You can't make this stuff up...
Well you could but it just wouldn't be as good...
Philip Karpinski was doing a little driving in Bayonne Wednesday night. He'd had some adult beverages and was minding his own business when a utility pole jumped in front of his car causing him to collide with said pole (You know how poles have a habit of doing this especially after you have a .18 equivalent swimming through your blood). Karpinski was no dummy, he wasn't sticking around to take the rap for this mess.
If only Karpinski's bumper with his license plate felt the same way.
Police were able to follow the trail of auto fluids from the downed pole to where the incriminating bumper was found. From there police went to Karpinski's house where he admitted hitting the pole and taking it on the lam. He was arrested and charged with several counts the least of which should have been littering.

With their win in Detroit tonight the Devils have helped create quite the NHL record. Never before had ANY division had four teams with 100 points. With New Jersey's win tonight they'll make it two divisions with four 100 point teams this year. The Atlantic (Rangers, Penguins, Flyers and Devils) and the Central (St. Louis, Detroit, Nashville and Chicago). These upcoming playoffs are gonna be fun!

It's the Jersey Devil vs the Nain Rouge tonight
Two legends collide tonight at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit as the Jersey Devil takes on the Nain Rouge. While the legend of the Jersey Devil is well known to many perhaps Detroit's own ghastly legend, the Nain Rouge, isn't. Have a read on the Nain Rouge, or Red Devil of Detroit if you prefer, while you contemplate the actual New Jersey Devils taking on the actual Detroit Red Wings.
The #6 seed in the east takes on the #4 seed in the west tonight at the Joe. Would it be the worst thing for the Devils to you know, whoops lose a game and finish 6th with a much better chance against Florida than Malkin, Crosby, and the Penguins? No way. In fact it would benefit them. Rest assured the Devils who are on a 4 game winning streak want to continue their sharp play heading into next week's tournament. To wind up in 5th place however the Devils need only to lose one or have the Flyers win once to make this last paragraph moot. David Clarkson should play tonight though no word on who is replacing oft-injured rookie Jacob Josefson. Late last evening Stephen Gionta was ruled out from the trip to Detroit.
The Red Wings may well show a greater sense of urgency as they are in the #4 slot and trying to keep it, currently one point ahead of Nashville with both having two games left. The Red Wings played last night in St. Louis beating the homestanding Blues 3-2 in a shootout. The bad news for Devils fans in that injured players like Nick Lidstrom, Pavel Datsyuk and the Mule, Johan Franzen appear to now be in much better form then a few days ago.
You all know Johnny's a Red Wings fan but tries to give the Devils love when deserved and give them a fair shake. Detroit played last night on the road in a very labor intensive game. If they can keep it close for a couple periods the Devils could sneak out with a point or two. If New Jersey were to give up a couple early goals our guess is that contentment with the #6 seed may set in and the Wings could win big. Either way Johnny will still be at the Rock Saturday cheering on the Devils in what will most likely be a tame nobody get hurt kind of affair.
Oh, and C'mon Buffalo, we'd love to see a Henrik Lundqist vs. Ryan Miller first round matchup.

This is a public service announcement -- With corner kicks
Are you a soccer fan? Did you know if you have a certain cable plan you can get both FOX Soccer and GOLTV in high def? Maybe Johnny's late to the party but if you're looking for both channels in high definition try channels 1513 and 1512. Yeah, no really, channel numbers in the thousands. Who knew? Johnny just got there quite by accident. Now he can hear the gal's voice on GOLTV say "You are watching (pregnant pause) La Liga..." in high def.
A bit of follow-up on the whole Devils vs Newark story below
Yesterday Cory Booker came out, dropped the gloves, and proceeded to hammer Devils' owner Jeff Vanderbeek over the financial issues going on between the city of Newark and the Devils. We give you Mayor Booker:
“What Jeff Vanderbeek has proven after five years of trying of trying to work with him [is] that he is a highfalutin, high-class huckster and hustler,” Booker said. “He came into the city with a mouthful of promises, but a pocket full of lies.”
“I am outraged,” Booker added, and said he is not sure of what legal avenues the city has. He also accused Vanderbeek of reneging on a promise to build a community recreation center.
There you go. We'd say the city of Newark and their homestanding Devils are officially at war.
