Not Will Ferrell in “Old School” but the Devils in Old Town Boston. A few miscues in the Sabres game resulted in quick goals, and then what I can only describe as random penalties (by the blueliners) cost them power play goals in Boston.
Elias continues on his little points streak, now ending up [...]

Streaking The Wrong Way
Practice Makes Perfect Endings
I ended up with a free half hour yesterday, thanks to an unusually quick doctor’s appointment. Seizing upon the good fortune, and the proximity to South Mountain Arena, I popped into the last half hour of the Devils practice. Watched the first power play unit work out a bit, and saw lots [...]
Elias In Front
Elias is now the Devils’ leading scorer with 24 points. Ten of them have come in the last six games, eight of them in the five games that filled the first third of this month. Should he continue this torrid pace, he’s on track for a career high in [...]
Hat Trick Of Small Wins
The Gordie Howe hat trick is a goal, assist and a fight. Our little hockey family hat trick has turned into all three of our teams — the big Devils, the youth Devils, and the HNA Ice Dragons winning in the same weekend. Finally happened in the 24 hours between Saturday and [...]

On Your Permanent Record
Everything you do in the world of bits becomes part of your permanent record. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it does make you think about what you say and do in email, video, and digital pictures. If someone (including you) is making a digital record, it’s a permanent record. The [...]
Turn The Page
Just turned the monthly page in my official Devils 06-07 calendar. The first half of November had my scraggly “W”s on game days, and everything from Thanksgiving break on looked downright L-bonian.
But it’s December. Holiday season. Snow, ice and cold weather. Dozens of new skaters at South Mountain Arena [...]
