Shot Accuracy in the Devils-Hurricanes Series (So Far)
Today is a lovely day in New Jersey, with the weather at a pleasant 80ish degrees and sunny. A great day to go out and enjoy it. And if you don't want to do that, there's a NFL draft going on that you should check out at some point this weekend and hope Kenny Britt may perhaps become a Giant...
NJ Devils & Martin Brodeur Shut Out Carolina Hurricanes 1-0
The New Jersey Devils took Game 5 in an impressive fashion, featuring a classic Martin Brodeur performance for his 23rd playoff shutout and to win Game 5 1-0. I like to thank all the commenters in the GameThread. Thanks for keeping it real, fairly clean, and supportive of the Devils. As usual, I...

Hurricanes Newsstand — April 22
In Game 4, the Hurricanes — courtesy Tim Gleason and Joe Corvo — were able to neutralize Zach Parise and the Devils' top line en route to a dramatic 4-3 last-second victory. While Carolina will need to keep their emotions in check heading into Game 5 in Newark, New Jersey will have to...
Carolina Wins Game 4 at Last Second & Brodeur Bump, 4-3
The New Jersey Devils played their worst hockey in the first two periods, while the Carolina Hurricanes just outplayed them.
