dmann422 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 In case anyone needs further proof that Lou's stranglehold on the franchise's operations is loosening... Should be fun to see, I will probably watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brown Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'm happy about that. I've also noticed a slew of Devils players have twitter. Sal, Marty, Jagr, Patty, Larsson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I've always found it funny that, if I saw Andy Greene on the street and didn't follow hockey, I'd probably think he was just some regular Joe Schmo going about his business. He just doesn't look like a professional athlete, with the slim physique and receding hairline. Which isn't a bad thing by any means, just a funny observation.

Chuck the Duck Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 No matter what, it is going to be an interesting series. The HBO 24/7 programs on boxing and the Winter Classic are fantastic. If this could be 1/2 as good, then it will be a winner for the NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Eco Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) Win/win for everyone involved. I'm sure it won't be as intrusive as HBO 24/7, its draw in the US will be mostly big-market NY metro area and LA, leads right into NBC's Olympics coverage, etc... Good for hockey, good for the NHL, good for the Devils, if they do some coverage of Brodeur, Jagr, Henrique, and some of the Newfies on our team like I'm almost positive they'll do. We have a lot of players that fit the narrative (Canadians, who played outdoors as a kid). Edited November 18, 2013 by DJ Eco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmann422 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 HBO is by far and away, the gold standard for TV. Everything they do is awesome. I agree across the board their series are great.But there are some singular shows out there like breaking bad and homeland that I think are just as good. And by the sound of the series it's going to be player(s) from every team in an outdoor game, so it would logically include us, or did I misread that?

Homeland went from awesome to worst show on TV pretty fast though. I stopped watching after that awful Shyamalan-esque plot twist where Carrie is a double double agent. The show used to be so much grittier and realistic and now it wants me to believe that Carrie was in a mental ward mumbling about Saul being a jerk, all the while knowing that it was part of the plan? Insanity. They should have just killed Brody after last season. I mean, what in the hell was that whole Caracas tenement slum where he's shooting up heroin now? Never got into Breaking Bad though.

JWomp Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 It wouldn't shock me if no Devils appear in this. Hopefully they feature at least one Devil, but I think assuming Greene is going to be in it based off of that picture isn't a very safe assumption. That's just from the media day for the Stadium Series, it has nothing to do with this "announcement." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just from the media day for the Stadium Series, it has nothing to do with this "announcement." I like Greene and he's playing real good these days, but the article did say "stars of the NHL" so if they do something on one of the Devils it would probably be Marty, maybe Jagr or Elias and why are there two maple leafs in that picture????

thelastonealive Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Well the idea is that they're following star players who will also be in the Olympics. So that to me suggests Jagr and maybe Elias, with an outside chance of Schnieder and Marty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95Crash Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I'd be shocked if Andy Greene was profiled. From that article: Players expected to be featured in “NHL Revealed” include Sidney Crosby of the Penguins; Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane of the Blackhawks; brothers Daniel and Henrik Sedin of the Canucks; John Tavares of the Islanders; and goaltenders Henrik Lundqvist of the Rangers and Jonathan Quick of the Kings.

DH26 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Just following star players seems dumb to me. Aside from Bryz, it's the guys like Talbot, Girardi, Hendricks, Simmonds etc who make shows like 24/7, not Lundqvist rocking out with John McEnroe Edited November 19, 2013 by DH26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Wensink Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 It will be Jagr mostly. Big name, going to russia. Marty and Elias sprinkled in. In all I bet the Devs are 5% or less of the show anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caron14 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Remember... the new ownership want to promote the team... on ice operation belong to lamoriello, but the promotion of the team is no more on him... I believe one of our player could be on the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure this was some kind of press release that was prepared a month or more ago.. I don't think they knew what the Devils' situation would be like. Jagr wasn't even around for camp or preseason, Brodeur had a shaky start and was all but considered to probably be the number 2 this year. I'd be shocked if Brodeur and Jagr aren't featured on the show now. These two 41 year olds past their prime, who are carrying the team still, that's a pretty compelling story; they make movies about that kind of thing. Don't forget their sense of humor and international draw are no-brainers for a show like this. Remember... the new ownership want to promote the team... on ice operation belong to lamoriello, but the promotion of the team is no more on him... I believe one of our player could be on the show. And this ^^ Edited November 19, 2013 by DJ Eco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
