Yes I am a passionate Devils fan writing this…so think of the agony I am already experiencing. I have noticed ever since the Devils sweep of the Rangers in the 2006 playoffs, Tom Renney has slid deeper and deeper into the abyss known as the neutral zone trap. Think I’m kidding? The numbers this year […]

Tonight features eleven games…all with divisional implications. It will be a night where the rivals will have some bad blood boil over I am sure. Also highlighted will be the Atlantic Division Game Of The Week between the New Jersey Devils and the New York Rangers. Other big games include the Panthers and Canes after […]

I’ve been hearing this current Flyers roster being called the Broad Street Bullies a lot lately, and quite frankly to me, it’s as confusing as listening to Niklas Backstrom in a shootout attempt against Niklas Backstrom on the radio. I would like to see a reporter look a Dave Schultz or Bobby Clarke in the […]

Now back from San Diego….it will take a couple days to get back into full hockey mode. Things were so relaxing down there and it was great just to be able to just spend time with the wife, tour around the town, and eat at nice restaurants. Only one little minor mishap with the smoke […]

Some people just don’t know when to quit. Athletes are extremely good at staying in the game too long. Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, Franco Harris, Joe Montana, and many others tried to continue to do what they did very well, sometimes years after their skill diminished. Others tried to move in different directions within the […]

If you knew that in your business or personal life, if you changed one aspect of something you do or have, and it changed five or six problems, wouldn’t you do it? The NHL missed the boat again a few years ago to solve a lot of the things they have been nit picking at […]

So yes it is time to once again head for a vacation…a short one for a few days. The wife and I are headed back to San Diego for a little rest and relaxation so that is why The Cooler is a day early. Well apparently one of the super ultra hot topics in The […]

Just some little things from ye ole director here…..as everyone pretty much knows the Devils open up The Rock tonight against the Ottawa Senators. I want as many as humanly possible to come check out the Devils GDT. Who knows who will pop in tonight and I’ll have my homer moment now and prominently say…. […]

Tomorrow is finally the day I and many Devils fans have been waiting years for…our own spanking new arena. The NHL Arena’s very own Blueyedevil will be attending the game. I am sure she will have some very nice pictures of the new place and all the little things that a fan will catch onto…likes […]

Vs. In the first of eight grueling matchups expected to take place this season…the Devils complete their nine game road trip in Madison Square Garden as they face the Rangers tonight. No pictures need apply just memories in my mind. Each fan on both sides can pick them out and what is the worst for […]

Once upon a time, there was an NHL franchise awarded to a southern city in the United States. This city was very famous for it’s country music heritage. Many people thought that a hockey team would have trouble surviving in this atmosphere, where Minnie Pearle and Buck Owens centered on the main stage. Could a […]

Money. The root of all evil. The world revolves around it. Can’t live without it. Hard to live with a lot of it. Lottery winners, millions all at once, broke in two to three years. And what about sports teams? The “haves” spend a lot to get the best players; the “have-nots” struggle to get […]

I wanted to heartily congratulate Derek from Hitting Back and The Battle Of New York on winning this week’s Blog Of The Week. So here’s a cider to one of the best bloggers I know and here is this week’s winning entry. Sorting Out The Rangers Enjoy it everyone and show Derek some love. Just […]

The forwards have been picked through…and now we are at the end of the line…so to speak…..if there is one defenseman and one goalie you have to have outside any fantasy Top 10…who would they be? People always say there is a surprise or three….well how about two. I took a deep look at defensemen […]

Sometimes hockey takes a back seat….may the humidity come up a little sooner than what they are saying and the winds calm down a bit…so the firefighers can get some ice cold water down and put the fires out in Southern California. Just Northeast of San Diego…and all over parts of the Socal area including […]
