Long Absence
Hey guys, sorry for the long hiatus but it's been a roller-coaster couple of weeks. First, the Christmas holiday obviously cut into my ability to write. It was a good one spent with family and friends, and as has been the case since back when I was in college, I was awash with a feeling of...

Attrition in the Battle for the Keystone Sack
Apparently Gordon Beckham getting more of a look at second isn't just because he's the bestest ever, as both Jayson Nix and Brent Lillibridge are ailing. Nix has a right quad injury, while Lilibridge has the flu. Or the flu-like. Both are expected to be out until Wednesday. Since our lord and...

Game 60: Devils @ Islanders
The New Jersey Devils will end their road trip on Long Island tonight, playing, well, the Islanders. The other two games on this road trip weren't all that great, with an awful 4-0 loss in Florida and a fortunate 3-2 shootout win in Tampa Bay. But the Devils did literally turn the corner in that...
The Devils Escape the Lightning with the Shootout Win
The New Jersey Devils had an awful first period, reminiscent of the 4-0 loss to Florida. The Devils tried to make the best of it, kept fighting to come back, and eventually succeeded. And they held on in the shootout to turn a 2-0 deficit after the first period into a 3-2 shootout win, securing...

San Jose Sharks (37-7-8) at Buffalo Sabres (28-21-6) 4:30 PM PST Apologies for the shorter and considerably less snarky gameday post today but I've got a bunch of crap to take care of in addition to (ugh) waiting in line at the DMV today.Is a 1-0-2 road trip considered a slump -- or is it just a...
Young, Blalock both sick
Michael Young and Hank Blalock are both suffering from the bug that hit Ian Kinsler last night. They are apparently both still planning on playing, but being under the weather and having to face Felix Hernandez isn't a real good thing. And if both Young and Blalock were to be unable to play, the...
