I grew up in New Jersey so I am a Devils fan. The nearest hockey rink was also the Devils practice rink for a while so we used to see them all the time.
Anyway, most people don't know the story behind the New Jersey Devils nickname. It is actually based on a New Jersey legend/myth:

According to that wikipedia entry;
Most accounts of the Jersey Devil legend attribute the creature to a "Mother Leeds", a supposed ***** although the tale has many variations. According to one version, she invoked the devil by saying "let it be the devil" while giving birth to her 13th child, and when the baby was born, it either immediately or soon afterward transformed into a devil like creature and flew off into the surrounding pines.[2][3] Other origins include Mrs. Leeds throwing the unwanted child into her basement (to let it die) but it started to grow fur and eventually escaped.
They named a hockey team after that????![]()

How old is she anyway? She doesn't look a day over a thousand.
This year, they didn't. John McLean was probably the worst coach in team history.

Actually if you scroll up the page and catch it at a quick glance, there's a resemlence to Barbara Bush.Hey, isn't that the grandmother from Happy Gilmore??? Lookin good!
Keep your pants on and you never worry about that. I had a friend tell me one time that it was 50% his wife's fault that he had an affair. I asked him if she pulled his pants down and shoved him onto the other woman. He stopped speaking to me for awhile. If someone wants to end a marriage, then that's one issue. But, to betray someone else and their vows is another matter.
Amen
i always told my wife, " just what i would want, another women givin me orders!i i have a hard enough time putting up with one, why would anyone want to have to deal with more of them and there feelings.
