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
Last night, The New Jersey Devils lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning for the third time this season. With that, they completed an unfortunate season sweep of the Devils, who seem to have reached rock bottom. In the words of every 90’s sitcom dad ever, I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed. The result of the
Last season, the New Jersey Devils (9-11-5) swept their season series against the Tampa Bay Lightning (19-7-1). Now, the shoe is on the other foot, as the Bolts have won both games played so far in blowout fashion.

Erik Karlsson is one of (if not the) league’s best defenseman, and it looks like he will be traded by the Ottawa Senators, sooner than later.

Well, it is over. The New Jersey Devils have been eliminated from the playoffs, and we are now left to figure out what to do with our lives. Better ourselves and others around us? Nah. Time to spend every night listening to Mike Millbury and company while watching match ups that don’t affect the Devils.
