New Jersey Devils Tickets

New Jersey Devils information, 2005-2006 saw the 5th division title in the last ten years for the New Jersey Devils. The Devils also saw their relationship with Larry Robinson end with his resignation in December last year. This move sparked GM Lou Lamoriello to take over the helm leading the Devils to a 32-18 record under his brief tenure as a coach. After falling to the Carolina Hurricanes in the conference semifinals, Lamoriello decided to hire Claude Julien (ex-Nordiques defensemen and most recently former Canadiens head coach) to compliment the Devils stingy defense ethic.

On the offensive side of the puck, the Devils were able to prove that they can score goals just as well as any other team. Not a difficult task with guys like Brian Gionta (48G-41A) and Scott Gomez (33G-51A) leading the way. Even with Patrick Elias missing the first half of the season due to injury, the Devils still found ways to score goals with the help of rookie Zach Parise, veteran Jamie Langenbrunner helping out on the power-play, and Brian Rafalski notching 43 assists. With the possibility of a new arena next season, this may very well be the last year the Devils play in the Continental Airlines Arena. With the offensive power trio of Gionta-Gomez-Elias, the always-reliable defense unit led by Martin Brodeur, and the emergence of Zach Parise, the Devils should give fans plenty to cheer about as one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference again. Should be a fitting end if this is to be the last year at the Continental Airlines Arena.
