Hindsight Is 20/20- New Jersey Devils

The Offseason That Wasn’t Imagine a world in which we, the fans, could stop the clock and rewind it to change some things that are causing us grief today. In those times, everything from then until now is totally different. It’s a perfect Devils world, but what happened in the summer of 2023 that changed […]

Jesper Bratt: Underrated After All These Years

HOW HAS BRATT GONE UNNOTICED? Just a season ago, it seemed all but sure that Jesper Bratt, who is playing for the New Jersey Devils and was having a career season, would make his first all-star appearance. Those, like myself, who were sure Bratt would be picked for the All-Star festivities in Florida were just […]

The Detroit Red Wings open the season on the road against the New Jersey Devils

What We Can Expect From the New Jersey Devils This Season

OFFENSE/TOP SIX The New Jersey Devils are stacked up front. Stacked is putting it lightly. The only player in their top six that didn’t score 30-plus goals last season is Dawson Mercer, with twenty-seven. So, with Mercer only three short of 30, it’s safe to say the Devil’s top six is powerful. Lindy Ruff must […]

The Devils Preseason Has Been an Offensive Onslaught. Does It Translate?

“PRESEASON DOESN’T MATTER” The word on the street in NHL town is that the preseason is irrelevant, and nothing can be taken away from it. I myself agree with that in most cases. It seems to me that the New Jersey Devils weren’t just playing warmup games this preseason. The Devils went 5-0 in their […]

Room on New Jerseys Roster Is Prime Real Estate, and the Battle for a Spot Is Fiery

PAIR OF FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICKS SILENTLY BATTLE By the time the NHL Entry Draft came along in 2020, the New Jersey Devils had three first-round picks.
