It’s Time… For Playoff Picks
By Dave Turner Unfortunately, as Devils fans, we don’t get to watch our team in the postseason this year, but, I know I will still be glued to my TV for as many games as possible. My preseason picks to go to the Stanley Cup Final were the Pittsburgh Penguins and the St. Louis Blues. [...]

It’s Time… For Playoff Picks
By Dave Turner Unfortunately, as Devils fans, we don’t get to watch our team in the postseason this year, but, I know I will still be glued to my TV for as many games as possible. My preseason picks to go to the Stanley Cup Final were the Pittsburgh Penguins and the St. Louis Blues. [...]
And The Lights Go Out On The 2013 Season…
By Dave Turner This was an NHL season that almost never was. For the Devils, they might like to forget that it ever happened. When the NHL lockout stretched into the new year, it seemed like we may be on the verge of losing the entire season. Luckily, they were able to strike a deal [...]
4/21 Pregame Primer: Devils at Rangers
By Dave Turner and Jeff O’Connor Jeff: Alright Dave…it’s quite simple. If the New Jersey Devils win today against the New York Rangers, they stay in the race. If they lose, they’re out. Before we get into the matchup of the game, you couldn’t ask for the Devils to come in any hotter considering how [...]
Winter “Classic”… I Think Not
I’ll preface this by saying that I have wanted a Devils outdoor game since before the first Winter Classic was even played. But this “Classic” has the stink of the NHL all over it. Sure, it’s a great thing that reports are indicating that the Devils will square off against the Rangers on January 26th, [...]

Why It’s OK For The Devils To Miss The Playoffs
By Jeff O’Connor My colleague Dave mentioned yesterday about fans being realists. And the realist thought is that the New Jersey Devils may very likely miss the playoffs. We’re not rooting for this team to miss the playoffs. But you know what…it’s not that bad a thing if they miss out this year. Does anyone [...]
Whats Up With Devils Fans In The Wake Of This Recent Slide?
By Dave Turner I’ll start off by saying that the first thing I tell anyone who isn’t a Devils fan, or anyone who likes hockey in general is that I am so proud of being a Devils fan because of the quality of the fans. We’re a small group, but we’re knowledgeable, friendly and support [...]
Tail Of The Tape: Sullivan’s Story A Good One
By Ryan Jahnke Maybe it’s because I’m the senior member of this staff, but I’m really happy to see Steve Sullivan back with the Red and Black. I can’t say I’m surprised that he’s back, after all bringing back ex-players is Page 1 out of the Lou Lamoriello playbook. I call it the “Devil You [...]
State Of The Devils: Time Is Running Out
By Jeff O’Connor Listen, the New Jersey Devils did everything right in last night’s game against the Boston Bruins except score a goal. It’s certainly a game to build off, but right now they need points more than anything. Martin Brodeur said last night, ”at the end of the day, I wish we could have played [...]
Why The Steve Sullivan Trade Makes Sense
By Jeff O’Connor As we predicted about a week ago, the New Jersey Devils traded for Steve Sullivan of the Phoenix Coyotes on Wednesday in exchange for a 7th-round draft pick in 2014. There is no reason to hate this trade. In fact, there is only uspide to it. Even if for some reason, you [...]
Why the Devils Should Be Sellers On Wednesday
By Dave Turner Though it’s a hard concept to wrestle with, because the Devils have been a perennial playoff team for the last two decades, but after their latest slide, I believe it is time for the Devils to do something different; sell at the trade deadline. At this point they’re only two points ahead [...]

BREAKING: Patrik Elias Traded to Sharks
In a stunning move, long time Devil Patrik Elias has been traded to the San Jose Sharks in return for a first round pick in the 2013 draft, and a 3rd and 5th rounder in the 2014 draft. The move gives the Devils more cap room and the ability to perhaps pursue a big name [...]
Thoughts From The Tampa Bay Disaster
After last night’s shootout loss, Dave and Jeff take a look at where this leaves the team. Jeff O’Connor I’m honestly not all that worried. The positives…this team put up four goals in regulation without Ilya Kovalchuk. That alone is a feat in itself. They built up a pair of two-goal leads during the course [...]
Affordable Trade Deadline Targets For The New Jersey Devils
By Jeff O’Connor Most every year at the trade deadline, Devils GM Lou Lamoriello goes after depth pieces as opposed to the stud scorer or big-time assist guy. He likes to add some grit, hustle and something to prove. I think he will do that again this year. Here’s a few guys I think fit [...]
