About David »

I am a 20 year old college student that loves hockey. I have been a fan of the New Jersey Devils since I was 5 and some people refer to me as a walking encyclopedia of hockey information. I joined Bleacher Report to write my opinion and not to try to become a serious sports writer. Anyone that chooses to edit my article please do not butcher it by turning every sentence into a new paragraph or removing entire thoughts.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Scott Stevens, Martin Brodeur, John Madden, most Devils players. I also love players that hit and play hard like Dion Phaneuf, Jarome Iginla, Sean Avery, Jordin Tootoo, etc. Ovechkin > Crosby
Favorite Sports Teams

New Jersey Devils above all else. I really admire storied sports teams like the New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves, New York Jets/Giants, Montreal Canadians, other original 6 teams.
All Time Sports Moment

Miracle on Ice. I was not born yet, but even I know the dominance of the USSR hockey program and the history of what was going on at the time. It transcended sports and was a huge morale boost for the entire country.
Most Memorable Game Attended

My first NHL game to see in person, the Devils vs the Penguins. Followed by the Columbus Blue Jackets' game where Manny Malhotra did his version of Bobby Orr's "The Goal". http://youtube.com/watch?v=ONef3tCJFBA
Most Unbreakable Sports Record
Ruth or Mays?
Unitas or Montana?
Pele or Maradona?
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Hey David—Dave Mo here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our Devils page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at dmorrison@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Dave Mo

David, I'm not working in firefox today, so here's some editor's feedback.

Great article! I tweaked your headline, formatted the spacing of the subheadings, and edited for style. Make sure everything checks out to your liking—keep up the awesome work!

Hi David,

So sorry for any misunderstanding with regard to numbers. I was just following Bleacher Report's Style Guide, which holds that numbers one through nine are to be spelled out, while numbers 10 and up are to appear in numeral form. With that said, you're certainly free to compose your articles however you'd like! And I look forward to reading more.

Thanks and all best,
Gracie
