The most elusive prize in hockey is not the Stanley Cup, but the ability to call your team a dynasty. How exclusive is this “dynasty club” exactly? The Hockey Hall of Fame only recognized nine official dynasties. The last one being the Edmonton Oilers Dynasty that won five Stanley Cups from 1984-1990. Since then a
They say you always remember your first. Granted, that phrase usually applies to non-hockey related life achievements we don’t discuss on such as innocent sites such as this. But it applies to Stanley Cup championships as well, especially for the New Jersey Devils, who won the franchise’s first Stanley Cup 25 years ago today. I
Much to the delight of New York Mets fans everywhere, the Wilpons have decided to sell the team. Potential buyers include everyone from Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodrigeuz to owners of the New Jersey Devils, David Blitzer and Joshua Harris.

Just the other night, MSG Networks replayed the 1988 New Jersey Devils beating the New York Islanders in their first playoff series win. There was a guy in the crowd wearing a New York Rangers jersey with a New Jersey Devils bumper stick over
Let Me Set the Scene It was April 28, 2015. My old college roommates and I were in our old college dorm, watching an unfortunate first in major league baseball. Due to the Baltimore riots, that night’s Chicago White Sox vs Baltimore Orioles game went completely fanless, under an order from Major League Baseball. A
Battle As Old As Time Itself New Jersey has a few perks. One of them is the great breakfast meat we all love and enjoy. Some call it Taylor Ham. Others call it Pork Roll. Great debates and great fights have gone off between those who call it different things. George Washington didn’t cross the
When I woke up this morning, I thought it was all a dream. Unfortunately, I realized it wasn’t when I looked down and found the Blake Coleman picture I clutched in my grasp as I cried myself to sleep last night. It was true, Coleman was no longer a New Jersey Devil. Honestly, I feel
What Happened? Yesterday was an emotional day for New Jersey Devils’ fans. First, you had the somewhat unexpected trade of Andy Greene. People felt sentimental about the captain leaving, but the trade partner being former New Jersey Devils’ general manager Lou Lamoriello was hardly surprising. Then there was the exhausting speculation and eventual trade of
