Yes, the Devils lost and it's frustrating. However, I do believe that this loss won't hurt them in the long run, due to how the way they played this game. It was just a tic for tac type of game, ad the Devils just came out on the wrong spectrum of it this time around. They fought hard, unfortunately luck just wasn't on their side...what else is new?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust.

Recently, the NHL fired their longtime referee, Tim Peel, for accidently admitting that he assigned the Nashville Predators an unnecessary penalty during their game against the Detroit Red Wings. Also, past guest on this show, Kurtis Gabriel, is making big time headlines, however for all of the wrong reasons. And finally, how do our players stack up against a top tier team like the Washington Capitals? I think we have a chance.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust. Betonline.ag!

The New Jersey Devils continue to impress during their little hot streak. This time they came out victorious over a struggling Flyers team, and things are more interesting out east. Also, our young rookies are really kicking it into high gear, and they deserve a lot of credit for how well they've been playing. We have a lot of diamonds in the rough type of players.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust. Betonline.ag!

The Devils were able to take two games away from the Pittsburgh Penguins. Meaning that the East Division standings has gotten a little more interesting, this is kind of a follow up from Saturday's episode. Also, I am seeing some minor improvements from the Devils' specialty team units, particularly with their power play. And finally, there's some notable upcoming games that the Devils need to have circled.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust.

The last Devils game has got me thinking big things, hopefully they don't let me down. Because things are heating up in the East Division, especially if the Devils continue their mini hot streak against the Penguins. Also, trade talks are also starting to heat, especially with Kyle Palmieri and his contract situation. Should we trade or keep Palms before April 12th? Well, there's a lot to discuss.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust. Betonline.ag!

My prediction was once again wrong for the Devils, but this time for the better. They were able to upset the Pittsburgh Penguins, by coming out victorious by a score of 3-2. Scott Wedgewood stepped up big time in the absence of Mackenzie Blackwood. Also, Jack Hughes has completely changed the gears for the Devils' offense.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust.

For the first time this year we will be playing the Pittsburgh Penguins in a three game set. I'm trying to get any high hopes, so just expect the Devils to maybe only get at least one point in this series. Also, after our win against the Sabres, they fired their coach. Similar to the Devils, the Sabres has a COVID-19 outbreak amongst their team. So, I decided to revisit our COVID postponement and see what went wrong.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust.
