See Ya, Niclas.

Niclas Havelid, we hardly knew ya.  This may not be a bad thing. As reported by Mr. Gulitti over on Fire & Ice, Havelid has signed on to play with Linkoping of the Swedish Elite League.  So basically, we traded away Anssi Salmela for a couple of weeks of a meh defenseman and a low-level [...]

Captain-brunner out at least two games

Contrary to reports, the sky is not falling. It is true, however, that Jamie Langenbrunner will miss at least the next two games with what the team is calling a “lower body injury.” Ah, in Lou speak, that means Captain-brunner has suffered the unthinkable — decapitation. Sorry Jamie. Well now, this kind of sucks a [...]

Your first round playoff schedule

So the Devils officially have a first round date with Cam Ward and the Carolina Hurricanes.  I’m not sure how I feel about this, ask me again in two weeks. Here’s the first-round schedule.  Note the wonky 7:30 PM start times.  I approve, unless a game were to turn into a multi-overtime crazyfest on a [...]

This will probably make your brain hurt.

So here we sit, on the brink of the 2009 playoffs.  Y’know,  the playoffs the Devils had no business being in after the events of November 1st, 2008 – the awkward-looking elbow injury heard ’round the world. With one more game left in the regular season, the Devils are locked into the number three seed, [...]

And this is why Scott Clemmensen is better than you

He may be floating around in obscurity somewhere in Massachusetts today, but without Scott Clemmensen, it’s safe to say the New Jersey Devils may not be where they are today…which is, like, the best team in the history of ALL SPORTS. Oh, too far? Sorry. Alas, 2MA would like to extend its most sincere congratulations [...]

TRADE!

I kind of had a feeling something might happen today, rather than Trade Deadline Wednesday.  And it has. The Devils have picked up Niclas Havelid from the Thrashers.  On the way to Hotlanta, Mr. Anssi Salmela.  We hardly knew ya’, Salmela. So, who is Niclas Havelid?  Well, he’s Swedish, 35 years of age, with two [...]

Brookbank Mountain moves west

Late breaking news via TG of Fire & Ice – the Sheldon Brookbank era is officially over.  Bad-Ass Brookbank, no longer here to serve: The Devils dealt the oft-scratched Brookbank to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for the rights to center David McIntyre, a former Dallas draft pick who’s currently playing at Colgate University. McIntyre [...]

Life is good.

So here we sit, the NHL All Star Game coming up in less than 48 hours, the first half of the season complete (okay, a little more than half, but this is convienant, so bear with me, eh?).  As I’m sure you’ve figured out by now, the Devils hit the break at the top of [...]

Shanahan’s a Devil again!

TSN is reporting that Brendan Shanahan is set to start skating in New Jersey today, in anticipation of signing a contract with the team in the coming days. I think I speak for most Devils fans when I say…huh? I’m conflicted at best, personally.  I can only assume he’ll get a one-year deal, so it [...]

Injury bugs are the worst kinda bugs…

So, there is a silver lining in the Marty injury saga. It’s a very very small silver lining, barely registering on whatever one uses to measure silver linings. But it’s there, and I’ve found it. The very very small silver lining to Marty’s injury is thus: We can use the Weekeser Beam picture again! Okay, [...]
