Ralph at TiqIQ wanted me to tell you this: "Need tix to the SOLD OUT Devils/Caps game? We got 'em. Offer $72 on "3-Star" tix & save $32 off list price w/ NO FEES." Well, get to it if you're interested.
All Devils placed on waiversThursday (Sestito was only one on camp roster) cleared. As @tsnbobmckenzie reported,Butler on waivers today.

Interesting move, to say the least. Does this mean Matteau made the team? Free agent signing ([gulp] Gomez?) in the works? Hard to say what to make of this right now.
The fine people at TiqIQ want to let me pass on their deal for the Devils' opening game of the 2013 season. The link is above, they also sent this message: "KOVALGATE is over, Zajac's here to stay, & Salvador's Captain. Invade Nassau from $49 this SAT vs NYI." Well, get to it.
Need 1, 3, 5, or 7 more players - or if you were there last year and haven't come back yet. Do it now. Password is Lamoriello (if that doesn't work, try lower case l, yahoo doesn't show it to me :-)
Vanderbeek has assumed control of Brick City's share. Finally.
I don't ever recall this being discussed. I know it might sound lame but I was on youtube tonight reliving last year's game 6 against the rangers when i thought i heard something crazy. Fast forward to exactly 1:32:55, what does Doc say? Am i going crazy here????
The New York Islanders will follow the Nets to Brooklyn ... but not right away. The team will announce the move to Brooklyn in 2015 at 1 PM today, Wednesday, October 24.

NJD Kovalchuk joins Ovechkin saying he could stay in Russia (via Sportbox) More info from Puck Daddy : "I can play in the KHL for the whole year and I'll do it with great pleasure," the Russian explained. "I am glad that no matter where we play we get a full house and very good support from the spectators. And it's also nice to play in a good team. I'd love to compete in the playoffs for SKA. But if suddenly I'll have to leave for the NHL, I don't think it'll be a big problem for the team as we've got four equal lines. Basically, I don't rule out staying in Russia in the case of a reduction of our salaries in the NHL," the player stressed. "I just don't understand why they needed to sign such contracts? Or they were just hoping to cut the percentage later? I believe that the contracts must be respected and this is a fundamental question. There's no way the head of the [NHL Players'] Association and the hockey players will agree on the wage reduction."
I was watching Malkin and Gonchar play and the announcers just reported that the A-Train has a broken ankle.
Yes it's Deadspin but it's still an interesting take if the league had taken Bain Capital's offer back in 2005 and how the firm would've restructured the league.
