Love Him or Hate Him, Pierre McGuire is a Staple of the NHL Soundtrack

5/20/2016

Pierre McGuire. You know him. The bald-headed, always-opinionated, frequently-shouting NBC Sports analyst. He’s spent nearly two decades in broadcasting, working on TSN in Canada before becoming a staple to the American broadcast team. Never one to shy away from voicing what’s on his mind, McGuire is not unlike his NBC-counterparts Mike Milbury and Jeremy Roenick. […]

Why Canadian Fans Should Cheer on the Stars

4/14/2016

In a follow up to Wednesday’s piece, where I criticized the notion that Canadians will be disinterested by this year’s NHL post-season due to absence of a Canadian market for the first time since 1970, I present today’s argument as to which one of the 16 American teams fans of the seven Canadian teams should send […]

The 2016 NHL Playoffs: Is Canada Really Disinterested?

4/13/2016

A year ago, five of the seven Canadian teams were getting set for the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Among them included two all-Canadian series.

Though it’ll take more than festive cuisine for New Jersey to rebound from its largest defeat […]

Martin Brodeur: A Lone New Jersey Sports Icon

2/9/2016

Martin Brodeur will have his jersey sent to the rafters on Tuesday night, when the organization where he spent parts of 21 seasons retire his jersey.

Devils Options for PTO’s

8/14/2015

If August is typically the calm before the storm in the NHL season then it’s only fitting that a decent crop of free agent talent still remains ripe for the picking.

Devils, Shero Cautious Spenders So Far This Summer

7/10/2015

Evaluating the Devils’ free agent acquisitions won’t be as thorough as past seasons, which have seen New Jersey as an active competitor in the seldom-success story that is July 1. For fans, addressing scoring was apparent heading into the off-season. The team was shut out 19 times last season, winning just one of those contests. Despite […]
