There wasn’t any champagne in our glasses this year, but hey, at least we got to a point where it was worth dusting the glass off in the first place. Thanks, Devils! And thanks to you, stalwart Gentle Reader, for making this already fun season even funner. We hope everyone has a fabulous summer.

And thank you to you ladies as well! Your posts are always good reads (hell, even the ones that are like three lines manage to be entertaining!)
Kudos!
I’m ready for next season!
Even if he’s lured by the siren song of the gopher state, I will love Zach forever because of this: http://espn.go.com/new-york/nhl/story/_/id/8048080/new-jersey-devils-zach-parise-says-not-considering-new-york-rangers
Zach has to know that, now that he’s gone on the record saying that, he’ll be crucified if he actually does end up signing with them. Heh.
Boxworthy would certainly resign. “But, you said we weren’t signing there. I’m sorry, sir, but I simply can’t spend the next several years of my life in that place. I’ve made arrangements with Mr. Lamoriello to be his new intern.”
Awww, Boxworthy would be such a great intern! And, unlike certain other recent Devils interns I can think of, there’s very little risk that he’ll fly the coop to go play with the Islanders. Hmph.
The only thing preventing Zach from signing with the Devils would be a complete financial meltodown of the franchise… crap.
Sooo, the next two drafts will be in NJ and then in Philly? Does this mean we’ll get to read some field trip reports on them? I hope so!
And congrats on picking Matteau, that’s pretty funny. Apparently the habs tried to trade to pick him.
And farewell, Parise…damn the draw of family and 13-year $100 million deals in Minnesota.
At least we have a long-term goalie plan in place…oh wait.
Now what?
Clearly, Lou’s mistake was in not signing J.P. to a lifetime ‘consulting’ contract when Zach was drafted.
Lou needs to get on this now and tie up all members of the extended Henrique and Larsson clans.
And once more we must ask, who might be next in line for the captaincy?
Might as well make it Brodeur, he runs the team anyway,
Anyone here??? I miss you guys.
IPB, blogging like a CBA negotiator.
LOL @ Myra’s Hub
But really I miss everyone too!
I think they started a new blog somewhere else and left without telling us. Hmph.
Stupid Lockout!
Everyone psyched up for opening night?
