Wow it just speaks volumes when a nationally televised game against a bitter rival needs to have these promotions.

 

To be fair, the club seats are priced insanely high...it's not surprising they don't sell at a face value of over $250. Is it a great experience? Do I love sitting there? Yes to both, but no way it's worth $250+ per ticket. Personally, I'm just glad the team has decided to make sure those sections are full (which should create a nice environment in the stadium and will look good on TV) rather than letting those tickets go to waste.

Well I'm glad you're not our GM, because Gionta is one of the hardest working players on the team and he definitely deserves to be here.

You guys are totally over-reacting, in my opinion. In all likelihood, Kovalchuk isn't trying to make a statement about money or the Olympics, he isn't pissed about the terms of the new CBA, and he is not mad about his NHL salary being smaller because of the lockout....he just wants to play some more hockey.

Chances are that he simply wants to do all he can for his KHL team (he's the captain, after all) and put on a show for the fans at the All-Star Game before he leaves. The CBA isn't ratified, so why bother coming back to the US until he needs to? Kovy is a hero in Russia and it's because he cares about his country, his teammates, and his fans. He's not the type of guy to bail on a team, which is why he hasn't bailed on SKA yet, and which is also why he will be back in New Jersey after the KHL All-Star Game to play for the Devils.

Ive never understood people who pick against their own team.

As far as I'm concerned, if you're a fan of a team, you should pick them because you believe they'll find a way to win, even if you think they might be over-matched.

Are you kidding me? Give me a break. When I predict the Devils are going to lose a series, I'm not rooting against them - I'm just being realistic, and there's nothing wrong with that. The Flyers are a strong team, and even though I would love nothing more than for the Devils to win, I don't see it happening. Does that make me a bad fan? Not at all. I'll still be watching every second of every game rooting the Devils on. Blindly picking your team to win even when they are outmatched doesn't make you any better than those of us who predict the Flyers will win the series.

I'm looking to sell my extra Johan Hedberg stick (purchased directly from the Devils at their 2011 equipment sale).



I am asking $100. Shipping should be around $15, or I can meet before or after the April 7 game.

Feel free to message me with questions or if you would like to buy the stick.

Thanks,

Jordan

I picked up one up was wondering if anyone else got one?   Good to know the $$$ goes to the families that lost loved ones.

None for me! I kept an eye on a few but they went a bit out of my budget.

Who did you get?

I've been noticing a few of our players with considerable stubble and facial hair lately. What happened to Lou's rule? Is he more relaxed about it now or are the players sticking it to him?

we miss havign an enforcer. Rangers and Flyers both have one and they are ahead of the standings.

Yes, having an enforcer is obviously why they are ahead of us  

Whos jersey will soon be in your possession?

I was able to get the Colin White, thanks to a friend who was higher on the list and bought it for me. I am very happy, because I try to focus my collection around guys on our '03 Cup team and White was a player I had been wanting to get anyway, so picking up his retro killed two birds with one stone for my collection!

ok - when i called, they said they had no information on it at the time and that i could "start" a waiting list and would be contacted.

i also recall reading  that they wore 3 jerseys in that game - on each period for the purpose of auction/sale.

I believe the original plan was to wear a different jersey each period (like Opening Night at the Rock), but something went wrong and the Devils only got enough jerseys for one set.

I have a feeling that this year, the jerseys will be auctioned. Whether it is one set that is auctioned, or three sets where one is auctioned, one is sold, etc, like the Winter Classic, will be interesting to see. But auction is my gut feeling. I could be wrong, of course, because MeiGray surprised me by selling the '10 retros instead of sending them to auction, where they would have probably made more money. It was a great gesture on their part to sell to the request list.

Yup, that's him...an Emergency Backup Goalie for the ECHL Trenton Devils....signing New Jersey Devils jerseys....

Hey, he was in training camp this year, in a Devils jersey.

$350 for a puck??

What do you mean by giant? Do you have photos or a measurement?

I would love to see Phoenix. I think they are a solid team and they are going to be a force to be recoded with in the next few seasons.

A force to be recoded with?

I'm "jwomp" on Xbox.

But is it unethical to claim a random drawing when it's weighted? Hey I won a huge prize in Frozen Over so I'm content.. Doesn't mean I can't point out that the random drawing didn't seem random.. I was also under the impression that the drawings were for every seat in the house not just ones owned by STH

What did you win Colin?

Not really that expensive when you factor in the licensing fees and stuff. If you wanted any of those photos from Getty Images it would cost like $500.
