Toronto, New Jersey and Vancouver are all playing out the string, already out of the playoff race, and needing to consider deep changes throughout their organizations. With less than three weeks...
Some Things I’d Like To See Down The Stretch
The New Jersey Devils have been out of the playoff mix for a while now, but at the very least, they could sort of fool themselves into thinking they were still alive based on how many games were left in the season. But as Chris discussed in the preview for yesterday’s game, the embarrassing loss […]

Devils Pepper Spencer Knight, Break Through in 5-3 Comeback Win Over Blackhawks
After a terrible loss to the Carolina Hurricanes yesterday evening, which really decimated the New Jersey Devils’ longshot playoff hopes, I was looking for one thing above all in the team tonight: whether or not the Devils would play the game for a full 60 minutes and give their best effort.

Carolina’s Ownership Continues
This game was a real litmus test for the current streaking Devils, and the dumb part of me still wondered “what if.” Welp, that dumb part of me got put away in the middle of the second. As the game wore on, the Canes did what they do – stayed patient, forced mistakes and capitalized. […]

The New Jersey Devils Must Call a Player Up From Utica to Avoid Losing Cap Space Next Season
I do not at all enjoy making this kind of case, but it is one that needs to be made. Last night, Evgenii Dadonov played his 19th game of the season in the place of the injured Arseny Gritsyuk. Why is this such a problem? Per Sheldon Keefe, Gritsyuk is considered week-to-week. That means that, […]
