Would it be okay to add the record set back in 1988 by Patrik Sundstrom (while playing for the Devils) for the most points in a NHL playoff game? It still stands today, but it was tied a year later by Mario Lemieux, so no one has broken it as of yet. The information is listed on Sundstrom's own wiki page, so its not new information. DeadEndX ( talk) 18:08, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
Would it be worth adding the overflow radio stations that carries Devils broadcasts? Anyone know what the rules are for overflow games? Since moving from WABC to WFAN, it's no longer as easy as going to Radio Disney (1560) to find the broadcast. Sme3 ( talk) 15:41, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
There is a line in the first paragraph which reads: Under current general manager Lou Lamoriello, the Devils have made the playoffs in 18 out of the last 20 seasons, including each of the last 11. At what point is it safe to include the 2008-09 season (which would increment all of these numbers by one)? Ordinarily, we don't include the present year for statistics but there would be a notation to that effect. Such a notation would seem out of place in the first paragraph. - sme3 ( talk) 20:05, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
The color of the headline text in the infobox and some of the boxes towards the bottom of the article (with a red background) have been changing back and forth between white and black for quite awhile. Right now, the colors are inconsistent (white-on-red at the top, black-on-red at the bottom). What color should it be? Personally, I think white-on-red is more legible, but I don't know if there's a policy. - Sme3 ( talk) 12:53, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
This section is ridiculously biased and has nothing to do with the Devils style of play, it's more a rip on the team. Also to the above poster, you say that Lemaire is going to 'bring the trap back'. The trap never left, every team plays at one point or another. You clearly dont watch hockey if you think the trap is an embarrasment and is going to ruin the league because like I said before, every team is doing it.
"This style of play, coupled with mediocre attendance and television ratings that continue to plague the franchise (despite the organization having a perennially successful on-ice product) led the team to be chastised by the media and hockey purists for "making the NHL boring".
What does any of this have to do with their style of play? 'Boring' is in the opinion of people and what do attendance and television ratings have to do with a section about style of play, they clearly do not belong their. If these are so called hockey purists, then apparently they don't recognize the Canadien teams of the 1970s either, because they also played the trap. Sound defensive hockey and fundentals is more of a purist hockey vision than a 6-5 game.
The section also claims that "although the Devils have twice led the Eastern Conference in Goals scored, once leading the NHL in goals scored (295 GF in 2000–2001)" and then again "Devils coach Larry Robinson asserted that the Montreal Canadiens (who also won the Cup many times) he played on in the 1970s used a form of the trap, though it did not have a name", "Under Brent Sutter, the team adopted less of a trap and more of a transitional, aggressive forechecking style of play which also emphasized puck possession and instilled the cycle to start the 2007–2008 season."
All three of those quotes are contradictions to the original arguement that the Devils are the only team to ever play the trap, and that their style of play is original. EVERY TEAM in the NHL plays the trap at some point or another, and during the late 90s to the lockout every team played like that, the Devils just mastered it.
I vote to remove this section or it definitely needs a revamp. 69.115.47.105 ( talk) 04:37, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
I can provide screenshots for the small mbox issue, if this issue is really important to you.

Jagr is currently wearing an A against the Rangers, and I remember him wearing one another time this year, but it appears he is not a regular appointee. With Salvador out last year and this, theyve had 3 As and now with Elias out, it looks like Jagr is taking the third A. I cant find any sources in a google search, but I can see it on screen. Should we update this or make some note of it?-- Metallurgist ( talk) 01:35, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
This article currently has a variety of issues that make me concerned about its' status as a featured article. A lack of proper citations, some dead links, unreliable sources, and prose issues. Before a featured article review, the idea is a talk page discussion should take place, so that leaves me here. This article needs a lot of work to meet the current featured article standards. Is anyone willing to put in the work? Gloss 22:00, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
@ Giants2008: About that last statement you removed for the jerseys in 2007–08, I found this - if you think it's worth re-adding. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt. G loss 03:14, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
This text was quite superior to what is there now; it was reverted with no discussion, although it had consensus at Wikipedia:Featured article review/New Jersey Devils/archive1. I suggest restoring it. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 01:21, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I am writing this message to ask other editors about a proposed edit change? I am requesting to change the wording in the lead paragraph of the New Jersey Devils article to this version. Specifically, the reason why I am proposing this edit change is because I feel like it reads better, and I also feel like an average reader of the New Jersey Devils article would maybe think it reads better too. I am writing this message in order to try to reach WP:CONSENSUS with other editors as to how the lead paragraph should be written. Please feel free to respond to this message. I'm not expecting to claim ownership; rather, I'm intending to start a dialogue and reach consensus as to how the lead paragraph should be written.
