Wasn't from twitter - it was on fb http://www.facebook.com/pages/Chico-Resch/167080077595

After seeing this article: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=547965 "Omark took a lot of heat for his spin-o-rama goal in a 4-3 shootout win over Tampa Bay on Dec. 10. He defended the move, saying he has always enjoyed entertaining a hockey crowd." This definitely didn't seem like someone who would fit in the Devils organization. Sorry for posting this if this blog does seem to be a waste of time. Like I mentioned, the only reason I even heard of it was because Chico posted it on his fb. Or maybe he has an intern posting for him?

So I haven't been here in a while (apologies!) but saw this and wondered if this blog was worth checking up on: http://statusquoblog.weebly.com/rumor-mill.html I saw that Chico posted it on fb last week. The one that caught my eye was the mention here: "11/9 - The Devils are in definite talks with the Oilers, and are interested in Linus Omark. The Oilers want a young defenseman but the Devils have made it clear that Larrson is out of the picture." Linus Omark???

Hrmm... The Devils of course Kings Stars Canucks Blues Islanders Bruins Ducks Sharks Avalance and some other team from New York whose name escapes me. Ehh... they're probably not worth mentioning then.

Seriously. Considering how many cameras are in there, I'm surprised it took this long.

Having On The Fly broadcast for (seemingly) the bulk of their daily schedule is a bit annoying, but I'm just glad there is an NHL Network. Having no access to Center Ice and nearly any Devils televised games for nearly three years when I moved out here (my last apartment did not allow Direct TV) I'm still in the "thank the hockey gods they're even broadcasting rangers games" mode. Okay. That's a bit of an exaggeration...

"Doc, I like wraps. I like veggie wraps, chicken wraps... but I know what David Clarkson likes. He likes the rubber wrap." I had to rewind this several times I was laughing so hard!

They didn't even show this on the Sucks ... err. Ducks telecast. I only saw this on the recaps on NHL On The Fly. I wonder why?

Ouch!!

Ahhh crap! We never noticed him. We thought we saw Billy Bob Thorton in 118 but we weren't entire sure.

I just never heard that term before... Guess I've lead too much of a sheltered life lol

Seems like it's just Madden showing class. Personally I hope he doesn't give it up but he's right - it's just a number.

Being in SoCal, we had no choice but to watch the Ducks telecast. Their "announcers" (and I use that term loosely) made the following comments during the game: 1) They called Elias the Devils "top scorer". Uhh... correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that be Parise? Yes, Patrik has more assists, but Zach has more goals. 2) They called #20 "Mike" Pandolfo. He changed his name?? 3) They called Johnny Oduya "undersized". "Undersized"?? Explain that one to me! 4) Kept whining how Clarskon "interfered" with Gigure for the Devils 2nd goal. 5) This one really confused us. They called Collin White t

That last line should have said: "Greene completed his hat trick of ignominy late in the third period, when he dropped his gloves and then dropped himself"

And here's a couple of other pics from last night. They were taken on my cell so apologies for the crappy quality: And: The first one was taken at the end of the 2nd period. The second one I think I took right after.
