Continuing with the craps-inspired titles for Devils games recaps, tonight’s winner was the 9th goal in a 5-4 slide by the Penguins. This game was an eleven on the weird scale: Double minors that cancelled out. A 2-on-0 goal waved off because there were approximately 17 players on the ice [...]

Shaun White, Jersey Tomato
Shaun White, the Flying Tomato, rocks. Even in LAX, late at night, when he has better things to do like listen to some tunes and relax. He’s working, like the rest of us, yet he was talking, high-fiving, low-fiving, signing autographs, and generally being a Tomato worthy of a Jersey appellation. [...]
Comic King of Jersey
I’ve blogged at various times about Diesel Sweeties, including characters and panels from the egregiously funny mind of R. Stevens to illustrate a point. Now I’m forced to admit the truth: I love comics. While I’m a huge fan of animation in all forms (from Pixar films to Disney classics to the stop-motion [...]
Flying Tomato Flying Out
Here’s the closest I’ll ever come to snowboarding: I saw Shaun White in the airport last night. He was deep in conversation with someone sitting nearby, high-fiving kids as they went by, signing autographs (for people, me included, who recognized him) and generally being the kind of person you’d envision holding up as [...]
DRM in Hollywood, with a shout out to Dr. Demento
Greetings from Hollywood, California, home of the silver screen, recording studios, Doctor Demento, and earthquakes. I’m speaking on a DRM panel hosted by the media business law firm Foley and Lardner. I’m one of three technology folks in the room, and I’m going to talk about avoiding legal and technical [...]
Winner, Eleven
Winner, eleven — that is, on the eleventh goal of last night’s Devils-Thrashers game (11 goals? In a Devils game?? Hello, Coach Sutter!). I was hoarse from yelling at the television and radio broadcasts but all’s well that ends well. In this case, there was ample material [...]
Stomping On The Devils Grass Roots Support
I’m now officially worried that the Devils organization is proceeding with complete and total oblivion to the fan base, or at least to how the fan base communicates, collaborates and exchanges ideas in the world of user-generated content and media. We’re not all sitting here waiting for the official line on ticket [...]
Company In The Cellar
The game’s not over yet, but it looks like the Devils will end up tied for the worst record in the NHL after tonight’s fiasco in Florida. There are probably a dozen little things wrong, but in the overall scheme of “new Devils hockey,” there are three obvious abominations:
Defensive positioning. Guys [...]
Missed, er, October
Almost precisely 3 months ago I posited that Scott Gomez and Alex Rodriguez were increasingly alike.
Let me add to the list: neither one has shown up for big games in October. At least Gomez recorded three shots tonight (plus one miss, and one blocked, is it me or are the new NHL statistics [...]
Lonely In The Slot
Vinny Lecavalier was quite lonely in the low slot, waiting for a pass from Prospal that turned into tonight’s game-winning goal. Listening to the game on XM radio (sometimes rental cars aren’t thoroughly horrible) I could only get the Lightning version of events, but it didn’t sound so great for the Devils. [...]
