'7' Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I remember a snowstorm game against Buffalo in the early 2000's at CAA...I think the Devils were down 1-0 and scored to tie the game just as time expired...and the goal was called off. They lost 1-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ELIAS6 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 i wonder how empty the arena will be tonight.. i really dont know why they wouldnt find another time to have this game ... not even because its an inconveinence to get to the arena but due to it being just not safe in general.

Didn't Christie declare a state of emergency? If so, it adds to the ridiculousness of playing tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 LGD. We could be looking at the 334 Club part 2 tonight lol. There'll never be an attendance that low again due to mass transit, not to mention there are more people in and around Newark than East Rutherford. But it's still asinine to play this game. I really hate that they don't postpone games or issue a refund, im a season ticket holder who has a hour drive without snow most games. Guess ill try some friends in NY since they can get to the game by train unlike most NJ residents. I honestly think they refuse to postpone a game because of the whole mystique of the 334 club and how that gets lionized every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRZYRIPPER Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 If it isn't cancelled by now it won't be. They know people are already on the roads headed there. Would be a huge cluster if the cancel last minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Pig Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The Devils website says right on the splash page that tonight's game will be played as scheduled. We have season tickets, but we're just eating this game. Took my wife well over an hour to make a 20-minute drive home from work, and it's only gotten worse since. Sux, but I'm not going back out in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) game in philly is cancelled... hmmm http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=701651 NEW YORK / TORONTO -- Tonight's game between the Philadelphia Flyers and Carolina Hurricanes at Wells Fargo Center, NHL Game No. 749, has been postponed due to the snow emergency declared in the city of Philadelphia. A makeup date will be announced as soon as it can be confirmed. Edited January 21, 2014 by Dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 This game should've been cancelled at noon. Bad job by the Devils management. But then again they've pretty much whiffed on everything this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coorslight Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 This game should've been cancelled at noon. Bad job by the Devils management. But then again they've pretty much whiffed on everything this year I'm really confused by all the comments like these. There's been games played where the road conditions have been WAY worse then they are today, and snow falling MUCH heavier. I guess since the team isn't playing to our wonderful fanbase's standards this year it's just time to bitch and moan about everything possible. Point has ALWAYS been, if both teams can get there, the officials can get there, the game will be played. It's never been different then any other year.

Coorslight Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Doesn't make those other incidents right. The Flyers got things right today, the Devils didn't I'm not going to argue over opinions. It's not cancelled...nor should it be in these conditions. It's not snowing over an inch an hour. Now, if someone has tickets to the game and can not make it due to the conditions, and the Devils are unwilling to accommodate in some way, then there's a valid conversation or argument to be had. Saying or insinuating the Devils are bush league to not cancel the game is just bitching for the sake of finding something to bitch about.

That's not a hard and fast rule, just a general guideline. The Flyers and Hurricanes were both 'there' and it still got canceled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said it was a hard a fast rule, you are correct it's the general guideline. IDK why the Flyers cancelled their game except the fact that, that area is also expecting 4+ inches more of snow then Newark is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodnar41 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I highly doubt the devils management would be the only ones responsible for canceling a game due to weather... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralous Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I hate to say it but the Devils are such a second class operation. I had to eat my tickets tonight since traveling from philly just isn't feasible. Can't wait for the next time they call me looking to sell a ticket package. All stubhub for here on out.

Muevelos Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Flyers did the right thing. SoE in each cities. Not safe to be out. It's standard practice and the right thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) I highly doubt the devils management would be the only ones responsible for canceling a game due to weather... The gov of the state issues a state of emergency, Devils brass phone the NHL office and say the game should be postponed as it's dangerous for the fans to get there and the Devils will take a revenue hit playing in front of a paltry crowd. Concessions will be weak. I doubt the NHL would object Edited January 21, 2014 by '7' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The Blues are a Western Conference team and it's much harder to schedule a make up game. You have to find a suitable date for both teams that doesn't require a ridiculous amount of travel for St. Louis - that is not going to be easy.

2ELIAS6 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 my god i just heard deb say the blues already have 71 points...

Have you called them and asked about some sort of compensation or alternate game tickets? Or are you just assuming they're a$$holes and don't care thus calling them a second class organization without even finding out what options you have...
