This one happened 34 years today.  It is kind of ironic the Devils are a lot more relevant right now (for many wrong reasons) as well.  Here it is and do not forget to tip the Scouts and Rockies?     August 25, 1976 The Colorado Rockies received their NHL franchise, to complete their transfer […]

Many have joked with me that Devils fans are just plain NUTS!  Jokingly, I would not deny that and probably in all seriousness, I still would not deny it.  Then came this evening with Speaking Of The Devils own Carlos Figueiredo, who created five fantasy hockey twitter leagues on ESPN. Here is the crazy link […]

As we are in the middle of a very long process as far as processing rankings and lists, here is today’s Question Of The Day that came off my facebook page this morning. Has Gary Bettman burned the bridge with New Jersey Devils GM Lou Lamoriello? Have a little fun with this ladies and gentlemen […]

We will try to find out more about this but people had been noticing Ballhype was down.  Ballhype was a nice site that oraganized stories and let bloggers interact in groups.  So I figured maybe I would check again this morning, but sadly I was greeted by the following message: Thank you for your interest, […]

An important day today in hockey histroy as there was the “midnight exodus” for a couple Czech players that would help change the history of the NHL.  Here is that moment from 30 years ago today….     August 24, 1980 Peter Stastny, his brother Anton, and Peter’s wife Darina left the national team of […]

Today we give a simple salute and a Happy Birthday to one of my favorite announcers.  This guy does make Florida Panthers games at least tolerable.     August 23, 1963 Former NHL defenseman Randy Moller born in Red Deer, Alberta. Moller played in the league 1981-82 thru 1994-95 with Quebec, the Rangers, Buffalo, and […]

  Hey, look its that Kovalchuk guy but we are not spotlighting him, just a New Jersey Devils blog on Bloguin. My fandom cannot be questioned so it makes sense now to go with the team I call home and a favorite to my heart, the New Jersey Devils.  As I am still getting to […]

The Inside Hockey dynasty league is in its debut season.  The nice part of joining a league so fresh and new is meeting some new fantasy experts and some old ones too.  Now we are hoping the Excel gods are with us this morning as we import this bad boy over from the mother computer.  […]

The Rangers used to recycle old players out of pasture but to think, they actually signed one that was already inducted into the Hall Of Fame.  Yes it did indeed happen and here is the proof.     August 19, 1988 New York Rangers signed 37-year-old Guy Lafleur to a one year contract. Lafleur had […]
