A world class blog for Jersey's team: the New Jersey Devils
A little bit of this would have gone a long way a couple of weeks ago. Seriously, where was this kind of effort against Calgary and Detroit? Or, for that matter, Washington last Friday?

At Timo Meier’s best, he’s a barreling power forward who can run over people in his pursuit of the puck and the net. He fires one-timers, creates rebound after rebound, and is a 30-goal threat. At Timo Meier’s worst, he is a drifter. There does not seem to be a strong point to his game […]
Much ink has been spilt this year over the Devils’ inability to play in a cohesive two-way system. Even more words have been written on how Tom Fitzgerald is not the man for the general manager position. But the more I watch the New Jersey Devils, the more I think that they could save themselves […]

If only it were always this easy. The New Jersey Devils defeated the New York Rangers tonight by a score of 6-3.

Earlier this season, I talked about the problem that the NHL has when it comes to keeping players healthy. You can go back and re-read that article if you wish, but to summarize my point in a few sentences, it’s not a good thing for the product on the ice or the NHL in general […]

It’s nights like these that make you wonder, what could have been.
