One-A-Day: New Jersey Devils

New Jersey Devils


These ain’t your grandpop’s Devils anymore. They actually try to score goals now. Who woulda thought, eh?


Brent Sutter screams and yells his way through games.

He’s one of the main reasons that John Madden had a career high in goals last season or something like that. You know it’s bad when your team’s scoring leader is a checking line center and shutdown specialist.


We have a general dislike for the Devils. Whenever the Penguins have to play them, we kinda cringe. It’s not that we are afraid of the Penguins losing (cause that happened all the time B.S.C.) it’s just that we fall asleep during Devils games.

All the blame falls onto Marty Browhore’s shoulders. He is a whiner and a diver and a stuck up little princess.

Whew, glad that’s off our chests.

We loved when Sean Avery did his little circus act in Marty’s crease during the play offs. It’s like they’re in kindergarten and Avery knows just what makes Marty squirm so he does it all the time. And Marty isn’t mature enough to just ignore his antics so he whines about it.

That’s our interpretation of the relationship between Sean Avery and Martin ‘Fatso’ Brodeur.

We are sure they miss each other.

An exciting thing about the new season is that with the new schedule, the Penguins only have to play the Devils 3 times at home. That’s too bad cause we were looking forward to an extra game of nap-time.

One of the reasons that we sleep during games is their line-up. Sweet Lou Lamoriello must think that it’s the late nineties again. With the signings of Brian Rolston and Robert Holik, it’s like a time warp.

Petr Sykora will think it’s a nightmare when he goes back to New Jersey and sees Holik lining up at the face-off dot between Rolston and Elias.

We kid, we kid.
