New Jersey, a state who's prime export is guidos, Is home to two Pro sport franchises. One is a basketball team that will eventually leave the state for Brooklyn, and another is a satanic cult lead by a fat goaltender. Who ever decided to grant pro sports teams to this armpit of a state should be throughly repremanded. Look, either put a team in New York or Philadelphia or don't make one at all. New Jersey: the sewage runoff state.
National Hockey League:
New Jersey Devils- A franchise who started out as the Kansas City Scouts, then transformed into the Colorado Rockies, then moved to New Jersey in 1982. Wayne Gretzky once so famously dubbed them a "Mickey Mouse Organization" after his Edmonton Oilers trounced them 13-4. The Devils would epitomize what it is to be from New Jersey for the first twelve years of their existance. That is to say, they were made fun of by pretty much everyone else. That would all change however in 1993 when rookie Martin Broduer was the standout net minder for the devils and they made a suprising run for the stanley cup. With Broduer in net the Devils would go on to win two more Stanley Cups and on the way to that Broduer has obtained the most wins out of any goalie in NHL history.
National Basketball League:
New Jersey Nets- Let me forward this by saying at the time I wrote this the 2009 New Jersey Nets were an astounding 0-10. This is all you really need to know about the Nets.
The New Jersey Nets started out as ABA franchise "The New Jersey Americans" The Nets have never won a NBA title, nor have they ever been taken as a serious playoff contender, even through at one point on their roster they featured a combination of Jason Kidd and Vince Carter. Mikhail Prokhorov, Russia’s richest man, recently became the owner of the Nets and has solidified his intent to build a stadium in Brooklyn, Great, now New York City can have two shitty basketball teams.
Are you looking forward to wendsday's post on Philly where I dig into my beloved city? Well, guess what? I'm not gonna give you the pleasure. Guest Blogger Lauren Krebs is gonna write her supposed distain for Philly (she's both a giants and yankees fan) and she's a woman who knows sports, so that instantly makes her a more appealing blogger than me.
