Once again Princeton University graduate Darroll Powe put one past Marty, and that’s what it took to unravel a pair of winning streaks. Powe scored on opening night as well, seemingly deflating the Devils out of the gate. Tonight’s goal wasn’t the turning point (it was Van Riemsdyk’s goal that Marty didn’t see [...]

All-Star Break
Call me quelle stupide but the Devils just embarassed l’habitant du but: Price wasn’t the guardian of the net tonight, he was a regular resident inside the twine. If I still lived in Boston, I’d already be relishing the morning headlines forming puns on the Canadiens nom du plume: Hab A Nice Break. [...]
Six Things In Six Games
Six game road trip, big change in perspective. Lots can happen in a hockey work week:
1. Riding atop the Atlantic Division is such a sweet thing. I’m looking at the Hockey News’ 08-09 conference predictions with the entire division minus the Islanders ahead of the Devils. Predictions are made to [...]
Size Up The Middle
I got to catch about half of last nights Rangers-Devils pre-season game; even given modern technology I had to put the game on DVR and get to synagogue live. I missed Weekes getting hurt, and the first two Rangers goals, but what I saw after that gave me hope and a bit of [...]
Zach Parise Highlight Video
We stopped by the last regular season practice at South Mountain Arena, before Lou closes up the practice sessions to the public and preps the Devils with secrecy typically shrouding the NSA’s budget. We caught this video of Zach Parise signing an autograph on my son’s (new) favorite hockey hat, doing a [...]
Hale-ing a Ride to Calgary
Bye, David Hale.
I’m bummed to see him go. He was a large, stay at home defenseman, not a playmaker or a points-scorer but the kind of guy who could muscle a Crosby or Ovechkin out of the slot when needed. Rumors of his imminent trade have been swirling since his sustained [...]
Top Ten Hockey Books
I love books. I buy many more than I read, and lately I’ve been buying out of print or gently used editions from amazon.com to add to my collection. Typically the used tomes fill in from days when spending $15 on a book would have put a serious dent in my spending [...]
Lucky Is As Lucky Does
Two and a half hours to puck drop. An hour until we leave for the great swamp. I’m pulling out all of the stops, all of the swag, everything I can think of, do, or conjure up to send luck to the boys in red and black tonight. [...]
Picture Perfect Ending
What an end to the Devils’ regular season. After being 19 points behind the Rangers, they win the Atlantic Division title in the last game of the year, in the 3rd period, coming back from a 3-goal deficit. The Rangers lost, the Flyers didn’t matter, and the Devils are given [...]
Saturday Skate Around
Nice day for Devils hockey fans.
Our little Devils wound up their season with a 6-1 win, with six different players putting the puck in the net. What they worked on all year — passing, skating, controlling the flow, taking away passing lanes, clearing rebounds — all came together. Great way to enter [...]
