HellOnICE Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 My father threatened to cancel his season tickets. He got in at 8am and said it was sold at 7:45. Ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got in at 8am too and couldn't get anything. That's what happens when it goes on sale 15 mins early and there is barely any tickets to begin with.

skeeter Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 There's nothing going on at the old dump in the swamp that day and apparently after January 30th the Prudential Center runs the place and collects the money from any events there. They're still having the circus there a few days later so it will still be up and running. It's a no brainer. #onelasttailgate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) What exactly is wrong with Broten? Why isn't he attending? Does this interfere with any other Stanley Cup anniversaries he's attending? Oh that's right, his only Cup came with the Devils, so he should be fvcking grateful and attend Edited February 5, 2015 by '7' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Saw someone over at hf suggest this but why not move the game to noon on Sunday? More people get to go, more money gets raised for charity. Seems like a no brainer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Oh. Don't remember that. But he was pretty much washed up by then anyway Yeah he wasn't happy with how Lemaire was using him and basically pouted and complained openly about, which we all know goes over so well in jersey.

DevsMan84 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 CR1976 posted an article recently where Broten was the only player to skip out on a punishment practice after a loss right before the 96 all star break started. Broten basically told Lemaire that he felt like being with his family was more important. Needless to say both Lemaire and Lou were not happy. In regards to holding it at noon on Sunday, I am not sure that would work. A lot of the people would be going to both games then and you will have to basically herd people out of the arena as fast as you can and then have them come back in again. Logistics might be a little dicey though I do not think it is impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Broten had that real bad falling out in 96. I guess he never got over it. Talked about it before (DM84 just referenced it), but he really was not happy living in this area from what I understand. Just wasn't a Jersey guy at all. He was also living alone without his wife and two young daughters...apparently he didn't want to uproot them again after just having done that when the North Stars moved to Dallas. He was also 36 and knew he wasn't going to play much longer. I think the breaking point came when Lemaire scheduled that punishment practice after promising his players some time off during the All-Star Break...though Broten missed his family terribly and wasn't happy in NJ, from all accounts he was a good soldier up until that point. He had scheduled a vacation in Florida for some quality time with his family, and basically told Lemaire and Lamoriello that they could fine him, but that he wasn't coming to the practice...basically told them they could go screw. It was so obvious by the following season that Broten no longer wanted any part of the Devils that Lemaire pretty much told Lou about a week into the '96-'97 season that Broten needed to go ASAP. One of those situations where it would've been much better off for everyone if he had been a rental and wasn't signed beyond 1995.

There's a way to make this work logistically they just need to figure it out. Where there's a will, there's a way. It shouldn't have been at the Pavillion. Biggest mistake. Really really a shame. My father who is technically the account holder was at the clincher in '95 and has missed 2 home games in their playoff history dating back to the 80s. He's not a bigger fan than some, but they should've made sure the people who were actually there in 95 and are still there 20 years later get in. Just my 2 nickels.

HellOnICE Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 So figure out a way to do that. It's not going to the moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 So figure out a way to do that. It's not going to the moon. Basically you will have to kick people out and have them re-enter. That's the quickest and least painful way though it is still a pain in the ass. You also have to have the cleaning people do their thing in between the games as well. What prevents people from remaining inside when they do not have tickets to the actual game? Security will have a huge mess on this hand and a disaster waiting to happen.

Devil Dan 56 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 So figure out a way to do that. It's not going to the moon. It's a logistics nightmare to kick a possible 17000 people out and bring in another potential 17000 people. Just think of the parking and traffic alone.

Just think of the parking and traffic alone. They do it for some Devils games where they have a Seton Hall game at 1 and then a Devils game at 7 that same day. It's possible. However the idea of letting people hang around between games is really foolish and is a disaster waiting to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Only open the lower bowl, put security at each stairwell to make sure people don't go upstairs. Clear them out and clean when the game is over. It's really not that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
