Viewing Party: Tuesday, Nov 15th @ North Brunswick Pub – Devils vs. Bruins
What could be more fun than hanging out with a group of fellow hockey fans, enjoying delicious discounted food and drinks, meeting NJ Devils alumni, playing exciting games, taking home fabulous prizes, and watching your NJ Devils take on the reigning Stanley Cup champs on a giant 80 inch HD projector?
Why don’t you come find out for yourself? Next Tuesday, November 15, the Devils Army Generals will be hosting our second viewing party of the season as the NJ Devils travel to Beantown to take on the Boston Bruins. As we continue our quest to bring the Devils Army to all corners of New Jersey and beyond, we’re venturing into the heart of the Garden State, to the North Brunswick Pub on Route 1 in North Brunswick, NJ.
The North Brunswick Pub is known for its tasty pub grub, reasonable prices, and friendly, casual atmosphere. With multiple large flat-screen TVs, two 80 inch HD projectors, and more, it’s the perfect place to recreate that “at the game” feeling. This location was actually suggested to us by a member of the Devils Army on Twitter, and is a favorite among many of my own family and friends.
As always, there will be contests and giveaways, raffles, a silent auction, and an appearance by a member of the Devils alumni – 2003 Stanley Cup Champion Grant Marshall.
If wings are your thing, you’re in luck—Tuesday nights at the Pub are “35 Cent Boneless Wing Nights” from 6pm until close! Be sure to check out some of their mouthwatering new sauces, including Mediterranean Feta, Creamy Pesto, Red Pepper Basil, and Garlic Parmesan! There will also be discount pitchers of domestic beer and other food and drink specials to be announced.
The fun starts at 7pm. Come join us at the North Brunswick Pub, located at 1864 Route 1 (on the northbound side) in North Brunswick, NJ. For directions, click here (I have provided directions from the Prudential Center—please make sure to change the starting address to your own).
For more information, please check out and RSVP to our Official Facebook Event. Bring a friend, Get Your Jersey On and we’ll see you there!

2011-2012 Kick-Off Party at Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza
It’s finally October! The Devils Generals joined a ton of other fans at Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza in Edison to celebrate and kick-off the season.
The fans took over Anthony’s and ate up! Anthony’s set us up with some great food and drink specials. Between the wings, ribs and speciality pizza’s, there was plenty of food going around. Oh and I forgot about the sausage and peppers plates and flatbread. Needless to say, we were stuffed.
Our very own Jim Dowd stopped by and was happy to take pictures and sign autographs. A Patrik Elias bobblehead and an autographed Travis Zajac stick were raffled off in addition to our table of giveaways for everyone who stopped by.
There was a great turn out with plenty of red flowing through the doors and Devils stamped cars in the parking lot. Fans mingled with other fans, talked about what they expected out of the Devils this season and how excited they were for opening night. Some fans just talked about how excited they were for Jim Dowd, and that’s cool too. Thanks to everyone who joined us, see you on Saturday for Opening Night!

Stanley Cup Game 2 Viewing Party: Recap!
On Saturday night, Hell’s Kitchen Lounge opened up their doors and hosted a Stanley Cup Viewing Party during Game 2 between the Boston Bruins and Vancouver Canucks. Over 25 people showed up on short notice and enjoyed the game on the big projector screen.
The Canucks took an early lead when Alexandre Burrows scored a power-play goal, making that his eighth goal of the postseason and keeping the Bruins off the scoresheet for a total of 81 minutes. However, the Bruins didn’t give up and in the second period, Milan Lucic squeezed one between Roberto Luongo’s legs to even up the game. A little over two minutes later, Mark Recchi scored a power-play goal to give the Bruins the lead and with that goal, Recchi, who turned 43 in February, became the oldest player in NHL history to score in a Stanley Cup Final.
In the third period, the Canucks evened the game, when Daniel Sedin ripped one into a wide open net while Thomas was trying to cut down the angle on Burrows. The game went back and forth and remained tied and everyone was getting ready for some great overtime hockey. Well, just as everyone was settling into their seats, they were right back up when Alexandre Burrows scored his 9th post-season goal just 11 seconds into OT. This was Burrows third overtime goal, tying only two other players in NHL history, Maurice Richard of the Canadiens in 1951 and Mel Hill of the Bruins in 1939.
The Canucks now have a 2-0 lead heading into Game 3, which is this evening in Boston at 8pm.
We would like to thank the fans that showed up to this event and we hope you enjoyed your evening. We would also like to thank Hell’s Kitchen and their staff for hosting this great event and we’re looking forward to having another viewing party there during the 2011-2012 season.

Tweet To The Cup | Boston/Montreal Game 5 at Cryan’s
Where did you watch Game 5 of the Boston and Montreal series? If it wasn’t at Cryan’s in South Orange, you made the wrong choice. The Generals hosted a Tweet Up to watch the game last Thursday with all the usual festivities. There was hockey. There were prizes. There was even a Stanley Cup in attendance… kind of.
Kim with the Cup!
Tweet Ups are fun, that’s a given. But each Tweet Up gets better. There are a few regular attendee’s and always a few new faces. It’s a great way to meet and hang out with other hockey fans and enjoy a game. Since the Devils season has officially ended this is how we can get our playoff hockey fix! There’s still hockey to watch and there’s plenty to talk about. All the usual topics are covered – players, teams, stats. Then there are the unusual conversations about hockey hats and beards. (Kim and I decided that the Flyers need to clean up a bit, don’t you agree?)
Hockey Talk
The majority of us were rooting for Boston so the overtime win was pretty sweet! We also had a ton of give aways and a drawing to win an autographed Elias puck that people were pretty pumped about.

Mobbing the Give Away Table
It was another successful Tweet Up. If you missed this one don’t worry, there will be more to come! We kind of really like this Tweet Up thing.

If you’ve missed the last few #DevilsTweetups, you will not want to miss this one!
This one will be huge… so we HAD to list it on NHLtweetup.com! (you can RSVP for this event through there).
There will be a few other groups joining us, some of the Devils Generals will be there, and we will have some special guests! JUST ADDED: Former Devils defenseman and three-time Stanley Cup champion Ken Daneyko will make an appearance!
As an added bonus, the Hockey This Week guys will be having a LIVE broadcast from the tweetup! Come for the show (which will begin at 6pm) and stay for Devils hockey!
We will once again be watching our New Jersey Devils as they play on the road. This time, they will be taking on the Pittsburgh Penguins in another huge game as the season winds down and the Devils continue their playoff push!
The location is the same: Port 44 Brew Pub in Newark (just three blocks from The Rock). They have once again been kind enough to give us the entire second floor for our group… and this time we’ll need it!
They will also be offering us the usual drink specials – $3 house-brewed pints & $2 off mixed drinks!
The HTW broadcast and the tweetup begins at 6pm, with puck drop at 7pm. So join us for another fun Friday night, some Devils hockey, and some conversation in more than 140 characters!
As always, non-Devils fans (even Pens fans) are welcome. We’re all hockey fans!
