F(ree Agency) This.

Us Devils fans are a naive bunch.
It’s the only period over the course of a seemingly never-ending summer that a hockey fan can get their fix. Free Agency. It’s irresistible to wonder over the possibilities of who could be lacing up their skates in your building come October.

DEVILS MAKE A SIGNING!!!!!!!!!

Today the Devils signed former draft pick Ilkka Pikkarainen.
Exciting, right?
The 28-year-old forward spent the last three seasons in Finland, posting 24 goals and 13 assists for 37 points in 54 games last year. He also racked up 149 penalty minutes.
The 220 pound Pikkarainen should add a physical edge to the Devils roster, ’specially after losing [...]

And another one bites the dust!

Reports out of New York indicate that the New Jersey Devils will take at least two less penalties a game next season.
That’s right, ladies ‘n gents, Bobby Holik is no longer with Black ‘n Red.
After 18 seasons, 11 with the Devils, the 38-year-old bruiser has decided to hang ‘em up.
His reason? He wants to be [...]

This is worse than a hangover.

I sit here in my Windy City apartment, fighting back the urge to kick my vibrating fridge, wondering what the heck happened last night.
We were so close.
How does a team go from glory to undeniable shame and defeat in the span of a minute-thirty? No heart? No drive? No courage?
No killer instinct.
Let’s face it, boys [...]

Dearest Patricia,

While we thank you for returning Patrik Elias safely, your continued lurking has the players concerned.
Zach Parise hasn’t been scoring (today doesn’t really count), Colin White fled the team in fear and Bobby Holik hasn’t been able to make a single Geico promotional appearance in more than a month.
While we promise to leave it all [...]

Hurricanes @ Devils SORTA-CAP!

9:29 PM: Game over.  I can’t believe this, I thought this team was too good this year for the annual March swoon, but…I don’t know.  2-1 Hurricanes.  Good thing I only did a half-assed Cap tonight.  Goodnight.
9:28 PM: 10 seconds left, Devils on the offensive zone faceoff.
9:26 PM: Less than a minute to go and [...]

Thoughts from Section 209…. Devils/Rangers 2/9/2009

Damn kids, that was almost TOO easy wasn’t it??? Don’t get me wrong it was fun, it was great, it was badly needed after the 24 hours leading up to it (you get a 1am call that your pregnant sister is in the hospital… she turned out to be ok at least, was just scary, [...]

Thoughts from Section 209 ….Devils… Penguins… Dec 10!

Well that was fun wasn’t it??? (Feels like I ain’t been to the damn place in MONTHS… and all the staff looked different, and a double boo-hiss on the choice of cigar girls tonight, hey I gotta bitch about something right??)… I could sit and complain on how we go a damn near MONTH [...]

Brian Gionta Goes Splat.

Crikey, it’s getting old. Brian Gionta just got pushed off the puck hard, and it looks like he hit both shoulder and head against the unforgiving Detroit boards. He skated off on his own power, but has yet to return to the game, which currently sits at 2-1 Detroit after two periods, on [...]

Mo-Town, Mo’ Problems.

With the dawn of each new NHL season, I wait very impatiently for the schedule to be released. When it finally is, I plan which games I want to attend, whether or not I’ll take a road trip, and other fun and extremely expensive ordeals. Then there is that game… that one single game [...]
