The Devils Are Rivals With the Islanders, Right?
On the first night of the playoffs, I found myself at one of my sports bars glancing between the Tampa Bay-Columbus game, and the New York Islanders-Pittsburgh Penguins game. Next to me sat a long-suffering Islanders fan, dressed in the infamous fisherman jersey. Although at first, I pitied him for wearing the single ugliest sweater
Why I’m Rooting for the Tampa Bay Lightning
Writer’s Twitter: @ChrisMottHockey This will be the year that the curse of winning the President’s Trophy will end. The Tampa Bay Lightning are dominant in every phase of the game from offense to defense to goaltending. There are keys to why Tampa will go all the way this season. They have so much depth scoring
Why I’m Rooting for the Carolina Hurricanes
As I recover from the high of winning last night’s Draft Lottery and deciding if I should be #TeamHughes or #TeamKaapo, the NHL playoffs commence tonight. Yeah, the New Jersey Devils aren’t in it this year, and that sucks, especially since I placed a few preseason bets that they’d make the playoffs which weren’t some
Why I’m Rooting for the Washington Capitals
The Stanley Cup Playoffs are upon us which only means one thing for New Jersey area fans: Ignore the Islanders existence and hop on a bandwagon somewhere else. Fortunately, there’s five new playoff matchups and a lot of underdog potential to root for. I however, am not taking that route. Somewhere between watching Alex Ovechkin
Why I’m Rooting for the Nashville Predators
The Stanley Cup Playoffs will be in full swing on Wednesday Apr. 10. Sixteen teams, eight in each conference will fight it out to eventually be crowned Stanley Cup Champions in June.

Why I’m Rooting for the Columbus Blue Jackets
The 2019 NHL playoffs begin wednesday, and the Columbus Blue Jackets are the team of destiny. I want to be very clear, I didn’t pick the Blue Jackets in the DAB Bracket Challenge group (which you should join if you haven’t yet). https://bracketchallenge.nhl.com/leagues/devils-army-blog I’m not crazy, I know the Blue Jackets play the Tampa Bay
Why I’m Rooting for the St. Louis Blues
One of the best times of year is finally upon us: the Stanley Cup Playoffs. There are a lot of great storylines entering this year’s edition of the race for the Cup. Robin Lehner’s career-resurrecting year with the surprising Islanders, the Tampa Bay Lightning’s legendary regular season performance, and Alexander Ovechkin’s chance to defend the
Riveters: Mock CWHL Player Draft
On Sunday, March 31, the Canadian Women’s Hockey League (CWHL) announced that beginning May 1, it would be ceasing all operations. It took only two days for the NWHL to make a statement claiming they are planning on expanding to include two Canadian markets in Montreal and Toronto. While it is not certain that the
Devils Sign Top Prospect Jeremy Davies
The season may be over, but the New Jersey Devils have added a fresh face as the year comes to a close. On Wednesday, the team announced that they had signed defenseman and top prospect Jeremy Davies. Davies was the Devils seventh-round pick in the 2016 draft. He has spent the last three years playing
NWHL Season Recap for the Metropolitan Riveters
It’s hard to come up with something to say other than ‘it was bad,’ because…it was that bad. The Metropolitan Riveters coming into the 2018-19 season were expected to be the same force to be reckoned with that they were when they were hoisting the Isobel Cup just months prior. However, things turned ugly fast.
