I am going to bring my Zack jersey and throw it on the ice

I'd throw his name and number on the ice....not the whole jersey. Just rip those and throw 'em.

"KO-VY's BETT-ER"

[Daniel]

Besides the "kovy's better" chant, if we want to be really mean chant, "take a drive with heatly".

Really mean.

[MDPucks]

Won't matter thanks to the lockout since there won't be regular season hockey played before at least Thanksgiving.

I won't be at the game but if I was I'd give an initial clap when the Devils play a retrospective "Welcome back Zach" video during a commerical. Then just go with the regular gameplan of cheering for my own team.

[CaptainRafalski]

Boo. Dude left the team on his own.

They won't do that. Didn't do it when Nieds came back, didn't do it when Madden came back and those guys actually helped us win Stanley Cups. No chance in hell they do something like that for Parise.

Frustrated now, but when the team moves on, and is still a good team, we'll be able to think of the good things Parise has done for the organization. I went with applaud.

What is this exactly? Im not being snarky with the question. He wasnt alone in getting us to the Final and Id give more props to CBGB, Marty, and Kovy for it. He was a good player for us and helped us win some games, but no hardware. I think we will forget Zach a lot sooner than even Gomez, since the taste of Zach's leaving isn't nearly as sh!tty as how Gomez left. It will help a ton if we can continue to make some waves in the postseason and stay a good team. If we go back to 10-11 type play (first half), the taste of his departure will fester.

He's going to get mercilessly booed on November 11th by the majority of our fanbase, but each year that passes, he'll just become another player in the league.

[NJDevs4978]

Oh knock off the holier then thou nonsense. Players have no loyalty to us so why should we respect them? Zach didn't win a cup here. He deserves nothing from us.

The ones that do have loyalty already stayed. Booing Langs didn't exactly send a bad message to Marty, Sal, etc

I don't get why we have to play nice with someone that left us in the lurch to be 'classy'. Fvck that noise.

How about win 5-0, and call it a night.

[ZeroGravityFat]

I wouldn't mind giving him a mean check from atrain as a gift.

"what is not for you is against you and what is against you is your enemy"

[ZeroGravityFat]

On the upside, we will def get a national spot fire that game so ask the media can day how great Zach is and how the devils won't make the playoffs unless they trade for some overpaid trade bait, come June, we will be in the playoffs, Zach with his wife since he can't play golf without first thinking about it for 3 days then completely calling it off.

I mean think about this, the captain of the New Jesrey Devils was more concerned with thinking of ways to play with freaking Ryan Suter after the season. He was more worried about playing with Suter than with the guys that were already on the team, while still on the team!

And he played like it, too! Remember that one time he took a shift off? 'Cause I don't.

[NJDevs4978]

Yeah well that doesn't do anything for us now, does it? Nobody ever accused him of being Gomez on the ice but I don't get how someone you played with for a few weeks takes priority over guys you play years with.

[devilsfan26]

I'd give him a cheer at the start and be otherwise indifferent the rest of the game.

Same here. The hate for this guy is ridiculous. Do we expect every free agent to stay with the same team? Or just the good ones? Come on let's not be ridiculous. It's not like he left us for the Rangers.

[MadDog2020]

I'm hoping 16,999 others will join me in a fvck YOU ZACH chant. That, or PARISE SUCKS. Whichever one sounds more offensive to him and his a$$hole father.

[StormJosh]

cmon guys here is a player who went 110% each and every shift he was out on the ice. There is no arguing that he played his heart out. Even when things weren't going well you could see he clearly wanted to contribute and was noticeably angry when we were losing. I'm really pleased that we were able to watch Parise play for as long as we have. He doesn't have Kovalchuk talent but he is definitely the hardest working player in the NHL and gave his all for the Devils. What more can you ask for of a player than to give everything and only leave for a chance to play at home?

[eldon]

Really, an FU Zach chant? If he's not here, I'm thrilled he's in Minny & not anywhere else.
