Blown01NJ Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 For those of you attending, the game is at 7 but is there a ceremony before? Do we need to be there early? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Good question, and what exactly are they doing? Is there a giveaway such as a banner or bobblehead? Didn't we have one of these for him 3 years ago where he got a painting and all that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelastonealive Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The giveaway is a collectable card or something cheapish like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The giveaway is a collectable card or something cheapish like that. Yeah, they said at the game on Friday that all fans will receive a limited edition Doc trading card. Don't know if they want people to arrive early like they did with Nieds Night, but I'd imagine an announcement would be made pretty soon if they did.

Mayday Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 it would be cool if they could just have him announce one game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The giveaway is a collectable card or something cheapish like that. That's pretty lame. If they are. Basically doing a re-do o the celebration they had for him a few seasons ago at least throw something in there like a doc bobble head to make it worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberite Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 it would be cool if they could just have him announce one game Yea my gf and I have been wishing for this for a while now. I don't know what kind of hurdles there are (ie, he may have an exclusive agreement with NBC), but I'm pretty sure he'd be amicable to come back and announce a game here and there. It would be really great for the fans to hear him and Chico announcing for one night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevsMan84 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) LOL Don't expect to see bobbleheads any time soon..apparently the last one was a fiasco. I'm trying to get some info if the fans need to arrive earlier. Why, what happened? Last time I remember a bobblehead was for Daneyko, but that was many years ago. (Unless you are counting the 4 bobblehead collection they gave to people who got a mini plan a couple seasons back) Edited February 21, 2012 by DevsMan84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Unless you are counting the 4 bobblehead collection they gave to people who got a mini plan a couple seasons back) I'm counting the 4 bobbleheads that looked nothing like the players... Apparently they tried other players but they got nixed for the same reasoning it's called "Goal Celebration" and not "Kovy-ing" anymore.

NJDevs4978 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) When do bobbleheads ever really look like the player? Edited February 21, 2012 by NJDevs4978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelastonealive Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Seriously. The Daneyko one looks more like a Backstreet Boy than the toothless wonder we all remember from his playing days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Pig Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 It's an ongoing joke in our family that ALL the bobbleheads look like George W. Bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Are they actually raising a banner for him? Anyone know? If it's exactly like the last Doc night then I don't feel bad missing it. If they are going to actually raise a banner in his honor then I may try to change my schedule around so I can attend.

NJDevs4978 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 They have kept the details pretty secret, I suspect they won't all come out (hopefully we at least know when to get there lol) but I'd think this ceremony would be a little different. Last time it was more or less a quick acknowledgement of his career and congrats on making the Hall of Fame, this time they'll celebrate his entire tenure as a Devil and if something is done (like a banner or renaming the booth) it should be done Friday.

Devilsfan118 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 They said be in your seats by 7:30 on the broadcast yesterday iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils Pride 26 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Assuming you meant 6:30? The game is at 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelastonealive Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Yeah, the broadcast said the ceremony starts at 7 sharp, I believe. I imagine if it was going to be a big Neidermayer-night like production we'd know about it by now; they were telling everyone to get there early for that two weeks before the game.

Neb00rs Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Honestly, there's only one guy who can host these ceremonies and that's...Doc!!!!! Hey, why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newarkdev01 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Heck I can't go but I might just print it and have it for watching the game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Little more information from here but it still looks like it's going to be very similar to the last Doc night. I really wish they would announce these things cause it's a real pain in the ass for me to switch my schedule around for today but if they are raising a banner of some sort I'd really wish they would have said it already This is from the Devils twitter so it looks like it's going to be a quick ceremony... The ceremony for Doc Emrick will start at 7p. but this is from the devils site http://devils.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=618550&navid=DL|NJD|home Friday’s telecast on MSG+ will include live coverage of the special pre-game ceremony in which Doc will deliver a speech and be presented with a number of awards. The telecast will also feature special vignettes throughout the night, with Devils players and broadcast peers reflecting on their time with Doc, including Martin Brodeur, Zach Parise, Patrik Elias, Ken Daneyko, Stan Fischler, Chico Resch, Howie Rose, Mike Lange, Bill Clement, Rick Jeanneret and Bob Chase. Following the post-game show, MSG+ will telecast a special edition of the MSG Original program, “The Game 365,” where host Fran Healy sits down with Doc to discuss the span of his career, his unmatched style and life in and out of the broadcast booth.
