New Jerseys current status remains lower than it was in 2013 and 14, and a far cry from the elite company they kept following a Stanley Cup finals appearance in 2012, when they ranked 13th overall. Still, theres no question that things are looking up in Newark.Whats goodLets start off of the ice. Under the leadership of first-year GM Ray Shero -- who replaced club icon Lou Lamoriello, now in the same capacity in Toronto, in 2015 -- the Devils made huge strides in terms of mending fences with their fans, who had been stung by the defections of Lamoriello and stars like Ilya Kovalchuk and Zach Parise in recent years. It worked. Fan relations soared 28 spots over 2014-15, and seeing a game at Prudential Center (aka The Rock) became more enjoyable, with stadium experience jumping 25 places. On the rink, the team missed the playoffs for a fourth consecutive year. But the summer arrival of powerful left winger Taylor Hall, acquired from Edmonton in exchange for blueliner Adam Larrson, has the die-hards optimistic that that streak will soon end.Whats badTheyre not the Rangers, but its still relatively expensive to be a Devils fan, with affordability ranking in the bottom half of our standings. And New Jerseys benefactors, David Blitzer and Philadelphia 76ers owner Josh Harris, get low marks three years after purchasing the financially troubled club from Jeff Vanderbeek, with ownership also coming in at a dismal No. 63 (along with affordability, the Devils worst rating). The struggles at the gate continue, too, with the Devils finishing in the bottom third of the league in attendance for the 13th season in a row.Whats newHall, still just 24, has the potential to be a franchise player. Jersey-bred right winger Kyle Palmieri is coming off a career year. Goaltender Cory Schneider is among the leagues best. So even with a suspect defensive corps that will miss Larsson, the players ranking leaped 30 spots. And fans love John Hynes coaching: The NHLs youngest boss -- who replaced Adam Oates and three-time Cup-winning-Devils captain Scott Stevens in June of 2015 -- is responsible for a massive 53-spot boost in that category.Next: Philadelphia Flyers?| Full rankings http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Wes-Hopkins-Jersey/ .S. -- Nikolaj Ehlers registered a hat trick for the third straight game and Jonathan Drouin had a goal and five assists as the Halifax Mooseheads hammered the host Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 10-1 on Tuesday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Customized/ . -- Arizona raced out to a big lead and did not back off, hitting the accelerator instead. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Lane-Johnson-Jersey/ .

During the athletes parade, the 23-strong Ukrainian team was represented by a lone flagbearer in an apparent protest at the presence of Russian troops in Ukraines Crimean peninsula.Arsene Wenger says Arsenal will use criticism of their performance against Manchester United to fuel their bid for the Premier League title. Sundays 3-2 defeat to Manchester United led some pundits - including Sky Sports Graeme Souness - to question the Gunners appetite for a battle.But he says his players will prove their resolve - starting with Wednesday nights game with Swansea at the Emirates - and suggested the level of criticism was not justified. Thats what we want to do - use and transform the negatives around us into positives and create even more solidarity, he said.Lets not go overboard, we dont play to be relegated, we play to fight for the Premier League so thats why we have to put the criticism in the right place.I dont want to respond to individual criticism. I think people are a bit too emotional and we want to put things into perspective by analysing things a bit more in a neutral way. This club is respected all over the world despite what people say.I am never surprised by the criticism that comes - that is part of the media today and part of the opinions is always a bit excessive and emotional but we have to deal with that and I dont complain about that. Aaron Ramsey looks dejected as Arsenal fall to defeat at Old Trafford Wenger said the 2-0 Champions League defeat to Barcelona last Tuesday dented his players confidence ahead of the Old Trafford match.We gave a lot against Barcelona and that certainly had an impact on our belief against Manchester United, he said.Were not happy with the result. We had two lapses of focus that we paid for. Wenger admitted Arsenals loss to Barcelona contributed to the Man Utd defeat He added: We are not dwelling on results and we are focused on Swansea.dddddddddddd Every home game is very important.Swansea are in a battle of their own - against relegation. And Wenger expects a tough evening against them.Swansea will fight very hard, with great commitment and be very organised defensively, he said. Wenger says he will be cautious with returning striker Danny Welbeck Danny Welbeck has scored two goals in two Premier League games since returning from injury, but Wenger says he does not want to push the striker too hard.I will have to be cautious with him going into the Swansea game, he said. Arsene Wenger says Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil are no closer to singing new deals with Arsenal.
