Not Your Brother’s Blackhawks
November 2nd, 2016 Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes are coming in the Windy City. Whether or not the Chicago Blackhawks continue to be successful remains to be seen — but so far, so good at 6-3-1 and tied for first in the Central Division — yet this team is quite different from what it used to look like last year, the year before that, and especially the prior...

Devils Must Overcome Gap in Skill
October 13th, 2015 Not many teams have a player with the skill level of an Alexander Ovechkin. Pittsburgh has Sidney Crosby, Chicago has Patrick Kane, Dallas has Jamie Benn, and that’s not including guys like Evgeni Malkin, Jonathan Toews, and Tyler Seguin. It feels like that in the current NHL, every team has at least one stud player, and now many...

Late Signs Are Great Signs For Devils
June 18th, 2015 Stanley Cup titles aren't won in July. One can win the back pages with a blockbuster trade or big splash signing but patience can pay off. Ask the New Jersey Devils. While they haven't made the postseason in a few years, patience has been a virtue for the Devils. One may argue they've been too patient. In 2011 New Jersey had...

April 12th, 2015 The New Jersey Devils finished the 2014-15 season with 78 points (32-36-14) their lowest total since 1990-91 when they had 79 points. Changes will surely be made this offseason in the Garden State, with one of them being hiring a new head coach.

Devils Improving Despite Lost Season
March 10th, 2015 There’s no doubt the New Jersey Devils have been an exciting team to watch over the past few weeks. They have been awesome on home ice, and were definitely in the discussion of sneaking into the last playoff spot. However, even with going 7-2-1 in their last ten games, they still find themselves 10 points out of a playoff spot...
