It has been 81 days since we last saw the New Jersey Devils<\/a> play hockey. Earlier this week, the NHL had teams put their schedules out onto the internet, and I talked about my pros and cons for the Devils\u2019 schedule yesterday<\/a>. It is good timing: tonight marks the rough halfway point between the end of the Devils\u2019 2024-25 season and their 2025-26 season. With 82 days until the puck drops in Carolina for the Devils\u2019 return to playing games that matter, I figured this would be a good time for an off-beat post.<\/p>\n

I am thankful because New Jersey does not currently find itself in a high-humidity heat wave. With only low-mid 80s temperatures and lots of sun around the state today, it\u2019s as good a weekend as any to get outside and enjoy yourself. Last week, I went kayaking just outside of one of New Jersey\u2019s state parks, and I should probably find something to do today. Maybe I will go for a walk.<\/p>\n

Maybe some of you find yourselves going to the beach this weekend, or maybe it\u2019s a good day to have friends over for grilling and sitting outside. Whatever it is, I encourage you all to do it on one of the most perfect weather days of the summer.<\/p>\n

I will be coming back here tomorrow with a regular article in the morning, unless something I\u2019m not expecting happens today, like a Luke Hughes extension.. For those of you who applied to my writer posting, thank you<\/a>. I have received some good submissions, but due to some unexpected events earlier this week, I have not been as quick as I wanted to be with wrapping that up. So, I am still sending emails out. If you have not heard back from me, don\u2019t worry. I will get back to responding to applications this afternoon and this evening, if I cannot get a couple emails off in the morning.<\/p>\n

But, seriously, enjoy yourselves today. Go for a hike, go to the beach, go on the lake, go hang out with your friends in the backyard: just do not sit inside all day. Get some sunscreen and drink a bottle of water and get after it. We only have half of the offseason left to mentally prepare for Devils hockey. And if you want to share a bit about your summer activities, please leave your comments below, and thanks for reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It has been 81 days since we last saw the New Jersey Devils play hockey.
