titans04 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 It always amazes me a guy like Ovi with all his skill still goes out to try and annihilate guys with heavy hits every chance he gets. He literally broke Fast in half the other night and and one point looked like he sent Stepan to IR although I guess he just knocked the wind out of him. How he wasn't forced to be checked for a concussion is beyond me. The linesman had to literally skate him over to the bench. What bothers me is we're equally as soft so I wonder who he runs through tonight? Would take a hell of an effort to win this one unless the Caps are totally off their game. Otherwise it could be ugly and over pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) I didn't realize Kevin Rooney is the nephew of former Devil Steve Rooney. That could be a fun trivia question. Has there been any other uncle/nephew pairs that played for us? Edited March 2, 2017 by Satans Hockey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Did anyone else lose their feed? Lol I heard Deb and John laughing and yelling about how they lost our feed lol glad to see the production team is right on part with the team lately lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Silver lining of this "new" NJD is I really like seeing all the young kids in the lineup. Over the years we had older guys and all the Lou pickups taking up space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIP72 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Obviously still very early, but solid start for the Devils. BTW, I'm at the game. There are a solid number of other Devils fans at the visitors shoot twice end, as is usually the case in DC.

Daniel Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Like that Harris is at the game with Shero. Also brought his kid with him. He said he bought the team with the idea it would be his inheritance, so I guess that's our future owner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHIP72 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 That was one of the best shifts I've ever seen from this team The Hall/Zajac/Palmieri line is so much better than the Devils' other lines a good chunk of the time it's not even funny. Hopefully that strong play can carry over at the start of the 2nd period. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially looked forward to games against weak competition. I think you're in the minority because you see it in many markets. FWIW ESPN shows them being sold out every game so far.

Very odd. Havent seen a shot of what the upper bowl looks like, but it seems full enou that it'll be called a sellout. Verizon Center is like The Rock where you can clearly see empty seats in the lower bowl on TV. Difficult to tell though at places like MSG, which lists all of its games as sell outs.

Very odd. DC is a terrible sports market. The Wizards have drawn very poorly despite playing very well the last 2-3 months (and generally have drawn poorly the last few years). The Redskins always have plenty of empty seats at games. And there are always a large number of visiting team fans at Nationals home games when they play a Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, or Midwest team; in some cases (i.e. the visiting team is a good team) the visiting team fans can outnumber or come close to outnumbering the home team fans.Disclosure note - I bought a 2 game T-shirt pack direct from the Caps this past Monday for less than $100 and had no problem getting a single seat where I wanted for either game. (I'm also going to the Caps' game against Dallas this coming Monday.)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brings his kid to the game and you skip over the generic "cool, his kid wanted to come to a hockey game", and go right to "that tyke's going to inherit the team, he'll be our future owner". It has a morbid undertone and it made me think of something feudal peasants might mutter as their Lord rides by with their prince or something. Besides, he could sell and the kid gets nothing. It's just not the first thing I think of when a rich guy is sitting with his kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerzey Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Sounds like Shero plans on making some moves at the expansion draft. Good to hear. Hopefully we can get a couple of good players especially with all of the draft picks we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris actually said that he planned on handing the team over to his kid, and that was part of the reason that he bought a team that doesn't make money. I didn't make that up. So yeah, his son is probably going to own the team at some point, and maybe sooner than we think as his son isn't that young. I imagine that bringing him to a game where he's talking business with the GM is part of showing him the ropes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
