Hello all!!! I've been a devils fan since I was 8 years old and I'm glad i finally found this site big win tonight I had to upgrade my dish network just to get the game but thats the price you have to play in the playoffs go devils.

I'm probably the only devils fan within 200 Miles living i Sioux City Iowa it is tough to get games on the TV and even tougher to get merch or memoriblia.

I statrted likeing the Devils when Burke took them deep into the playoffs in 88 I think it was the uni's I liked the colors. I'm a diehard though I order the center Ice package every year and record every game I can't watch live. I've made it to at least one game each of the last four years usaully in Chicago or Minnesota. I still cry when I hear Mattue! Mattue!Mattue! on ESPN classic. I cried when I lost my 95 stanley Cup hat in Lake Ontario. I even purchased a larger house so I could have a bigger Devils room. My wife thinks I'm crazy.

I have some unique ties to this years team though. I went to high school and drank beer with David Hale when he played Juniors in sioux City. SO if any of you see him tell him he still owes Jeff from Sioux City some tickets..........haha. I also scored my first varsity hockey goal against Scott Clemensen when he was playing in Des Moines.........it was a weak one....it hit like 4 skates and somehow found the net.

But none of that stuff matters most of all I'm all I'm a die hard fan AND I HATE THE RAGS AND THE FLYERS GO DEVILS GO DEVILS GO DEVILS.

Welcome, Iowa! One of my favorite little midwestern cities is Sioux Falls, SD. They have a great hockey program there with the Stampede.

LETS GO DEVILS!

You'er right they got a great team but thier arena is a dump. I work at the Arena in sioux City so I'm a bit biased. but I'm right too. GO :evil: DEVILS

I wouldn't know about the arena, never been to a game. I've only been to SD in the summer. Going there again the end of June. I've considered moving there, but people keep telling me about the brutal winters. Not too fond of tornadoes either. :o Never witnessed one and like it that way.

How funny -- I wanted to move there something fierce in the 90s. Once the Great Plains have you ... man it's obsessive. ( iknow I know -- but you're ALMOST there...<_< ) I LOVE the mighty Mo' up there... I just love it - it's I think my favorite river in the US up there. I've never actually been inside Souix Falls proper - just drove past the big bill board sayign how great it is there... nice billboard. I get giddy driving from Iowa into SD... Sd gets me giddy but it doesn't really feel like home I guess... but it's magic. ND was home...Bismarck: a great place to live but I wouldn't want to visit as my dad always says.

My neighbor got a job up there and was miserable.. wanted nothing more than to move back home - and here I was debating marrying him just to relocate :noclue: (I thought it was a sign! cut me some slack! :giggle: )

Winters aren't so bad... I think you live with what you've got and it's not so bad I guess...
