Even though they lost in the Stanley Cup Final, things seemed to be perking up on the financial front for the New Jersey Devils.
They made more in playoff ticket sales than every movie made at the box office this weekend save for “Madagascar 3″; and the Devils didn’t have the benefit of a talking zebra in an afro wig. There was also a report that Devils owner Jeff Vanderbeek had located an ownership group willing to buy into the team and help ease their considerable debt — roughly $80 million owed to the banks.
