Ok, last week was one heck of a roller coaster ride. Hands up if you had the Coyotes moving to Salt Lake City AND soon-to-be former Owner Alex Meruelo retaining the rights to the team’s brand, trademarks, and logos on your bingo card. Put your hands down. Nobody had both parts

Don Granato is no longer the coach of the Buffalo Sabres. Craig Berube is the big-name coach out on the market but my belief is the Sabres need to dig deeper. By digging deeper I mean they need a coach with a deep connection with some of their players. That

To borrow a phrase from Shakespeare, “to be, or not to be, that is the question.” In this particular case, that question was: would the Devils play the role of spoilers with the Islanders looking to clinch a playoff berth? Monday night, in New Jersey’s season finale, the already eliminated Devils

The one thing about baseball that makes it special is the ace. A guy like Justin Verlander is worth the price of admission and can make hitters look like they need to go back to the drawing board. The problem is, when pitching was outpacing hitting, major league baseball did

Farewell 2023-24, the New Jersey Devils hardly knew thee. Tuesday night at Prudential Center the Devils entered their game with the Maple Leafs on what can only be described as double-secret probation. A regulation loss, coupled with either the Islanders or Flyers gaining at least one point, or the Red Wings

The Nashville Predators are a team that always seems to be around the playoff picture and more often than not, they make it to the dance. If they hold onto their current spot in the Western Conference Wild Card standings, they’ll have qualified for the playoffs 16 times in the

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.
