Jamie Langenbrunner: The First to Go
Posted on 7 Jan 2011 by Mike Luciano.
It's old news that the Devil's captain Jamie Langenbrunner has been asked to waive his no-trade clause. Langenbrunner was a healthy scratch in tonight's 4-2 loss against the Philadelphia Flyers and confirmed himself he's standing by waiting to be traded. It's obviously a sad sight to see Langenbrunner, who's been a part of the organization for almost eight seasons, have his days numbered. When ...

2011 and the Devils
Posted on 4 Jan 2011 by Mike Luciano.
First and foremost, I wish everyone a happy 2011! After ending the 2010 year with a modest 3-1 defeat over the Atlanta Thrashers, a year during which the Devils went 30-42-9, they stumbled hard into 2011, getting crushed by the Carolina Hurricanes 6-3. Going into tonight's game (1/4/2011) against the Minnesota Wild, there have been a number of intriguing events that transpired, which could have...

Zach Parise: A Double-Edged Sword
Posted on 28 Dec 2010 by Mike Luciano.
Since the regular season began, one of the most obvious goals the Devils faithful hopes to see accomplished is seeing left wing Zach Parise signed to a long term extension, assuring he remains in a Devil's uniform for a long time. Parise was quoted saying he didn't expect to be offered a contract between this past summer and the end of the Devil's 2010-2011 campaign. Despite being open to the i...

Devils After Thirty
Posted on 19 Dec 2010 by Mike Luciano.
Thirty games later, nothing's changed for the New Jersey Devils. They remain in a tight race…for last overall in the league, but are first…in least goals scored and goals against. Oddly enough, the Devils went 4-6-0 in the past ten games, two of which they won 2-1 and had to be decided in a shootout. Compared to how they've fared at the ten game mark (2-7-1) and twenty game mark (3-...

Should Arnott Inherit the “C”?
Posted on 6 Dec 2010 by Mike Luciano.
The leadership quality of Devil's captain Jamie Langenbrunner has been questioned since last year's mid-season slide, a trend that's worsened as it crossed into this year's campaign. At this point in the season, Langenbrunner's been as ineffective as most of the players on this team have been with only three goals and eleven points in eighteen games, going a minus ten. As captain, there's adde...

Devils After Twenty
Posted on 22 Nov 2010 by Mike Luciano.
At the quarter mark of the New Jersey Devil's 2010-2011 campaign, they've got a 5-13-2 record to show for it, leaving them fourth in the Atlantic Division and fourteenth in the Eastern Conference. The Devils lead the league in goals against and have scored the fewest goals in the league. Simply put: Things suck. There really isn't much to discuss that hasn't already been beaten to death, goo...

End an Era to Save a Season?
Posted on 19 Nov 2010 by Mike Luciano.
The finger of blame is going around like the Plague in the New Jersey Devil's locker room. You really can't focus it on anyone in particular because it seems every player and coach is at the same uninspired and discouraged level with almost a quarter the season having passed. That said, one's level of inspiration differs from a player's attributions to the current situation. Since January, Mart...

Why the Devils Should Reunite the ZIP Line
Posted on 1 Nov 2010 by Mike Luciano.
Right now, the Devils need all the offense they can get from this assembly of de motivated and discouraged athletes they're calling a hockey team. It's gotten to the point where John MacLean has resorted to line shuffling and deployed some strange combos such as putting superstar Ilya Kovalchuk with third line checker Rod Pelley. Desperate times call for desperate measures, but a little bit...

Devils After Ten
Posted on 29 Oct 2010 by Mike Luciano.
Before I get into anything, let me apologize to my admins and readers for my lengthy absence. I've been on and off sick, school, two jobs, and a few personal ordeals have starved me of much personal time. Simply put, things flat out suck in Devil Land right now. Their ridiculously slow start to their 2010-2011 campaign wasn't a factor to my recent lack of posted write ups, but it surely made i...

“The Move” and its Effects
Posted on 4 Oct 2010 by Mike Luciano.
General Manager Lou Lamoriello has until 3 PM EST on Wednesday to make the necessary moves to get his team under the $59.4 million salary cap. Since signing Ilya Kovalchuk to the fifteen-year deal that put the Devils approximately $2-3 million over in September, there's been endless speculation as to who will become a cap casualty on the current roster. Inevitably, it's going to be someone with...

Is Langenbrunner Expendable?
Posted on 29 Sep 2010 by Mike Luciano.
Is Jamie Langenbrunner available? Hmm. Depending on who you talk to in the Devils community, this is either a touchy subject or a topic of intense debate. The Devils are running out of time to get under the $59.4 million salary cap and the Devil's captain has been acknowledged as a possible candidate to be moved. A recent rumor spurring around the hockey world has the Colorado Avalanche ...

First Impressions of Training Camp
Posted on 24 Sep 2010 by Mike Luciano.
We're well into training camp and I'm sure I can speak for all hockey fans when I say how excited I am that hockey's back. Although we're in the stages of exhibition hockey, consider it your fix to help ease the anxiety that comes with the anticipation of waiting for October's arrival. After a summer where the New Jersey Devils were among the more relevant teams in the hockey world, there has b...
