This is my professional page. I post about work as I did in previous years with the Devils.

Been a while since I posted here, but just dropping in to say hello and invite you to start getting up to speed for the Winter Olympics. We have short track speed skating airing tomorrow at 2 pm on CNBC. Here is a bit of a look behind the scenes at my preparation.

Game Four on the way! Our @DevilsMSGN coverage starts at 3 on MSGSN.
Things I’m watching:
1. Defense: The top defensive pairs have been workhorses the last couple of games.
2. Unlikely heroes. Devils depth lines were good in OT. Can they create offense today.

Our @DevilsMSGN pregame coverage is an hour long today. Join us starting at 7 on MSGSN.
Things I’m watching:
1. The chess game. What matchups does Sheldon Keefe look for with last change.
2. Jonas Siegenthaler: Keefe was optimistic he’d play this morning.
3. Raucous Rock crowd!

Devils and Canes from Raleigh! Our game one coverage starts at 2:30 on MSGSN! Just one reason to watch today: Playoff Hockey! Let’s go!

Good morning and Happy Easter! Playoff game day! Join our crew for Devils-Canes Game One. Our coverage starts at 2:30 on MSGSN. Let’s go!

Good morning everyone! Gameday 82 for the #NJDevils  tonight. It’s been another incredibly fun ride this year and I’m glad this one continues on to the postseason. Our friends at TNT have the broadcast tonight. Our crew will be back with you for game one!

3 reasons to watch our coverage of Devils and Bruins tonight at 6:30 on MSGSN:
1. Devils are back on the road for the first time since March.
2. Looking for response after last week’s loss to Boston.
3. Expecting Boston native Marc McLaughlin to make his NJD debut.

3 reasons to catch Devils-Penguins with our crew starting at 6:30 on MSGSN:
1. Devils have clinched, four games to fine tune before the playoffs.
2. Devils preaching urgency and energy after Tuesday.
3. Sidney Crosby’s consistency is remarkable. 21 points in last 14.

Good morning! It’s another #NJDevils  game day at The Rock. The Devils host the Penguins and our coverage starts at 6:30 on MSGSN.

We do the first round for in-market viewers. There will also be a national broadcast.

The playoffs are a clean slate. You play 82 games to get there and be in the room where it happens. Devils are in the game now and have a chance to make some playoff magic.

Last night aside, I think the Devils have found a more consistent ingredient for success over the past couple of weeks. When they play with energy and structure, they put themselves in position to compete each game.

Couple more thoughts on the #NJDevils  clinching:
The playoffs are a culmination of the full body of work over 82 games. The Devils played well enough early in the year to absorb the bumpiness of the last couple of months.

The back-to-back in December between these two teams was nasty. Two clubs that don’t like each other. This series could have some serious snarl.

Devils-Canes is the first playoff matchup to be locked in. The teams split the season series with the Devils winning twice in New Jersey and Carolina winning twice in Raleigh.

For the second time in three years the #njdevils are headed to the Stanley Cup Playoffs! Devils officially clinch their spot tonight and are destined for a match up with the Carolina Hurricanes. Cannot wait for postseason hockey again!

3 reasons to watch our coverage of Devils and Bruins:
1. Devils clinch playoff spot with at least a point.
2. Devils looking to win four straight.
3. Nico Hischier is on a heater with 5 G, 2 A in his last 3.

Good morning! It’s a #NJDevils  game day! New Jersey hosts Boston this evening and with just a point, clinches a spot in the playoffs. Our broadcast comes your way at 6:30 on MSG.

The Devils magic number is now 1. New Jersey can clinch a playoff spot with one point tomorrow against Boston!

With Columbus's loss to Toronto tonight, the #NJDevils  magic number is now 3. The Devils will have a chance to clinch on Tuesday night if the Rangers earn one point or less in their match up with Tampa on Monday.

Heading into today, the Devils lead the Rangers by 8 points. New Jersey has 6 games left, NYR 7. Devils are 10 points up on CBJ (8 games remaining) and 11 up on Islanders (7 games remaining).

Good morning! It’s a big #NJDevils  game day. The Devils host the Rangers this afternoon. ABC has the broadcast today starting at 12:30.

Mentioned it on the broadcast so you may have heard by now, but was back on the ice skating with Dougie today per Sheldon.
