DJ Eco Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Has this been proven or is it just Devils PR statement? There are other teams out there with their own smartphone apps and the like that the Devils do not have. The Devils have won a handful of awards in the past few years for a pretty wide variety of social media programs they've implemented and continue to implement. A lot of different facets of our public relations are totally inept but our online presence is pretty advanced, especially compared to the Florida Panthers. hahahahhahaa/ Yep, that's the winner!

MadDog2020 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 For cryin' out loud, really? Dineen, just shut the hell up. First you rip the Prudential Center ice because of all the standing water at your practice, only to realize it was your own stupid fault for putting your team out there immediately after the zamboni resurfaced the rink. And now this? The stupidity of some people ... it never ceases to amaze me. http://m.deadspin.com/5904348/panthers-somehow-blame-devils-fans-for-ruining-rat+throwing-tradition. Here's the write-up.

lazer Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 problem is when someone trolls rags fans on HF you get 20 pages of rags fans sounding real bad. do not like cowbell steve, is he on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneykoIsGod Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 And it should be noted that, for as much grief as some fans give Gulitti (for what reason, I still don't understand), he's been ALL OVER the Panthers for this. Tom Gulitti @TGfireandicePanthers sell rats at games, collect them when thrown on ice, resell, and then blame (Devils) fans for throwing them. Tom Gulitti @TGfireandiceHere's a plastic rat for $5, but please, whatever you do don't throw it on the ice during the game (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more..) Tom Gulitti @TGfireandiceIt's definitely not the Panthers' fault that someone threw something on the ice that was sold for that specific intent. And a nice little back-and-forth. Tom Gulitti @TGfireandiceRT @PanthersYormark: Panthers will not sell rats at pantherland. This is a result of visiting fans throwing rats on the ice during the game. Eric Ebertz @eeberlew71@TGfireandice Ambiguous use of the word 'visiting'... Tom Gulitti @TGfireandice@eeberlew71 There were a lot of plastic rats thrown on the ice during the game. If it was all Devils fans, there must have been a lot there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion15 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) oh, wa wa waaa! All they're doing is copying Detroit with the octopus but with a twist on their rat problems in the past in their building. Look, it's just stupid to go throwing them on the ice whenever during the game. HAT tricks are a tradition, but even that slows things down while they clean up. Save it for after the game. It costs the team a penalty and you could be escorted out by the security. I'm all for celebrating but just kind of dumb the way they do it. It’s great for the fans that they associate themselves with rats but it’s kind of a pain when you play.” -Marty :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Edited April 23, 2012 by Legion15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't done anything with the rat since being swept by the Avs in the 96 finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Sherry Ross had some beauts earlier today too, including this one: Sherry Ross @SherryDarlingNJ Panthers will no longer sell rats. Great. Now plastic rat shelters in FL will be overrun with homeless rats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) I gotta give 'em this much, it was a frigging genius move to sell rats at $5 a pop, have 20,000 of them hit the ice after the game, then pick 'em up and re-sell them again. Basically it comes out to $100,000 per win and all they have to do is recycle merchandise. They made a huge mistake though, angering the fanbase before Game 6. Instead of us being nervous and annoyed with our own team, now we're angry and want blood. Edited April 23, 2012 by NJDevs4978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cachorro Louco Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 And now this same clown is encouraging Panther fans to throw them in our arena lmfao. Can't he fined by the league for encouraging fans to participate in something that may result to injuries to the players??

Quinn01 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 It blew my mind that they were selling these to begin with. What else did they expect their fans to do with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually surprised how hostile the atmosphere has been the past two games for Panthers fans and idiots in Rangers jerseys. Not dangerous or stupid hostile but definitely making the game experience unpleasant for them. I think it's a good thing, and hopefully carries on throughout next season. We're such pushovers anytime the Rags or Flyers infest our building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunninWithTheDevil Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 so since apparently it was Devils fans doing the throwing, can we now throw them after we win tomorrow and sully their tradition whilst making an ironic statement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derlique Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I think most people are puzzled that the Devils havent gotten a PP from this yet. The NHL said that if fans did this at any point during the game (including after goals), there would be a delay of game penalty. On hfboards, a lot of Panthers fans are calling out Devils fans for bitching, but their coach and representative are the ones crying to the media!

halfsharkalligatorhalfman Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Why would Devils fans throw rats on the ice to get a PP when the team was losing 0-3 with only 30 seconds to go in the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of those cesspools masquerading as fan bases, I wouldn't be surprised if there are Rangers/Flyers levels of NJ State Police present tomorrow due to these threats of visiting fans causing trouble.
