Boulton fined by NHL the maximum amount allowable under the current CBA for a slash on Rupp last night.
The Devils social media hub (Mission Control) run by the Devils Generals have won two awards: "One in the Digitally/Socially Engaged Brand of the Year, and one for Best Use of Digital/Social in an Arts/Culture/Entertainment Campaign." The Devils own the social media market in the NHL and are even making money from it.
I am gonna be at Teddy's tomorrow Tuesday to watch the game. If you have never been to Teddy's it is my favorite hockey bar in Seattle. They always have the Devils games on since Hans, one of the bartenders, is a Devils fan. Hope to see any Seattle NJ Devils fans there!
Apparently, the Devils have the largest booster club in the NHL. Surely some members of the DFC read ILWT and so would be interested to know that the NHL Booster Club Convention will be in Florida this summer. If you're a member, then check out the link. If not, well, consider becoming a booster first. Thanks to Donny of Litter Box Cats for the heads up.
Not great stats at all in the AHL (3g, 3a in 17 games), but did suffer a broken hand that could have possibly hindered him. Anyway, at this point I'd rather have him as a 4th/3rd liner (in injury cases) than some of the other players. Lines at today's practice; Parise-Zubes-Kovy Sykie-Elias-Clarky Poni-JJ-Bernier Boulton-Carter/Mills-Janssen Salvador-Fayne Volchenkov-Larsson Greene-Foster Tao
Per the Albany Times Union. A-Devs bring in a nice crowd of 8,194. I remember going to Rats games around the time they won the Calder Cup and seeing crowds like this. Hopefully they can keep it up, and Albany can keep this franchise around.
Want to talk about the 2012 All Stars Skills Competition despite that there are no Devils in it? Well, you can do it here. You can also talk about whatever about the Devils too. Expect a short post from me later this evening. The link goes to who's doing what in each event.
Use the comments section here to talk about the 2012 All Star Fantasy Draft that no Devils are involved in. Alternatively: talk about whatever related to the Devils. (P.S. Link goes to the NHL's live chat for this event.)
