Devils @ Penguins, 11/12/07

Today’s the day Scott Stevens is inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, and we feel kind of bad for not having put up a post about him. The fact is, though, that we don’t really feel qualified to write about him. His HOF credentials had already been established by the time we came to [...]

Ducks @ Red Wings – Game 5

We need to start today, we think, with a bit of a disclaimer: IPB’s official sister, Kate The Great, was visiting this weekend (in anticipation of Schnookie’s birthday, which is actually next week. Gentle Reader, you may send presents accordingly) and brought with her the leftovers of a recent beer tasting party she hosted. We [...]

Devils @ Senators – Game 4

We’re starting this game tonight on a 3-hour TiVo delay because Pookie had to work late. The one benefit of not being able to watch it in realtime?

That was 60 minutes of classic Devils hockey; they gave up [...]

Elsewhere on Our TV — IPB Goes West

Our game(s) diary tonight joins Game 2 of the Sharks-Preds series in progress (we had to finish dinner and the NYT crossword puzzle before we could turn our full attention to the game). It is 2-1 Preds with 11:00 left in the 2nd when we are finally ready to get bloggin’. The Sharks are on [...]

Devils vs. Islanders 4/8/07 — Au Revoir, Leafs!

Islanders 3, Devils 2 (SO) Well this answers the question: Which organization do the Devils hate more, the Islanders or Leafs? A generation of Toronto Maple Leafs fans will hate our snack-sized Sergei Brylin for the rest of their lives thanks to this, the craziest game we’ve seen all year. There were times during this [...]
