Incredible. Everson doesn't site any sources or have any evidence to back up his speculation.

Definitely an HFBoard Reader.

Anyways...

LETS GO DEVILS!!!
:devdance: :devils :devdance:
====================
:isles :fight: :devils

Incredible. Everson doesn't site any sources or have any evidence to back up his speculation.PEli suggests that HFBoards is the source in the "Devs Looking To Land Brad Stuart..." thread. I was going to post that Everson is The Devils Repairman's source in that thread after this article came out.

I also find it odd that Everson doesn't have Scott Gomez being traded. It just isn't an Everson trade-speculation article without Gomez being traded. How many times has Everson had Gomez being traded over the last six years? It must be around a dozen times.

We should start a random rumor and see if Everson picks up on it :)

wow, i just read it, i wonder if hes gonna get in trouble for plagorism of HFBoards?
:teach:

Has everson ever got a Devils trade rumor right? Think his article proves that Stuart isn't coming here.

DownfromNJ, your right we should. Between Eklund and and Everson it would get spread pretty quickly.

Janssen or Dowd tonight? Fraser or Hale?

Repairman, is there any chance you could start a rumor like "Devils interested in Perreault" on these boards? I'd love to expose Mark Everson.

Incredible. Everson doesn't site any sources or have any evidence to back up his speculation.

"Lou Lamoriello has received break after break from the league on his cap mess"

Oh great, more wonderful misrepresentation from the NYR/Leni Riefenstahl propaganda machine.

If you keep saying it, people will believe it.

I would also point out from the Sun article

"Since December 22, captain Patrik Elias has completely turned his season around, tallying 23 points and a plus-12 rating in 22 games. Though Martin Brodeur is clearly the Devils' anchor, Elias's productivity is critical to the team's success."

for all the abuse Elias has been getting questioning his deserving of the C lately.

Great GDT thread as always Puddy.

There's an article in today's NY post about how the Islanders are playing better due to the team changing it's game plan and concentrating on being more defensive due to not being able to run and gun with other teams. I thought their coach found that type of game boring? 2-1 Devils win because we're the best at the defensive game.

With possibly Yashin out of the lineup (day to day) and Martinek, the Devils should pick up the W. Our offense seams to be really clicking right now. Our 2nd line is playing as good as our 1st line and our defense is always a force to be recking with.

Devils: 4 (Parise, Gomez, Elias, Oduya)
VS
Islanders: 1 (Hunter)


LET'S GO DEVILS !!!!!

grrrrrrrr hunter always scores on us

"Lou Lamoriello has received break after break from the league on his cap mess"

Oh great, more wonderful misrepresentation from the NYR/Leni Riefenstahl propaganda machine.

If you keep saying it, people will believe it.

Please, don't put Leni in the company of the NYR. :sarcasm:

We've won the last 3 meetings, let's keep the streak going.

We've won the last 3 meetings, let's keep the streak going.

I dont know, I may be wrong but I think tonights game is gonna be a bit different from the last few. Not making any win predictions, just think both teams are going to play with alot more wind now the deadline is coming up.

Goodluck Devs

Please, don't put Leni in the company of the NYR. :sarcasm:

It's a perfect combination for the two. He's picked up in print where she left off in film.

Another Burns article for the GDT:

http://www.cbc.ca/sports/columns/morrison/070207.html

Discipline, discipline, DISCIPLINE.

The Devils need to do better and reduce the number of stupid infractions they take, thereby reducing the number of power plays given up. In the last two weeks or so (including this week), the Devils given up 6 against the Rangers, 3 against Buffalo, 4 against the Flyers, and 6 against the Thrashers. Way too many man advantages for opponents to make the game even harder for the Devils, and if the Devils get too dumb/heated on the ice, the Devils will have a difficult time tonight.

I know the Islanders' power play hasn't been effective, but they will be up for the game if only because they're coming off a big win against Philly last night and that they are a mere 2 points behind 8th place Carolina. These games are always good, close games; but I still believe discipline is the key. GO DEVILS!

My prediction for this game is Devs come out on top...ehh....3-1

Langy PP Goal 1-0
Hunter Goal 1-1
Parise Goal 2-1
Parise Goal 3-1

This game will come down to the 3rd period again... both teams will play good D and really cut down on chances on both ends.

Devils 9-8 in a so another chess match:sarcasm:

Games against teams fighting for a playoff spot are always tough, because as much incentive as the Devils have to win (keeping space between them and Pittsburgh, catching Buffalo) the Isles have their backs to the wall and will probably come out strong. Hopefully the Devils can match the intensity.

Should be a good one tonight guys. DP loves playing you guys because he pretty much wants to be where Marty is in his career right now and has always been, UNBELIEVABLE, so he kind of gets up for these games. Both teams are playing well and god knows the Isles need these points being only 5 away from 5th in the conference so it should be interesting. Anyway, good luck tonight and maybe Parise wont score against us yet again. :sarcasm: ;)

We can handle them.

is Janssen playing tonight?

Parise is scoring on everyone right now.

Parise is scoring on everyone right now.

I know gotta love the kid and the way he plays. I usually dont like too many guys from the Rags and Devs, but I love Parise Gomez and Gionta, I guess maybe because they are American.

actually I dont think there is anyone on the Devs that I hate, unlike the other ****ing team across the river from you guys. ;)

Sean Avery is just two more reasons to hate them... but one reason is canceled out by his smokin' hot girl friend.

Let's pick it up guys. I'm hoping for a pretty exciting game tonight and hopefully a good crowd at CAA as well. I'm hoping for Marty to be god tonight! Let's kick some ***!!! LETS GO DEVILS!!

Man, I'm a hockey player, why cant I get ladies like those? :huh:

He's still with Kim Bauer?

I don't think there's anyone on the Isles I hate either except maybe Hill (carry over from Carolina). I think it's a case of the enemy of my enemy is my friend kind of situation.

Viktor Kozlov? I was so high on him when we got him and was his only supporter for so long...

I guess I just feel sorry for him.

Even Ted Nolan is tough to hate because of the past and the comeback.
He doesn't like boring chess matches, and implementing wise defensive style, but that is not enough for hate.

Trottier of HF certainly gives cause for throwing down though.:D


edit: Didn't things get chippy with Brylin at the end of the game before last against the Isles?

Janssen is the scratch.

Most Dev fans hate Kozlov... I barely knew him though as a fan. And apparantly thats the story... Mr. Shootout.

Is the game being played anywhere online? TVUplayer?

Go Devils! :devdance:

Hey, guys, just signed up... Been a Devil fan since Driver and Muller were nice to me as a 5 yo after a trip to S. Mountain Arena in Totowa in 84.

Welcome!

lets go NJ Devils.....im soo excited for this game....lets hope its a WIN!!!

well it BETTER be!

Thanks! Love to see Martin jumping into the play early, he's got the talent to do it, just gotta committ to it.

Penalty! Let's see if our killer Power play can get going :sarcasm:

PP for the Devils....

They had better do something with this 5 on 3...

Brendan Witt just shoves down Parise from behind into the boards; that's a roughing (boarding?) call.

Quick 5-on-3 for NJ. Score damn it!

UPDATE: Gionta, why did you knock it wide???

Damn, our PP is in a serious slump.

Ugh, that was frustrating.

But Jason Blake thinks that hooking a Devil whilst in the Devils' zone is a good idea when it's not. He'll sit for 2 and the Devils get (yet another) crack at the PP.

Please don't dissapoint, Devils!

Okay, they really had better score on this one.

That was a very weak call on Blake, he hooked the lower portion of Lukowich's stick.

Edit: Didn't notice his stick slide up Lukowich's.

another power play opportunity for the NJ Devils

That was a very weak call on Blake, he hooked the lower portion of Lukowich's stick.

The replay shows Blake had got Lukowich's hands; which is a definite call.

Parise is taking a beating these days.

The Devils need to work on their PP in these upcoming days off.

All right, we'll try this again :help:

Wow that's frustrating. Outshoot them 15-3, and it's scoreless.

Ugh, damn you Dipietro.

Ugh, damn you Dipietro.
He plays against us like Marty plays against the Habs.

In some ways, this game reminds me of the Buffalo game. Everything there's but the finish.

Which is exactly why this is frustrating. Why must you be so good DiPietro?! Whyyyyyyyyy?

I think the game plan when we face the Isles is to make DP play the puck. Just dump the puck in and see what stupid **** he does.

now you know how we feel when we see #30 in the pipes.;)

now you know how we feel when we see #30 in the pipes.;)

Yeah, I know. I can only imagine the buckets of "uggggh" that get produced when Marty is Marty. I'll try not to complain as much.

you dont even know.

14-2-3 since Christmas. I think this Devils team is pretty dang good, guys!

And thank you Brodeur and the defense for stopping a Jeff Tambellini chance that would have made the prior statement a little foolish! :)

Elias needs a video session. If he gives up one more shooting opportunity all alone in the low slot I'll kill him. I don't care if he's on his backhand, he needs to take that shot.

Wow, the game has so many scoring chances that are just unrealized! Looks like this one will be another goaltender's duel.

Thankfully the Isles only hit the post.

Is it just me or are we seeing more of the fourth line tonight? I'm seeing Rupp and Ras a lot more on the ice.

Yeah, I was saying the same thing. He seems to be playing with some extra jump tonight.

Woo!!

I'LL TAKE IT

PZL strikes again!

Odd man rush, Parise botches the pass, puts it in close, DiPietro misses the puck, and the Devils win the scramble for the goal!

1-0 NJ! Langenbrunner! Or Zajac! who cares, it's A GOAL!

Hand pass?

why will elias not shoot?

Gomez, whyyyyyy in the hell did you slash Witt. No reason for that!

2 minutes in the box means 2 minutes of a man advantage for the Isles.

Stupid Islanders trap hockey... they're ruining the sport I tells ya!

I wish, I wish, I wish that centering pass actually hit a Devil when DiPietro was still behind the net.

Wow. Keep pressing, Devils; I'm sure another will go your way. Eventually. I hope.

Yeah, and my Isles fan friend has the audacity to tell me that "the Devils are really boring" while watching this game.

I wish, I wish, I wish that centering pass actually hit a Devil when DiPietro was still behind the net.

Wow. Keep pressing, Devils; I'm sure another will go your way. Eventually. I hope.
Me too.

I also wish Parise's pass didn't bounce over both Zajac and Hale's sticks.

Aside, Julien looks like he's giving Hale and the 4th liners plenty of minutes tonight.

Think Lou threatened him about using the 4th line and the whole roster? :D

Why wasn't Langs ever nominated for captain? Just listening him talk in that interview and watching him play tonight made we wonder why he wasn't a favorite. Maybe he's made some strides this year that we didn't see before.

Langs isn't a career Devil; Elias is, so he wasn't going to be passed over.

21.

That's how many wins the Devils have earned that were one-goal games.

It's very possible the Devils can make this #22, but I sincerely believe the Islanders will not let a 1-0 game slide. They came close to scoring last period a number of times as well; the Devils must not bunker for much of the remaining 20 minutes.

lukowich has been great all nights

What the hell is Scott Stevens doing in Lukowich's uniform?

Man, he is playing great.

Let's pick it up guys. I'm hoping for a pretty exciting game tonight and hopefully a good crowd at CAA as well. I'm hoping for Marty to be god tonight! Let's kick some ***!!! LETS GO DEVILS!!2 out of 3 ain't bad I just talked to some buddies at the game only about 10,000 there.

Lukko rules!!! only 1 less career cup than Scotty looks like he wants to have a third.

Crossbar!

Good to see the Devils keeping pace and trying for goal #2. Keep at it Devils!

UPDATE: Biiiiig save by Brodeur! His glove hand is strong, like carriage full of power.

Stupid Islanders trap hockey... they're ruining the sport I tells ya!

I would laugh hysterically if Julien complained tomorrow in the paper about how the Islanders just trapped all night and really werent attacking...It would be true justice.

DP is standin on his head tonight..

Penalty on Rafalski.. That's a way to swing momentum

I would laugh hysterically if Julien complained tomorrow in the paper about how the Islanders just trapped all night and really werent attacking...It would be true justice.

If only the Devils were beating the Islanders by 4 or something, if only to please Mr. Nolan.

UPDATE: Elias! No! Gionta on the rebound! Twice! No dice! Wow!

Rafalski will sit for 2 minutes for something that is likely foolish.

Ricky D's getting lucky

Ricky D's getting lucky

No, he's a very good goaltender.

Ricky D's getting lucky

yeah, but he's playing some great hockey right now...

wow Marty

Martin Brodeur doesn't need a mask to keep a shot going wide!

BTW, Madden take the shot when you get a break like that! Pandolfo on a 2-on-1 is not a good option. :)

absolutely brilliant!!!!

SHORTY!

And it's by Pandolfo off a 2-on-1!

I'm so sorry for doubting you Jay!

Wow!

2-0 NJ!

OH MY WHAT A PLAY

Some hands Mr. Pandolfo!

holy ****. That was the nastiest play I have ever seen by the two most defensive offensemen in the league

Anyone not watching or listening will say another boring Devs game. Wrong! Wrong! Wrong. Pando SCORES:yo: :yo:

WOW...what a play...nice job mad dog and pando!

I was like, damn not another 2 on 1 with Madden and Pando, haha and he shut me up

Wow what a goal!

HOLY *****:amazed:

And that's how you debate!!

was that our first shorty of the year?

was that our first shorty of the year?

2nd luko in philly

was that our first shorty of the year?

2nd i think... Luko had one in Philly

Oduya and Asham will both get 2 minutes for roughing. Coincidental, OK; but keep cool Devils. Let's not pucker in the 4-on-4 situation.

ahhhh I wish there wasn't a penalty. I want to see Rupp get out there and kick some ass.

2nd i think... Luko had one in Philly

oh yeah....madden and pando were do....

Pando almost had another one!

damn been waiting to see Johnnys fighten skills.....but Ashams one tough cookie, the one guy who I can say convincingly beat Cam

marty is playing great...as is dipietro but we dont care about that!!:)

Do we have an empty netter this season?

Does anyone know why my post are time traveling....I can post one and then a minute later the new one will get put before the old one

Shutout #10!

So #10

Do we have an empty netter this season?

didnt we get one last time we played the islanders?

Nice win...Another shutout for Marty!!:bow:

Do we have an empty netter this season?
The captain got one in another 2-0 victory against the Islanders.

damn been waiting to see Johnnys fighten skills.....but Ashams one tough cookie, the one guy who I can say convincingly beat Cam

Did you see the video of him fighting Horcoff in Sweden (i think)?

Thank goodness they didn't spoil another MArty SO..



Complete game tonight besides the PP.. Created chances, shut the other team down, Marty made some nice and timely saves and recorded another SO

Does anyone know why my post are time traveling....I can post one and then a minute later the new one will get put before the old one

Yeah I remember Elias got one early this season.

Nice we just keep rolling 9th shutout for Marty:D

10th shutout by Brodeur, his...90th! 90 shutouts! Brodeur is the best!

PZL with a hard-working goal to win it, Jay Pandolfo with a beautiful shorty to ice it and while DiPietro played very well, the Devils and Brodeur were better.

2-0 NJ! Whoo!

My bad thought Doc just said #9

The captain got one in another 2-0 victory against the Islanders.

Thanks.. Prob one of the games i missed when i was on vacation

Did you see the video of him fighting Horcoff in Sweden (i think)?

yeah he looks like hes got a mean streak when he fights, must have gotten that from his brother.....but I have to say Im glad hes shown great disapline and leaves the fighting to other guys that we can spare, he is too valuable to us.

Strange game. I thought the Devils blew so many chances in the first and than the Islanders came on in the second, but the third belonged to the Devils and if it wasn't for the game Ricky had the score could have been worse. Although, Marty also made some big time saves. Like I said before, strange game.

Good game fellas. Hey that goalie of yours is he a rookie because he is pretty dasmn good.;) The Devs played an excellent game, again. Just so frustrating playing you guys play the system and stay within themselves so well.

It definitely is when Pando scores a shorty.

#90......watch out Sawchuk, he's comin' to git you

What's the season series score now? 5-1?

#90......watch out Sawchuk, he's comin' to git you

Marty should beat him by next season.

ho-hum...another devils victory and another shutout for marty



woooooooo

I was like, damn not another 2 on 1 with Madden and Pando, haha and he shut me up


That play and goal is the type that Elias and Gomez have scored on in a few different overtime games in the past.

One step closer to #103 ...and Hart. :bow:

Hopefully he can keep up these great stats. he really deserves a Hart.

I def prefer games like this than those Atlanta and Philly games..

What i like the most about this team is that they can win games 5-4 when needed or win them 1-0

Now it's gonna get much harder to get those SO's, not just because the playoffs are coming up, but in general when you're close enough it just seems tougher (and Marty has admitted this). I just hope he can get it done this season, in this building, than some measly game at the beginning of next season.

anyone have the new numbers for marty?

i love how islander fans still think we played boring hockey....

how is that possible when we put up soo many shots and pretty much played most of the game in their zone....:dunno:

This is an easy one, key word WE put up the chances, not them. :teach:

anyone have the new numbers for marty?I posted them above.

92.7% is .927 if you want to express it as an average, which the NHL usually does.

I just hope he can get it done this season, in this building, than some measly game at the beginning of next season.

You want another 13 SOs this season?

*** STOP HIDING THE GENIE FROM US

Anyone know who Marty has the most career shutouts against? I think the Isles should be up there.

This is an easy one, key word WE put up the chances, not them. :teach:

i watched the whole game from start to finish and it looked to me that the devils were soaring all over the place and it was dipietro that had to face many chances of which if he wasnt on, this could have been a 5-0 game......

1 every 5 here on in gets him 15 on the year.

i watched the whole game from start to finish and it looked to me that the devils were soaring all over the place and it was dipietro that had to face many chances of which if he wasnt on, this could have been a 5-0 game......

How are you going to find a game entertaining if you see the other team taking it to you? I dunno, I'd find that kind of game incredibly boring. I'll take a 0-0 game with lots of chances for both teams as an incredibly entertaining game, I don't need a lot of goals like 5

i love how islander fans still think we played boring hockey....

how is that possible when we put up soo many shots and pretty much played most of the game in their zone....:dunno:

Devils aren't boring.. The other fans get pissed that the Devils shut their offense down and make their team look boring so they go by the forever engranded "boring Devils"... You never see them callin the Devils boring if they're winning or scoring do you?

I'd just like to say that Martin Brodeur's shutouts are going to win me 500 dollars in one of my hockey pools.

:)

They lose, they cry about our playing style.

They lose, we laugh at them, and move on.

= 90

Marty Brodeur trails Chris Mason by .000181 for the best save percentage in the NHL. Here are they are:

C. Mason____.927466
M. Brodeur__ .927285

Brodeur leads in every other major category: wins, shutouts, goals against average, games played, time on ice, shots attempted and saves. I wonder who the last goaltender to lead every single major category is.

Jamie Langenbrunner was on Hockey Night New York Jersey. He said that the Devils aren't concerned with catching Buffalo, but the team is focused on winning each game night.

I'd just like to say that Martin Brodeur's shutouts are going to win me 500 dollars in one of my hockey pools.

:)
It's not just him that's going to win it for you, that was a killer guide you posted before the season. You deserve it. :)

It's the Isles, and the answer is 9

Calgary - 0
Edmonton - 0
Minnesota - 0
Nashville - 0
San Jose - 0
That 1-0 loss really hurts now.

Not a bad game tonight. It looked like Marty and Langenbrunner were the stars tonight. Dipietro was definitely a star tonight as well for the way he played. I heard and agree with Doc on this that DP always gets up for the games against Brodeur and plays his best. Marty of course played great and made some great saves. Congrats to him for the 10th shutout and #90!!!

Just plain AWESOME goal by Pando from a great pass by Madden and short-handed no less, been a rareity to see those. Was getting a bit laughable against the Islanders for hearing Madden/Pandolfo on that last powerplay before the goal. Great game overall, it was also interesting seeing Oduya getting into a little scuff there and wondered if he had any fighting skills had the refs let them go at it.

Let's hope we can take it to Tampa and play great on Sunday!

Not surprised that all the teams are from the West.

I'm slightly surprised that he has 7 against Montreal. Now I know he owns the Habs, but that's just as many as he has against Philly and the Rangers in probably half as many games played. It's also not like Montreal was ever really terrible like Tampa (5), Carolina (6), and Ottawa (6) were for a portion of his career.

I'm curious to see how many he has at home vs Montreal, as opposed to how many he has IN Montreal, his hometown!

He really really really steps it up against Montreal his career stats against MTL are:

49 games played 32 wins 12 losses, 5 ties 0 OTL 4 empty net goals against, goals against 86, goals against average 1.74, 1287 shots against, 1201 saves, .933 save percentage, 7 shutouts

It's the best numbers he has against any opponent

4 at the Bell Centre and 3 at the CAA

Montreal was pretty terrible from 98-01.

4 at the Bell Centre and 3 at the CAA

To add to that, in Montreal, in 19 games played he's got 12 wins 6 losses and a tie, 1.47 goals against average 28 goals allowed, 522 shots 494 saves for a save pct of .946

Montreal was pretty terrible from 98-01.

but he used the adjective REALLY terrible, not pretty terrible ;)

4 at the Bell Centre and 3 at the CAA

I thought he might have more in Montreal than in Jersey. You are correct, he gets himself really really really up for games in Montreal!! Not that he doesn't at home either! :yo:

Just got back (was out at a bar with friends - hey, when you're a second semester senior, every night is a drinking night!), after listening to the first I thought they might be in for a rough night if the missed chances came back to bite them in the ass, glad to hear they got the win. And Marty got the shutout. Great stuff :D

It's not just him that's going to win it for you, that was a killer guide you posted before the season. You deserve it. :)

thanks man, appreciate it a lot!

The thing is, in one of my leagues (the big money one) me and the second place guy are pretty even in every category, except shutouts. Brodeur's unreal number has basically given me first place the rest of the way, unless something crazy happens.

Too bad we don't face you guys at all this year, it would be a treat to watch Luongo and Brodeur face off.

You'd be disappointed, Brodeur has owned Luongo for Luongo's career

17 games played 4 wins 13 losses, 3.24 g.a.a. .907 svpct. his lowest stats against any opponent he's played over 10 games against.

The captain got one in another 2-0 victory against the Islanders.

That's why he earns the big bucks.

completely new situation, Luongo is basically a different goalie. I'd throw most of his Florida stats out the window. Not saying he is at Brodeur's level (no goalie is, tbh), I just think they both thrive and it would be a treat to watch.

Not to mention many coaches label Vancouver the "Devils of the West."

I think Luongo has always been the same, it's the team in front of him, but he's chased often, and not because the Devils shoot the lights out, it's because he lets in 3 or 4 on 12 shots, bad goals. I'd like to see of the ownage would continue in Vancouver.

Out of all our division rivals, our games versus the Isles are by far the most boring. They hunker down so much against us, that the game never opens up. Its brutal.

Thank god this team knows how to spice it up by playing sound defensive hockey with a good offense. That SHG was BEAUTIFUL!

Hey guys, went to the game. If anyone ever, and I mean EVER gives us **** about our attendance again you tell them to do what we had to do tonight to get in and out of that god-forsaken dump. What a ****hole! I can't wait till they blow it up!

Now mind you, there were about 8000 actual people at the game, and it took me about 20 minutes to park in that monstrosity they call a parking garage. Then they made us park ON THE ROOF and it then took us another 20 minutes to get down from the top after the game. It was the single worst experience I have had there, and I thought that stupid tunnel was bad.

I am a crazed Devil fan and I am NEVER parking in that "Garage" again. I can't even begin to im agine how many people stay away from these games because it is such a ***** getting in and out, plus once inside, it is as bad as it ever was.

But at least we won!!!!!!!

Woo hoo!

Pando made a great play and the Dip played really well too.

Dude, the only reason I've gone to so many games this year (6 so far) is because that dump is going to not be our home next season.

I hate the stupid tunnel. I hate the "deck".

You know, I posted my experience from tonight so fans who arent around here can appreciate what its like to just get into and out of the damn arena. Maybe if fans of other teams had to do what we have to they wouldnt make fun of our attendance issues.

Agreed. Some fans have the luxury of mass transportation and a wonderful arena locale to goto.

We have a barren smelly landscape which is as cold as Antarctica 4 months out of the year.

The only reason I ever go there is to see the Devs play. But sometimes, thats not enough... the commute, parking, cold... it all adds up.

I see Gomez changed his stick selection for this one. He used the new RBK stick that has a whole bunch of holes in the shaft, I believe its called the O-tech, they gave a review of it in one of they last few Hockey News issues. I wonder why he stopped using that TPS stick after a good amount of time?

This may be old news to everyone else, but I actually looked up what all the current construction is about and the finally learned that the "Xanadu Project" is shopping mall...


The Xanadu Entertainment project will consist of many different station including sports, fashion, food/home, kids and entertainment. New Jersey is willing to bring on the challenge of making the biggest mall in the world, and is ready for the expected traffic and population issues

You have got to be ******** me! Who's going to go shopping at the Medowlands? "Hey honey, do you want to go to Paramus, Nyack or Hell on Earth?"

Nick Backstrom, who has played all of 19 games is eligible to be among league leaders in statistics, so he's jumped up to #2 in g.a.a. with 2.06 and 1st in svpct with .931 :madfire: lets make 40 games the requirement NHL

Poor Clemmer! (http://www.nj.com/devils/ledger/index.ssf?/base/sports-0/1170999511268490.xml&coll=1)

Wasn't even playing and he had to get stitches.

Ugh...the parking garage absolutely sucks man. I hate that thing. Never thought I'd rather walk through the tunnel. I got stuck like that once and I have never parked in there again.

Great game last night. I have to say this about Dipietro, I really think he has found his game. Or at least he sure has against us because he plays fantastic against the Devils.

the only time i parked in the garage was in the handicap section which was sweet.

Not sure if anyone read the Neverson article in today's post. He wrote that Pando scored in an empty net. :shakehead

First, it was shorthanded and second it's one of the nicest setup and goals you will see. I guess he wasn't at the game and must get his info second hand? :dunno:

Have they even done anything with that project in the past few months? I swear that skeleton of a building next to CAA has not changed since the beginning of the season. I've also heard that there were a lot of problems with the project.

I also wonder how well another shopping mall is going to do there...especially when you look at Mill Creek Mall just a mile or two down the road on Route 3 which is practically abandoned at this point (I only know that since my friends and I meet up there before games to take one car in).

Great rant...I'm with you on the parking garage. I'd rather freeze my nuts off walking back to Giants stadium, though I've had trouble getting out of there after games as well. The concessions are also terrible at the arena - I hate having to miss mites on ice to get food or a beer. Anyway, can't wait 'til they blow up the old barn. I'll be on hand to watch it go down.
