grcenter47 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I know not to take things seriously from Rangers fans who call on the radio but these comments are getting worse. 1) "Martin Brodeur is not that great of a goalie because he didnt win the Conn Smythe in 2003" 2) "The Prudential Center and the Devils organization is ridiculous because they have cheerleaders. Seriously who has cheerleaders in the NHL" 3) "Devils fans are a bunch of frauds. They only come out during the playoffs and they dont sell out like the Rangers" 4) "The 1995 Stanley Cup championship shouldn't count because it was a shortened season" I heard all of these in a span of a week. To the credit of WFAN, Mike Francesa, Joe Benigno, and Evan Roberts defended the Devils in most of these points. On a side note, Mike Fransesca said that he doubt the cheerleaders were Lou's idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 4) "The 1995 Stanley Cup championship shouldn't count because it was a shortened season" I was unaware that the Rangers and rest of the NHL played 82 games that year and we were the only team to play the shortened 48 game schedule....

Devils731 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 The NBA already declared they're only handing out half a trophy this year. if you're interested in knowing, it'll be the bottom half so it can still stand on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also wearing today to work my kovy player tee that I have worn a bunch of times before on casual Friday. Today when I was out at lunch at the store I had a bunch of different people tell me the devils suck and whatnot. I never heard a peep when I wore this shirt before but now I hear it today suddenly. If anything, a lot of people who could not care about hockey are suddenly rangers fans and it is mostly because they have new York in their name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, Mike Fransesca said that he doubt the cheerleaders were Lou's idea Flyer fans might be the most violent, but the Ranger fans by and large are the dumbest. I'm sure there were worse comments than that made. And StarDew is 100% right, those dummies would never have said a word about shortened seasons if they had repeated as SC Champs. And no franchise is more ridiculous than the Rangers. I can't think of one single NHL franchise that has celebrated one Cup win over and over again as shamelessly as the Rangers have (and their fans buy right into it every time...after awhile you'd think some of them would say "Geez, can we move past this already?"). The only team that was even in the vicinity of that level of cheesiness was Carolina, when they raised their Cup banner twice.

Lateralous Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Some of the Devils callers haven't exactly been stellar either. The Ranger caller going off about how Giguere winning the Conn Smythe in 2003 somehow reflects badly on the Devils was the top one IMO.

Chuck the Duck Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Why do they think it bothers us? We can have a parade in the parking lot of a Wawa in Freehold for all I care, as long as we win another Stanley Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neutral zone trap/boring jokes. Calling the Devils the "Debbies" That's about 95% of the comedic material Ranger fans have in their arsenal.

The Ranger caller going off about how Giguere winning the Conn Smythe in 2003 somehow reflects badly on the Devils was the top one IMO. I caught one comment from a Devils fan and he literally made no sense. I think he was soo angry from all the Rangers fans that called who said Devils were trouble-makers. He was drawing comparisons to the Yankees and the quality of their fans who went to the stadium back in the day. I think Mike Fransesca hung up on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wore my Devils t-shirt in Miami Beach Wednesday before the game, and some girl started getting belligerent with me. It really amused me.
