From an August 20, 2010 article, I bring comments from Devils fans and my responses. Click on the link to read all of the comments but the first few are especially fun. They say revenge is a dish best served cold...is it getting chilly in here? Then this guy Oscar chimes in And I gave a reply Further commentary would just be rubbing it in and that's not necessary.

Poor Greg Wyshynski, Rich Zach Parise
January 31, 2012 By

TOP TEN THINGS OVERHEARD AT THE NEW JERSEY DEVILS’ HOLIDAY PARTY
December 12, 2010 By
The New Jersey Devils and their 8-19-2 record are taking a well-earned day off for their annual holiday party. Surly and I met and talked last night about my infiltration therein and I am happy to report that the angry Lou Lamoriello mask worked well. What really sold it though was walking around with a constant face twitch while mumbling "$100 million...$100 million...$100 million..." So, without … [Read more...]

Surrender of first round draft pick in one of the years 2011 to 2014, at New Jersey's election.
