A Lou Lamoriello Surprise

Lou Lamoriello was matter of fact about it but what he said on Saturday night was more than a throwaway line. Chatting on camera with MSG's Steve Cangialosi, during the "Hockey Night Live" show, the Devils boss unequivocally asserted that the Devils will trim Martin Brodeur's goaltending time.

Devils: The Sleeper Coach Out There

Devils: What Does Lou Do?

"Do what's right and do it now!"

Devils: The Jacques Lemaire Era is Over!

The bombshell announcement made by both the Devils coach and his boss Lou Lamoriello on Monday morning at The Rock spawns more questions than answers:

Devils: Over and Out!

Like a pancake that has been flipped and then devoured, the Devils and their playoff debacle can be summed up in three words -- OVER AND OUT!

Devils: At Last, the Underdog!

As Jacques Lemaire's Devils face the humiliation of first round playoff elimination at home on Thursday night, it's worth noting that there is one ray of hope for victory over the Flyers at The Rock.

Devils: Can Lemaire Pull Another Surprise -- And Win?

On the day before Game 2 of the Devils-Flyers Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, a couple of New Jersey fans were knocking around ideas about how Jacques Lemaire could get his hockey club back even after the stunning opening-game defeat at The Rock.

Brodeur: Can He Steal One? (As in Game Two)

Martin Brodeur enjoyed a series of "nights" between October and the end of March, breaking records left, right and center. But that was then -- as in "Regular Season" -- and this is now ("Playoffs") which means that it's time for Mister Goalie to make a statement on Friday night at Prudential Center.

Devils: How to Lie With Statistics -- Maybe

How can the Division champion Devils be considered underdogs against the Flyers?

Devils Have Upper Hand Over Flyers

Yes, the Flyers won five of the six regular season meetings against the Devils: a statistic not to be overlooked. Philadelphia dominated the season series at times, including a 5-1 victory at Wachovia Center March 28 that saw Martin Brodeur chased from the game after two periods. But make no mistake: the Devils are favored to win this series for good reason.

Devils Must Solve Recent Power-Play Woes

Five of their last six home games at Prudential Center have been played before sellout crowds. Of the five local NHL and NBA teams in the metropolitan area, there is now an excellent chance that the Devils will be the only playoff participant this spring. Their fan base is galvanized, but puzzled: unable to project whether this team has what it takes to make a run to the Stanley Cup Finals, or will be hard pressed to escape the first round of the post season.

Devils' Win Over Bruins Sets Stage for Showdown with Pens

In a tilt that had most of the New York metropolitan area rooting them on (the game meant as much to the Rangers as it did to the Devils), New Jersey pounced on every loose puck early and chased Boston goaltender Tim Thomas after one period. They did just enough to hold on for a 3-2 win, setting the stage for Wednesday?s showdown with the Penguins that will determine first place in the Atlantic Division.
