Tomorrow morning is Locker Clean Out Day for the 2007-2008 New Jersey Devils, which means there will be much exchanging of memorabilia, plenty of signing of team pictures, and many teary “we’ll be BFFs forever!” goodbyes. In short, it will be like the last day of sleep-away summer camp. (We think. We’ve [...]

Another Sunday night, another woolgathering session (now with less wool!).
1. One of the most appealing aspects of watching sports, for us, is that it affords us the chance to see human beings excel in acts of individual and team greatness. We’re not athletic ourselves, so it’s hugely compelling to watch people who are, [...]

After the way they’ve lost their last two games, with their disinterested, lackadaisical play, we’ve decided we hate all the Devils and want them to suffer minor painful mishaps between now and Friday’s game with the Rangers that will cause them intense discomfort, but no serious injuries.

After a lazy weekend spent entertaining Katebits (read: plugging in our PS2 and letting her play games to her heart’s content — we’re such grown-ups), we realize that the Devils have hit the midpoint of the season.
