Ya know, it really is funny. It seems like the newest fad in the hockey blogosphere is to grab a keyboard and wax poetic about how the Devils just destroy the game, disappoint hockey naturalists, sport lousy attendance, and simply aren’t getting it done anymore. But as we learned last time, it’s [...]

Angry?  Yep.
Embarrassed?  You betcha.
Scared?  Try friggin’ petrified.
Thanks, Devils.  Just thanks.
I’d love to give some sort of insight, but I’ve missed the last few games (night classes – a curse and a blessing, apparently).  I’m kind of happy I didn’t see anything but the last three minutes of tonight’s game.
Scratch that, I’m kind of mad I [...]


I am not happy.

Gosh DARN IT, why can’t we win a damn game all of a sudden?
Man, we’re supposed to be all “hey, my team can kick your team’s ASS!” right now, but nooo — we can’t beat ANYONE.
Gross exaggeration?
Whatever. I’m ANGRY.
We’ve lost, like, nine million in a row and it’s quite clear that the playoffs are a [...]

Clearly, I need not remind you that updates around here have been few and far between this off-season. So given the fact that I am suffering from a writer’s block that could easily be mistaken for the after-effects of a lobotomy, you could imagine how I reacted when I read this.
It was too good [...]


Oh dear.

So despite a decent effort, the Devils fell to the Penguins last night, this time by a score of 2-0. The loss clinches a playoff spot for the Penguins, opens up a four-point gap between the teams in the Atlantic division race, marks the 10th time the Devils have been shut out this season, [...]


An Open Letter to the Devils

If you’ll allow me, I would like to address the skaters of the New Jersey Devils for a moment.  Marty, you can sit this one out, get some rest. Weeksie, you can too. Go buy yourself a new crossword puzzle book or something to keep you busy on game nights.
Alright.
Watching this season’s games, just as [...]

So, um, I’m a little annoyed. Not because the Devils are losing.
Alright, that’s a lie. It is because they’re losing, but more so how they are, and have been, doing it all year long.
See, the Devils have been somewhat of an anomaly this season. If they’re not too busy finding ways to [...]


Brian Gionta is stupid.

Okay, so, uhm, I don’t like Brian Gionta anymore.
Granted, he actually had a relatively decent game for the first time in, oh I don’t know, maybe 12 years, but what the crap was that garbage he pulled in the shootout?
Skates in. Takes a wrister from far out. Right into the pads. Game over. Devils lose.
Well, [...]


Well that sucked.

Another game against a New York team, another loss against a New York team.
This is getting real old, real fast.
Out of twenty possible points against teams from New York, the Devils have attained three. And no, Buffalo doesn’t count – they’re practically Canada.
I don’t know what the deal is, but I’m really sick of [...]
