I'm definitely not a huge fan on these outdoor expansions. It ruins the spectacle of the Winter Classic, IMO That being said; I'm going to try to attend the game.

The Mad Hatters are in.

Preferably without. I feel like it would be off-center with the circle.

I'm looking to make a shirt with solely the 'J' part of the logo (kind of like the one on Marty's mask). However, I'm unable to find the 'J' as a picture without the 'N' and I'm absolutely terrible at Photoshop. Can anyone help me out here?

Do you actually know anyone who has wrapped their car around a pole? My neighbor did, he was 16 years old, his dad never recovered and is an alcoholic now. Do you actually know anyone that has been killed in a car accident on Christmas morning? 3 of my closest friends have, by a drunk driver going the wrong way on the highway. Before you go and say something stupid like that, think about who you're talking to and have some humanity. I'm sorry about your friend; no one should get raped, but what you said was way out of line. On the fact that it's impossible for professional athletes to rape someone, I know a lot about the Big Ben situation; my uncle coaches for the Steelers. I've never defended Ben, because I've met him and he's a jerk. He may have did it, we'll never know. These people are humans as well and can get accused of anything, just like the rest of us; they are just more high profiled. In the court of public opinion, Doughty, Ben, Kobe, Lawrence Taylor and every other famous athlete/celebrity accused of sexual assault is a sex offender/rapist. Their life will never be the same, whether they did it or not.

I don't understand why people think the Kings are so much better than everyone. Yeah, they haven't lost a road game, their longest series is 5 games and Quick has been great but they played a fraudulent Vancouver team that is unable to score and has spotty goal-tending. St. Louis, who didn't have Jaro Halak and are a defensive team that doesn't really score either. Phoenix just didn't match up well with LA. I'm not saying LA isn't a great team, because they are, but they aren't the team everyone thinks they are. I believe having not played a long series will hurt LA. Sometimes you need that adversity of a come-from-behind series win to know you can do. This will be a great series, nonetheless.

Cheers to everyone. Time for a few victory shots. :cheers:

Does anyone by chance have an Andy Greene jersey they are willing to sell? My brother was recently accepted into the University of Miami of Ohio (Greene's alma mater) and is a big Devils fan as well. I'm trying to find something Miami/Devils related for his 18th birthday in July. He's about 6'4 so he wears about an XL or XXL. Thanks in advance.

I am.

As long as Kramer doesn't punch Ken Daneyko in the mouth, it will be a success.

Don't worry, Ohio folk don't know about the Jersey Devil either. The girlfriends extremely religious parents hate when I wear my Devils gear so I do it quite frequently. Anyways, I'm not one for the creativity either but they'd probably have to roll with the trident or NJ Devil's head. I'd be okay with "New Jersey" going diagonal down the front but that's too close to the Rags so I doubt it'd happen.

In order to get the full effect of the 3rd jersey, it'd have to be a brand new logo. They couldn't just do a black version of the current jerseys and still expect a great revenue rise. With a new logo, you'd sell jerseys, hats, pucks, the whole shebang and the profit margin would be significantly higher.

Anyone know how much tickets went for last year or typically go for? It's only 3 1/2 hours from me and I'm considering it.

Reports are that Cutler was in favor of him leaving. Cutler seems like a jerk, in my opinion. I'm sure his ego along with Martz' ego were always clashing and it became a "This town ain't big enough for the two of us" type of ordeal in Chicago.

My dad and the Columbus Blue Jackets. I didn't really know what hockey was until the Blue Jackets came to Columbus and youth hockey exploded. Being born in 1991, I was at the perfect age to start playing and fell in love with the game. For as long as I can remember, my dad has had a green NJD starter jacket and I would always wear that thing to the rink. As a defense men, I loved Scott Stevens play and aggressiveness.

I agree with mdsieve. As a Steeler fan, I'm more than a little concerned. I'll take 12 wins any season, without question, but the offense just doesn't show up for games sometimes. Tebow has been tanking for the past couple weeks which has me worried that he will catch the grace of God and light up the world. Mendenhall's injury is likely a torn ACL but that doesn't really concern me because he doesn't run hard at times. Mewelde Moore's injury is the one that is the most devastating to the backfield. He can catch the ball on a little swing pass and get decent yardage. Redman plays smashmouth football but he just needs to hold onto the ball and Clay is a good change of pace back. As for Clark, there is a possibility that he may play but it depends on how he feels. Ben only limps when he knows the camera will be on him, he's fine. Congrats to the Ravens on a division championship and we hope to see them in the divisional round after Cincy takes care of business in Houston and is sent to New England.

Happy Festivus

As a resident of Columbus, I felt obligated to start this GDT. Devils (10-8-1) vs. Blue Jackets (5-13-2). 7:00 puck drop at the Rock.

Just tap it in. Give it a little tappy tap tap taparoo

Unless he is on the block and they didn't want to have to pull him off the bench if he had been traded in the middle of the game and go down a man.

Kansas City would be my guess. Penguins and Kings played a preseason game there this year and it was a great success.

My NHL Network guide says Stars @ Penguins for tonight but does have Devils @ Caps tomorrow.
