Well, Gentle Reader, it’s now officially the off-season again (we know, we know — it’s felt like the off-season around here for weeks), and we’re sure you’re wondering what’s in store over the next few hockeyless months here at IPB. You’re probably also worrying that this interminable four-month span going to be as bereft [...]

There will be no game diary this evening, Gentle Reader. Try to contain your disappointment. Please, all that clothes rending and hair pulling is unbecoming! Instead, enjoy this open thread! Here’s hoping for better results than last night, eh?

It is creeping closer, Gentle Reader. The end of the off-season is almost upon us, but while that offers some small solace in this misbegotten, hockeyless night, it still doesn’t answer the question of “What in the hell am I supposed to do when there still isn’t any hockey?” Well, we know we’ve [...]

Following last summer’s angsting over whether the Devils would re-sign UFA Patty Elias, this summer is looking surprisingly stress-free. Sure Rafalski and Gomez are big names, but this year’s playoffs proved the Devils have plenty of capable young defensmen to fill Raffie’s shoes, and, well, seven years of Gomer have convinced us we [...]

Okay, so the confetti has settled, the Cup’s been skated, and now it’s time for all of us to look deep into our hearts and figure out what in the hell we’re supposed to do between now and October. And while we won’t pretend to think IPB can fill that void in everyone’s lives, [...]

The issue of surviving the endless months of hockey-less summer has been raised recently in this space and we hoped we’d be able to offer a humorous list of things one could do to pass the off-season. Only, once we got started, we realized there isn’t anything even remotely funny about the off-season. [...]
