What does a Devil fan do when his team is off for three days? Ah yes that’s a very good question. Granted I have work today and such…but tomorrow and Tuesday there is an interview with one of my old East Coast hockey buddies…some Center Ice…and some good home cooking. Most importantly my wife is […]

Saturday night the Atlanta Thrashers got beaten by the Floridia Panthers 3-2 for the first time in seven games for the season. DAMMIT! There goes our five game winning streak! However, Marian Hossa, and Keith Tkachuk did score for us and Kari Lehtonen had 36 saves. So, we had a night where a goal slipped […]

Well, another overtime win. Down, two nothing in the third, and then all hell breaks loose. Getting to be a habit isn’t it. A bad habit.With less than fifteen games before the end of the season, the Penguins are having a hard time getting the lead, or holding a lead. This is the kind of […]

So, the question that titles this is then pondered…Is it Time to Worry? Well, to answer it, I will first go […]

Erik Erlendsson got me thinking again this morning, like he always does. The talented Tampa Bay Lightning beat writer for The Tampa Tribune is, in my mind, one of the best hockey writers around.

After another sad showing by the boys in black and white, I finally thought it was time for me to rant. Watching hockey in years past, I was always upset by how the referee’s would call the games and how most hockey people accepted it. Or at least expected it.Clutching, grabbing and interfering were the […]

As the Devils face the Bruins today…it is important to note the importance of this game. Everyone thinks oh this is just the Bruins. Well any team battling for their playoff lives is dangerous. Take a look at Friday nite’s collapse against the Leafs as Exhibit A. If you let up even for a few […]
