Records are meant to be broken. It’s a saying that feels as old as time itself. Sunday night the Devils hosted the Predators for a game that both teams desperately needed as the push for the playoffs continues. And while the Devils’ playoff odds have been almost entirely extinguished, there is

I was given a small stipend to check out this app. Folks can now use it in New Jersey, and I will include a link if you’re interested. In the meantime, here was my experience. Use it on your phone. There were too many steps on the computer. With the

The Mets are 0-5, that’s the worst start since 2005. But then those Mets won six in a row. These Mets won’t do that. They don’t have Tom Glavine or Pedro Martinez. That’s part of the problem here. They have a rookie manager in Carlos Mendoza and a new GM.

There’s nothing more important than family. Many have expressed this sentiment and it’s true; nothing in the world is more important than family. The great game of hockey has seen its fair share of familial ties throughout its history. In fact, some of the NHL’s most decorated players shared surnames like

Eight! That’s it. Just eight! What’s eight you might ask? It’s the number of teams to win the Presidents’ Trophy AND The Stanley Cup in the same season. Eight out of 37. That’s approximately 22%. (21.6% if you want to be more precise). While those aren’t miniscule odds, they’re certainly not

This offseason might be the last for Joe Douglas. When the Jets signed Mike Williams I had no idea that he wasn’t going to be ready from his ACL tear by training camp. Now, Robert Saleh is saying it’s a lot like Breece Hall’s recovery. Hold on, at 29, this

A Different Goaltender

It’s all about goaltending. It’s such a simple, yet novel idea. Then again, maybe it isn’t. It’s a small sample size, but the Devils have had the look of a different team ever since Jake Allen was acquired at the Trade Deadline. Or, at least, they usually look like a different

Lessons To Be Learned in Devils Win

There’s always a lesson to be learned. Sometimes, you just have to look for it. Tuesday night at Prudential Center, the Devils hosted the Penguins in a game that didn’t appear to have many lessons on the surface. But if you dig a bit deeper, you’ll find that both teams can

The Hockey Hall of Fame. It’s a grand building in Toronto and a true home of hockey’s history. Not only does it house interesting artifacts and put many items on display, but it also honors those whose careers have left an indelible mark on the game. Those careers have belonged to
