Where the Devils Won't Get Their Due - VINCENT M. MALLOZZI, NY Times

Writer spends most of the article criticizing the move, on the grounds that the Devils fanbase isn't loyal enough to travel to games in Newark:

Despite winning 3 Stanley Cups in the last 11 seasons, the Devils have the misfortune of possessing one of the most disloyal fan bases in the history of sports. Are these same fair-weather Meadowlanders who regularly left thousands of seats empty during the best of Stanley Cup times now going to drive — at night — to a more-menacing area to storm the gates of their new palace?
