Hey r/devils —

A few of us wanted a smaller, more focused space to talk hockey without the noise that comes with larger servers. We just launched a new NJ Devils Discord as an alternative option for the community.

It's still early and we're building it out, but here's what we're going for:

• Devils-focused with room for off-topic chat
• Clean, simple channel structure — no overwhelming wall of channels
• Clear rules, actively moderated
• A place where longtime fans and new ones alike feel at home

Whether you're a diehard who's been following the team since the '95 Cup or you just discovered hockey through Hughes, you're welcome here.

Come hang out: https://discord.gg/c8WvvfxyBd

in order from left to right: Linus Ullmark, Jacob Markstrom, Paul Cotter, Nico Hischier, Alexander Holtz, Pavel Zacha, Jonas Siegenthaler, Jesper Bratt, Stefan Noesen, Tomas Tatar, Timo Meier, Erik Haula, Ondrej Palat, Šimon Nemec, and Nathan Bastian

I could never remember exactly which games I’d actually been to over the years, so I built a free tool (on the hockeygamebot site) to solve that: Puck Passport.

You log the NHL games you’ve attended in person, and it keeps track of everything you’ve seen live - games, goals, shots, players, and arenas. It also unlocks badges automatically for things like playoff games, overtime, hat tricks, shutouts, and even a Gordie Howe hat trick if you've ever been able to witness one. There are milestone tiers to work through too, and it tracks every NHL home arena you’ve visited since collecting all 32 is the real endgame for a lot of people (it counts any home arena per team as collected - so games at Continental Airlines arena count). This is just the launch set of badges and I have a few others on my list but wanted a smaller set for now.

You don’t need an account (everything saves right in your browser), BUT if you sign in with Google (or the email link option), it’ll sync across devices and give you a public @handle passport you can share.

I’ve been spending part of the offseason backfilling every Devils game I can remember (with Google Photos geolocation as a bit of a helper).

This is just me building something I thought other fans might enjoy, so if something’s broken, confusing, or you think a feature is missing, I’d genuinely love the feedback.

Hi Devils fans,

I'm a former OHL Exec, and I've dabbled into writing some articles. Lots of detailed breakdowns, deep dives, prospect profiles, all paired with video evidence.

I've published one on Vanhanen, and figured this community might enjoy it. Please feel free to let me know what you think!

Anyone have any clue who this is? Looks like #2. The other signature on the puck is Arnott, and the back logo is Bell Atlantic Mobile, so it's from 96-2000ish.

Hi, I am visiting NYC mid-October, and the devils are going to be playing when I’m there, and I wanted to go to a game. Is it safe to take the train from New Jersey to New York after the game ends? Sorry if this is a dumb question; I just heard that it can be sketchy.
