The banner they raised to the rafters - the font on the #2 is wrong. I can't add a picture from the game but I'm sure there are pics online. I can't explain it properly but where the diagonal part of the two raises up to the right from the bottom of the number - on the banner it stops short and forms a straight line up. The font of the devils #2 does not do this. In fact, the replica banner they gave out got it right.

Amazing.

Sundstrom, you may have the keenest eye in Jersey if you noticed that lol. I never would've even given it a second thought if you didn't mention it.

If you check the devils website and look in the background you can kind of see the straight line on it. I guess it just looks weird when it is blown up.

i'm not sure what you're referring to but i can assure you the font is incorrect on the banner.

If you look at the Nieds banner in the background, the 2 looks like the one they raised tonight, just not as pronounced.

i see it. while you are right that there is a slight uptick and it's not a direct diagonal, it is still entirely the wrong font. it's actually the font the dallas stars use (among others).

That's the 2nd thing that I noticed. The first is that the numbers are inconsistent between Stevens and Niedermayer. Stevens played his last game on 1/7/04 and retired on 9/7/05. His banner has 2005 as the last year. Niedermayer played his last game as a Devil on 4/17/04 and signed with Anaheim on 8/4/05. His banner has 2004 as the last year. They should either both say 2004 (when they played their last games) or 2005 (when they stopped being active members of the Devils).
