:04 PM ET: Pardon the lack of [...]

GAME TWO BREAKDOWN (oh no!)

As we did with Game 1, it’s time for 2 Man Advantage’s Playoff Breakdown: The Awesome, the Not So Awesome, and the Downright Ridiculous
THE AWESOME: Johan Holmqvist.
Like I had mentioned in the last breakdown, I really thought Holmer would rebound in Game 2 and put together a sparkling performance. And, hey, guess what happened? Johan [...]

Super-Powers Collide!

Alright, alright.  I wouldn’t exactly call the Devils a ’super-power’ but technically tonight’s game features the fight for 1st place.  Regardless of the outcome, the Rams Sabres will still hold the top seed in the East, but if New Jersey has anything to say about it, it will be by a mere single point.
Now, personally, [...]

Simon sits in the corner indefinitely

Chris Simon has been given Time Out indefinitely by the NHL, as the league now must figure out what to do with Dumbass Simon after his lumberjack swing at Ryan Hollweg’s (baseball) head.
Better yet, Dumbass doesn’t get any pay in the meantime. Guess he’ll have to shave his own head for the time being…
So, another [...]
