It seems like forever since the New Jersey Devils have played hockey. Without any representation at the 2012 NHL All-Star game, the Devils players had a chance to get away from the game and relax. I hope they used their time wisely because the next five games can make or break the season. Hopefully the players and coaching staff are refreshed and refocused as they return to the task...
