My guess is your Rangers fan friends don't think twice about the "Potvin sucks" chants they do 12 times a game at the Garden.  Potvin has been retired for almost 20 years and they still do it, but its ok for the Rags because its "tradition."   

 

The "rangers suck" chant is at least somewhat relevant during a Devils/Sens game in February because (a) the Rags still play in the NHL, and (b) they do actually suck.  Rags fans don't like it because deep down inside they know its the truth. 

 

That still doesn't make it relevent at all.

 

Let the Rangers and their fans have their dumb "traditions."  Just ripping one of theirs off for the past 8-10 years doesn't make ours right or better.

 

I swear every year I hear more of the Rangers suck chants than I do of "Let's go Devils" and it just shows what a huge inferiority complex our fanbase has.

No, no, no, that wasn't it at all! ... I think it is a good thing that we're honest here if we don't like a certain type of beer or a brewer in general. This thread won't be very informative if all we do is mention beers that we like but not ones we don't like.

 

I remember you saying in the past that you like pilseners and other German styles of beer. I happen to like lots of those styles of beer too -- although I do like almost every Founders brew I have tasted, LOL.

 

I REALLY was interested to hear what brewers you liked, HONEST, LOL.

 

 

Oh ok sorry then I apologize lol.

 

Every time I say to another beer nut that I am not a fan of Founders I get a reaction like I just committed an awful crime.

 

I do tend to like the Pilsners and other German styles.  I also have in the last year or so fallen in love with IPA's.  I do appreciate Stouts and Porters but I doubt I will ever really like them the way I like others.

 

Belgium styles I am on the fence on.  I guess depends on who is the brewer.

Since there is talk now of Founders, there is an event for a tap takeover:

 

May 31st at Uno's in Hamilton Twp, NJ.

Uno Chicago Grill and Brewery
Hamilton 225 Sloan Ave
Hamilton Township, NJ 08619
609-890-0864
www.unos.com

 

You can try many of their overrated beers at this event.

Words cannot express how much gratitude I have for Elias to have so far played his entire career in a Devils sweater.  I really hope this is not his last home game as a Devil.  I have a good feeling his number will be raised to the rafters regardless and you can bet I will be there when that happens.

 Haha!   No matter how superior you try to sound it's obvious: You have no answer!

You admit defeat!  You're wrong, You're wrong

 

 

Oh and I wasn't responding to you  in your quoted post  - wrong again!  Not your day, li'l fella.

 

Now you are making me break my promise after only 10 minutes. You really do have a gift.

 

You were not responding directly to me, but you were talking about me and made it quite clear.  You questioned my fandom about the Devils and quite frankly I do not take that too kindly.

 

Second, yes you win as I really do not have an answer.  My gf is a clinical mental heath counselor and she works at a mental hospital.  She tells me all the time that with her sickest patients, you cannot really talk to them as they are just stuck in their own world.  I have the same feelings about you that she does with her patients. No one can ever win against you as you cannot talk or reason with crazy.  This is why every time I respond to any of your posts I have a sinking feeling in my stomach as I know what I will be receiving is not a reasonable or rational response by any means.  Hence why I say that I must be a glutton for punishment.

It is out of the question.   Multiple regional based games are called "regular season".    To do that would destroy any cache the WC has.

 

 

Exactly.  The Devils will never play any outdoor game whatsoever unless the roof blows off the arena.

 

Devils fans really need to drop this.

Devils fans really need to get it out of their heads about the devils ever being in a winter classic.

Won't happen.

honestly... Bobby Ryan would have been the man.. However I think his contract was to expire and he would have been a FA probably looking for 7 mil..

Luongo?? he score goals??? hahaha Actually probably would have been a great fit with us with Marty leaving soon.. and Richards?? The Rangers are dumb.. they traded Gaborik.. come on dude

 

You were talking about living up to contracts, not neccessarily scoring goals so Luongo fits.  There are a ton of top level players who are being overpaid these days in comparison to what they are producing.

 

The Rags may have traded Gaborik but they also opened up salary for themselves while getting decent players in return.  They have done plenty of dumb moves in the past but I wouldnt consider this as one. 

Why didn't you go out and get Bobby Ryan then? You already said you're paying. If your players aren't getting the amount of production you want, then go get better ones with your money. Smh. If Kovy doesn't get hurt, he's probably hovering around 30th in points right now and our team almost certainly has at least a handful more points in the standings. Also, just a word to the wise, you just look stupid when your argument is backed up on the basis of name-calling. 

 

Just basing it off of this thread, I am glad he wasnt around when the Devils lost game 6 in last year's finals.  I can only imagine the posts he would be making then lol.

It's Zajac and not Zajak!

I am watching the game at a bar with a beer and some popcorn.  The lone flyers fan's tears make for the perfect salt for my popcorn

Well this post lacks maturity...

 

Our fanbase hasn't been getting better lately...I dont even want to sit in my season ticket holder seats anymore. I try to sell them for every game and go to a new section. Every fanbase is like that.

 

EDIT: Little random to talk about Mike Rupp since he is in Minnesota now. He only tried to stir up some emotion when they were getting blown out. Ryan Carter plowed over Quick in the Cup Finals when we were getting blown out, I guess we can call him childish names now.

 

There are a lot of issues with our fanbase but they often pale in comparison to the obnoxious trash that calls themselves Ranger fans.  While Philly fans might be more prone to violence, the Rags fans tend to run their mouth more with their dumb comments.

Im saying that JJ is on the same level as teddy if not lower offensively. I didnt say teddy should take JJs spot, in fact what you just quoted says i think they both need to develop what arent you getting about that? my god nothing but sour grapes. no one can just say boy you really hit that one on the head haha its like having a debate with a bunch of mike francesas

and im not gunna go back and edit something wtf? lol i know i hit this topic right on the head i have nothing to change. Btw id like rangerssuck23 to put his input in here, i guess i still shouldnt be allowed to make topics since i was way off here.

Like I said you never outright said it but you were the one making comparisons to tendenby.  You made every possible pondering question as to why JJ was still up instead of teddy the connection was definitely there.

And sour grapes?  I have never seen anyone so happy to see a player on their supposed favorite team struggling just so they can be "proven right" to a bunch of strangers on a message board on the Internet.

Dunno about depressing but boy they don't waste any time reassigning numbers.

"No pressure kid but here's #9 for you to wear."

He is probably more excited about playing at the NHL level and could give a rats ass about what number they gave him.

This is again the perfect example of an issue that is created purely in the minds of a teams fanbase.

Would everyone here take off their "I'm up the Devils butt and am a hard-up fan" hat for a second please...I don't disagree with this guy at all.  The way I look at it is like this -  that "no refund policy" should be excerciseable ONLY if the full season were to take place.  As far as I am, and many other fans, are concerned, the league and its teams "broke" their contract with season ticket holders by giving them a partial season.

You have heard MANY, MANY, MANY team executives and players say - "This is the business"..."This is entertainment"...yada yada yada...so, if they feel that the business of entertainment can be run that way, well, the "buyer" has every right to complain that his entertainment was NOT respected in good faith...

Bottom line - I'm not impressed by Lou's phone call.  Maybe you guys are "woooooooo'ed" by the GM of a team calling you, but as far as I'm concerned I didn't get what I paid for, and so, out of good faith and good will, the Devils should have respected this guy's request and HOPED he would come back next year...

That's my two cents...

You answered your own question.  Hockey is ENTERTAINMENT as well as all professional sports.  While the season has been cut almost in half this year, I didn't lose a single cent because of it.  While the season ticket holders had their money tied up with the team, the team did indeed offer refunds or credit for every month that wasn't played.  Not only that but the STH got interest as well as other perks previously not provided, so honestly they came out ahead in the long run.

To view season tickets as a contract is pure garbage IMO.  They are just access to the arena to see your favorite team for the season at a discounted price and with some perks.  Nothing more and nothing less.  Until the team starts instituting PSL's (Highly unlikely for hockey and the Devils) or if they have something like cell phone plans where you must enter into a 2-year agreement where you have to have ST for a period of time, then season tickets ARE NOT a contract.

The guy in the article was just an entitled weiner who was just pissed off about the lockout, but decided to take it out on the Devils publicly in the paper.

I get the frustration on the part of the fan, but he was just grasping at straws with his reasons for trying to back out of this season. Good on the Devils for the way they handled this. I mean, imagine getting a call from Lou and being told that he'll announce a long-term signing for a major player later that day? That's insane! From the man with the tightest lips on the planet, he personally calls you and gives you the scoop? That's fvcking awesome! Then you get to hang in the owner's box and bend VBK's ear? This guy pretty much bitched his way into every fan's dream scenarios.

Honestly if it wasn't for bamboozled he wouldn't have gotten close to Lou at all.

Hell when I asked about what happened to the Equipment sale last year at Friday's game, I was told to STFU and GTFO but not before being slapped across the face with a magnetic schedule for asking such a dumb question.
