GIANTS79

Went to the game on Saturday and I enjoyed the ceremony for Caron.  The Devils have done a great of doing these over the years.  And it got me thinking about how many they've had.  I'm going to list the ones I know about or remember and I'd appreciate if you guys could chime in with ones I didn't list

the obvious ones are the 3 cups and 3 jerseys in which they gave out a banner for each and also had a nice photo insert for the 3 jersey retirements

I assume they had a ceremony in 88-89 for the Patrick banner when they gave that out but I don't know for sure.

Emrick night last year (also had a nice photo insert)

Caron (nice photo insert)

Daneyko night in 2004 (gave out a bobblehead)  many people thought he would get his jersey retired that ngiht and were disappointed it didn't happen (but looking back, I'm glad they waited 2 more years to retire #4 first)

Brodeur 552 night (gave out an all time wins goalie stick and a photo insert with all the victories on the back)

Was there a special night for Prudential Center when that opened in terms of pre game ceremonies, etc?  meadowlands when it closed?

are there any others they've had and if so what was given out at the game if anything?

I'd really like to see a Larry Robinson night and a Jacques Lemaire night (similar to the Caron and Emrick nights). and of course they'll have a night for Lou L one of these days.

I never really followed minor league hockey, but I was wondering this lately.  Does anyone have a list or a link of a list of the history of Devils minor league hockey.  I know right there is the Albany Devils (which use to be the Lowell Devils) than I think they were the Albany Riverrats before that.  I was going through some old programs and they've linked different Devils minor league teams. 

I also got a bunch of devils items years ago (including the 2000 and 95 stanley cup banners) and he gave me a pin with a lobster on it (from Maine or one of the New England states, I'll have to check the team name) and he said that was a devils minor league team back in the day (perhaps the late 80's early 90's).

Just got me curious to see a full list of minor league teams they've had since the 82-83 move to NJ

I was wondering if anyone else out there collected different styles of pucks for the Devils and also if anyone knew of other pucks out there that I didn't list.  Right now I have the following pucks:

playoff dueling pucks going back to 2000.  I buy one for every playoff series they win and a stanley cup appearance.

back in 2000 they had 2 different versions, one for puck world and one for another company.  I have both versions for all the 2001, 2003 playoff wins and stars and flyers in 2000 (I only have one version for the panthers and leafs in 2000).  Than when they got their next playoff win in 06 and 07 I think they only had one version than which still continues with last year's wins. 

But I was wondering if there were dueling playoff pucks for 97 against Montreal, the 4 wins in 95, 94, and 88.  (I have seen a 99 devils/pens puck but they lost that series in 7 and I won't be getting it and I've seen Red wings playoff dueling pucks for 97 and 98, so they at least had some in the NHL going back to 97).  Even if you don't have it, I was curious if any of you have seen those.  I wish they had those pucks or at least would come out with them in the future.  Especially 95 vs. detroit.

I have all 3 jersey retirement pucks, which they didn't have #27 that night, but I managed to get it later.  Hopefully they will sell those for Elias and Broduer down the road.   all three cup champs puck (I've seen division and conference too, but I'll just stick with cup championships and perhaps a presidents trophy puck if they ever get that)

I have the anniversary pucks and special edition pucks:  10th, 25th, 30th, prudential first year and Prudential first game (with the devils and senators logos).  I was wondering if there was a 10th anniversary puck with the actual 10th logo in the green?  (the 10th puck I have is an sga from Carvel and they didn't color the 10th in green and it looks a little more bland than the actual color of the logo they used that year).  Too bad they didn't use a logo of the meadowlands that final year, but as far as I know they have nothing for the meadowlands in that last year.

and then special season pucks like this year I have the drop the puck logo puck they gave out, a jersey's team puck.  I was wondering if there others like Devils army, etc

Milestone pucks, two different versions of 552 for Brodeur and the shut out record puck (which all 3 have a picture of Brodeur on it).  Was wondering if any of you have seen award pucks like Niedermayer's Norris, Stevens Conn Smyth, etc

Only thing worse than when the Devils lose is when that same exact team blows a lead and loses to the Flyers the day before and than beat the Devils the next day.  The Jets better beat the Rangers on Tuesday at least.  Imagine within a few days them beating the Devils when losing the Rangers and Flyers so close together.

it's frustrating seeing them play so poorly the last 7 games (I felt they didn't play that well in the wins against the Caps or Flyers), but still a long way to go.  Don't forget they lost a home game to Tampa last year (who was very bad last year).  Devils are always a second half team and the last 2 years they were off to bad starts where this year they had a great start to still cushion this recent bad 7 game play

I normally don't watch the pre game and I got home right around game time and heard they mentioned they did a whole thing on the 88 Capitals/Devils series on yesterday's pre game.  I would really like to watch that.  Does anyone know of a site where you can watch segments like that?  I tried MSG and didn't see anything on the site for pre game material, just post game.
